Back at Baskerville Hall, Holmes can't stop staring at an old family portrait, until one candle and one hand make Watson gasp.

- Sir Henry 福尔摩斯先生！我就知道你会来！
Fú'ěrmósī xiānsheng! Wǒ jiù zhīdào nǐ huì lái!
Mr. Holmes! I knew you'd come!
- Sir Henry 可是你的行李呢？你什么都没带？
Kěshì nǐ de xíngli ne? Nǐ shénme dōu méi dài?
But where's your luggage? You've brought nothing at all?
- Sherlock Holmes 我只带了华生。
Wǒ zhǐ dài le Huáshēng.
I brought only Watson.
- Sherlock Holmes 亨利爵士，今天晚上荒原上死了一个人：那个逃犯，赛尔登。
Hēnglì Juéshì, jīntiān wǎnshang huāngyuán shang sǐ le yí gè rén: nàge táofàn, Sài'ěrdēng.
Sir Henry, a man died on the moor tonight: the convict, Selden.
- Barrymore 赛尔登……他死了？
Sài'ěrdēng… tā sǐ le?
Selden... he is dead?
- Sherlock Holmes 他从石头上掉下来了，身上穿着亨利爵士的衣服。
Tā cóng shítou shang diào xiàlái le, shēnshang chuānzhe Hēnglì Juéshì de yīfu.
He fell from the rocks. He was wearing Sir Henry's clothes.
- Barrymore 是我给他的，先生。对不起……谢谢您告诉我。
Shì wǒ gěi tā de, xiānsheng. Duìbuqǐ… xièxie nín gàosu wǒ.
I gave them to him, sir. I'm sorry... Thank you for telling me.
- Sir Henry 没关系，巴里摩尔。快去告诉你太太吧。
Méi guānxi, Bālǐmó'ěr. Kuài qù gàosu nǐ tàitai ba.
It's all right, Barrymore. Go and tell your wife.
- Sir Henry 斯台普顿今天晚上请我去他家，我没去。我答应过你，晚上不一个人出去。
Sītáipǔdùn jīntiān wǎnshang qǐng wǒ qù tā jiā, wǒ méi qù. Wǒ dāyingguo nǐ, wǎnshang bù yí gè rén chūqù.
Stapleton asked me over tonight, but I didn't go. I promised you I wouldn't go out alone at night.
- Sherlock Holmes 你做得很对。
Nǐ zuò de hěn duì.
You did exactly right.
- Sir Henry 明天晚上，他们又请我去吃饭。
Míngtiān wǎnshang, tāmen yòu qǐng wǒ qù chī fàn.
And tomorrow night they've asked me to dinner.
- Sherlock Holmes 很好，你去吧。明天，你要听我的，好吗？
Hěn hǎo, nǐ qù ba. Míngtiān, nǐ yào tīng wǒ de, hǎo ma?
Good. Go. But tomorrow you must do as I say. Agreed?
- Sir Henry 好！你说什么，我就做什么。
Hǎo! Nǐ shuō shénme, wǒ jiù zuò shénme.
Agreed! Whatever you say, I'll do.
- Narrator 吃过晚饭，福尔摩斯一直看着墙上的老画像。
Chīguo wǎnfàn, Fú'ěrmósī yìzhí kànzhe qiáng shang de lǎo huàxiàng.
After dinner, Holmes could not stop looking at the old portraits on the walls.
- Dr. Watson 福尔摩斯，你什么时候开始喜欢看画了？你不是只喜欢案子吗？
Fú'ěrmósī, nǐ shénme shíhou kāishǐ xǐhuan kàn huà le? Nǐ bú shì zhǐ xǐhuan ànzi ma?
Holmes, since when have you cared about paintings? Aren't cases the only thing you like?
- Sherlock Holmes 巴里摩尔，那个戴大帽子的人是谁？
Bālǐmó'ěr, nàge dài dà màozi de rén shì shéi?
Barrymore, who is the man in the big hat?
- Barrymore 那是雨果·巴斯克维尔，先生。画上写着：一六四七年。
Nà shì Yǔguǒ Bāsīkèwéi'ěr, xiānsheng. Huà shang xiězhe: yī liù sì qī nián.
That is Hugo Baskerville, sir. The painting says 1647.
- Sherlock Holmes 黑衣服，大帽子，长长的头发……他看上去一点儿也不像坏人。
Hēi yīfu, dà màozi, chángcháng de tóufa… tā kàn shàngqù yìdiǎnr yě bú xiàng huàirén.
Black clothes, a big hat, long hair... He doesn't look like a wicked man at all.
- Sir Henry 画上的人，看上去都不像坏人。我去睡了，晚安！
Huà shang de rén, kàn shàngqù dōu bú xiàng huàirén. Wǒ qù shuì le, wǎn'ān!
Nobody in a painting looks wicked. I'm off to bed. Good night!
- Narrator 亨利爵士走了。福尔摩斯拿起蜡烛，站到了一把椅子上。
Hēnglì Juéshì zǒu le. Fú'ěrmósī náqǐ làzhú, zhàn dào le yì bǎ yǐzi shang.
Sir Henry went up. Holmes took a candle and climbed onto a chair.
- Sherlock Holmes 华生，你看清楚了。我把手放在他的帽子和头发前面……
Huáshēng, nǐ kàn qīngchu le. Wǒ bǎ shǒu fàng zài tā de màozi hé tóufa qiánmiàn…
Look carefully, Watson. I'll hold my hand in front of his hat and his hair...
- Dr. Watson 天哪！这是……这是斯台普顿的脸！
Tiān na! Zhè shì… zhè shì Sītáipǔdùn de liǎn!
Good heavens! It's... it's Stapleton's face!
- Sherlock Holmes 对。帽子和头发会骗人，脸不会。
Duì. Màozi hé tóufa huì piàn rén, liǎn bú huì.
Yes. A hat and hair can fool you. A face can't.
- Dr. Watson 斯台普顿也是巴斯克维尔家的人？你怎么知道的？
Sītáipǔdùn yě shì Bāsīkèwéi'ěr jiā de rén? Nǐ zěnme zhīdào de?
Stapleton is a Baskerville too? How did you know?
- Sherlock Holmes 一家人，常常长得很像。你看画上的眼睛和嘴，跟斯台普顿的一样。
Yì jiā rén, chángcháng zhǎng de hěn xiàng. Nǐ kàn huà shang de yǎnjing hé zuǐ, gēn Sītáipǔdùn de yíyàng.
People in one family often look alike. Look at the eyes and the mouth in the painting: they're Stapleton's.
- Dr. Watson 所以他想要亨利爵士死……他想继承这个庄园！
Suǒyǐ tā xiǎng yào Hēnglì Juéshì sǐ… tā xiǎng jìchéng zhège zhuāngyuán!
So he wants Sir Henry dead... He wants to inherit this Hall!
- Sherlock Holmes 对，还有所有的钱。巴斯克维尔家的人，要谋杀巴斯克维尔家的人。
Duì, hái yǒu suǒyǒu de qián. Bāsīkèwéi'ěr jiā de rén, yào móushā Bāsīkèwéi'ěr jiā de rén.
Yes, and all the money. A Baskerville means to murder a Baskerville.
- Narrator 福尔摩斯突然大笑起来。他很少这样大笑。
Fú'ěrmósī tūrán dà xiào qǐlái. Tā hěn shǎo zhèyàng dà xiào.
Holmes suddenly burst out laughing. He seldom laughed like that.
- Sherlock Holmes 明天晚上，他就会掉进我们的网里，华生，就像他自己的蝴蝶一样！
Míngtiān wǎnshang, tā jiù huì diào jìn wǒmen de wǎng li, Huáshēng, jiù xiàng tā zìjǐ de húdié yíyàng!
By tomorrow night he'll be in our net, Watson, just like one of his own butterflies!
