- Narrator 那天夜里，斯台普顿家旁边的大石头后面，福尔摩斯、华生和雷斯垂德一动也不动。
Nà tiān yèli, Sītáipǔdùn jiā pángbiān de dà shítou hòumiàn, Fú'ěrmósī, Huáshēng hé Léisīchuídé yí dòng yě bú dòng.
That night, behind the big rocks near the Stapletons' house, Holmes, Watson and Lestrade lay perfectly still.
- Sherlock Holmes 华生，你过去看看窗户里面。轻一点儿。
Huáshēng, nǐ guòqù kànkan chuānghu lǐmiàn. Qīng yìdiǎnr.
Watson, go over and look in at the window. Quietly.
- Dr. Watson 他们吃完饭了。亨利爵士和斯台普顿坐在桌子旁边，拿着雪茄在说话。
Tāmen chī wán fàn le. Hēnglì Juéshì hé Sītáipǔdùn zuò zài zhuōzi pángbiān, názhe xuějiā zài shuōhuà.
They've finished dinner. Sir Henry and Stapleton are sitting at the table, talking over their cigars.

- Sherlock Holmes 斯台普顿太太呢？
Sītáipǔdùn tàitai ne?
And Mrs. Stapleton?
- Dr. Watson 不在。只有他们两个人。她去哪儿了？
Bú zài. Zhǐyǒu tāmen liǎng gè rén. Tā qù nǎr le?
Not there. Only the two of them. Where has she gone?
- Dr. Watson 你听！房子后面的小屋子里，有东西在抓门。斯台普顿出去看了看，又回来了。
Nǐ tīng! Fángzi hòumiàn de xiǎo wūzi li, yǒu dōngxi zài zhuā mén. Sītáipǔdùn chūqù kàn le kàn, yòu huílái le.
Listen! Something is scratching at the door of the little shed behind the house. Stapleton went out to look, and now he's back.
- Sherlock Holmes 别动，华生。再等一等。
Bié dòng, Huáshēng. Zài děng yi děng.
Don't move, Watson. Wait a little longer.
- Inspector Lestrade 福尔摩斯先生，你看那边！那白白的东西是什么？
Fú'ěrmósī xiānsheng, nǐ kàn nàbiān! Nà báibái de dōngxi shì shénme?
Mr. Holmes, look over there! What's that white stuff?
- Sherlock Holmes 雾！是从沼泽那边过来的雾！
Wù! Shì cóng zhǎozé nàbiān guòlái de wù!
Fog! Fog coming up from the mire!
- Narrator 白色的雾慢慢地爬过荒原，爬上了那条小路。
Báisè de wù mànmàn de páguò huāngyuán, pá shàng le nà tiáo xiǎolù.
The white fog crept slowly over the moor and up onto the path.
- Sherlock Holmes 不好！雾越来越大了。亨利爵士要是再不出来，我们就什么也看不见了！
Bù hǎo! Wù yuè lái yuè dà le. Hēnglì Juéshì yàoshi zài bù chūlái, wǒmen jiù shénme yě kàn bu jiàn le!
This is bad! The fog is getting thicker. If Sir Henry doesn't come out soon, we won't see a thing!
- Stapleton 晚安，亨利爵士！记住，走那条小路回去，路上小心！
Wǎn'ān, Hēnglì Juéshì! Jìzhù, zǒu nà tiáo xiǎolù huíqù, lù shang xiǎoxīn!
Good night, Sir Henry! Remember, take the path home, and be careful on the way!
- Narrator 亨利爵士一个人走进了雾里。他走得很快，一边走，一边往后面看。
Hēnglì Juéshì yí gè rén zǒu jìn le wù li. Tā zǒu de hěn kuài, yìbiān zǒu, yìbiān wǎng hòumiàn kàn.
Sir Henry walked alone into the fog. He walked fast, looking behind him as he went.
- Dr. Watson 你听……他后面有东西在跑。很重，很快……
Nǐ tīng… tā hòumiàn yǒu dōngxi zài pǎo. Hěn zhòng, hěn kuài…
Listen... something is running behind him. Heavy... fast...
- Sherlock Holmes 拿好你的枪，华生！雷斯垂德，你也是！它来了！
Ná hǎo nǐ de qiāng, Huáshēng! Léisīchuídé, nǐ yě shì! Tā lái le!
Have your gun ready, Watson! You too, Lestrade! Here it comes!
- Narrator 一只特别大的黑狗，从白白的雾里跳了出来。
Yì zhī tèbié dà de hēi gǒu, cóng báibái de wù li tiào le chūlái.
An enormous black dog leapt out of the white fog.
- Dr. Watson 天哪！它的嘴里有火，眼睛也在发光！这是什么狗？
Tiān na! Tā de zuǐ li yǒu huǒ, yǎnjing yě zài fāguāng! Zhè shì shénme gǒu?
Good heavens! There's fire in its mouth, and its eyes are glowing! What kind of dog is that?
- Inspector Lestrade 魔鬼！是魔鬼！
Móguǐ! Shì móguǐ!
The devil! It's the devil!
- Narrator 雷斯垂德吓得脸朝下倒了。猎犬一下就跳到了亨利爵士身上。
Léisīchuídé xià de liǎn cháo xià dǎo le. Lièquǎn yíxià jiù tiào dào le Hēnglì Juéshì shēnshang.
Lestrade fell flat on his face in terror. In one bound the hound was on Sir Henry.
- Sir Henry 走开！走开！救我！它要咬我！
Zǒukāi! Zǒukāi! Jiù wǒ! Tā yào yǎo wǒ!
Get off! Get off! Help me! It's going to bite me!
- Sherlock Holmes 亨利爵士！华生，快去看看他！
Hēnglì Juéshì! Huáshēng, kuài qù kànkan tā!
Sir Henry! Watson, quick, go to him!
- Dr. Watson 福尔摩斯，你开了五枪……它不动了。
Fú'ěrmósī, nǐ kāi le wǔ qiāng… tā bú dòng le.
Holmes, you fired five times... It isn't moving.
- Sherlock Holmes 它死了。巴斯克维尔的猎犬，再也不会吓人了。
Tā sǐ le. Bāsīkèwéi'ěr de lièquǎn, zài yě bú huì xià rén le.
It's dead. The Hound of the Baskervilles will never frighten anyone again.
- Sir Henry 我……我还活着？华生，那到底是什么东西？
Wǒ… wǒ hái huózhe? Huáshēng, nà dàodǐ shì shénme dōngxi?
I'm... I'm still alive? Watson, what on earth was that thing?
- Dr. Watson 有小牛那么大！莫蒂默看见的黑东西，那些特别大的猎犬的脚印……都是它！
Yǒu xiǎoniú nàme dà! Mòdìmò kànjiàn de hēi dōngxi, nàxiē tèbié dà de lièquǎn de jiǎoyìn… dōu shì tā!
As big as a calf! The black thing Mortimer saw, the footprints of a gigantic hound... it was all this!
- Sherlock Holmes 雷斯垂德，华生，你们看我的手。我刚才碰了它的头。
Léisīchuídé, Huáshēng, nǐmen kàn wǒ de shǒu. Wǒ gāngcái pèng le tā de tóu.
Lestrade, Watson, look at my hand. I just touched its head.
- Dr. Watson 你的手指也在发光！
Nǐ de shǒuzhǐ yě zài fāguāng!
Your fingers are glowing too!
- Sherlock Holmes 是磷。它的头上和嘴上都是磷，所以它会发光，像魔鬼一样。
Shì lín. Tā de tóu shang hé zuǐ shang dōu shì lín, suǒyǐ tā huì fāguāng, xiàng móguǐ yíyàng.
Phosphorus. Its head and jaws are covered in it. That's why it glowed like a devil.
- Inspector Lestrade 磷？福尔摩斯先生，这样的案子，我在伦敦从来没见过！
Lín? Fú'ěrmósī xiānsheng, zhèyàng de ànzi, wǒ zài Lúndūn cónglái méi jiànguo!
Phosphorus? Mr. Holmes, I've never seen a case like this in London!
- Sherlock Holmes 刚才在小屋子里抓门的，就是它！斯台普顿一定听见了枪的声音。快，去他家！
Gāngcái zài xiǎo wūzi li zhuā mén de, jiù shì tā! Sītáipǔdùn yídìng tīngjiàn le qiāng de shēngyīn. Kuài, qù tā jiā!
That's what was scratching in the shed just now! Stapleton must have heard the shots. Quick, to his house!
- Sir Henry 斯台普顿？我刚才还跟他一起吃饭！
Sītáipǔdùn? Wǒ gāngcái hái gēn tā yìqǐ chī fàn!
Stapleton? I was having dinner with him a few minutes ago!
- Dr. Watson 房子里一个人也没有！楼上……这个门打不开！
Fángzi li yí gè rén yě méiyǒu! Lóushàng… zhège mén dǎ bu kāi!
There's no one in the house! Upstairs... this door won't open!
- Inspector Lestrade 让开，我来！
Ràngkāi, wǒ lái!
Stand back, let me!
- Dr. Watson 这么多蝴蝶……福尔摩斯，你看！那根木头上面，绑着一个人！
Zhème duō húdié… Fú'ěrmósī, nǐ kàn! Nà gēn mùtou shàngmiàn, bǎngzhe yí gè rén!
So many butterflies... Holmes, look! There's someone tied to that post!
