《新福爾摩斯》精講第4期:別讓虛假的偽裝蒙蔽雙眼

Sherlock, two minutes, I said. I need anything you've got.

夏洛克 我說了給你兩分鐘 告訴我你的發(fā)現(xiàn)

Okay, take this down.

好吧 寫下來

Just tell me what you've got.

告訴我就是

I'm not going to write it down.

我不要自己寫

Sherlock!

別鬧了

It's all right, I'll do it.

好吧 我來就是

Thank you.

多謝

The victim is in her early 30s, professional person.

受害人三十出頭 職業(yè)女性

Going by her clothes, I'd guess something in the media,

從她的衣著來看 我猜是傳媒界的

going by the frankly alarming shade of pink.

一身顯眼的粉紅色

She's travelled from Cardiff today,

今天剛從加的夫過來

intending to stay in London for one night,

打算在倫敦住一宿

that's obvious from the size of her suitcase.

看她手提箱的大小就知道了

A suitcase?

手提箱?

A suitcase, yes.

對(duì) 手提箱

She's been married several years, but not happily.

她結(jié)婚好幾年了 但并不幸福

She's had a string of lovers, but none of them knew she was married.

她有一票情人 但沒一個(gè)知道她結(jié)婚了

For God's sake, if you're just making this up.

老天啊 你就編故事吧

Her wedding ring, look at it! It's too tight.

看她的婚戒 太緊了

She was thinner when she first wore it, that says married for a while.

她剛戴的時(shí)候比較瘦 說明結(jié)婚挺久了

Also there's grime in the gem setting.

還有這戒指上面有污垢

But the rest of her jewellery has recently been cleaned,

但她別的首飾都做過定期保養(yǎng)

that tells you everything you need to know about the state of her marriage.

婚姻不幸的證據(jù)就在此

The inside of the ring is shinier than the outside.

戒指的里圈要比外圈光亮許多

That means it's regularly removed.

說明經(jīng)常拿下來

The only polishing it gets is when she works it off her finger,

戒指只有在她取下來時(shí)才會(huì)被磨亮

but it can't be easy, so she must have a reason.

但取下來并不容易 肯定有其理由

It can't be for work, her nails are too long.

看她的長指甲就知道這不是工作所需

She doesn't work with her hands,

她不是做手工活的

so what, or rather who does she remove her ring for?

那她是為了什么或是誰取下戒指的呢

Clearly not one lover,

顯然不止一個(gè)情人

she'd never sustain the fiction of being single over time.

不然這么長時(shí)間 她肯定掩飾不了已婚的身份

So more likely a string of them. Simple.

因此肯定不止一個(gè) 簡單

Brilliant!

厲害

Sorry.

抱歉
