Some three hours or so afterwards we were all in the train together, bound from Reading to the little Berkshire village.

大約過(guò)了三個(gè)小時(shí)，我們一起上了火車(chē)，從雷丁出發(fā)前往伯克郡的小村子。

There were Sherlock Holmes, the hydraulic engineer, Inspector Bradstreet, of Scotland Yard, a plain-clothes man, and myself.

一行數(shù)人有歇洛克·福爾摩斯、那個(gè)水利工程師、蘇格蘭場(chǎng)的布雷茲特里特巡官，還有一位便衣偵探和我。

Bradstreet had spread an ordnance map of the county out upon the seat

布雷茲特里特在座位上鋪開(kāi)一張本郡的軍用地圖，

and was busy with his compasses drawing a circle with Eyford for its centre.

忙著用圓規(guī)以艾津?yàn)橹行漠?huà)了一個(gè)圓圈。

"There you are," said he. "That circle is drawn at a radius of ten miles from the village.

"就在這兒，"他說(shuō)，"這個(gè)圓圈是以這個(gè)車(chē)站為中心、十英里為半徑畫(huà)的。

The place we want must be somewhere near that line. You said ten miles, I think, sir."

我們要找的那個(gè)地方大約是在靠近這邊線的某個(gè)地方。先生，我記得您說(shuō)的是十英里。"

"It was an hour's good drive."

"馬車(chē)足足跑了一小時(shí)。"

"And you think that they brought you back all that way when you were unconscious?"

"您以為他們是在您昏迷之中把您從那么老遠(yuǎn)送回來(lái)的嗎？"

"They must have done so. I have a confused memory, too, of having been lifted and conveyed somewhere."

"想必他們是這樣做的。我模模糊糊地有點(diǎn)記得似乎是被抬起來(lái)運(yùn)到什么地方去過(guò)。"

"What I cannot understand," said I, "is why they should have spared you when they found you lying fainting in the garden.

"我不能理解的是，"我說(shuō)，"為什么他們?cè)诎l(fā)現(xiàn)您昏迷在花園里時(shí)會(huì)饒了您？

Perhaps the villain was softened by the woman's entreaties."

可能那個(gè)壞蛋由于那個(gè)女人求情心軟了？"

"I hardly think that likely. I never saw a more inexorable face in my life."

"我認(rèn)為那不大可能。我一生中從來(lái)沒(méi)有見(jiàn)到過(guò)比那更冷酷的面孔。"
