"Oh, we shall soon clear up all that," said Bradstreet.
"哦，我們不久就會把這一切搞清楚的。"布雷茲特里特說。
"Well, I have drawn my circle, and I only wish I knew at what point upon it the folk that we are in search of are to be found."
"瞧，我已經(jīng)劃好這個圓圈，我唯一希望知道的是在哪一點上我們能找到我們要找的那個家伙。"

"我想我能指出來。"福爾摩斯平靜地說。
"Really, now!" cried the inspector, "you have formed your opinion!
"真的嗎？現(xiàn)在！"巡官叫了起來，"您已經(jīng)做出了判斷！

"我說在西面，"那便衣偵探說道，"那一帶有好幾個非常平靜的小村子。""
"And I am for north," said I, "because there are no hills there,
我說在北面，"我說，"因為那一帶沒有山，

而我們的朋友說他注意到馬車沒有上過坡。"
"Come," cried the inspector, laughing; "it's a very pretty diversity of opinion.
"咳！"巡官笑著喊道，"意見分歧還不小。
We have boxed the compass among us. Who do you give your casting vote to?"
我們兜了一個圈子，您這決定性的一票投給誰呢？"
"You are all wrong." "But we can't all be."
"你們?nèi)e了。" "但是我們不可能全錯呀！"
"Oh, yes, you can. This is my point."
"哦，是的，你們?nèi)e了。你們聽聽我的觀點，"
He placed his finger in the centre of the circle. "This is where we shall find them."
他將手指放在圓圈的中心，"這就是我們會找到他們的地方。"
