Barrymore 华生医生，我还想告诉您一件事。塞尔登生前对我太太说过，山上还有一个陌生人，每天都在看着我们。
Huáshēng yīshēng, wǒ hái xiǎng gàosu nín yí jiàn shì. Sài'ěrdēng shēngqián duì wǒ tàitai shuō guò, shānshàng háiyǒu yí gè mòshēngrén, měitiān dōu zài kànzhe wǒmen.
Dr. Watson, there is one more thing. Before he died, Selden told my wife that a stranger lives on the hill and watches us every day.
Dr. Watson 陌生人？他住在哪儿？
Mòshēngrén? Tā zhù zài nǎr?
A stranger? Where does he live?
Barrymore 在荒野最高的山上，一间很古老的石屋里。听说，那是几千年前的人留下的。
Zài huāngyě zuìgāo de shānshàng, yì jiān hěn gǔlǎo de shíwū lǐ. Tīngshuō, nà shì jǐ qiān nián qián de rén liúxià de.
On the highest hill of the moor, in a very old stone hut. They say it was left by people thousands of years ago.
Sir Henry 华生，那个人一定就是写信的人！我们一起去抓住他！
Huáshēng, nàge rén yídìng jiùshì xiěxìn de rén! Wǒmen yìqǐ qù zhuāzhù tā!
Watson, that man must be the one who wrote the letter! Let's catch him together!
Dr. Watson 不，亨利。如果他看到我们两个人，一定会躲起来。还是让我一个人去吧。
Bù, Hēnglì. Rúguǒ tā kàndào wǒmen liǎng gè rén, yídìng huì duǒ qǐlái. Háishi ràng wǒ yí gè rén qù ba.
No, Henry. If he sees the two of us, he'll hide. Let me go alone.
Sir Henry 那好吧。可你要带上枪！
Nà hǎo ba. Kě nǐ yào dàishàng qiāng!
All right. But take your gun!
Dr. Watson 带了。你就放心吧。
Dài le. Nǐ jiù fàngxīn ba.
I have it. Don't worry.
Sir Henry 我就是不放心。你每次说“放心”，就有怪事发生。
Wǒ jiùshì bú fàngxīn. Nǐ měicì shuō “fàngxīn”, jiù yǒu guàishì fāshēng.
I do worry. Every time you say “don't worry,” something odd happens.
Narrator 傍晚，华生一个人爬上荒野最高的山。天很快就黑了，风也越来越大。
Bàngwǎn, Huáshēng yí gè rén pá shàng huāngyě zuìgāo de shān. Tiān hěnkuài jiù hēi le, fēng yě yuè lái yuè dà.
In the evening, Watson climbed the highest hill on the moor alone. It soon grew dark, and the wind grew stronger.
Dr. Watson 就是这里。里面有一条毯子，一盒火柴，还有一张纸。这个人在这里住了很久。
Jiùshì zhèlǐ. Lǐmiàn yǒu yì tiáo tǎnzi, yì hé huǒchái, háiyǒu yì zhāng zhǐ. Zhège rén zài zhèlǐ zhù le hěn jiǔ.
This is the place. There's a blanket, a box of matches, and a sheet of paper. Someone has lived here a long time.
Dr. Watson 纸上写着：“华生医生今天去了斯台普顿家。”这是谁写的？
Zhǐ shàng xiě zhe: “Huáshēng yīshēng jīntiān qù le Sītáipǔdùn jiā.” Zhè shì shuí xiě de?
The paper says, “Dr. Watson went to the Stapletons' house today.” Who wrote this?
Dr. Watson 有人一直在看着我，还把我做的每件事都写了下来！
Yǒurén yìzhí zài kànzhe wǒ, hái bǎ wǒ zuò de měi jiàn shì dōu xiě le xiàlái!
Someone has been watching me, and writing down everything I do!
Sherlock Holmes 华生，今晚的月亮真美，对不对？特别适合一个人爬山。
Huáshēng, jīnwǎn de yuèliàng zhēn měi, duì bú duì? Tèbié shìhé yí gè rén páshān.
Watson, the moon is lovely tonight, isn't it? Perfect for climbing a hill alone.
Dr. Watson 谁？站住！我有枪，你不要再往前走！
Shuí? Zhànzhù! Wǒ yǒu qiāng, nǐ bú yào zài wǎng qián zǒu!
Who's there? Stop! I have a gun, don't come any closer!
Sherlock Holmes 你的枪对我没有用。你听不出我的声音吗？我们一起破了那么多案子！
Nǐ de qiāng duì wǒ méiyǒu yòng. Nǐ tīng bù chū wǒ de shēngyīn ma? Wǒmen yìqǐ pò le nàme duō ànzi!
Your gun won't help against me. Don't you know my voice? We've solved so many cases together!
Dr. Watson 福尔摩斯？！
Fú'ěrmósī?!
Holmes?!
Sherlock Holmes 是我。我在荒野住了好几天，就住在这间石屋里，每天晚上看着庄园的灯。
Shì wǒ. Wǒ zài huāngyě zhù le hǎo jǐtiān, jiù zhù zài zhè jiān shíwū lǐ, měitiān wǎnshang kànzhe zhuāngyuán de dēng.
It's me. I've been living on the moor for days, in this very hut, watching the lights of the hall every night.
Dr. Watson 你为什么不告诉我？我一直以为，山上有另一个坏人！
Nǐ wèishénme bú gàosu wǒ? Wǒ yìzhí yǐwéi, shānshàng yǒu lìng yí gè huàirén!
Why didn't you tell me? I thought there was another villain on the hill!
Sherlock Holmes 对不起，华生。我不想让别人知道我在这儿。不过，你写的每一封信，我都收到了。
Duìbuqǐ, Huáshēng. Wǒ bù xiǎng ràng biérén zhīdào wǒ zài zhèr. Búguò, nǐ xiě de měi yì fēng xìn, wǒ dōu shōudào le.
Sorry, Watson. I didn't want anyone to know I was here. But I received every letter you wrote.
Dr. Watson 你刚才吓了我一大跳！
Nǐ gāngcái xià le wǒ yí dà tiào!
You gave me a terrible fright just now!
Sherlock Holmes 哈哈，抱歉。你知道吗？我每天只能吃冷面包，还要躲着所有人，这有多难！
Hāhā, bàoqiàn. Nǐ zhīdào ma? Wǒ měitiān zhǐnéng chī lěng miànbāo, háiyào duǒ zhe suǒyǒu rén, zhè yǒu duō nán!
Ha, sorry. Do you know how hard it is? I eat only cold bread and hide from everyone!
Sherlock Holmes 不过，我发现了一件重要的事。那个坐马车跟着爵士的人，就是斯台普顿。
Búguò, wǒ fāxiàn le yí jiàn zhòngyào de shì. Nàge zuò mǎchē gēnzhe juéshì de rén, jiùshì Sītáipǔdùn.
But I found out something important. The man who followed Sir Henry in the cab was Stapleton.
Dr. Watson 斯台普顿？那个捉蝴蝶的人？
Sītáipǔdùn? Nàge zhuō húdié de rén?
Stapleton? The butterfly man?
Sherlock Holmes 对。贝丽尔不是他的妹妹，她是他的妻子。她不敢说，因为她太怕他了。
Duì. Bèilì'ěr bú shì tā de mèimei, tā shì tā de qīzi. Tā bù gǎn shuō, yīnwèi tā tài pà tā le.
Yes. Beryl isn't his sister. She's his wife. She dares not speak, because she is too afraid of him.
Dr. Watson 难怪她那天说了那样的话！
Nánguài tā nàtiān shuō le nàyàng de huà!
No wonder she said those words that day!
Dr. Watson 所以他一直用蝴蝶和笑容，骗了我们所有人！
Suǒyǐ tā yìzhí yòng húdié hé xiàoróng, piàn le wǒmen suǒyǒu rén!
So he's fooled us all with his butterflies and his smile!
Sherlock Holmes 他是个很聪明的人，华生。所以我们更要小心。
Tā shì gè hěn cōngming de rén, Huáshēng. Suǒyǐ wǒmen gèng yào xiǎoxīn.
He is a very clever man, Watson. That is why we must be all the more careful.
Sherlock Holmes 那只猎犬是真的。可是我们没有证据，警察不会相信我们说的话。
Nà zhī lièquǎn shì zhēnde. Kěshì wǒmen méiyǒu zhèngjù, jǐngchá bú huì xiāngxìn wǒmen shuō de huà.
The hound is real. But we have no proof, and the police won't believe what we say.
Dr. Watson 那怎么办？
Nà zěnme bàn?
Then what do we do?
Sherlock Holmes 明天晚上，亨利爵士要去斯台普顿家吃饭。回家的路很黑，一定要走过荒野。
Míngtiān wǎnshang, Hēnglì juéshì yào qù Sītáipǔdùn jiā chīfàn. Huíjiā de lù hěn hēi, yídìng yào zǒuguò huāngyě.
Tomorrow night, Sir Henry dines at the Stapletons'. The way home is dark, and it crosses the moor.
Dr. Watson 你是想……让亨利当鱼饵？
Nǐ shì xiǎng…… ràng Hēnglì dāng yú'ěr?
You mean... use Henry as bait?
Sherlock Holmes 对。而我们，要在黑暗里，等着那只猎犬。
Duì. Ér wǒmen, yào zài hēi'àn lǐ, děng zhe nà zhī lièquǎn.
Yes. And we will wait in the dark for the hound.
