The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 34
然而此时此刻，这些房间却明显留有最近被匆忙搜查过的痕迹；衣服散落在地板上，口袋都翻到了外面；上锁的抽屉敞开着；壁炉里有一堆灰烬，好像烧掉了许多文件。
At this moment, however, the rooms bore every mark of having been recently and hurriedly ransacked; clothes lay about the floor, with their pockets inside out; lock-fast drawers stood open; and on the hearth there lay a pile of grey ashes, as though many papers had been burned.
探长从这些余烬中挖出了一本绿色支票簿的残端，它经受住了火的侵蚀；手杖的另一半在门后找到了；这证实了他的怀疑，警官声称自己非常高兴。
From these embers the inspector disinterred the butt end of a green cheque book, which had resisted the action of the fire; the other half of the stick was found behind the door; and as this clinched his suspicions, the officer declared himself delighted.
去银行查访后发现凶手的账户里还有几千英镑，这让他更加满意。
A visit to the bank, where several thousand pounds were found to be lying to the murderer's credit, completed his gratification.
然而，最后这一点并不那么容易做到；因为海德先生的熟人很少——就连女仆的主人也只见过他两次；他的家人无处可寻；他从未拍过照片；而那些能够描述他的少数人说法大相径庭，就像普通观察者那样。
This last, however, was not so easy of accomplishment; for Mr. Hyde had numbered few familiars—even the master of the servant maid had only seen him twice; his family could nowhere be traced; he had never been photographed; and the few who could describe him differed widely, as common observers will.
只有一点他们意见一致；那就是这个逃犯给目击者留下了一种难以言表的畸形感，令人挥之不去。
Only on one point were they agreed; and that was the haunting sense of unexpressed deformity with which the fugitive impressed his beholders.
