血字的研究 #2 - 遗失的戒指
格雷格森警探：福尔摩斯先生，您能来真是太好了。我已命令手下现场保持原状，哪儿也别动。
Gregson：Mr. Sherlock Holmes. It is indeed kind of you to come.I have had everything left untouched.
夏洛克：一群野牛踩过去，也不会像现在这样稀巴烂。格雷格森警探，想必你对案子有了定论，才会准许手下人这么做的吧？
Sherlock：Except that. If a herd of buffaloes had passed along there could not be a greater mess. No doubt, however, you had drawn your own conclusions, Detective Gregson, before you permitted this.
格雷格森警探：我一直在屋里忙活，莱斯特雷德警探也在现场，外边的事交由他负责。
Gregson：Well. I have had so much to do inside the house. Detective Lestrade, is here. I had relied upon him to look after this.
夏洛克：你是坐马车过来的？
Sherlock：You did not come here in a cab?
格雷格森警探：不是。
Gregson：No, sir.
夏洛克：好的，我们进屋看看。
Sherlock：Alright then. Then let us go and look at the room.
莱斯特雷德警探：晚上好，福尔摩斯先生。这位是您的助手吗？
Lestrade：Good evening, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
夏洛克：晚上好，莱斯特雷德警探，这位是我的朋友，约翰华生。
Sherlock：Good evening, Detective Lestrade. This is my friend, John Watson.
莱斯特雷德警探：这桩案子我还没有头绪，比之前遇到的所有案子都离奇。今晚我们的一个警员发现了死者尸体，我们赶到后仔细检查了现场。如你所见，现场有血迹，但经过鉴定死者没有受伤，目前我们没有发现任何线索。
Lestrade：This case beats anything I have seen, and I am no chicken.One constable found the body tonight.We arrived and carefully examined the scene.As you can see, there was blood at the scene.But the deceased was identified as uninjured.We have no clues at this time.
夏洛克：没人动过尸体吧。
Sherlock：The body has not been moved at all?
莱斯特雷德警探：只在做必要检查时稍微动了一下。
Lestrade：No more than was necessary for the purposes of our examination
夏洛克：可以送去停尸房了，没什么可查了。
Sherlock：You can take him to the mortuary now. There is nothing more to be learned.
莱斯特雷德警探：是枚女人的婚戒，一定有个女人来过这里。
Lestrade：It’s a woman’s wedding-ring. There’s been a woman here.
莱斯特雷德警探：更复杂了，天哪，这案子本来就够复杂的。
Lestrade：This complicates matters. Heaven knows, they were complicated enough before.
夏洛克：说不定案子会因此明朗起来？光盯着戒指发呆是没用的。你们还有什么发现？
Sherlock：You’re sure it doesn’t simplify them? There’s nothing to be learned by staring at it. What else did you find?
莱斯特雷德警探：对了，差点忘记了，看这面墙！
Lestrade：Right.I almost forgot.Look at this wall!
莱斯特雷德警探：我在死者房间的墙上发现的，你们看，还有血顺着墙壁流下来的痕迹，一定是凶手用自己的血写成的。
Lestrade：I found it on the wall of the victim's room, and look, there are traces of blood running down the wall. The murderer must have written it in his own blood
莱斯特雷德警探：凶手打算写一个女人的名字：瑞秋（Rachel）。一定是中间又发生了什么事，所以凶手没来得及写下最后一个字母。各位，请记住，待到此案真相大白之时，你们会发现有个名叫瑞秋的女人牵连其中。
Lestrade：The murderer was going to put the female name Rachel, but was disturbed before he or she had time to finish. You mark my words, when this case comes to be cleared up you will find that a woman named Rachel has something to do with it.
夏洛克：真是天衣无缝的推理，莱斯特雷德警探。
Sherlock：What a seamless deduction, Detective Lestrade
夏洛克：先生们，我还没机会检查这间屋子，我需要开始工作了。你们可以在隔壁房间等我，我不喜欢被打扰。
Sherlock：Gentlemen. I have not had time to examine this room yet, I shall do so now.You can wait for me in the next room, I don't like to be disturbed.
福尔摩斯：先生们。我已经检查完了。人们常说，天才就是一种不懈努力、吃尽苦头的本领。这个定义不太恰当，不过用来形容侦探工作倒挺合适。
Sherlock：Gentlemen, I've finished my inspection. They say that genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains. It’s a very bad definition, but it does apply to detective work.
莱斯特雷德警探：福尔摩斯先生，你怎么看？
Lestrade：What do you think of it, sir
福尔摩斯：要是我贸然出手相助，岂不是抢了二位的功劳？你们的侦查已经进展得非常顺利，完全不需要外人插手。如果能及时将调查到的新情况告知我，我愿意全力协助你们。
Sherlock：It would be robbing you of the credit of the case if I was to presume to help you.You are doing so well now that it would be a pity for anyone to interfere.If you will let me know how your investigations go.I shall be happy to give you any help I can.
福尔摩斯：华生和我还要去观看一场音乐会。但是我可以告诉你们一件事，或许有助于破案。这的确是谋杀案，凶手是个男人，身高六英尺多，正当壮年；个子虽高，脚却略偏小，穿着粗皮方头靴；抽印度特里其城出产的雪茄。凶手和受害者同乘一辆四轮马车来这里；拉车的马只有一匹，马右前蹄的蹄铁新换不久，其余三块蹄铁都是旧的。凶手很可能面色红润，右手指甲留得特别长。以上仅是我的一点点推测，但这些线索应该对你们有所帮助。
Sherlock：Now Watson and I have a concert to go to.before we go. I’ll tell you one thing which may help you in the case. There has been murder done, and the murderer was a man. He was more than six feet high, was in the prime of life, had small feet for his height, wore coarse, square-toed boots and smoked a Trichinopoly cigar. He came here with his victim in a four-wheeled cab, which was drawn by a horse with three old shoes and one new one on his off fore leg. In all probability the murderer had a florid face, and the finger-nails of his right hand were remarkably long. These are only a few indications, but they may assist you.
莱斯特雷德警探：假设受害者是被人谋杀，那他是怎么死的呢？
Lestrade：If this man was murdered, how was it done?
夏洛克：毒死的。还有件事，莱斯特雷德，RACHE是个德文单词，意思为复仇。别浪费时间找什么瑞秋小姐了。
Sherlock：Poison. One other thing, Lestrade. ‘Rache,’ is the German for ‘revenge;’ so don’t lose your time looking for Miss Rachel.
夏洛克：走吧，华生先生，我们要错过音乐会了。
Sherlock：Come on, Dr. Watson, we're going to miss the concert.
音乐厅到了，我们走吧。
Sherlock：the concert hall is here, let's go!
夏洛克：真是一场精彩的演奏会。知道达尔文对音乐的见解吗？他认为，人类早在获得语言能力之前，就具备了创造音乐和欣赏音乐的能力。也许正是这个原因，我们对音乐的感受才会如此敏锐细腻。对于人类世界混沌初期的朦胧岁月，每个人的灵魂深处都保留着依稀回忆。
Sherlock：What a great show. Do you remember what Darwin says about music? He claims that the power of producing and appreciating it existed among the human race long before the power of speech was arrived at. Perhaps that is why we are so subtly influenced by it. There are vague memories in our souls of those misty centuries when the world was in its childhood.
夏洛克：华生，你看上去不大对劲。看来布利克斯顿路的案子让你心神不宁。悬而未决的谜案容易刺激想象，而没有根据的想象最容易引起恐惧。看了晚报吗？我这有，看一下
Sherlock：Watson. You’re not looking quite yourself. The Brixton Road affair has upset you.There is a mystery about this which stimulates the imagination; where there is no imagination there is no horror. Have you seen the evening paper? here. take a look.
夏洛克：看到这则失物招领启事了吗？刚检查完案发现场，我立刻给各家报纸发了启事。我将用一枚假戒指让他现身，此人宁愿冒任何风险，也不愿失去这枚戒指。现在我们要做的，就是等待鱼儿上钩
Sherlock：Look at this advertisement. I had one sent to every paper this evening immediately after the affair. I will use a fake wedding-ring to make him appear.He would rather take any risk than lose the ring.Now all we have to do is wait for the fish to take the bait
老妇人：对不起先生，请问是在报纸上刊登失物招领的华生先生吗
Old lady：Excuse me sir, is this the gentleman who put the lost and found in the newspaper?
夏洛克：是的，我是
Sherlock：Yes.I am.
老妇人：我是按照报纸上刊登留下的地址找来的，布利克斯顿路的那枚纯金婚戒是我女儿萨莉的。去年，差不多也是这个时候，她嫁给了一个跑船的。要是他出海回来发现结婚戒指不见了，我的天，真不敢想象他会发多大的脾气。他这个人，平常就是个急性子，沾点酒后更是不敢惹。
Old lady：I found it by following the address left in the newspaper.a gold wedding ring in the Brixton Road. It belongs to my girl Sally, as was married only this time twelvemonth, which her husband is steward aboard a Union boat, and what he’d say if he comes ’ome and found her without her ring is more than I can think, he being short enough at the best o’ times, but more especially when he has the drink.
夏洛克：是这枚戒指吗？
Sherlock：Is that her ring?
老妇人：谢天谢地！就是这枚！萨莉今晚可要高兴死了。
Old lady：The Lord be thanked! Sally will be a glad woman this night. That’s the ring.
夏洛克：您的戒指，请拿好。戒指显然是您女儿的，物归原主了，我非常高兴。
Sherlock：Here is your ring .it clearly belongs to your daughter, and I am glad to be able to restore it to the rightful owner
老妇人：非常感谢，我要第一时间赶回去还给我女儿。
Old lady：Thank you so much. I need to get back to my daughter as soon as possible.
夏洛克：我去跟着她，她肯定是同谋，跟着她能找到凶手的下落。你先回去，等我回来。
Sherlock：I’ll follow her.She must be an accomplice, and will lead me to him. Watson, Go back home and wait up for me.
夏洛克：华生，我跟丢了，那个老东西没走多远，一瘸一拐装出脚疼的样子，后来干脆停下来不走了，叫住一辆路过的四轮马车。我亲眼见她钻进车厢，于是纵身一跳，站到车厢背后的边沿上。每个侦探都必须熟练掌握跳车这门技术活。马车飞驰，一路没停，直到邓肯街才稍稍放慢速度。快到门口我提前跳下车。
Sherlock：Watson. Can’t believe I lost her. That creature had gone a little way when she began to limp and show every sign of being foot-sore. Presently she came to a halt, and hailed a fourwheeler which was passing.
having seen her safely inside, I perched myself behind. That’s an art which every detective should be an expert at. Well, away we rattled, and never drew rein until we reached the street in question. I hopped off before we came to the door
夏洛克：那人肯定是个年轻男人，身手敏捷，演技一流，还特别擅长乔装打扮，扮演的老太婆真是无懈可击。很明显，他早就察觉到有人跟踪，所以使了金蝉脱壳这一招。看来，我们追查的凶手并不是我想的那样孤身作战，他有众多帮手，个个都甘愿为他铤而走险。
Sherlock：It must have been a young man, and an active one, too, besides being an incomparable actor. The get-up was inimitable. He saw that he was followed, no doubt, and used this means of giving me the slip. It shows that the man we are after is not as lonely as I imagined he was, but has friends who are ready to risk something for him.
夏洛克：华生，看样子你是累坏了。听我的，睡觉去吧。
Sherlock：Watson, you are looking done-up. Take my advice and turn in.
