It was late before Sherlock Holmes returned.
夏洛克·福爾摩斯回來(lái)得很晚。
He came back alone, for Lestrade was staying in lodgings in the town.
因?yàn)槔姿勾沟略诔抢镒∠铝?，他是一個(gè)人回來(lái)的。
"The glass still keeps very high," he remarked as he sat down.
他坐下來(lái)的時(shí)候說(shuō)，"晴雨表的水銀柱仍然很高，
"It is of importance that it should not rain before we are able to go over the ground.
希望在我們檢查現(xiàn)場(chǎng)之前千萬(wàn)不要下雨，這事關(guān)重大。
On the other hand, a man should be at his very best and keenest for such nice work as that,
另一方面，我們?nèi)プ鲞@種細(xì)致的工作必須精神十分飽滿、十分敏銳才行。
and I did not wish to do it when fagged by a long journey. I have seen young McCarthy."
我們不希望由于長(zhǎng)途跋涉而疲勞不堪的時(shí)候去做這個(gè)工作。我見(jiàn)到了小麥卡錫。"
"And what did you learn from him?" "Nothing." "Could he throw no light?"
"你從他那里了解到什么情況？""沒(méi)有了解到什么情況。""他不能提供點(diǎn)線索嗎？"
"None at all. I was inclined to think at one time that he knew who had done it and was screening him or her,
"他一點(diǎn)線索也提供不了。我一度有過(guò)這樣的想法：他知道那是誰(shuí)干的，而他是在為他或她掩蓋。
but I am convinced now that he is as puzzled as everyone else.
但是，我現(xiàn)在確信，他和別人一樣對(duì)這件事迷惑不解。
He is not a very quick-witted youth, though comely to look at and, I should think, sound at heart."
他不是一個(gè)很機(jī)敏的青年，雖然相貌很漂亮，我倒覺(jué)得他心地還是忠實(shí)可靠的。"
"I cannot admire his taste," I remarked,
我說(shuō)："那我認(rèn)為他真太沒(méi)有眼力了。
"if it is indeed a fact that he was averse to a marriage with so charming a young lady as this Miss Turner."
如果他真的不愿意和象特納小姐這樣十分有魅力的年輕姑娘結(jié)婚的話。"
