The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
(李家真譯)

V. The Five Orange Pips
五粒橙核

P.151
“Tut! tut!” 嘖!嘖!
cried Sherlock Holmes. 福爾摩斯叫了起來,
“You must act, man, 你一定得行動起來,顆計,
or you are lost. 要不然就輸定了。
Nothing but energy can save you. 全力以赴才有救,
This is no time for despair.” 你現在可沒有工夫絕望。

夏至


夏至的夜, 有如細細的腰
在靛藍的暮光、曙光烘托下
婉約婀娜

晚空是遙夜的身影
披著歲月瀲灩的粼波
望之不可即

Mary Morstan


The Sign of the Four
Ch.2 The Statement of the Case

Miss Morstan entered the room with a firm step and an outward composure of manner.
步履穩重, 舉止端莊

She was a blonde young lady, small, dainty, well gloved, and dressed in the most perfect taste.
年輕女郎, 一頭金髪, 身材嬌小

There was, however, a plainness and simplicity about her costume which bore with it a suggestion of limited means.
只是打扮過於樸素平淡, 似乎家計並不寬裕.

Her face had neither regularity of feature nor beauty of complexion, but her expression was sweet and amiable, and her large blue eyes were singularly spiritual and sympathetic.

If she were seventeen at the time of her father's disappearance she must be seven-and-twenty now⁠---a sweet age, when youth has lost its self-consciousness and become a little sobered by experience.
曼妙年齡

電報


The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
The Bosombe Valley Mystery

Leave Paddington by the 11:15
= 由 Paddington 出發, 搭 11:15 開出的那班火車

* * *

We were seated at breakfast one morning, my wife and I, when the maid brought in a telegram. It was from Sherlock Holmes and ran in this way:

有一朝, 方對坐吃早餐----與內子, 女僕托來
一通電報, 是福爾摩斯發來的, 內容如下:


`Have you a couple of days to spare? Have just been wired for from the west of England in connection with Boscombe Valley tragedy. Shall be glad if you will come with me. Air and scenery perfect. Leave Paddington by the 11:15.'

得空兩三日否? 傾接電報, 發自英倫西部, 事關波谷倫常命案. 該地空氣與景色俱佳, 望同行. 火車柏靈頓站十一時一刻開.


`What do you say, dear?' said my wife, looking across at me. `Will you go?'
「打算怎樣,老公?」內子看過來,開口問道,「去不去?」

`I really don't know what to say. I have a fairly long list at present.'
「我也拿不定主意,手頭要辦的事不少。」


Oh, Anstruther would do your work for you. You have been looking a little pale lately. I think that the change would do you good, and you are always so interested in Mr. Sherlock Holmes' cases.

也是, 不過老安可以替你手嘛. 你近來面色不好, 調劑一下也不錯, 何況福爾摩斯先生的案件, 你向來最是心熱.

(調劑, 李家真譯)


`I should be ungrateful if I were not, seeing what I gained through one of them,' I answered. `But if I am to go, I must pack at once, for I have only half an hour.'

老殘


老殘遊記, 第七回

It is said that Mr Decadent and Shen Tung-chao were discussng the Governor and how it was just because he was talented and wanted quick promotion that he comitted so many acts of injustice, then they both sighed.

話說老殘與申東造議論玉賢正為有才,急於做官。所以喪天害理,至於如此,彼此嘆息一會。

then they both sighed. 彼此嘆息一會

Mr Shen said, `Yesterday I said I had something important to discuss with you in private, and it is about this very thing.

東造道:「正是。我昨日說有要事與先生密商,就是為此。

You consider , sir, what a tyrant this man is, and I have the misfortune to be under him. To work according to his wishes would be more than I could endure, but I see no goo means of doing otherwise.

先生想,此公殘忍至於此極。兄弟不幸,偏又在他屬下。依他做,實在不忍;不依他做,又實無良法。

Now you are rich in experience, you have ``tasted all dangers and difficuities and know the people's heart'', so you must have some good solution which I beg you to divulge.'

先生閱歷最多,所謂『險阻艱難,備嘗之矣;民之情偽,盡知之矣』,必有良策,願有以教我!」
