"But his wife -- you said that she had ceased to love him."

"可是他的妻子--你剛才說(shuō)過(guò)她已經(jīng)不再愛(ài)他了。"

"This hat has not been brushed for weeks.

"這頂帽子已經(jīng)有好幾個(gè)星期沒(méi)有撣撣刷刷了。

When I see you, my dear Watson, with a week's accumulation of dust upon your hat,

我親愛(ài)的華生，如果我看到你的帽子堆積了個(gè)把星期的灰塵，

and when your wife allows you to go out in such a state,

而且你的妻子聽(tīng)之任之，就讓你這個(gè)樣子去出訪，

I shall fear that you also have been unfortunate enough to lose your wife's affection."

我恐怕你也已經(jīng)很不幸地失去你的妻子的愛(ài)情了。"

"But he might be a bachelor."

"可是他可能是個(gè)單身漢哪！"

"Nay, he was bringing home the goose as a peace-offering to his wife. Remember the card upon the bird's leg."

"不可能，因?yàn)槟翘焱砩纤涯侵基Z帶回家去作為一件表示親善的禮物獻(xiàn)給他的妻子的。你可別忘了系在鵝腿上的那張卡片。"

"You have an answer to everything. But how on earth do you deduce that the gas is not laid on in his house?"

"你對(duì)每個(gè)問(wèn)題都做出了解答，可是你究竟是怎樣推斷出他家里沒(méi)有安煤氣燈的呢？"

"One tallow stain, or even two, might come by chance; but when I see no less than five,

"一滴燭油、或者甚至是兩滴燭油，那可能是偶然滴上的；可是當(dāng)我看到至少有五滴燭油時(shí)，

I think that there can be little doubt that the individual must be brought into frequent contact with burning tallow

我認(rèn)為毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)每一滴燭油都一定是由于常和點(diǎn)燃著的蠟燭接觸而滴上的。

walks upstairs at night probably with his hat in one hand and a guttering candle in the other.

比方說(shuō)，夜里上樓時(shí)很可能是一手拿著帽子，而另一只手拿著淌著燭油的蠟燭。

Anyhow, he never got tallow-stains from a gas-jet. Are you satisfied?"

不管怎么說(shuō)，他決不可能從煤氣燈上沾上燭油。你現(xiàn)在相信了吧？"

"Well, it is very ingenious," said I, laughing;

"太好了，你的腦子真靈，"我笑著說(shuō)，"

"but since, as you said just now, there has been no crime committed,

但是既然象你剛才所說(shuō)的，這中間沒(méi)有犯罪行為，

and no harm done save the loss of a goose, all this seems to be rather a waste of energy."

除了失去一只鵝以外，并未造成任何危害，所有的一切看來(lái)都是浪費(fèi)精力了。"
