"'You may as well face the matter,' said I; 'you have been caught in the act, and no confession could make your guilt more heinous.

"'你也應(yīng)該正視這件事，'我說，'你是當(dāng)場被抓住的，而拒不承認(rèn)得會加重你的罪行。

If you but make such reparation as is in your power, by telling us where the beryls are, all shall be forgiven and forgotten.'

如果你想采取你能做到的這樣一個補(bǔ)救辦法，也就是把隱藏綠玉的地方告訴我們，那么一切都可寬恕，并且不念舊惡。'

'Keep your forgiveness for those who ask for it,' he answered, turning away from me with a sneer.

'將你的寬恕留給那些向你懇求寬恕的人吧。'他輕蔑地一笑回答道，轉(zhuǎn)身離開了我。

I saw that he was too hardened for any words of mine to influence him.

我看他頑固到了絕非任何言辭所能感化的程度。

There was but one way for it. I called in the inspector and gave him into custody.

沒有別的辦法，于是我只好叫巡官進(jìn)來把他看管起來。

A search was made at once not only of his person but of his room and of every portion of the house where he could possibly have concealed the gems;

隨后立刻作了全面搜查，他的身上，他所住的房間以及屋里他可能藏匿寶石的每個地方都搜查遍了，

but no trace of them could be found, nor would the wretched boy open his mouth for all our persuasions and our threats.

但是沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)任何痕跡，盡管我們用盡了種種勸誘和恐嚇，這倒霉的孩子還是一句話也不肯講。

This morning he was removed to a cell, and I, after going through all the police formalities,

今天早上他被送進(jìn)了牢房。而我在辦完了警方要求我辦的一切手續(xù)之后，

have hurried round to you to implore you to use your skill in unravelling the matter.

便急忙趕到這兒來求你運(yùn)用你的本領(lǐng)破案。

The police have openly confessed that they can at present make nothing of it.

警察公開承認(rèn)他們眼下一無所獲。

You may go to any expense which you think necessary.

你可以為此事花費(fèi)你認(rèn)為需要的費(fèi)用。

I have already offered a reward of 1000 pounds. My God, what shall I do!

我已經(jīng)懸賞一千英鎊。天啊，我怎么辦呢？

I have lost my honour, my gems, and my son in one night. Oh, what shall I do!"

一夜之間我就失去了我的信譽(yù)，我的寶石和我的兒子。??！我該怎么辦呢？"
