"Good heavens!" I cried, "this is a terrible injury. It must have bled considerably."
"天哪！"我喊著，"多么可怕的創傷，一定流了不少血。"
"Yes, it did. I fainted when it was done, and I think that I must have been senseless for a long time.
"是的，流了不少血。受傷后我昏迷過去，我相信我一定有很長一段時間失去了知覺。

"這是用一件非常沉重、鋒利的器具砍的。"我邊檢查傷口邊說道。
"A thing like a cleaver," said he.
"像是用屠夫的切肉刀砍的。"他說。
"An accident, I presume?" "By no means."
"我想，這是意外事故，對嗎？""決不是。"
"What! a murderous attack?" "Very murderous indeed." "You horrify me."
"什么？是有人蓄意兇殘地砍的嗎？""嗯，確實極其兇殘。""真嚇人。"
