1上帝保佑我们!为什么命运老是对贫困穷苦而又孤立无援的芸芸众生那么恶作剧呢?我每当听到这一类的案件时,我都想起巴克斯特的话,并说,‘歇洛克·福尔摩斯之所以能破案还是靠上帝保佑.’.——《博斯科姆比溪谷秘案》
God help us. Why does fate play such tricks with poor, helpless worms? I never hear of such a case as this that I do not think of Baxter's words, and say, 'There, but for the grace of God, goes Sherlock Holmes.'.—— The Boscombe Valley Mystery
2我们追求,我们想抓住.可最后我们手中剩下什么东西呢?一个幻影,或者比幻影更糟——痛苦.——《退休的颜料商》
We reach. We grasp. And what is left in our hands at the end? A shadow. Or worse than a shadow — misery.—— The Retired Colorman
3那是灯塔, 我的伙计!未来的灯塔!每一座灯塔里都装满千百颗光辉灿烂的小种子,将来英国在他们这一代将更加明智富强.——《海军协定》
Light-houses, my boy! Beacons of the future! Capsules with hundreds of bright little seeds in each, out of which will spring the wise, better England of the future.—— The Naval Treaty3我不同意有些人把谦虚列为美德.对逻辑学家来说,一切事物应当是什么样就是什么样,对自己估价过低和夸大自己的才能一样都是违背真理的.——《希腊译员》
I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one`s self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one`s own powers.—— The Greek Interpreter4上帝只造你成为一个人形,原来是体面其表,流氓其质.——《四签名》,歌德的话
Schade dass die Natur nur EINEN Mensch aus Dir schuf, Denn zum wuerdigen Mann war und zum Schelmen der Stoff.——The Sign of Four, lines of old Goethe5一个人要是想超过自然,他就会堕落到自然以下.最高等的人,一旦脱离了人类命运的康庄大道,就会变成动物.——《爬行人》
When one tries to rise above Nature one is liable to fall below it. The highest type of man may revert to the animal if he leaves the straight road of destiny. ——The Creeping Man |
