CHAPTER III. THE LAURISTON GARDEN MYSTERY 6 I CONFESS that I was considerably startled by this fresh proof of the practical nature of my companion's theories. O MISTÉRIO DO JARDIM DE LAURISTON 6 Confesso que fiquei bastante assustado com esta nova prova da natureza prática das teorias do meu companheiro. My respect for his powers of analysis increased wondrously. ||||||||Amazingly Mein Respekt vor seiner Analysefähigkeit stieg auf wundersame Weise. There still remained some lurking suspicion in my mind, however, that the whole thing was a pre-arranged episode, intended to dazzle me, though what earthly object he could have in taking me in was past my comprehension. ||||hidden||||||||||||pre-arranged event|||||Impress greatly||||worldly||||||||||||understanding V mé mysli však stále zůstávalo nějaké podezření, že celá věc byla předem domluvená epizoda, která mě měla oslnit, i když to, jaký pozemský předmět mohl mít, když mě přijal, bylo mimo mé chápání. Es blieb jedoch immer noch der lauernde Verdacht in meinem Kopf, dass die ganze Sache eine vorab arrangierte Episode war, die mich blenden sollte, obwohl ich nicht begreifen konnte, was für ein irdisches Ziel er haben könnte, mich aufzunehmen. No entanto, continuava a pairar na minha mente uma suspeita de que tudo aquilo era um episódio previamente planeado, destinado a deslumbrar-me, embora não conseguisse compreender que objetivo terreno ele poderia ter para me enganar. Однако в моем сознании все еще оставалось скрытое подозрение, что все это было заранее подготовленным эпизодом, предназначенным для того, чтобы ослепить меня, хотя какая земная цель, которую он мог иметь, чтобы принять меня, была вне моего понимания. When I looked at him he had finished reading the note, and his eyes had assumed the vacant, lack-lustre expression which showed mental abstraction. ||||||||||||||||||dull or empty|dull shine||||thoughtful distraction|deep thought Als ich ihn ansah, hatte er die Notiz fertig gelesen, und seine Augen hatten den leeren, glanzlosen Ausdruck angenommen, der geistige Zerstreutheit verriet. Quando olhei para ele, tinha acabado de ler a nota e os seus olhos tinham assumido a expressão vazia e sem brilho que demonstra abstração mental. Когда я взглянул на него, он уже закончил читать записку, и его глаза приобрели то пустое, неяркое выражение, которое свидетельствует об умственном абстрагировании.

“How in the world did you deduce that?” I asked. ||||||figure out||| „Wie um alles in der Welt hast du das hergeleitet?“ Ich fragte. «Как, черт возьми, вы пришли к такому выводу?» Я спросил.

“Deduce what?” said he, petulantly. ||||irritably "Deduzir o quê?", disse ele, petulantemente.

“Why, that he was a retired sergeant of Marines.” „Warum, dass er ein pensionierter Sergeant der Marines war.“ «Да ведь он сержант морской пехоты в отставке».

“I have no time for trifles,” he answered, brusquely; then with a smile, “Excuse my rudeness. |||||minor matters|||abruptly|||||||impolite behavior "Ich habe keine Zeit für Kleinigkeiten," antwortete er schroff; dann mit einem Lächeln: „Entschuldigen Sie meine Unhöflichkeit. You broke the thread of my thoughts; but perhaps it is as well. |||train of thought||||||||| Du hast den Faden meiner Gedanken zerrissen; aber vielleicht ist es auch so. Quebrou o fio dos meus pensamentos; mas talvez seja melhor assim. Ты оборвал нить моих мыслей; но, возможно, так оно и есть. So you actually were not able to see that that man was a sergeant of Marines?” Sie konnten also tatsächlich nicht erkennen, dass dieser Mann ein Sergeant der Marines war?«

“No, indeed.” "In der Tat nicht." «Нет, конечно».

“It was easier to know it than to explain why I knew it. „Es war einfacher, es zu wissen, als zu erklären, warum ich es wusste. If you were asked to prove that two and two made four, you might find some difficulty, and yet you are quite sure of the fact. Wenn man Sie bitten würde zu beweisen, dass zwei und zwei vier ergibt, könnten Sie auf einige Schwierigkeiten stoßen, und doch sind Sie sich dessen ziemlich sicher. Если вас попросят доказать, что два и два составляют четыре, вы можете столкнуться с некоторыми трудностями, но тем не менее вы совершенно уверены в этом факте. Even across the street I could see a great blue anchor tattooed on the back of the fellow's hand. ||||||||||nautical symbol tattoo|permanently inked||||||| Sogar auf der anderen Straßenseite konnte ich einen großen blauen Anker sehen, der auf dem Handrücken des Burschen tätowiert war. Mesmo do outro lado da rua, pude ver uma grande âncora azul tatuada nas costas da mão do sujeito. Даже через улицу я увидел большой синий якорь, вытатуированный на тыльной стороне ладони этого парня. That smacked of the sea. |Resembled||| Das hat nach Meer geschmeckt. Isso cheirava a mar. От него пахло морем. He had a military carriage, however, and regulation side whiskers. |||||||||facial hair Er hatte jedoch eine militärische Kutsche und einen vorschriftsmäßigen seitlichen Schnurrbart. No entanto, tinha um porte militar e bigodes laterais regulamentares. Однако у него была военная повозка и нормальные бакенбарды. There we have the marine. Da haben wir die Marine. Aí está o fuzileiro. He was a man with some amount of self-importance and a certain air of command. Er war ein Mann mit einem gewissen Maß an Selbstgefälligkeit und einer gewissen Befehlsgewalt. Era um homem com alguma auto-importância e um certo ar de comando. Это был человек, обладающий определенной долей самодовольства и властности. You must have observed the way in which he held his head and swung his cane. |||||||||||||moved back and forth||walking stick Sie müssen beobachtet haben, wie er seinen Kopf hielt und seinen Stock schwang. Devem ter observado a forma como ele segurava a cabeça e balançava a bengala. Вы, наверное, заметили, как он держал голову и размахивал тростью. A steady, respectable, middle-aged man, too, on the face of him—all facts which led me to believe that he had been a sergeant.” ||||middle-aged|||||||||||||||||||| Dem Anschein nach ein standhafter, respektabler Mann mittleren Alters – alles Tatsachen, die mich glauben ließen, dass er ein Sergeant gewesen war.« Um homem estável, respeitável, de meia-idade, também, na sua aparência - todos os factos que me levaram a acreditar que ele tinha sido um sargento." На вид - крепкий, респектабельный мужчина средних лет - все это дало мне основание предположить, что он был сержантом".

“Wonderful!” I ejaculated. ||exclaimed with enthusiasm "Wunderbar!" Ich habe ejakuliert. "Maravilhoso!", ejaculei.

“Commonplace,” said Holmes, though I thought from his expression that he was pleased at my evident surprise and admiration. Ordinary occurrence|||||||||||||||||| „Gewöhnlich“, sagte Holmes, obwohl ich seinem Gesichtsausdruck entnehmen konnte, dass er sich über meine offensichtliche Überraschung und Bewunderung freute. "Lugar-comum", disse Holmes, embora eu pensasse, pela sua expressão, que ele estava satisfeito com a minha evidente surpresa e admiração. - Обычное дело, - сказал Холмс, хотя по выражению его лица я подумал, что он доволен моим очевидным удивлением и восхищением. “I said just now that there were no criminals. „Ich habe gerade gesagt, dass es keine Kriminellen gibt. "Eu disse há pouco que não havia criminosos. «Я только что сказал, что преступников нет. It appears that I am wrong—look at this!” He threw me over the note which the commissionaire had brought. |||||||||||||||||messenger or attendant|| Es scheint, dass ich falsch liege – sieh dir das an!“ Er warf mir den Zettel zu, den der Kommissar mitgebracht hatte. Похоже, я ошибаюсь - посмотрите!" Он бросил мне записку, которую принес комиссионер. 7 “Why,” I cried, as I cast my eye over it, “this is terrible!” 7 „Warum“, rief ich, als ich meinen Blick darauf richtete, „das ist schrecklich!“ 7 «Да ведь, - воскликнул я, глядя на это, - это ужасно!» “It does seem to be a little out of the common,” he remarked, calmly. „Es scheint ein wenig ungewöhnlich zu sein“, bemerkte er ruhig. "Кажется, это немного нестандартно, - спокойно заметил он. “Would you mind reading it to me aloud?” „Würden Sie es mir bitte laut vorlesen?“

This is the letter which I read to him—— Das ist der Brief, den ich ihm vorgelesen habe –

“MY DEAR MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES,—

“There has been a bad business during the night at 3, Lauriston Gardens, off the Brixton Road. Our man on the beat saw a light there about two in the morning, and as the house was an empty one, suspected that something was amiss. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||wrong or unusual Наш человек на битве увидел там свет около двух часов ночи и, поскольку дом был пуст, заподозрил неладное.

“Gregson is the smartest of the Scotland Yarders,” my friend remarked; “he and Lestrade are the pick of a bad lot. |||most intelligent||||Scotland Yard detectives||||||||||||| „Gregson ist der klügste der Scotland Yarders“, bemerkte mein Freund; „Er und Lestrade sind die beste Wahl. "Gregson est le plus intelligent des Scotland Yarders", remarque mon ami ; "Lestrade et lui sont les meilleurs éléments d'un mauvais lot. "Gregson é o mais inteligente dos Scotland Yarders", observou o meu amigo; "ele e Lestrade são os melhores de um lote mau. «Грегсон - самый умный из Скотланд Ярдерс», - заметил мой друг; «Он и Лестрейд - плохая выборка. They are both quick and energetic, but conventional—shockingly so. ||||||||surprisingly conventional| Sie sind sowohl schnell als auch energisch, aber konventionell – erschreckenderweise. Ils sont à la fois rapides et énergiques, mais conventionnels et choquants. Они оба быстры и энергичны, но обычны - шокирующе. They have their knives into one another, too. |||hostility or conflict|||| Sie haben ihre Messer auch ineinander. Ils se lancent aussi des coups de couteau les uns dans les autres. Também têm as suas facas uma na outra. Они тоже вонзили друг в друга свои ножи. They are as jealous as a pair of professional beauties. Sie sind so eifersüchtig wie ein Paar professioneller Schönheiten. Elles sont aussi jalouses qu'une paire de beautés professionnelles. São tão invejosos como um par de beldades profissionais. There will be some fun over this case if they are both put upon the scent.” ||||amusement or excitement||||||||||| Es wird ein bisschen Spaß über diesen Fall geben, wenn sie beide auf die Spur kommen.“ Il y aura de quoi s'amuser dans cette affaire s'ils sont tous les deux mis à l'index". Будет немного весело, если они оба почувствуют запах ».

I was amazed at the calm way in which he rippled on. ||astonished||||||||continued smoothly| Ich war erstaunt über die ruhige Art, in der er weiterspielte. Fiquei espantado com a forma calma com que ele continuou a trabalhar. Я был поражен его спокойствием. “Surely there is not a moment to be lost,” I cried, “shall I go and order you a cab?” ||||||||||||||||||taxi „Sicher ist kein Augenblick zu verlieren“, rief ich, „soll ich gehen und Ihnen ein Taxi bestellen?“

“I'm not sure about whether I shall go. „Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich gehen soll. I am the most incurably lazy devil that ever stood in shoe leather—that is, when the fit is on me, for I can be spry enough at times.” ||||hopelessly|||||||||||||||||||||energetic||| Ich bin der unheilbar faulste Teufel, der jemals in Schuhleder gestanden hat – das heißt, wenn es auf mich ankommt, denn ich kann manchmal rüstig genug sein.“ Soy el demonio más incurablemente perezoso que jamás haya pisado un zapato de cuero, es decir, cuando me queda bien, porque a veces puedo ser bastante ágil." Je suis le diable le plus incurablement paresseux qui ait jamais porté des chaussures en cuir - c'est-à-dire quand elles sont à ma taille, car il m'arrive d'être assez vif". Sou o diabo mais incuravelmente preguiçoso que alguma vez pisou uma pele de sapato - isto é, quando me serve, porque às vezes posso ser bastante ágil". Я самый неизлечимо ленивый дьявол, который когда-либо стоял в обувной коже, то есть когда мне подходит, потому что временами я могу быть достаточно проворным ».

“Why, it is just such a chance as you have been longing for.” |||||||||||yearning for| "Nun, es ist genau die Chance, nach der Sie sich gesehnt haben." "Ora, é exatamente a oportunidade que tanto desejava."

“But he begs you to help him.” ||pleads with you|||| „Aber er bittet dich, ihm zu helfen.“

“Yes.

Он знает, что я его начальник, и признает это мне; но он бы отрезал себе язык, прежде чем он признался бы третьему лицу. However, we may as well go and have a look.

He hustled on his overcoat, and bustled about in a way that showed that an energetic fit had superseded the apathetic one. |put on quickly|||heavy outer coat||moved energetically|||||||||full of energy|||replaced||indifferent or unfeeling| Er huschte über seinen Mantel und huschte in einer Weise herum, die zeigte, dass ein energischer Anfall den apathischen abgelöst hatte. Он торопливо натягивал пальто и суетился, показывая, что энергичный припадок вытеснил апатичный.

“Get your hat,” he said. „Nimm deinen Hut“, sagte er.

“You wish me to come?” „Du willst, dass ich komme?“

“Yes, if you have nothing better to do.” A minute later we were both in a hansom, driving furiously for the Brixton Road. ||||||||||||||||horse-drawn cab||at high speed|||| „Ja, wenn du nichts Besseres zu tun hast.“ Eine Minute später saßen wir beide in einem Hansom und fuhren wie wild auf die Brixton Road zu.

It was a foggy, cloudy morning, and a dun-coloured veil hung over the house-tops, looking like the reflection of the mud-coloured streets beneath. |||misty|overcast||||Dull brown|dull-colored|thin covering|||||||||||||||below the rooftops Es war ein nebliger, bewölkter Morgen, und ein graubrauner Schleier hing über den Dächern der Häuser und sah aus wie das Spiegelbild der schlammfarbenen Straßen darunter. Era uma manhã de nevoeiro, nublada, e um véu de cor escura pairava sobre os telhados das casas, parecendo o reflexo das ruas cor de lama que se encontravam por baixo. My companion was in the best of spirits, and prattled away about Cremona fiddles, and the difference between a Stradivarius and an Amati. |||||||||chattered on||||||||||||| Mein Begleiter war bester Laune und schwatzte über Cremona-Geigen und den Unterschied zwischen einer Stradivarius und einer Amati. Мой товарищ был в отличном расположении духа и болтал о скрипках Кремоны и о разнице между Страдивари и Амати. As for myself, I was silent, for the dull weather and the melancholy business upon which we were engaged, depressed my spirits. |||||||the|gloomy||||sorrowful mood|task at hand|||||involved in||| Was mich betrifft, so schwieg ich, denn das trübe Wetter und die traurigen Geschäfte, mit denen wir beschäftigt waren, bedrückten meine Stimmung.

“You don't seem to give much thought to the matter in hand,” I said at last, interrupting Holmes' musical disquisition. ||||||||||||||||||musical analysis|Detailed discussion „Sie scheinen sich nicht viel Gedanken über die vorliegende Angelegenheit zu machen“, sagte ich schließlich und unterbrach Holmes' musikalische Auseinandersetzung.

“No data yet,” he answered. „Noch keine Daten“, antwortete er. «Данных пока нет», - ответил он. “It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. ||||||speculate|||||| „Es ist ein großer Fehler, Theorien aufzustellen, bevor man alle Beweise hat.

“You will have your data soon,” I remarked, pointing with my finger; “this is the Brixton Road, and that is the house, if I am not very much mistaken.” ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||incorrect „Sie werden Ihre Daten bald haben“, bemerkte ich und deutete mit meinem Finger; "Dies ist die Brixton Road, und das ist das Haus, wenn ich mich nicht sehr irre."

“So it is. "So ist es.

Number 3, Lauriston Gardens wore an ill-omened and minatory look. ||||||foreboding||threatening| Nummer 3, Lauriston Gardens, trug einen unheilvollen und geistlichen Blick. O número 3, Lauriston Gardens, apresentava um aspeto mal-humorado e minatório. It was one of four which stood back some little way from the street, two being occupied and two empty. Es war eines von vieren, die etwas abseits von der Straße standen, zwei bewohnt und zwei leer. Era uma das quatro que se encontravam a alguma distância da rua, estando duas ocupadas e duas vazias. Это был один из четырех домов, стоявших в стороне от улицы, два из которых были заняты, а два - пустыми. İkisi dolu, ikisi boş olmak üzere caddeden biraz geride duran dört evden biriydi. The latter looked out with three tiers of vacant melancholy windows, which were blank and dreary, save that here and there a “To Let” card had developed like a cataract upon the bleared panes. |The second|||||levels||empty|Sadness||||||Gloomy|||||||||sign for rent||||||||blurred or foggy|window glass Letztere sahen mit drei Reihen leerer melancholischer Fenster hinaus, die leer und trostlos waren, abgesehen davon, dass sich hier und da eine „Zu vermieten“-Karte wie ein Katarakt auf den verblassten Scheiben entwickelt hatte. Esta última tinha três níveis de janelas vazias e melancólicas, vazias e sombrias, com a exceção de que, aqui e ali, um cartão de "Para Alugar" se tinha desenvolvido como uma catarata sobre os vidros descoloridos. Последний смотрел на три яруса пустых меланхоличных окон, которые были пустыми и унылыми, за исключением того, что кое-где карточка «Сдать» образовывалась катарактой на затуманенных стеклах. İkincisi, üç katlı boş ve melankolik pencerelerden dışarı bakıyordu; bu pencereler boş ve kasvetliydi, sadece şurada burada bir "Kiraya Verilir" kartı beyaz camların üzerinde bir katarakt gibi gelişmişti. A small garden sprinkled over with a scattered eruption of sickly plants separated each of these houses from the street, and was traversed by a narrow pathway, yellowish in colour, and consisting apparently of a mixture of clay and of gravel. |||dotted with|||||scattered growth||||divided from|||||||||existed|crossed by||||narrow trail|pale yellow||||made up of|||||||||small stones Ein kleiner Garten, der mit einem verstreuten Ausbruch kränklicher Pflanzen übersät war, trennte jedes dieser Häuser von der Straße und wurde von einem schmalen, gelblichen Pfad durchquert, der anscheinend aus einer Mischung von Lehm und Kies bestand. Um pequeno jardim salpicado por uma erupção dispersa de plantas doentias separava cada uma destas casas da rua, e era atravessado por um caminho estreito, de cor amarelada, e constituído aparentemente por uma mistura de barro e cascalho. Небольшой сад, засыпанный редкими извержениями болезненных растений, отделял каждый из этих домов от улицы, и через него проходила узкая дорожка желтоватого цвета, состоящая, по-видимому, из смеси глины и гравия. The whole place was very sloppy from the rain which had fallen through the night. |||||muddy and wet||||||||| Der ganze Ort war sehr schlampig von dem Regen, der die Nacht über gefallen war. The garden was bounded by a three-foot brick wall with a fringe of wood rails upon the top, and against this wall was leaning a stalwart police constable, surrounded by a small knot of loafers, who craned their necks and strained their eyes in the vain hope of catching some glimpse of the proceedings within. |||||||Three feet high|masonry block||||border of wood|||wooden bars|||||||||||strong and sturdy||police officer|encircled by onlookers||||||idle onlookers||stretched their necks||stretched their necks||Exerted effort|||||unsuccessful||||||||ongoing activities| Der Garten war von einer drei Fuß hohen Backsteinmauer begrenzt, auf deren Spitze sich ein Rand aus Holzgeländern befand, und an dieser Mauer lehnte ein stämmiger Polizeibeamter, umgeben von einer kleinen Gruppe von Müßiggängern, die ihre Hälse reckten und ihre Augen angestrengt in die Luft starrten vergebliche Hoffnung, einen Einblick in die Vorgänge darin zu erhaschen. O jardim era delimitado por um muro de tijolo de três pés com uma franja de madeira no topo, e contra este muro estava encostado um robusto agente da polícia, rodeado por um pequeno grupo de mocassins, que esticavam o pescoço e os olhos na vã esperança de vislumbrar os procedimentos no interior. Bahçe, tepesinde tahta korkuluklar bulunan üç metrelik tuğla bir duvarla sınırlıydı ve bu duvara yaslanmış yiğit bir polis memuru, etrafını sarmış, içeride olup bitenleri bir an olsun görebilmek umuduyla boyunlarını büken ve gözlerini diken küçük bir aylak grubuyla çevriliydi.

I had imagined that Sherlock Holmes would at once have hurried into the house and plunged into a study of the mystery. |||||||||||||||dove deeply|||||| Ich hatte mir vorgestellt, dass Sherlock Holmes sofort ins Haus geeilt wäre und sich in das Studium des Mysteriums gestürzt hätte. Nothing appeared to be further from his intention. Nichts schien weiter von seiner Absicht entfernt zu sein. With an air of nonchalance which, under the circumstances, seemed to me to border upon affectation, he lounged up and down the pavement, and gazed vacantly at the ground, the sky, the opposite houses and the line of railings. ||||casual indifference|||||||||||artificial behavior||strolled casually|||||sidewalk|||without focus|||||||||||||fence-like barriers Mit einer Lässigkeit, die mir unter diesen Umständen an Affektiertheit zu grenzen schien, lümmelte er auf dem Bürgersteig auf und ab und blickte mit leerem Blick auf den Boden, den Himmel, die gegenüberliegenden Häuser und die Reihe der Geländer. Com um ar de despreocupação que, dadas as circunstâncias, me pareceu beirar a afetação, ele passeava de um lado para o outro do passeio e olhava vagamente para o chão, para o céu, para as casas em frente e para a linha de grades. Bu koşullar altında bana yapmacıklığın sınırında gibi gelen bir kayıtsızlık havasıyla kaldırımda bir aşağı bir yukarı uzandı ve boş gözlerle yere, gökyüzüne, karşıdaki evlere ve parmaklıklara baktı. Having finished his scrutiny, he proceeded slowly down the path, or rather down the fringe of grass which flanked the path, keeping his eyes riveted upon the ground. |||careful examination|||||||||||||||||||||intently focused on||| Nachdem er seine Untersuchung beendet hatte, ging er langsam den Pfad hinunter, oder vielmehr den Grassaum entlang, der den Pfad flankierte, und hielt seine Augen fest auf den Boden gerichtet. Twice he stopped, and once I saw him smile, and heard him utter an exclamation of satisfaction. ||||||||||||say out loud||joyful outburst|| Zweimal blieb er stehen, und einmal sah ich ihn lächeln und hörte ihn einen zufriedenen Ausruf ausstoßen. İki kez durdu, bir keresinde gülümsediğini gördüm ve bir memnuniyet nidası attığını duydum. There were many marks of footsteps upon the wet clayey soil, but since the police had been coming and going over it, I was unable to see how my companion could hope to learn anything from it. |||||||||clay-like||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Es gab viele Spuren von Schritten auf dem nassen Lehmboden, aber da die Polizei dort hin und her gegangen war, konnte ich nicht sehen, wie mein Begleiter darauf hoffen konnte, irgendetwas daraus zu lernen.

Still I had had such extraordinary evidence of the quickness of his perceptive faculties, that I had no doubt that he could see a great deal which was hidden from me. |||||||||keen insight|||keenly observant||||||||||||||||||

At the door of the house we were met by a tall, white-faced, flaxen-haired man, with a notebook in his hand, who rushed forward and wrung my companion's hand with effusion. ||||||||||||||Pale yellow|||||journal|||||hurriedly moved|||gripped tightly|||||great enthusiasm Evin kapısında bizi uzun boylu, beyaz yüzlü, keten saçlı, elinde bir not defteri olan bir adam karşıladı ve hemen öne atılarak arkadaşımın elini coşkuyla sıktı. “It is indeed kind of you to come,” he said, “I have had everything left untouched.” |||||||||||||||not altered

“Except that!” my friend answered, pointing at the pathway. “If a herd of buffaloes had passed along there could not be a greater mess. ||||large animals||||||||||chaotic situation "Eğer bir bufalo sürüsü geçseydi, daha büyük bir karmaşa olamazdı. No doubt, however, you had drawn your own conclusions, Gregson, before you permitted this.”

“I have had so much to do inside the house,” the detective said evasively. Dedektif kaçamak bir ifadeyle, "Evin içinde yapacak çok işim vardı," dedi. “My colleague, Mr. Lestrade, is here. I had relied upon him to look after this.” ||depended on||||||

Holmes glanced at me and raised his eyebrows sardonically. |||||||arched brows|mockingly or cynically “With two such men as yourself and Lestrade upon the ground, there will not be much for a third party to find out,” he said. «С двумя такими людьми, как вы и Лестрейд, на земле, третьему лицу нечего будет узнать», - сказал он. "Siz ve Lestrade gibi iki adam sahadayken, üçüncü bir tarafın öğreneceği pek bir şey olmayacaktır," dedi.

Gregson rubbed his hands in a self-satisfied way. |frictioned||||||| “I think we have done all that can be done,” he answered; “it's a queer case though, and I knew your taste for such things.”

“You did not come here in a cab?” asked Sherlock Holmes.

“No, sir.”

“Nor Lestrade?”

“No, sir.”

“Then let us go and look at the room.” With which inconsequent remark he strode on into the house, followed by Gregson, whose features expressed his astonishment. ||||||||||||||walked confidently|||||||||||| "Com esta observação inconsequente, entrou na casa, seguido por Gregson, cujas feições exprimiam o seu espanto.

A short passage, bare planked and dusty, led to the kitchen and offices. ||||wooden floored|||||||| Çıplak tahtalı ve tozlu kısa bir geçit mutfağa ve çalışma odalarına açılıyordu. Two doors opened out of it to the left and to the right. Sağa ve sola doğru iki kapı açılıyordu. One of these had obviously been closed for many weeks. The other belonged to the dining-room, which was the apartment in which the mysterious affair had occurred. |||||eating area|||||||||||| Holmes walked in, and I followed him with that subdued feeling at my heart which the presence of death inspires. |||||||||muted, restrained, somber||||||||||evokes Holmes içeri girdi ve ben de ölümün varlığının kalbimde uyandırdığı o bastırılmış duyguyla onu takip ettim.

It was a large square room, looking all the larger from the absence of all furniture. A vulgar flaring paper adorned the walls, but it was blotched in places with mildew, and here and there great strips had become detached and hung down, exposing the yellow plaster beneath. ||gaudy or bright||decorated||||||stained||||Fungal growth||||||long pieces|||come loose|||||||| As paredes eram decoradas com um papel vulgar e flamejante, mas estava manchado de bolor e, aqui e ali, grandes tiras tinham-se soltado e pendiam, expondo o reboco amarelo por baixo.

All these details I observed afterwards. At present my attention was centred upon the single grim motionless figure which lay stretched upon the boards, with vacant sightless eyes staring up at the discoloured ceiling. |||||focused on|||||still||||laid out|||wooden floorboards||empty, unseeing|without vision||||||stained|upper interior surface De momento, a minha atenção estava centrada na única figura sombria e imóvel que jazia estendida sobre as tábuas, com os olhos vagos e sem visão a olhar para o teto descolorido.

Elleri kenetlenmiş ve kolları iki yana açılmıştı; alt uzuvları ise sanki ölüm mücadelesi çok çetin geçmiş gibi birbirine kenetlenmişti. On his rigid face there stood an expression of horror, and as it seemed to me, of hatred, such as I have never seen upon human features. ||unmoving||||||||||||||||||||||||facial characteristics Sert yüzünde, insan yüz hatlarında daha önce hiç görmediğim bir dehşet ve bana öyle geldi ki nefret ifadesi vardı. This malignant and terrible contortion, combined with the low forehead, blunt nose, and prognathous jaw gave the dead man a singularly simious and ape-like appearance, which was increased by his writhing, unnatural posture. |Harmful and severe|||Distorted expression||||||flat or rounded|||Protruding forward|||||||uniquely|ape-like||ape-like||||||||twisting in pain||body position Esta contorção maligna e terrível, combinada com a testa baixa, o nariz rombudo e o maxilar prognata, dava ao morto um aspeto singularmente símio e símio, que era aumentado pela sua postura contorcida e antinatural.

Lestrade, lean and ferret-like as ever, was standing by the doorway, and greeted my companion and myself. |||sly and alert||||||||||welcomed||||

“There is no clue?” said Gregson. "Нет подсказки?" - сказал Грегсон.

“No, sir.”

“Read it up—you really should. There is nothing new under the sun. It has all been done before.”

As he spoke, his nimble fingers were flying here, there, and everywhere, feeling, pressing, unbuttoning, examining, while his eyes wore the same far-away expression which I have already remarked upon. ||||quick and agile||||||||||undoing buttons|inspecting||||||||||||||| So swiftly was the examination made, that one would hardly have guessed the minuteness with which it was conducted. |very quickly||||||||||||thoroughness|||||carried out Обследование было проведено так быстро, что трудно было догадаться, с какой тщательностью оно было проведено.

“He has not been moved at all?” he asked.

Sherlock Holmes chuckled to himself, and appeared to be about to make some remark, when Lestrade, who had been in the front room while we were holding this conversation in the hall, reappeared upon the scene, rubbing his hands in a pompous and self-satisfied manner. ||laughed quietly||||||||||||||||||||||||||exchange of words|||entryway|came back|||situation||||||self-important|||| Sherlock Holmes kendi kendine kıkırdadı ve bir $eyler söyleyecek gibiydi ki, biz salonda bu konu$mayı yaparken ön odada bulunan Lestrade, kendini beğenmi$ bir tavırla ellerini ovu$turarak yeniden sahneye çıktı.

“Mr. Gregson,” he said, “I have just made a discovery of the highest importance, and one which would have been overlooked had I not made a careful examination of the walls.” Грегсон, - сказал он, - я только что сделал чрезвычайно важное открытие, которое было бы упущено из виду, если бы я не внимательно осмотрел стены. Gregson," dedi, "az önce çok önemli bir keşifte bulundum ve duvarları dikkatle incelememiş olsaydım gözden kaçacaktı."

The little man's eyes sparkled as he spoke, and he was evidently in a state of suppressed exultation at having scored a point against his colleague. |||||||||||clearly|||||held back|Joyful triumph||||||||

“Come here,” he said, bustling back into the room, the atmosphere of which felt clearer since the removal of its ghastly inmate. ||||hurrying||||||overall mood||||||||||horrible| "Vem cá", disse ele, voltando a entrar na sala, cuja atmosfera parecia mais clara desde a remoção da sua horrenda companheira. «Иди сюда», - сказал он, суетливо возвращаясь в комнату, атмосфера которой стала более ясной после того, как из нее удалили ужасного сокамерника. “Now, stand there!”

He struck a match on his boot and held it up against the wall. Udeřil sirkou na botu a přiložil ji ke zdi. Acendeu um fósforo na bota e encostou-o à parede.

“Look at that!” he said, triumphantly. |||||with great pride

I have remarked that the paper had fallen away in parts.

“And what does it mean now that you have found it?” asked Gregson in a depreciatory voice. |||||||||||||||disparaging| "И что это значит теперь, когда вы его нашли?" - пренебрежительно спросил Грегсон.

“Mean?

“I really beg your pardon!” said my companion, who had ruffled the little man's temper by bursting into an explosion of laughter. ||||excuse me||||||irritated||||||suddenly laughing loudly|||fit of laughter|| «Я очень прошу прощения!» - сказал мой товарищ, взбесивший маленького человечка взрывом смеха. “You certainly have the credit of being the first of us to find this out, and, as you say, it bears every mark of having been written by the other participant in last night's mystery. ||||||||||||||||||||carries||||||||||other person involved|||previous night's| "O senhor tem certamente o mérito de ter sido o primeiro de nós a descobrir isto e, como diz, tem todas as marcas de ter sido escrito pelo outro participante no mistério de ontem à noite. «Вы, безусловно, имеете честь быть первым из нас, кто это выяснил, и, как вы говорите, на нем есть все признаки того, что он был написан другим участником тайны прошлой ночи.

For twenty minutes or more he continued his researches, measuring with the most exact care the distance between marks which were entirely invisible to me, and occasionally applying his tape to the walls in an equally incomprehensible manner. ||||||||investigations|||||||||||||completely unseen|||||||||||||||hard to understand| In one place he gathered up very carefully a little pile of grey dust from the floor, and packed it away in an envelope. ||||||||||||||||||sealed tightly|||||paper container Finally, he examined with his glass the word upon the wall, going over every letter of it with the most minute exactness. |||||||||||||||||||||Utmost precision This done, he appeared to be satisfied, for he replaced his tape and his glass in his pocket.

“What do you think of it, sir?” they both asked.

“It would be robbing you of the credit of the case if I was to presume to help you,” remarked my friend. |||taking away||||||||||||assume without proof|||||| «Это лишило бы вас авторитета в этом деле, если бы я решился помочь вам», - заметил мой друг. “You are doing so well now that it would be a pity for anyone to interfere.” There was a world of sarcasm in his voice as he spoke. ||performing|||||||||||||||||||Mocking praise|||||| «У вас сейчас так хорошо получается, что было бы жаль, если бы кто-нибудь вмешался».

Lestrade glanced at his note-book. “John Rance,” he said. “He is off duty now. You will find him at 46, Audley Court, Kennington Park Gate.”

Holmes took a note of the address.

“Come along, Doctor,” he said; “we shall go and look him up. I'll tell you one thing which may help you in the case,” he continued, turning to the two detectives. “There has been murder done, and the murderer was a man.
