W:Sherlock...夏洛克…

S:Thumbnail. Tiny traces of foil. Been at the scratch cards again. We all know where that leads. Kasbah Nights. Racy for a Monday morning, wouldn't you agree? I wrote a blog on the identification of perfumes on the website. You should look it up!大拇指甲里有箔粉痕迹,又去刮卡了,结果不用说了吧,"皇城之夜"周一早上用这个太挑逗了,你觉得呢?我在博客上写了一篇关于辨别香水的文章,你该去读一读。

S:Oh, John, I envy you so much.哦约翰我太妒忌你了

W:You envy me?你妒忌我?

S:Your mind, it's so placid, straight-forward, barely used. Mine's like an engine, racing out of control. A rocket, tearing itself to pieces, trapped on the launch pad. I need a case!你的头脑多么简单,几乎不转,而我的就像台转速过快的引擎,像被困在发射台上快炸成碎片的火箭。我需要案子。

W:You've just solved one, by harpooning a dead pig, apparently!你不是刚破了一起吗?显然通过用鱼叉戳死猪。

S:Oh, that was this morning. When's the next one?那是今天早上了,下一个什么时候才有?

W:Bluebell?蓝铃花?

S:A rabbit, John!一只兔子,约翰。

W:Oh.哦。

S:Ah, but there's more. Before Bluebell disappeared, it turned luminous. Like a fairy, according to little Kirsty. Then the next morning, Bluebell was gone. Hutch still locked, no sign of a forced entry. What am I saying, this is brilliant! Phone Lestrade. Tell him there's an escaped rabbit.还没完呢,蓝铃花消失前突然发起光来,像小精灵一样,科斯蒂小朋友写道,第二天早上蓝铃花就不见了,笼子锁着,没有强行闯入的痕迹。我在说什么这案子太好了,打电话给雷斯垂德,告诉他有只兔子逃跑了。

W:Are you serious?你开玩笑呢吧?

S:It's this or Cluedo.不照办就玩"妙探寻凶"。

W:Ah, no. We are never playing that again.不干,再也不跟你玩那个了。

S:Why not?怎么?

W:It's not possible for the victim to have done it.Sherlock,that's why.不可能是受害人干的,夏洛克。

S:It was the only possible solution.这是唯一可行的解释啊。

W:It's not in the rules.规则里没写。

S:Well, then, therules are wrong!那就是游戏规则错了。

W:A single ring.只响了一下。

S:Maximum pressure, just under the half second. Client!用力一按到底,只响了半秒,委托人。

TV:Dartmoor, it'salways been a place of myth and legend, but is there something else lurking outhere? Something very real. Dartmoor is also home to one the government's mostsecret of operations, the chemical and biological weapons research centre, whichis said to be even more sensitive than Porton Down. Since the end of the SecondWorld War, there have been persistent stories about the Baskervilleexperiments. Genetic mutations, animals grown for the battlefield. There aremany who believe that within this compound, in the heart of this ancientwildness, there are horrors beyond imagining. But the real question is, are allof them still inside?达特沼地一直流传各种神话传说,但是否真有什么潜伏着呢?非常真实的东西,达特沼地也是政府最神秘机构的所在地,生化武器研究中心是比波登当(国防科技实验室)还敏感的名词。二战结束后,坊间一直流传着巴斯克维尔实验的传言,基因突变的,为战场培育的动物,很多人相信,在这排围栏里,在这片古老的荒野中有难以想象的恐怖事件发生,但更重要的问题是,是否有些已踏入外面的世界?

H:I was just a kid. Itwas on the moor. It was dark, but I know what I saw. I know what killed myfather. 我那时还只是个孩子,就发生在沼地上,天很黑但我知道看见了什么,我知道是什么杀了我父亲。

H:Oh, I was just about to say.我后面正要说呢。

S:Yes, in a TV interview. I prefer to do my own editing.那是电视采访,我喜欢听未剪辑版

H:Yes. Sorry, yes, of course. Excuse me.对哦,抱歉。

S:In your own time. But quite quickly.不着急但还是快点

H:Do you know Dartmoor, Mr Holmes?您知道达特沼地吗?福尔摩斯先生?

S:No.不知道。

H:It's an amazing place, it's like nowhere else, it's sort of bleak, but beautiful.美丽的地方,独一无二,有些荒凉,但是很美。

S:Hm, not interested. Moving on.不感兴趣,继续。

H:We used to go for walks, after my mum died, my dad and me. Every evening, we'd go out onto the moor.母亲去世之后,我和父亲经常去散步。每天晚上走去沼地。

S:Good. Skipping to the night that your dad was violently killed, where did that happen?好吧快进到你父亲被残杀那天晚上发生在哪里?

H:There's a place, it's a sort of local landmark, called Dewer's Hollow. That's an ancient name for the devil.有这么个地方,算是当地地标,叫恶魔谷。德沃是恶魔的古名。

S:So? 所以呢?

W:Did you see the devil that night?你那晚上看到恶魔了吗?

H:Yes.是的。

H:It was huge. Coal-black fur with red eyes. It got him. Tore at him, tore him apart. I can't remember anything else. They found me the next morning, just wandering on the moor. My dad's body was never found.体型巨大,皮毛乌黑,双目血红,它把他扑倒在地,不停撕咬,将他撕碎,我只记得这些了,他们第二天早上发现我在沼地游荡,爸爸的尸体至今未找到。

W:Red eyes, coal-blackfur, enormous... A dog? Wolf? Or a genetic experiment.双目血红毛发乌黑庞大...狗?狼?或是基因实验品。

H:Are you laughing at me, Mr Holmes?你在笑我吗?福尔摩斯先生?

S:Why, are you joking?怎么你说笑话了?

H:My dad was always going on about the things they were doing at Baskerville. About the type of monsters they were breeding there. People used to laugh at him. At least the TV people took me seriously.我父亲一直跟我讲,他们在巴斯克维尔做的事情,告诉我他们培育的怪兽,人们总是笑话他,至少电视台的人认真对待我。

S:And I assume did wonders for Devon tourism.我猜也是德文郡旅游业的福音吧。

W:Henry, whatever didhappen to your father,it was 20 yearsago. 亨利,不管你父亲有怎样的遭遇都是20年以前的事了。

S:Why come to us now?怎么现在来找我们呢?

H:Not sure you canhelp me, Mr Holmes, since you find it all so funny! 你大概帮不了我,福尔摩斯先生,既然你觉得整件事很可笑。

S:Because of what happened last night.因为昨晚发生的事。
