- Beryl 我不是他的妹妹，是他的太太。他打我，还把我绑在这儿。
Wǒ bú shì tā de mèimei, shì tā de tàitai. Tā dǎ wǒ, hái bǎ wǒ bǎng zài zhèr.
I'm not his sister. I'm his wife. He beat me, and he tied me up here.
- Inspector Lestrade 他跑到哪儿去了？
Tā pǎo dào nǎr qù le?
Where's he run to?
- Beryl 沼泽中间的小山上。他把猎犬关在那儿。那条路，我知道。我带你们去！
Zhǎozé zhōngjiān de xiǎo shān shang. Tā bǎ lièquǎn guān zài nàr. Nà tiáo lù, wǒ zhīdào. Wǒ dài nǐmen qù!
The little hill in the middle of the mire. He kept the hound there. I know the path. I'll take you!
- Narrator 天亮了，雾没有了。贝丽尔带他们走进了沼泽。
Tiān liàng le, wù méiyǒu le. Bèilì'ěr dài tāmen zǒu jìn le zhǎozé.
Dawn came, and the fog was gone. Beryl led them into the mire.
- Dr. Watson 那儿有一只靴子……是亨利爵士的旧靴子！
Nàr yǒu yì zhī xuēzi… shì Hēnglì Juéshì de jiù xuēzi!
There's a boot... It's Sir Henry's old boot!
- Inspector Lestrade 脚印到这儿就没有了！
Jiǎoyìn dào zhèr jiù méiyǒu le!
The footprints stop right here!
- Sherlock Holmes 沼泽带走了他。
Zhǎozé dàizǒu le tā.
The mire has taken him.
- Dr. Watson 小山上有一只死去的狗，不大也不小……是莫蒂默的狗！
Xiǎo shān shang yǒu yì zhī sǐqù de gǒu, bú dà yě bù xiǎo… shì Mòdìmò de gǒu!
On the little hill there's a dead dog, neither big nor small... It's Mortimer's dog!
- Sherlock Holmes 记得吗？它在雾里跑进荒原，就没回来。还有这个瓶子，里面是磷。
Jìde ma? Tā zài wù li pǎo jìn huāngyuán, jiù méi huílái. Hái yǒu zhège píngzi, lǐmiàn shì lín.
Remember? It ran onto the moor in the fog and never came back. And this bottle: there's phosphorus in it.
- Sherlock Holmes 三个乡下人看见的发光的东西，就是那只猎犬。
Sān gè xiāngxiarén kànjiàn de fāguāng de dōngxi, jiù shì nà zhī lièquǎn.
The glowing thing the three country people saw was that hound.
- Narrator 十一月的一天，亨利爵士和莫蒂默来贝克街说再见。
Shíyīyuè de yì tiān, Hēnglì Juéshì hé Mòdìmò lái Bèikè Jiē shuō zàijiàn.
One day in November, Sir Henry and Mortimer came to Baker Street to say goodbye.
- Sir Henry 谢谢你们！明天我和莫蒂默医生坐船环游世界。
Xièxie nǐmen! Míngtiān wǒ hé Mòdìmò yīshēng zuò chuán huányóu shìjiè.
Thank you both! Tomorrow Dr. Mortimer and I set sail around the world.
- Dr. Mortimer 福尔摩斯先生，我说过您是欧洲第二好的侦探。我错了，您是第一！
Fú'ěrmósī xiānsheng, wǒ shuōguo nín shì Ōuzhōu dì èr hǎo de zhēntàn. Wǒ cuò le, nín shì dì yī!
Mr. Holmes, I once said you were the second-best detective in Europe. I was wrong. You are the best!
- Sherlock Holmes 这话千万别让那位法国人听见。
Zhè huà qiānwàn bié ràng nà wèi Fǎguó rén tīngjiàn.
Whatever you do, don't let that Frenchman hear you say so.
- Dr. Watson 他们走了。福尔摩斯，现在可以从头说了吧？
Tāmen zǒu le. Fú'ěrmósī, xiànzài kěyǐ cóngtóu shuō le ba?
They've gone. Holmes, now will you tell me the whole story from the start?
- Sherlock Holmes 斯台普顿是罗杰的儿子，生在中美洲。记得吗？罗杰长得很像雨果的画像。
Sītáipǔdùn shì Luójié de érzi, shēng zài Zhōng Měizhōu. Jìde ma? Luójié zhǎng de hěn xiàng Yǔguǒ de huàxiàng.
Stapleton was Rodger's son, born in Central America. Remember? Rodger looked just like Hugo's portrait.
- Dr. Watson 那张画像！没有帽子和长长的头发，就是斯台普顿的脸！
Nà zhāng huàxiàng! Méiyǒu màozi hé chángcháng de tóufa, jiù shì Sītáipǔdùn de liǎn!
That portrait! Without the hat and the long hair, it was Stapleton's face!
- Sherlock Holmes 他在北方开过学校，学校关了，就带着太太来到德文郡，说她是妹妹。记得吗？他们一点儿也不像。
Tā zài běifāng kāiguo xuéxiào, xuéxiào guān le, jiù dàizhe tàitai lái dào Déwén Jùn, shuō tā shì mèimei. Jìde ma? Tāmen yìdiǎnr yě bú xiàng.
He once ran a school in the north. When it closed, he brought his wife to Devon and called her his sister. Remember? They looked nothing alike.
- Dr. Watson 他想继承庄园和钱。
Tā xiǎng jìchéng zhuāngyuán hé qián.
He wanted to inherit the Hall and the money.
- Sherlock Holmes 对。他很聪明，骗劳拉写了那封信。记得她说的“别人”吗？就是他。
Duì. Tā hěn cōngming, piàn Láolā xiě le nà fēng xìn. Jìde tā shuō de “biérén” ma? Jiù shì tā.
Yes. He was clever: he tricked Laura into writing that letter. Remember the "someone else" she spoke of? That was him.
- Sherlock Holmes 记得小门那儿的烟灰吗？查尔斯爵士等的是劳拉，来的是猎犬。他吓得一直跑，心脏停了。这是谋杀。
Jìde xiǎo mén nàr de yānhuī ma? Chá'ěrsī Juéshì děng de shì Láolā, lái de shì lièquǎn. Tā xià de yìzhí pǎo, xīnzàng tíng le. Zhè shì móushā.
Remember the cigar ash at the little gate? Sir Charles was waiting for Laura, and the hound came instead. He ran in terror until his heart stopped. It was murder.
- Dr. Watson 二七零四号马车里的黑胡子呢？他说他叫夏洛克·福尔摩斯！
Èr qī líng sì hào mǎchē li de hēi húzi ne? Tā shuō tā jiào Xiàluòkè Fú'ěrmósī!
And the black beard in cab 2704? He said his name was Sherlock Holmes!
- Sherlock Holmes 也是他，戴着假胡子。我说过他还会再来的。他真的来了，可是没戴胡子。
Yě shì tā, dàizhe jiǎ húzi. Wǒ shuōguo tā hái huì zài lái de. Tā zhēn de lái le, kěshì méi dài húzi.
Him again, in a false beard. I told you he would come again. And so he did, only without the beard.
- Dr. Watson 那靴子呢？为什么他偷了新的，又偷了旧的？
Nà xuēzi ne? Wèishénme tā tōu le xīn de, yòu tōu le jiù de?
And the boots? Why did he steal a new one, then an old one?
- Sherlock Holmes 咖啡色的新靴子没穿过，没有味道。猎犬要的是旧的。所以我知道，这是一只真的狗。
Kāfēisè de xīn xuēzi méi chuānguo, méiyǒu wèidào. Lièquǎn yào de shì jiù de. Suǒyǐ wǒ zhīdào, zhè shì yì zhī zhēn de gǒu.
The new brown boot had never been worn, so it had no smell. The hound needed an old one. So I knew this was a real dog.
- Sherlock Holmes 赛尔登穿着那套深红色的衣服，猎犬就追错了人。还好他有胡子，我们才知道不是亨利爵士。
Sài'ěrdēng chuānzhe nà tào shēnhóngsè de yīfu, lièquǎn jiù zhuī cuò le rén. Háihǎo tā yǒu húzi, wǒmen cái zhīdào bú shì Hēnglì Juéshì.
Selden was wearing that dark red suit, so the hound chased the wrong man. Luckily he had a beard: that's how we knew it wasn't Sir Henry.
- Dr. Watson 那封用剪下来的字做的信呢？
Nà fēng yòng jiǎn xiàlái de zì zuò de xìn ne?
And the letter made of cut-out words?
- Sherlock Holmes 记得吗？那天在这儿，我闻了闻那封信：有白色小花的香味，女人用的。
Jìde ma? Nà tiān zài zhèr, wǒ wén le wén nà fēng xìn: yǒu báisè xiǎo huā de xiāngwèi, nǚrén yòng de.
Remember? That day, right here, I smelled the letter: the scent of little white flowers, the kind a lady wears.
- Dr. Watson 是斯台普顿太太做的！
Shì Sītáipǔdùn tàitai zuò de!
Mrs. Stapleton made it!
- Sherlock Holmes 对。她想救亨利爵士，所以信上说：“离荒原远一点！”
Duì. Tā xiǎng jiù Hēnglì Juéshì, suǒyǐ xìn shang shuō: “Lí huāngyuán yuǎn yìdiǎn!”
Yes. She wanted to save Sir Henry, so the letter said: "Keep away from the moor!"
- Sherlock Holmes 好了，亲爱的华生，案子说完了。现在……我们去听歌剧吧！
Hǎo le, qīn'ài de Huáshēng, ànzi shuōwán le. Xiànzài… wǒmen qù tīng gējù ba!
There, my dear Watson, the case is told. And now... off to the opera!
