"Mr. John Turner," cried the hotel waiter, opening the door of our sitting-room, and ushering in a visitor.
"約翰·特納先生來訪。"旅館侍者一面打開我們起居室的房門，把來客引進來，一面說道。
The man who entered was a strange and impressive figure.
進來的這個人看上去很陌生，相貌不凡。
His slow, limping step and bowed shoulders gave the appearance of decrepitude,
他步履緩慢，一瘸一拐，肩部下垂，顯得老態龍鐘，
and yet his hard, deep-lined, craggy features, and his enormous limbs showed that he was possessed of unusual strength of body and of character.
但是他那皺紋深陷、堅定嚴峻的臉和粗壯的四肢，使人感到他具有異常的體力和個性。
His tangled beard, grizzled hair, and outstanding, drooping eyebrows combined to give an air of dignity and power to his appearance,
他的彎曲的胡須、銀灰的頭發和很有特色的下垂的眉毛結合在一起賦予了他尊貴和權威的風度和儀表，
but his face was of an ashen white, while his lips and the corners of his nostrils were tinged with a shade of blue.
但是他臉色灰白，嘴唇和鼻端呈深紫藍色。
It was clear to me at a glance that he was in the grip of some deadly and chronic disease.
我一眼就能看出，他患有不治之癥。
"Pray sit down on the sofa," said Holmes gently. "You had my note?"
福爾摩斯彬彬有禮地說："請坐在沙發上。你已收到我的便條了？"
"Yes, the lodge-keeper brought it up. You said that you wished to see me here to avoid scandal."
"是的，看門人把你的便條交給我了。你說，你想在這里和我見面以避免流言蜚語。"
"I thought people would talk if I went to the Hall."
"我想如果我到你的莊園里去，人們是會紛紛議論的。"
"And why did you wish to see me?"
"你為什么想要見我呢？"
He looked across at my companion with despair in his weary eyes, as though his question was already answered.
他以疲倦、絕望的眼光打量我的同伴，仿佛他的問題已得到回答似的。
"Yes," said Holmes, answering the look rather than the words. "It is so. I know all about McCarthy."
福爾摩斯說："是的。"這是回答他的眼色，而不是回答他的話。"是這樣的。我了解麥卡錫的一切。"
