But to-day being Saturday rather complicates matters. I shall want your help to-night."

I trust that I am not more dense than my neighbours,
我敢說，我這個人并不比我的朋友們愚鈍，
but I was always oppressed with a sense of my own stupidity in my dealings with Sherlock Holmes.
但是在我和歇洛克·福爾摩斯的交往中，我總感覺到一種壓力：我自己太笨了。
Here I had heard what he had heard, I had seen what he had seen,
就拿這件事來說吧，他聽到的我也都聽到了，他見到的我也都見到了，
and yet from his words it was evident that he saw clearly not only what had happened but what was about to happen,
但從他的談話中可以明顯地看出，他不但清楚地了解到已經發生的事情，而且還預見到將要發生的事情；
while to me the whole business was still confused and grotesque.
而在我看來，這件事仍然是混亂和荒唐的。
