（单词翻译）

"Awake, Watson?" he asked. "Yes."

"醒了么，华生？"他问道。"醒了。"

"Game for a morning drive?" "Certainly."

"早上赶车出去玩玩如何？""好的！"

"Then dress. No one is stirring yet, but I know where the stable-boy sleeps, and we shall soon have the trap out."

"那么，穿上衣服吧。谁都没起哪，可是我知道那小马僮睡觉的地方，我们很快就会把马车弄出来的。"

He chuckled¹ to himself as he spoke², his eyes twinkled,

他边说边咯咯地笑了起来，两眼闪烁着光芒，

and he seemed a different man to the sombre thinker of the previous night.

似乎和昨夜那个苦思冥想的他判若两人。

As I dressed I glanced at my watch.

我穿衣时看了一下表。

It was no wonder that no one was stirring. It was twenty-five minutes past four.

难怪还没有人品身，这时才四点二十五分。

I had hardly finished when Holmes returned with the news that the boy was putting in the horse.

我刚刚穿好衣服，福尔摩斯就回来说马僮正在套车。

"I want to test a little theory of mine," said he, pulling on his boots.

"我要检验一下我小小的理论，"他说，拉上他的靴子，

"I think, Watson, that you are now standing³ in the presence of one of the most absolute fools in Europe.

"华生，我认为你现在正站在全欧洲的一个最笨的糊涂虫面前！

I deserve to be kicked from here to Charing⁴ Cross. But I think I have the key of the affair now."

我该被人们一脚从这儿踢到查林克罗斯去！可是我想我现在已经找到了开启这个案子的这把锁的钥匙了。"

"And where is it?" I asked, smiling.

"在哪里？"我微笑着问道。

"In the bathroom," he answered.

"在盥洗室里，"他回答道，

"Oh, yes, I am not joking," he continued, seeing my look of incredulity.

"哦，我不是开玩笑。"他看见我有点不相信的样子，就继续说下去。

"I have just been there, and I have taken it out, and I have got it in this Gladstone bag.

"我刚到那里去过，我已经把它拿出来了，放进格拉德斯通制造的软提包里了。

Come on, my boy, and we shall see whether it will not fit the lock."

走吧，伙计，让咱瞧瞧钥匙对不对得上锁。"
