"I was staggered, sir. I did not know what to do.

"先生，我感到很震驚，我不知道怎么辦才好。

Then I called at the offices round, but none of them seemed to know anything about it.

我向辦公室周圍的街坊打聽，但是，看來他們誰也不知道那是怎么回事。

Finally, I went to the landlord, who is an accountant living on the ground-floor,

最后，我去找房東，他住在樓下，是當會計的。

and I asked him if he could tell me what had become of the Red-headed League.

我問他能否告訴我紅發(fā)會出了什么事。

He said that he had never heard of any such body.

他說，他從來沒有聽說過有這樣一個團體。

Then I asked him who Mr. Duncan Ross was. He answered that the name was new to him."

然后，我問他鄧肯·羅斯先生是什么人。他回答說，這個名字對他很陌生。"

'Well,' said I, 'the gentleman at No. 4.'

我說，'唔，是住在4號的那位先生。'

'What, the red-headed man?' 'Yes.'

'什么，那個紅頭發(fā)的人？''是的。'

'Oh,' said he, 'his name was William Morris.

他說，'噢，他名叫威廉·莫里斯。

He was a solicitor and was using my room as a temporary convenience until his new premises were ready. He moved out yesterday.'

他是個律師，他暫住我的屋子，因為他的新居還沒有準備好。他是昨天搬走的。'

'Where could I find him?'

' 我在什么地方能找到他呢？'

'Oh, at his new offices. He did tell me the address.

'噢，在他的新辦公室。他確實把他的地址告訴我了。

Yes, 17 King Edward Street, near St. Paul's.'

是的，愛德華王街17號，就在圣保羅教堂附近。'

"I started off, Mr. Holmes, but when I got to that address it was a manufactory of artificial knee-caps,

"福爾摩斯先生，我馬上動身到那里去了，但是，當我找到那個地方的時候，我發(fā)現(xiàn)它是個護膝制造廠，

and no one in it had ever heard of either Mr. William Morris or Mr. Duncan Ross."

這個廠子里誰也沒有聽說過有個叫威廉·莫里斯或叫鄧肯·羅斯的人。"
