粉紅研究試翻～

因為某些語句上的通順性，咱沒有逐字翻。但大抵上，意思應該不會差太多才是。至於那些看得讓人滿頭霧水的句子，則被咱給略了，省得製造閱讀理解上的麻煩。所以，出現任何疑問的時候，還是看原文吧!畢竟咱的英文也不是很好。orz


於是，咱應該要列個警戒才是。踏入前請三思啊!!!


對了，粉紅研究是改自血字研究應該是非常清楚的吧?

A Study in Pink(粉紅研究)

I've blacked out a few names and places because of legal matters but, other than that, this is what happened on the night I moved in with Sherlock Holmes.

因為一些法律上的事情，我黑掉了幾個名字，但其它的事情，都是發生在我搬去與夏洛克同住的那個晚上。

When I first met Sherlock, he told me my life story. He could tell so much about me from my limp, my tan and my mobile phone. And that's the thing with him. It's no use trying to hide what you are because Sherlock sees right through everyone and everything in seconds. What's incredible, though, is how spectacularly ignorant he is about some things.


當我第一次與夏洛克見面，他告訴我一些我的故事，那是從我的跛足、膚色與行動電話中看出來的。夏洛克能非常快速的看穿每個人，每件事，讓所有的隱瞞都無用武之地。這是多麼的難以致信啊，僅管，他在某些事情上的無知也讓人難以想像。

This morning, for example, he asked me who the Prime Minister was. Last week he seemed to genuinely not know the Earth goes round the Sun. Seriously. He didn't know. He didn't think the Sun went round the Earth or anything. He just didn't care. I still can't quite believe it. In so many ways, he's the cleverest person I've ever met but there are these blank spots that are almost terrifying. At least I've got used to him now. Well, I say that, I suspect I'll never really get used to him. It's just, on that first night, I literally had no idea of what was to come. I mean, how could I?

舉個例子來說，今天早上，他問我說首相是誰。上週他似乎不知道地球繞著太陽轉。說真的，他是真的不知道，他不認為太陽繞著地球或是任何東西轉。他只是不在乎。我仍然無法真的相信這事。在很多方面上，他是我所見過最聰明的人，但是，在其它地方面，那些空白也同樣讓人感到害怕。至少，我現在開始習慣了。好吧，雖然我這麼說，但我懷疑我不可能真正的習慣他。這只是第一晚，我真的不知道會發生什麼事情，我是說，我怎麼會知道呢?

I was looking at the flat, surprised at the state it was already in, when DI ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓from Scotland Yard burst in. Sherlock, of course, already knew why he was there. There'd been another death - this time, in ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓. Sherlock asked me to join him and I went along, intrigued. In the taxi, he explained how he'd deduced everything about me the previous day - how he'd picked up on every word I said, every action, tiny little things about my phone. It was extraordinary. I'd try to explain it here but I don't think I'd be able to do him justice. Go to his site, The Science of Deduction and see for yourself how his mind works.

當時，我正被公寓的狀態嚇到，一名蘇格蘭場的探長衝了進來。夏洛克，理所當然的，已經知道探長到訪的原因，出現了另一名死者。他問我要不要一同，而在好奇之下我就跟去了。在計程車上，他解釋了他是如何在前一天時，他是如何從我的言行還有手機上的小細節裡看穿我的過往。這真是太了不起了，我嘗試在這裡說明，但是我想我並不能夠得到他的認同。到他的網頁上吧，自己看看他是怎麼運作這一切的。

I was still surprised that, even being the genius he clearly is, the police would come to him for help. He said he was a 'consulting detective'. Naturally, being the arrogant so-and-so he is, he'd had to give himself his own unique job title.


即管知道他是如何的天才，我仍然很訝異為什麼警察會來尋求他的協助。他說他是咨詢偵探，當然，這聽起來很傲慢，而他確實也是，他給了他自己一個獨一無二的工作職務。

We arrived in ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ where, to my surprise, he introduced me as his colleague. The police seemed surprised by this as well I get the impression he'd not had 'colleagues' before. It was a body of a woman, dressed in pink. And she'd been poisoned. Again, Sherlock just looked at her and he knew everything about her. The way she was dressed. Splatters of mud on her leg. What was there and, more importantly, what was missing. Her suitcase. And it was that which excited him. The missing pink suitcase.
我們到達目的時，出乎我意料的，他向人介紹說我是他的同事，這也讓那位警察嚇了一跳，這讓我覺得，他之前從來沒有同事這樣的東西存在。那具屍體是名穿著一身粉紅而中毒死亡的女性。再一次的，夏洛克只是看著她，就知道她所發生的事。她的穿著，飛濺在小腿上的泥漿。那裡有什麼，還有更重要的，有什麼不見了。她的行李箱。這個失蹤的粉紅行李箱，讓他驚奮起來。

He left the body and ran outside to searched for it, naturally leaving me behind. I spoke to a policewoman and she summed Sherlock up. She said 'he gets off on it.' And he does. He didn't care about the dead woman or any of the other victims. I suspect if he came back and found me and our landlady lying here with our throats cut, he'd just see it as an intellectual exercise. 'Fantastic' he'd exclaim, rubbing his hands together. 'But the door was locked so how did they kill each other?' The policewoman, she called him a psychopath. That seems harsh and it was hardly a professional diagnosis but I look back at what I wrote about him when I first met him. I called him the madman.

他離開了這個屍體，衝到外頭尋找它，然後，很自然的將我丟下。我與一名女警聊天，而她大致上的跟我描敘了一下夏洛克。她說，「他已經因此離開了。」，而也真的如此。夏洛克不在乎那名死去的女士或是其它的受害者。我懷疑他是否會回來將我撿回去。他看來像只把這事當作是智力上的鍛練。「太美妙了!」他會興奮的搓著手驚嘆道，「但是門是鎖著的，他們怎麼殺害彼此?」女警叫他神經病，這聽起來有些苛刻，不是專業上的診斷，但是，我回過頭看當初的描寫時，我叫他狂人。

So I went back to Baker Street and Sherlock asked me to send a text message. He'd found her suitcase and discovered that the victim's phone was missing. He knew the killer would have it, so there I was, texting a serial killer.

然後，我回到了貝克街，夏洛克要我發封簡訊。他發現了她的行李箱，並發現了她的手機失蹤了。他認為那名殺手會拿到她的手機，所以，我發訊息的對像就是那名連續殺人犯。

He'd found the woman's missing suitcase because he'd known it would be pink, like the woman's clothes. It hadn't even crossed my mind and when I said this, he told me I was an idiot. He didn't mean to be offensive, he just said what he thought. I've been called worse things but his bluntness was still a bit of a surprise. He just didn't care about being polite or anything like that. I was starting to understand why he didn't seem to have many 'colleagues'.

他會發現到那女士失蹤的箱子，是因為他曉得那會是粉紅色的，就如同女子的衣著。而這是我從未想到的事情，當我這麼說的時候，他告訴我因為我是名笨蛋。他並不是故意要冒犯人，他只是講了他所想的事情。雖然我曾經被罵過更難聽的，但他的直言不諱還是讓我感到訝異。他只是不在乎何謂禮貌或是其它這樣的事情。我開始瞭解到為什麼他看似沒有與太多人同事過。

After that, we went on a stakeout. We waited in a restaurant to see if the killer would visit the address I'd texted him. Across the road, we saw a taxi pull up. We ran out, but it drove off. Sherlock insisted on chasing it and luckily he seemed to have an intimate knowledge of London's backstreets. Of course, as I realised afterwards, he's probably memorised the London A-Z. We ran down street after street and we managed to catch up with the taxi - only to discover that the passenger wasn't our killer. He'd only just arrived in the UK. It was the most ridiculous night of my life - I mean, an actual chase through London. People don't do that, not really. But we did.

然後，我們開始進行監視。我們在家餐館中等待，看看殺手會不會到我發給他的那個地址，然後，我們看到一台計程車停在對街。我們跑了出現，但他開走了，夏洛克堅直追了上去，很幸運的，他似乎對於倫敦每個暗巷瞭若指掌。而我之後瞭解到，他很可能的將倫敦地圖給背下了。我們在倫敦的街道上奔馳，然後，追上了那台計程車，那裡只有一名乘客，很顯然的才剛到倫敦，那不是我們的兇手。這大概是我一生中最瘋狂的夜晚，我是說，在倫敦裡追逐奔跑。人們不會做這樣的事情，但我們這麼做。

And, of course, by doing this, Sherlock proved my limp was psychosomatic. Did I mention he's clever?

然後，因為這事，夏洛克證明了我的跛腳是心理因素的關係。我有說他很聰明嗎?

We returned to the flat to discover that ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ and the police were there, examining the suitcase. It was actually pretty funny seeing how offended Sherlock was by this. I genuinely think he believes himself to be above the law. And he couldn't stand the fact that ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ had got one over him. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ described Sherlock as a child and, in many ways, that's what he is. I said that he doesn't care about what others think and that he's arrogant because of this but it's not really that. It's not that he doesn't care, it's that he genuinely doesn't understand that it's normal to care. It's normal to worry about what other people think. Like a child, he just doesn't understand the rules of society - which, of course, is probably why he's so good at working the rest of us out.

我們回到公寓，發現探長還有他的部下在那裡檢查行李箱。而非常有趣的，這完全激怒了夏洛克。我想，他相信自己是超過法律的，而他看起來不能接受探長在這方面上比他站著住腳的事實。探長說夏洛克像是孩子一樣，在很多方面上，他確實如此。我說他並不在乎別人的想法，這讓他看起來很傲慢，但事實上並非如此，他只是不曉得一般人在乎什麼。常人會在乎別人的觀感。就像是名孩子，他只是不曉得這社會的規矩。這大概就是為什麼我們的出現會干擾他的工作。

Sherlock thinks everyone else is stupid so he's like a kid at Christmas when it turns out that one of us have done something clever. I'm not talking about me but our murder victim. She hadn't lost her phone. She hadn't left it behind. She knew she was going to die so she'd left her phone in the taxi - And, like all modern phones, it had a GPS system so you could locate it. That brilliant woman had led us to her killer.

夏洛克認為所有除了他以外的人都是笨蛋，所以，當他發現有人做出件聰明事時，他快樂的像是聖誕節的孩子。不是我，是我們的被害人。她沒有丟失她的手機，她沒有遺忘它。她曉得她即將死去，所以她將它留在計程車上。而就像是所有的現代手機，它有GPS定位系統，你可以定位它。這位高明的女士領導我們去找尋殺害她的人。

And he was outside. He was outside our flat - in his taxi! We'd chased him halfway across London, thinking he'd been driving the killer - but he was the killer himself. That was how he'd manage to get to his victims - just by picking them up in his cab. Of course, Sherlock being completely and utterly mad, got into the taxi so he could talk to him. Again, he wasn't interested in the 'rules'. He wasn't interested in how the driver had done all this. I don't think he was particularly interested in stopping him and it didn't even cross his mind to let the police know that the man they were looking for was outside. All Sherlock Holmes was interested in was discovering why the killer had done it. He wanted to be alone with the killer so he could question him. That was more important than anything else - despite the obvious threat to his own life.

而他就在外頭，在我們公寓外的計程車上。我們在倫敦街道上所追到的，認為他載到了兇手，但，他就是兇手本人。這就是他如何得到他的被害者的方法，讓他們上他的車。然後，夏洛克這個瘋子為了與對方交談就上車了。再一次的，他無視了「規則」。他不在乎司機如何做這事的目的。而我也不認為，他想要阻止對方，而他甚至也沒想過讓警方知道他們在找的男人就在我們的公寓外。夏洛克．福爾摩斯所感興趣的，只在發現為什麼兇手要這麼做。他想要單獨與兇手在一起，這樣他就可以問他問題。這比任何事都還來得重要，僅管，這明顯地威脅到他的生命。

The taxi driver drove him to a college of further education so they could both educate each other on - well, on how their minds worked, I guess. It's not something I'll ever really understand and, to be honest, I'm not sure I ever want to understand it. To be that much of a psychopath. To be that above the rest of us. To be that dangerous. It's pretty terrifying.

計程車司機將他載到一家進修教育學院，這麼一來，他們就可以彼此瞭解一下對方。而他們的心智活動，我想，那不是我可以瞭解的，老實說，我不確定我是否會想理解。那太神經病了，太超越我們所能理解的範圍，也太危險。那真的非常駭人。

Afterwards, Sherlock told me what happened. The taxi driver had a brain aneurism. He was dying. He'd pick up his victims and take them somewhere. Then he'd give them a choice. Take one of two pills - one of which was harmless and one of which would kill them. Their only other choice was that he would shoot them. It makes me furious to think about those poor people who got into his taxi - one of them was just a kid! They must have gone through hell. But Sherlock, mad old Sherlock, he understood him. As far the taxi driver was concerned, he was outliving people. He was giving himself the power of life and death. And I do, I genuinely think Sherlock understood this.

之後，夏洛克告訴我發生了什麼事。那位司機有腦動脈瘤，他隨時都可能死去。他挑選他的受害人，載他們到某個地方，然後，給與他們一個選擇。從兩個藥丸中挑一個，一個是無害的，一個則會殺了他們。如果不從的話，他就會槍殺他們。一想到那些進到他的計程車裡頭的無辜民眾，所受到的遭遇就讓我非常憤怒，那些人之中，有人甚至只是名孩子!他們必定是經歷過了地獄。但夏洛克，瘋狂的夏洛克，他瞭解他。根據司機所言，他已經是名死人，他讓自己掌握了玩弄生死的權利。而我想，真的這麼認為，夏洛克瞭解為什麼他要這麼做。

Myself and the police had managed to work out where they'd gone so we'd driven after them. But it was too late. By the time we got there, I could see that Sherlock was going to take one of the pills. It wasn't because he had to but because it was a game of wits. He wasn't going to let this other arrogant, pompous psychopath win. Which is when someone shot the taxi driver. Someone like that's bound to have enemies so it shouldn't have been a surprise but I hadn't seen anyone shot since Afghanistan. It's something you never really get used to. That someone could have the power of life and death over someone else - but I'm glad whoever it was did it, because they undoubtedly saved Sherlock's life. And, frankly, after everything that man had done to those innocent people who got into his car, a quick death like that was better than he deserved.

我與警方得先知道他們上哪了，所以，我們在他們之後才抵達。但已經太晚了，當我們到之前，我可以想見夏洛克正準備要吃下其中一顆藥丸。這並不是因為他必需要吃，而是因為這是場鬥智比賽；他沒有讓另一個傲慢又自大的神經病得逞，是因為有人槍殺了那名司機。像這樣的人有敵人，我並不感到意外，但至從我離開阿富汗之後，我還沒有看過有人開槍。但不論這是誰做的，我都對此感到高興，因為這救了夏洛克一命。而坦白說，基於那名司機對於那些上他車子的無辜民眾所做的一切，這樣快速的死亡比他應得的好太多了。

And after all that? Well, me and my flatmate went for a Chinese. Like I say, he really does know some great restaurants.

而這之後呢?嗯，我和我的室友上了家中國餐館。就如同我所說的，他真的知道些很好的館子。

There was one other thing though. Before the taxi driver died, he said a name. A name of someone or something that had helped him. Moriarty. I've never heard of it and neither has Sherlock. Of course, he loves it. He thinks he's found himself an arch-enemy. He's a strange child.

喔，還有件事。在計程車司機死亡前，他說了一個名字。一個幫助他的人或是什麼東西的名字，莫利阿提。我沒有聽過有關它的事，夏洛克也一樣。理所當然的，他愛死它了。他認為他幫自己找到了一個魔王。他真是個奇怪的孩子。

And since that night? It hasn't stopped. Oh, there's so much more I've got to tell you.

而那夜之後呢?事情還沒有結束。喔，那遠比我所告訴你的事情還多。

of course if i was sherlock's colleague we would have solved the case much earlier. how could you not realise the suitcase would be pink?
如果我是夏洛克的同事的話，我們理所當然的會更快解決這個案子。為什麼你不能理解這個行李箱會是粉紅色的?

capital letters are just one of society's conventions that I choose to ignore. you've just been programmed to be one of society. you're a sheep.
大寫只是一種我所鄙棄的社會規則。你只是被社會所牽著走，你這隻綿羊。

Sally Donovan 07 February 16:36

John, I've only just found this post. I've glanced over it and honestly, words fail me. What I do is an exact science and should be treated as such. You've made the whole experience seem like some kind of romantic adventure. You should have focussed on my analytical reasoning and nothing more.
約翰，我才剛發現這則帖子。我大致上看了一遍，坦白說，這敘述讓我很失望。我所做的事情是種科學，並且該被如此看待。你讓整件事情看起來像是種浪漫的冒險。你應該專注在我的分析推理而不是其它事情上。(例如說，你的舉動就像是孩子嗎?笑)

Sherlock Holmes 28 March 17:46

It's your turn to buy the milk, Sherlock.
這是該輪到你去買牛奶了，夏洛克。(醫生好淡定)

John Watson 28 March 18:12




話說回來，有人相信偵探到了3/28日才看到這一篇嗎?咱才不信呢!明明這傢伙在3/23就已經吐槽過醫生了。怎麼會沒看到這文呢?想是他很認真的在思考說，要怎麼寫回文吧?(喂～)


只是醫生對於偵探的態度……真是淡定啊!!!(望天)，果然是相處久了，兩個月，已經自動無視於偵探那些戳人的言語了嗎?真是了不起的適應能力啊!
