The Hound of the Baskervilles — Page 2
「我认为，」我说，尽可能地效仿我同伴的方法，「莫蒂默博士是一位成功的、年长的医生，深受尊敬，因为那些认识他的人给了他这份欣赏的标志。」
"I think," said I, following as far as I could the methods of my companion, "that Dr. Mortimer is a successful, elderly medical man, well-esteemed since those who know him give him this mark of their appreciation."
「很好！」福尔摩斯说。「太棒了！」
"Good!" said Holmes. "Excellent!"
「我还认为，他很可能是一位乡村医生，经常步行出诊。」
"I think also that the probability is in favour of his being a country practitioner who does a great deal of his visiting on foot."
「为何这样说？」
"Why so?"
「因为这根手杖，虽然原本十分精美，却已被磕碰得如此厉害，我实在难以想象一位城里的医生会随身携带它。粗重的铁箍已经磨损，显然他曾拄着它走了很多路。」
"Because this stick, though originally a very handsome one has been so knocked about that I can hardly imagine a town practitioner carrying it. The thick-iron ferrule is worn down, so it is evident that he has done a great amount of walking with it."
「完全正确！」福尔摩斯说。
"Perfectly sound!" said Holmes.
「还有，这里写着'C.C.H.的朋友们'。我猜那应该是某某猎狐俱乐部，是当地的狩猎团体，他可能曾为其成员提供过一些外科方面的帮助，而俱乐部也因此回赠了他一份小礼物。」
"And then again, there is the 'friends of the C.C.H.' I should guess that to be the Something Hunt, the local hunt to whose members he has possibly given some surgical assistance, and which has made him a small presentation in return."
「真的，华生，你超越了自己，」福尔摩斯说，推开椅子，点上一支烟。「我不得不说，在你如此热心地记述我那些微小成就的所有故事中，你一向低估了自己的能力。也许你本身并不发光，但你是光的传导者。有些人虽不具备天赋，却拥有一种非凡的激发天赋的能力。」
"Really, Watson, you excel yourself," said Holmes, pushing back his chair and lighting a cigarette. "I am bound to say that in all the accounts which you have been so good as to give of my own small achievements you have habitually underrated your own abilities. It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it."
