巴斯克威尔的猎犬 巴斯克维尔庄园（2）

（单词翻译）

"Would it not be well in the first place to get rid ofl this Barrymore couple?"“首先辞掉白瑞摩这对夫妇不好吗？ ”

"By no means. You could not make a greater mistake. If they are innocent¹ it would be a cruelinjustice, and if they are guilty we should be giving up all chance of bringing it home to them. No,no, we will preserve them upon our list of suspects. Then there is a groom² at the Hall, if Iremember right. There are two moorland farmers. There is our friend Dr. Mortimer, whom Ibelieve to be entirely³ honest, and there is his wife, of whom we know nothing. There is thisnaturalist, Stapleton, and there is his sister, who is said to be a young lady of attractions. There isMr. Frankland, of Lafter Hall, who is also an unknown factor. and there are one or two otherneighbours. These are the folk who must be your very special study."“千万别这样做， 否则你就要犯绝大的错误了。 如果他们是无辜的话， 这样就太不公正了； 如果他们是有罪的话， 这样一来， 反而不能加他们以应得之罪了。 不， 不， 不能这样，咱们得把他们列入嫌疑分子名单。 如果我没有记错的话， 还有一个马夫， 还有两个沼地的农民。 还有咱们的朋友摩梯末医生， 我相信他是完全诚实的， 但是， 关于他的太太， 咱们是一无所知的。 生物学家斯台普吞， 还有他的妹妹， 据说她是位动人的年轻女郎呢。 有赖福特庄园的弗兰克兰先生， 他是个情况未明的人物。 还有其他一两个邻居。 这些都是你必须加以特别研究的人物。”

"I will do my best."

“我将尽力而为。”

"You have arms, I suppose?"

“我想你带着武器吧？ ”

"Yes, I thought it as well to take them."

“带了， 我也想还是带去的好。”

"Most certainly. Keep your revolver near you night and day, and never relax yourprecautions."

“当然， 你那支左轮枪， 日日夜夜都应带在身边， 不能有一时一刻的粗心大意。”

Our friends had already secured⁴ a first-class carriage and were waiting for us upon theplatform.
