It was obvious to me that my companion's mind was now made up about the case,

我清楚地知道我的伙伴現(xiàn)在對這個案件已經(jīng)胸有成竹，

although what his conclusions were was more than I could even dimly imagine.

至于他究竟有了些什么樣的結(jié)論，我連一點(diǎn)朦朧的印象也沒有。

Several times during our homeward journey I endeavoured to sound him upon the point,

在我們回家的途中，我屢次想從他那里探聽出這一點(diǎn)，

but he always glided away to some other topic, until at last I gave it over in despair.

但是他總是扯到別的話題上去，最后我只好失望地放棄了這個意圖。

It was not yet three when we found ourselves in our room once more.

還不到下午三時，我們就回到了自己屋里。

He hurried to his chamber, and was down again in a few minutes dressed as a common loafer.

他急忙走進(jìn)他的房間，幾分鐘后便打扮成一個普遍的流浪漢下樓來。

With his collar turned up, his shiny, seedy coat, his red cravat, and his worn boots, he was a perfect sample of the class.

他把領(lǐng)子翻上去，穿著磨得發(fā)光的破外衣，打著紅領(lǐng)帶，穿著一雙破舊的皮靴，成了一個典型的流浪漢。

"I think that this should do," said he, glancing into the glass above the fireplace.

"我這樣打扮還像吧，"他一邊說一邊對著壁爐上的鏡子照了一下。

"I only wish that you could come with me, Watson, but I fear that it won't do.

"我真希望你能和我一塊去，華生，但是恐怕不行。

I may be on the trail in this matter, or I may be following a will-o'-the-wisp, but I shall soon know which it is.

我可能找到這個案子的線索，也可能是跟著鬼火瞎跑，但是我不久就會明白是哪種可能。

I hope that I may be back in a few hours."

我希望幾個小時內(nèi)就會回來。"

He cut a slice of beef from the joint upon the sideboard, sandwiched it between two rounds of bread,

他從餐柜上放著的大塊牛肉上割下一塊，夾在兩片面包里，

and thrusting this rude meal into his pocket he started off upon his expedition.

然后把這干糧塞進(jìn)口袋，就出發(fā)探險去了。
