The Copper Beeches

銅山毛櫸案

"To the man who loves art for its own sake," remarked Sherlock Holmes, tossing aside the advertisement sheet of the Daily Telegraph,

"一個(gè)為藝術(shù)而愛好藝術(shù)的人，"歇洛克·福爾摩斯將《每日電訊報(bào)》的廣告專頁扔在一邊說，

"it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

"常常是從最不重要和最平凡的形象中得到最大的樂趣。

It is pleasant to me to observe, Watson, that you have so far grasped this truth that in these little records of our cases which you have been good enough to draw up,

華生，我高興地觀察到，從你誠誠懇懇地為我們的案件所作的那些記錄中，你已經(jīng)掌握了這個(gè)真理，

and, I am bound to say, occasionally to embellish,

而且，我肯定地講，有時(shí)你還加以潤色，

you have given prominence not so much to the many causes célèbres and sensational trials in which I have figured

你加以突出的并不是那些我曾經(jīng)參與過的許多著名案件的偵破和轟動(dòng)一時(shí)的審訊，

but rather to those incidents which may have been trivial in themselves,

而是那些本身情節(jié)可能是平凡瑣細(xì)的案件，

but which have given room for those faculties of deduction and of logical synthesis which I have made my special province."

然而這些案件有發(fā)揮推論和邏輯綜合的才能的余地，我把它們列入我的特殊的研究范圍之內(nèi)。"

"And yet," said I, smiling, "I cannot quite hold myself absolved from the charge of sensationalism which has been urged against my records."

"然而，"我微笑著說，"我不能完全為自己在記錄中采用聳人聽聞的手法開脫。"

"You have erred, perhaps," he observed, taking up a glowing cinder with the tongs and lighting with it the long cherry-wood pipe

"也許你確有錯(cuò)誤，"他邊評(píng)論述用火鉗夾起火紅的爐渣來點(diǎn)燃他那長把的櫻挑木煙斗，

which was wont to replace his clay when he was in a disputatious rather than a meditative mood.

當(dāng)他是在爭論問題而不是在思考問題的時(shí)候，他常常是用這個(gè)煙斗來替換陶制煙斗的。

"You have erred perhaps in attempting to put colour and life into each of your statements

"也許你錯(cuò)就錯(cuò)在總是想把你的每項(xiàng)記述都寫得生動(dòng)活潑些，

instead of confining yourself to the task of placing upon record that severe reasoning from cause to effect

而不是將你的任務(wù)限制在記述事物因果關(guān)系的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)耐评砩希?/p>

which is really the only notable feature about the thing."

這實(shí)際上是事物唯一值得注意的特點(diǎn)。"
