"We have got to the deductions and the inferences," said Lestrade, winking at me.
雷斯垂德一面對我使了個眼色一面說："我們已經用演繹法來推斷過了。
"I find it hard enough to tackle facts, Holmes, without flying away after theories and fancies."
福爾摩斯，我覺得，不去輕率地空發議論和想入非非，專門去調查核實事實就已經夠難辦的了。"
"You are right," said Holmes demurely; "you do find it very hard to tackle the facts."
福爾摩斯很有風趣地說："你說得對，你確實覺得核實事實很難辦。"
"Anyhow, I have grasped one fact which you seem to find it difficult to get hold of," replied Lestrade with some warmth. "And that is..."

It was a widespread, comfortable-looking building, two-storied, slate-roofed,
那是一所占地面積很大、樣式令人感到舒適愜意的兩層石板瓦頂樓房，
with great yellow blotches of lichen upon the gray walls.
灰色的墻上長著大片大片的黃色苔蘚。
The drawn blinds and the smokeless chimneys, however, gave it a stricken look,
然而窗簾低垂，煙囪也不冒煙，顯得很凄涼的樣子，
as though the weight of this horror still lay heavy upon it.
仿佛這次事件的恐怖氣氛仍然沉甸甸地壓在它的上面似的。
