來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:

A: A friend told me that detective stories are a good way of learning English. Do you agree?

一個(gè)朋友跟我說(shuō)看偵探小說(shuō)是學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的一種好方法。你同意嗎？

B: Yes I do because they are interesting and they also make you think about puzzles and how to solve them.

是的，我同意，因?yàn)檫@些小說(shuō)很有意思，也會(huì)促使你思考難題，想著如何去解決問(wèn)題。

A: So in that case which detective stories would you recommend?

那你會(huì)推薦哪些偵探小說(shuō)呢？

B: Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle are much loved here in China.

阿瑟-柯南道爾寫(xiě)的歇洛克·幅爾摩斯的故事，在中國(guó)很受歡迎。

A: Why is that?

為什么？

B: Maybe because he is an original character and because he is able to tell from one look exacdy whar a person does for a job.

也許是因?yàn)楦柲λ故莻€(gè)原創(chuàng)人物，還因?yàn)樗邆渲豢匆谎劬湍芘袛喑鲆粋€(gè)人的職業(yè)的能力。

A: So he uses observation and his intellect to solve crimes?

所以他是通過(guò)觀察和智慧來(lái)破案?

B: That's right. As he says in one of his films "Elementary, my dear Watson" as he solves another crime.

是的。正如他在一部電影中又破一個(gè)案子之后所說(shuō)的：“再簡(jiǎn)單不過(guò)了，我親愛(ài)的華生。”

A: Are there any other famous sayings by him7

里面還有他說(shuō)過(guò)的其它名言嗎？

B: "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, whatever remains, however improbable. must be the truth. "

“當(dāng)你排除所有的不可能乏后，那么剩下的，不管有多么不可能，肯定就是真相了。”

A: Which ones would you recommend for a newcomer to read?

對(duì)于初次接觸這些書(shū)的人．你會(huì)推薦哪些呢？

B: The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes would be a good place to stan.

一開(kāi)始讀讀《歇洛克·福爾摩斯歷險(xiǎn)記》應(yīng)該會(huì)不錯(cuò)。，

A: He lived in London during the late 19th century?

福爾摩斯生活在19世紀(jì)末的倫敦，對(duì)嗎？

B: His address was 221B Baker Street but that number does not actually exist. There is a bank at number 221 and any letters that you send to 221B will automatically go there as they have created that special address for Sherlock Homes fans all around the world.

他的住址是貝克街22IB號(hào)，實(shí)際上這個(gè)號(hào)牌是不存在的。221號(hào)是家銀行，任何寄到221B的信件都會(huì)自動(dòng)送到銀行那里，因?yàn)樗麄優(yōu)槿澜绲男蹇?middot;福爾摩斯迷們編造了那個(gè)特別的地址。

A: Can you tell me anything interesting about Sherlock Holmes.

給我講講歇洛克·福爾摩斯的趣聞吧。

B: Well he smoked a pipe and wore a deerstalker hat and sometimes took the drug cocaine althoug at that time it was not illegal in England.

哦，他常抽著煙斗，戴一頂獵帽，有時(shí)候吸可卡因，盡管那在當(dāng)時(shí)的英國(guó)并不違法。

A: He sounds like a typical eccentric English gendeman.

聽(tīng)起來(lái)他好像足個(gè)典型的英國(guó)古怪紳士。

B: Someone said that the funniest joke in the world involves him.

有人說(shuō)世界上最滑稽的笑話都跟他有關(guān)。

A: Oh, what was that?

哦，是什么笑話？

B: He was camping in a tent with his friend Dr. Watson. It was late at night and Holmes asked him to look up and tell him what he saw. Watson said, "Well. I see thousands of stars. " "And what does that mean to you?" asked Holmes. "Well, I guess it means we will have another nice day tomorrow. What does it mean to you, Holmes?" "To me. It means someone has stolen our tent. "

福爾摩斯跟他的朋友華生醫(yī)生在一個(gè)帳篷里露宿。夜深，福爾摩斯叫他的朋友朝上看，問(wèn)他都看到了些什么，華生就說(shuō)：“哦，我看到了成千上萬(wàn)顆星星。”“那對(duì)你意味著什么呢？”福爾摩斯問(wèn)道。“哦，我猜這意味著明天我們又有個(gè)好天氣。那對(duì)你又意味著什么呢，福爾摩斯？”“對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，我們的帳篷被人給偷走了。”
