福爾摩斯探案集 中英雙語EPUB與單字表

原著正文 · 英語

To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler.

對照譯文

對夏洛克·福爾摩斯而言，她永遠是「那位女人」。我很少聽他用別的名字提到她。在他眼中，她使所有同性都黯然失色，獨佔鰲頭。這並不是說他對艾琳·艾德勒懷有任何近乎愛情的情感。

原著正文 · 英語

All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen.

對照譯文

一切情感，尤其是愛情，對於他那冷靜、精密卻又平衡得令人欽佩的頭腦來說，都是深惡痛絕的。在我看來，他是世上所見過的最完美的推理與觀察機器。

原著正文 · 英語

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street.

對照譯文

一天晚上——那是 1888 年 3 月 20 日——我看完一位病人歸來（因為當時我已重操私人行醫舊業），順路經過貝克街。

原著正文 · 英語

As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers.

對照譯文

當我走過那扇記憶猶新的大門時——在我腦海中，它永遠與我的求婚歲月以及《血字的研究》裡那些陰暗的事件聯繫在一起——我心中湧起一股強烈的渴望，想再去見見福爾摩斯，看看他正在如何施展他那非凡的本領。
