The Hound of the Baskervilles — Page 3
我承认，我亲爱的朋友，我非常感激你。"
"I confess, my dear fellow, that I am very much in your debt."
他以前从未说过这样的话，我必须承认，他的话让我感到由衷的喜悦。
He had never said as much before, and I must admit that his words gave me keen pleasure,
因为我常常因他对我的钦佩漠然置之，以及我为宣扬他的方法所做的种种努力而感到恼火。
for I had often been piqued by his indifference to my admiration and to the attempts which I had made to give publicity to his methods.
我也为自己能够充分掌握他的方法，并以一种获得他认可的方式加以运用而感到自豪。
I was proud, too, to think that I had so far mastered his system as to apply it in a way which earned his approval.
他随即从我手中接过手杖，用肉眼仔细端详了几分钟。
He now took the stick from my hands and examined it for a few minutes with his naked eyes.
然后，他带着一副感兴趣的神情，放下雪茄，拿着手杖走到窗边，用一块凸透镜再次仔细查看。
Then with an expression of interest he laid down his cigarette, and carrying the cane to the window, he looked over it again with a convex lens.
"有趣，不过只是些基础的东西，"他回到沙发上最喜欢的角落坐下，说道。
"Interesting, though elementary," said he as he returned to his favourite corner of the settee.
"这根手杖上确实有一两处线索，足以为我们提供几条推断的依据。"
"There are certainly one or two indications upon the stick. It gives us the basis for several deductions."
"有什么被我遗漏了吗？"我带着几分自得问道。
"Has anything escaped me?" I asked with some self-importance.
"我相信没有什么重要的事情是我忽略了的吧？"
"I trust that there is nothing of consequence which I have overlooked?"
"恐怕，我亲爱的华生，你的大多数结论都是错误的。"
"I am afraid, my dear Watson, that most of your conclusions were erroneous.
当我说你激励了我，坦白讲，我的意思是，在注意到你的谬误时，我偶尔会从中找到通向真相的方向。
When I said that you stimulated me I meant, to be frank, that in noting your fallacies I was occasionally guided towards the truth.
并不是说你在这件事上完全错了。
Not that you are entirely wrong in this instance.
这个人肯定是个乡村医生，而且他走路颇多。"
The man is certainly a country practitioner. And he walks a good deal."
"那么我是对的。"
"Then I was right.
