We sat in silence for some minutes, Holmes more depressed and shaken than I had ever seen him.
我們默默地坐了幾分鐘，福爾摩斯意氣沮喪，深受震驚的神情是我從未見過的。
"That hurts my pride, Watson," he said at last.
"這件事傷了我的自尊心，華生，"他終于開口說道，
"It is a petty feeling, no doubt, but it hurts my pride.
"雖然這是一種偏狹的感情，但它是傷了我的自尊心。
It becomes a personal matter with me now, and, if God sends me health, I shall set my hand upon this gang.
現(xiàn)在這成為我個人的事了。如上帝假我以天年，我就要親手解決這幫家伙。
That he should come to me for help, and that I should send him away to his death...!"
他跑來向我求救，而我竟然把他打發(fā)走去送死...！"
He sprang from his chair and paced about the room in uncontrollable agitation,
他從椅子里一躍而起，在房中踱來踱去，情緒激動，難以抑制。
with a flush upon his sallow cheeks and a nervous clasping and unclasping of his long thin hands.
他深陷的雙頰上浮現(xiàn)赧顏，兩只瘦長的手不安地一會兒手指交叉著緊握在一起，一會兒又松開。
"They must be cunning devils," he exclaimed at last.
最后，他大聲說道："他們這幫魔鬼真是狡猾透了。
"How could they have decoyed him down there? The Embankment is not on the direct line to the station.
他們怎么能夠把他騙到那兒去的呢？那堤岸并不在直達(dá)車站的路線上呀！
The bridge, no doubt, was too crowded, even on such a night, for their purpose.
對于達(dá)到他們的目的來說，即使在這樣一個黑夜，在那座橋上無疑也是人太多了。
Well, Watson, we shall see who will win in the long run. I am going out now!" "To the police?"
唉，華生，咱們瞧著吧，看誰最后取得勝利！我現(xiàn)在就要出去了！""去找警察嗎？"
"No; I shall be my own police. When I have spun the web they may take the flies, but not before."
"不，我自己來當(dāng)警察。等我結(jié)好了網(wǎng)，就可以來捕捉蒼蠅了。可是要在結(jié)好網(wǎng)之后捕捉。"
