"There is one other thing you owe, Mr. Holder," said Sherlock Holmes rather sternly.
"你另外還欠了筆債，霍爾德先生。"福爾摩斯相當嚴肅地說。
"Owe!" He caught up a pen. "Name the sum, and I will pay it."
"欠債！"他拿起一支筆，"欠多少，我這就償還。"
"No, the debt is not to me.
"不，這筆債不是欠我的。
You owe a very humble apology to that noble lad, your son,
你應該對那個高尚的小伙子，你的兒子好好地道歉，
who has carried himself in this matter as I should be proud to see my own son do, should I ever chance to have one."
他把這件事攬在自己身上了，我要是能看到我自己的兒子這樣做，我也會感到驕傲的，倘使我有這樣一個孩子的話。"
"Then it was not Arthur who took them?"
"那么不是阿瑟拿走的？"
"I told you yesterday, and I repeat today, that it was not."
"我昨天就告訴過你，今天我再重復一遍，不是他。"
"You are sure of it! Then let us hurry to him at once to let him know that the truth is known."
"你肯定是這樣！那么讓我們馬上趕到他那里去，讓他知道已經真相大白了。"
"He knows it already. When I had cleared it all up I had an interview with him, and finding that he would not tell me the story,
"他已經知道了。我全部搞清楚后去找他談過，發現他不愿意將實情告訴我，
I told it to him, on which he had to confess that I was right and to add the very few details which were not yet quite clear to me.
我干脆對他說了，他聽后不得不承認我是對的，并且對我還不很清楚的幾個細節做了補充。
Your news of this morning, however, may open his lips."
你今天早晨帶來的消息，必定能使他開口。"
"For heaven's sake, tell me, then, what is this extraordinary mystery!"
"我的老天爺呀！那么，快告訴我這非常離奇的謎到底是怎么回事吧！"
