"What a woman–oh, what a woman!" cried the King of Bohemia, when we had all three read this epistle.
"多么了不起的女人啊——噢，一個多么了不起的女人啊！"當我們三個人一起念這封信時，波希米亞國王這么喊道。
"Did I not tell you how quick and resolute she was? Would she not have made an admirable queen?
"我不是告訴過你們，她是多么機敏和果斷嗎？假如她能當王后，那她不就是一個令人欽佩的王后嗎？
Is it not a pity that she was not on my level?"
多么可惜她和我的地位不一樣！"
"From what I have seen of the lady she seems indeed to be on a very different level to your Majesty," said Holmes coldly.
"從我在這位女士身上所看到的來說，她的水平的確和陛下的水平很不一樣，"福爾摩斯冷淡地說道，
"I am sorry that I have not been able to bring your Majesty's business to a more successful conclusion."
"我很遺憾沒能使陛下的事情得到一個更為成功的結局。"
