- Narrator 在贝克街，莫蒂默拿起那张报纸。这是德文郡的报纸，日期是五月十四日。
Zài Bèikè Jiē, Mòdìmò náqǐ nà zhāng bàozhǐ. Zhè shì Déwén Jùn de bàozhǐ, rìqī shì wǔyuè shísì rì.
In Baker Street, Mortimer picked up the newspaper. It was a Devon paper, dated May 14.
- Sherlock Holmes 请读吧。只读事实，不要猎犬，也不要魔鬼。
Qǐng dú ba. Zhǐ dú shìshí, bú yào lièquǎn, yě bú yào móguǐ.
Read it, please. Just the facts. No hounds, and no devils.
- Dr. Mortimer 五月四日晚上，巴斯克维尔庄园的查尔斯爵士突然去世了。
Wǔyuè sì rì wǎnshang, Bāsīkèwéi'ěr Zhuāngyuán de Chá'ěrsī Juéshì tūrán qùshì le.
On the night of May 4, Sir Charles of Baskerville Hall died suddenly.
- Dr. Mortimer 查尔斯爵士很有钱，对大家都很好。可是他的心脏一直不太好。
Chá'ěrsī Juéshì hěn yǒu qián, duì dàjiā dōu hěn hǎo. Kěshì tā de xīnzàng yìzhí bú tài hǎo.
Sir Charles was rich, and kind to everyone. But his heart had long been weak.
- Dr. Mortimer 他是一个很好的人。我很想他。
Tā shì yí gè hěn hǎo de rén. Wǒ hěn xiǎng tā.
He was a very good man. I miss him.
- Dr. Mortimer 他每天晚上都点一支雪茄，去庄园后面的紫杉小路散步。
Tā měi tiān wǎnshang dōu diǎn yì zhī xuějiā, qù zhuāngyuán hòumiàn de zǐshān xiǎolù sànbù.
Every night he would light a cigar and walk along the yew alley behind the house.
- Dr. Watson 紫杉小路？是什么样的地方？
Zǐshān xiǎolù? Shì shénme yàng de dìfang?
The yew alley? What sort of place is that?
- Dr. Mortimer 一条很长的小路，左边和右边都是很高的紫杉树，像两面绿色的墙。
Yì tiáo hěn cháng de xiǎolù, zuǒbiān hé yòubiān dōu shì hěn gāo de zǐshān shù, xiàng liǎng miàn lǜsè de qiáng.
A long path with tall yew trees on both sides, like two green walls.
- Dr. Mortimer 走到小路的一半，旁边有一个小门。门外面，就是荒原。
Zǒudào xiǎolù de yíbàn, pángbiān yǒu yí gè xiǎo mén. Mén wàimiàn, jiù shì huāngyuán.
Halfway down the path, there's a little gate at one side. Beyond the gate lies the moor.
- Dr. Mortimer 五月四日，他说第二天要去伦敦。那天晚上他出去散步，就没有再回来。
Wǔyuè sì rì, tā shuō dì èr tiān yào qù Lúndūn. Nà tiān wǎnshang tā chūqù sànbù, jiù méiyǒu zài huílái.
On May 4, he said he would go to London the next day. That night he went out for his walk, and he never came back.
- Dr. Mortimer 十二点，管家巴里摩尔拿着灯出去找他。
Shí'èr diǎn, guǎnjiā Bālǐmó'ěr názhe dēng chūqù zhǎo tā.
At midnight, the butler, Barrymore, took a lamp and went out to look for him.
- Dr. Mortimer 在紫杉小路的那一头，巴里摩尔找到了查尔斯爵士。他已经死了。
Zài zǐshān xiǎolù de nà yì tóu, Bālǐmó'ěr zhǎo dào le Chá'ěrsī Juéshì. Tā yǐjīng sǐ le.
At the far end of the yew alley, Barrymore found Sir Charles. He was dead.
- Dr. Watson 他受伤了吗？
Tā shòushāng le ma?
Was he hurt?
- Dr. Mortimer 没有。他身上一点伤也没有。可是他的脸……
Méiyǒu. Tā shēnshang yìdiǎn shāng yě méiyǒu. Kěshì tā de liǎn…
No. There wasn't a mark on him. But his face...
- Dr. Mortimer 他的脸变得非常可怕。我是他的医生，可是我差点儿没认出他。
Tā de liǎn biàn de fēicháng kěpà. Wǒ shì tā de yīshēng, kěshì wǒ chàdiǎnr méi rènchū tā.
His face was so twisted and terrible that I, his own doctor, hardly knew him.
- Dr. Mortimer 医生们说，他是因为心脏不好才死的。
Yīshēngmen shuō, tā shì yīnwèi xīnzàng bù hǎo cái sǐ de.
The doctors said he died because of his weak heart.
- Dr. Mortimer 巴里摩尔还说，查尔斯爵士身边的地上，什么也没有。
Bālǐmó'ěr hái shuō, Chá'ěrsī Juéshì shēnbiān de dìshang, shénme yě méiyǒu.
Barrymore also said there was nothing on the ground near Sir Charles's body.
- Dr. Mortimer 可是有一件事很奇怪。过了那个小门以后，他的脚印就变了。
Kěshì yǒu yí jiàn shì hěn qíguài. Guò le nàge xiǎo mén yǐhòu, tā de jiǎoyìn jiù biàn le.
But one thing was strange. After he passed the little gate, his footprints changed.
- Dr. Watson 变了？怎么变了？
Biàn le? Zěnme biàn le?
Changed? How?
- Dr. Mortimer 他的脚印只有前面一半，好像他是用脚尖走路的。
Tā de jiǎoyìn zhǐyǒu qiánmiàn yíbàn, hǎoxiàng tā shì yòng jiǎojiān zǒulù de.
His footprints showed only the front half, as if he had been walking on his toes.
- Sherlock Holmes 用脚尖走路？有意思。华生，记住这个线索。
Yòng jiǎojiān zǒulù? Yǒu yìsi. Huáshēng, jìzhù zhège xiànsuǒ.
Walking on his toes? Interesting. Watson, remember that clue.
- Dr. Mortimer 查尔斯爵士没有孩子。继承庄园的，是他弟弟的儿子，亨利·巴斯克维尔。
Chá'ěrsī Juéshì méiyǒu háizi. Jìchéng zhuāngyuán de, shì tā dìdi de érzi, Hēnglì Bāsīkèwéi'ěr.
Sir Charles had no children. The heir to the estate is his younger brother's son, Henry Baskerville.
- Dr. Mortimer 听说他在加拿大种地，大家正在找他。
Tīngshuō tā zài Jiānádà zhòngdì, dàjiā zhèngzài zhǎo tā.
He is said to be farming in Canada, and people are trying to find him.
- Sherlock Holmes 五月的时候，我也看到过一点。可是那时候我太忙了。
Wǔyuè de shíhou, wǒ yě kàndàoguo yìdiǎn. Kěshì nà shíhou wǒ tài máng le.
I saw a little about this in May. But I was far too busy at the time.
- Dr. Watson 是啊，你说：“德文郡的事，我没时间看。”
Shì a, nǐ shuō: “Déwén Jùn de shì, wǒ méi shíjiān kàn.”
Yes, you said, “Devon business? I haven't got time for it.”
- Sherlock Holmes 好了。报纸上的，我都听到了。现在请告诉我，报纸上没写的事。
Hǎo le. Bàozhǐ shang de, wǒ dōu tīngdào le. Xiànzài qǐng gàosu wǒ, bàozhǐ shang méi xiě de shì.
That's enough. I've heard what's in the paper. Now tell me what the paper left out.
- Narrator 莫蒂默放下报纸，看了一眼门口。
Mòdìmò fàngxià bàozhǐ, kàn le yì yǎn ménkǒu.
Mortimer put down the newspaper and glanced at the door.
- Dr. Mortimer 福尔摩斯先生，那些事……我谁也没有告诉过。
Fú'ěrmósī xiānsheng, nàxiē shì… wǒ shéi yě méiyǒu gàosuguo.
Mr. Holmes, those things... I have told no one.
