福爾摩斯探案集·歪唇男人 第32期:揭開迷霧(5)
We both put our eyes to the grating.
我們兩人從隔柵往里瞧。
The prisoner lay with his face towards us, in a very deep sleep, breathing slowly and heavily.
那囚犯臉朝我們躺著，正在酣睡，呼吸緩慢而又深沉。
He was a middle-sized man, coarsely clad as became his calling,
他中等身材，穿著和他的行當相稱的粗料子衣服，
with a coloured shirt protruding through the rent in his tattered coat.
貼身一件染過色的襯衫從破爛的上衣裂縫處露了出來。
He was, as the inspector had said, extremely dirty,
他的確像巡官說的那樣，污穢骯臟到了無以復加的地步，
but the grime which covered his face could not conceal its repulsive ugliness.
可是他臉上的污垢還是掩蓋不了他那可憎的丑容。
A broad wheal from an old scar ran right across it from eye to chin,
從眼邊到下巴有一道寬寬的舊傷疤，
and by its contraction had turned up one side of the upper lip,
這傷疤收縮后把上唇的一邊往上吊起，
so that three teeth were exposed in a perpetual snarl.
三顆牙齒露在外面，像是一直在嗥叫的樣子。
A shock of very bright red hair grew low over his eyes and forehead.
一頭蓬松光亮的紅發(fā)低低覆蓋著兩眼和前額。
"He's a beauty, isn't he?" said the inspector.
"是個美人兒，是不是？"巡官說。
"He certainly needs a wash," remarked Holmes.
"他的確需要洗一洗，"福爾摩斯說，
"I had an idea that he might, and I took the liberty of bringing the tools with me."
"我想了個他可以洗一洗的主意，還自作主張地帶了些家伙來。"
He opened the Gladstone bag as he spoke, and took out, to my astonishment, a very large bath-sponge.
他一邊說一邊打開那個格拉德斯通制造的軟提包，取出了一塊很大的洗澡海綿，使我吃了一驚。
