The man who entered was a sturdy, middle-sized fellow, some thirty years of age,

進(jìn)門的男人身體結(jié)實(shí)，中等身材，三十來歲，

clean-shaven, and sallow-skinned, with a bland, insinuating manner, and a pair of wonderfully sharp and penetrating gray eyes.

胡須刮得干干凈凈，膚色淡黃，一副殷勤的、曲意奉承的樣子，一雙銳利逼人的灰色眼睛。

He shot a questioning glance at each of us, placed his shiny top-hat upon the sideboard,

他詢問地掃視了我們倆一眼，把那頂有光澤的圓式帽子擱在邊架上，

and with a slight bow sidled down into the nearest chair.

微微鞠了個(gè)躬，側(cè)身坐在就近的椅子上。

"Good-evening, Mr. James Windibank," said Holmes.

"晚安，詹姆斯·溫迪班克先生，"福爾摩斯說道，

"I think that this typewritten letter is from you, in which you made an appointment with me for six o'clock?"

"我想這封打字的信是出自你手的吧，你在信中約定六點(diǎn)鐘和我們見面，是嗎？"

"Yes, sir. I am afraid that I am a little late, but I am not quite my own master, you know.

"是的，先生。我怕是稍微來遲了，不過我身不由己啊。

I am sorry that Miss Sutherland has troubled you about this little matter,

我很抱歉薩瑟蘭小姐拿這種微不足道的事情來麻煩你，

for I think it is far better not to wash linen of the sort in public.

我覺得還是不要家丑外揚(yáng)的好。

It was quite against my wishes that she came, but she is a very excitable, impulsive girl, as you may have noticed,

她來找你們，這是違背了我的意愿的。你們也已看到了，

and she is not easily controlled when she has made up her mind on a point.

她是個(gè)好發(fā)脾氣、容易沖動(dòng)的姑娘，她一旦決定干什么就難以自制。

Of course, I did not mind you so much, as you are not connected with the official police,

當(dāng)然我對(duì)你們倒是不太介意，因?yàn)槟銈兣c官廳警察沒有聯(lián)系；

but it is not pleasant to have a family misfortune like this noised abroad.

不過讓這種家庭的不幸張揚(yáng)到社會(huì)上去卻也不是令人高興的事。

Besides, it is a useless expense, for how could you possibly find this Hosmer Angel?"

而且，這是徒勞無益的，因?yàn)槟阍趺纯赡苷业交羲鼓ぐ布獱栠@個(gè)人呢？"

"On the contrary," said Holmes quietly; "I have every reason to believe that I will succeed in discovering Mr. Hosmer Angel."

"恰恰相反，"福爾摩斯平靜地說，“我很有理由相信我會(huì)找到霍斯默·安吉爾先生。"
