Today, I’d like to share with you something about John Audubon. John was born on April 26,1785. He spent much of his childhood in France where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States. Well,actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first,John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds, and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn’t have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family, so he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.
英文名著分集阅读 柯南·道尔《福尔摩斯和公爵的儿子》part3Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 单词提示 1.moor 沼泽,荒原 2.inn 旅馆 原文 Chapter 3:Holmes and Watson go north It was dark when we arrived at Dr Huxtable's famous school in the northern hills. We went quickly into the building, out of the cold. And at once,someone ran up with news for Dr Huxtable. He looked very surprised here. "The duke is here," he told us, "The duke and Mr. Wilder, his secretary, are inmy office and come and meet them." The government minister was a tall man with a long, thin face. He had red hair and a great red beard. He looked at us and did not smile. Next to him stood Mr. Wilder, a very young man. He was small,with blue eyes and a watchful face. He spoke first, "The duke is surprised, Dr Huxtable, to see Mr.Sherlock Holmes here. He doesn't want people to know about this, you know that.So why didn't you speak to the duke before you went to London?" "But we need help," said Dr Huxtable, "and I…" "Well,"said the duke, "Mr. Holmes is here now, and perhaps he can help us." He looked at Holmes. "I'd like you to come and stay at Holderness Hall. Mr. Holmes." "Thank you, sir," said Holmes, "but I would like to stay near to the mystery here at the school. Can I ask you one or two questions, perhaps?" "Of course," said the duke. "My questions are about the duchess and about money," said Holmes. "The duchess knows nothing about this," said the duke, "And nobody is asking me for money." "I see,"said Holmes. "You wrote a letter to your son before he disappeared. When did you post it?" "Post it?" said Mr. Wilder angrily, "The duke does not post letters. I put the letter into the post bag with all the other letters that day." A minute or two later, the Duke and Mr. Wilder left. Holmes then began at once to work on the case. We looked carefully all through the boy's bedroom and the German teacher's room. We looked at the ivy on the wall and we saw the footprints under the German teacher's window, but we learnt nothing new. Holmes then left the house and only came back after 11 o'clock. He had with him a large map. He brought it into my room and put it on the bed. "This case is beginning to get interesting, Watson," he said, "look at this map, here is the school, you see, and here is the road, so did the boy and the teacher go along the road when they left? No,Watson, they did not." "How do you know that, Holmes?" I asked. "Because there was a policeman here. Look, he was there from midnight to 6 in the morning and he saw nobody on the road. I spoke to him this evening. And here at the other end, you see, is the white house in. A woman there was ill and the family watched the road all night waiting for the doctor.The doctor didn't come until the morning, and the family saw nobody on the road, so the boy and the teacher did not go by road." "But Holmes, what about the bicycle?" I asked. "Yes, Watson, we must remember the bicycle, of course. But first, let's look to the south and the north. To the south, we have a big river, no bicycles there then. And to the north, we have the trees called Ragged Shore, and then a great moor, the Lower Gilmore. And here is Holderness Hall, 16 km from the school by road, but only 9 km across the moor, no other houses until the Green Man Inn along the Chesterfield Road." "But the bicycle," I said again. "Yes,yes, Watson," Holmes said, "it is possible to ride a bicycle across the moor, difficult, but possible." Just then, Dr Huxtable came quickly into the room. "News, Mr.Holmes," he said excitedly, "I bring news." In his hands was a blue school hat. "Look,this is the boy's hat, one of my gardeners found it this evening. "Where? Man,where?" asked Holmes. "Just north of Ragged Shore," said Dr Huxtable. "Aha,"said Holmes, "what did I tell you? Watson, tomorrow we must walk north across the moor." 翻译 第三章:福尔摩斯与华生北上 当我们抵达位于北部山区的赫克斯特博士那所著名学校时,天色已晚。 为了躲避严寒,我们匆匆走进了大楼。 刚一进门,就有人跑来给赫克斯特博士报信。 他看起来非常惊讶。“公爵在这里,”他告诉我们,“公爵和他的秘书怀尔德先生正在我的办公室里,快去见见他们。” 那位政府大臣是个高个子,脸型瘦长。 他有一头红发和浓密的红色胡须。 他看着我们,脸上没有一丝笑意。 站在他旁边的是怀尔德先生,一个非常年轻的男子。 他身材矮小,蓝眼睛,神情警惕。 怀尔德先开口了:“公爵很惊讶会在这里看到夏洛克·福尔摩斯先生。你知道,他不想让公众知道这件事。所以为什么你在去伦敦之前不先跟公爵说一声呢?” “但是我们需要帮助,”赫克斯特博士说,“而且我……” “好吧,”公爵说道,“既然福尔摩斯先生已经到了,也许他能帮上我们的忙。” 他看向福尔摩斯,“福尔摩斯先生,我想请你去霍尔德内斯府邸住下。” “谢谢您,先生,”福尔摩斯回答,“但我更愿意待在学校附近,方便调查这个谜团。或许我可以问您一两个问题吗?” “当然可以,”公爵说。 “我的问题是关于公爵夫人和钱的,”福尔摩斯说。 “公爵夫人对此一无所知,”公爵回答道,“而且没有人向我要钱。” “我明白了,”福尔摩斯说,“您在儿子失踪前给他写过一封信。您是什么时候寄出的?” “寄出?”怀尔德生气地说,“公爵从不亲自寄信。那天是我把那封信和其他所有的信件一起放进邮袋里的。” 一两分钟后,公爵和怀尔德先生离开了。 随后,福尔摩斯立刻开始着手调查这个案子。 我们仔细地检查了那个男孩的卧室和那位德语老师的房间。 我们查看了墙上的常春藤,也观察了德语老师窗下的脚印,但并没有发现什么新线索。 接着福尔摩斯离开了房子,直到11点过后才回来。 他带着一张大地图。他把地图带进我的房间,铺在床上。 “华生,这个案子开始变得有趣了,”他说,“看看这张地图,这里是学校,你看,这里是公路。那么,那个男孩和老师离开时是沿着公路走的吗?不,华生,他们没有。” “你怎么知道的,福尔摩斯?”我问。 “因为这里当时有一名警察。看,他从午夜一直值守到早上6点,他在路上没看见任何人。我今天晚上和他谈过了。还有,在另一头,你看,那里有一所白房子。那家有个女人病了,全家人整晚都在盯着路等医生。医生直到早上才来,而那家人也没在路上看到任何人。所以,那个男孩和老师不是走公路离开的。” “可是福尔摩斯,那辆自行车呢?”我问。 “是的,华生,我们当然必须考虑到那辆自行车。但首先,让我们看看南边和北边。往南,有一条大河,那里没法骑自行车。往北,有一片叫‘拉格德肖尔’的树林,然后是一片巨大的荒原,叫做下吉尔莫荒原。这里是霍尔德内斯府邸,走公路离学校有16公里,但穿过荒原只有9公里。沿着切斯特菲尔德公路,在到达绿人旅馆之前没有其他房屋。” “但是那辆自行车,”我又说了一遍。 “是的,是的,华生,”福尔摩斯说,“骑自行车穿过荒原是有可能的,虽然困难,但是可行。” 就在这时,赫克斯特博士快步走进了房间。 “消息,福尔摩斯先生,”他激动地说,“我有消息了。” 他手里拿着一顶蓝色的学生帽。 “看,这是那个男孩的帽子,我的一个园丁今晚发现的。” “在哪里?伙计,在哪里?”福尔摩斯问道。 “就在拉格德肖尔的北边,”赫克斯特博士说。

M: Oh, I'm sorry, doctor. I didn't hear the bell, or I would have left earlier. Text2 M: Hello, my name is Jack. I need to get in shape. How do I register for the classes? M: We'll need you to join the gym, and then you could find out which classes fit your schedule the best. Text3 W: I'll see you at the theater. M: Better still, let's meet in the Red Lion bar to have a nice little talk. W: Good idea. And I'd love to have a drink there. Text4 M: Hello, my name is John Arbor. And I'm calling to ask about the position advertised in Friday's Daily Mail. M: Yes, the position is still open.You could come over and have a talk with us. Text5 M: I have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. Would you like to join me? W: Thanks! But I already have one. You can ask Emily. She might be interested. Text6 W: Did you know James went out of business? M: Really? When was that? W: Last month. M: That's too bad. He had owned that business for 15 years. What happened? W: I don't know. But life must be pretty tough for his family now. His sons are still so young; one is 13, and the other is ten. M: Well, maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be. W: I hope so. Text7 W: Guess what? My mother's decided to go back to school! M: Why? W: Well, she always loved art, but learned business administration at college because her parents thought it was difficult for an artist to find a job. M: So, she wants to study art now? W: Yeah, oil painting. It's been her dream for a long time. M: It's nice to return to learn what she loves. But, Kate, I still think old age should be about peace and relaxation.Hurrying to school every day and having to pass exams sounds a bit too much for her. W: You know, she retired last year and I'm leaving for the university soon. She needs to find something interesting to do. M: Well, maybe, if it's what she wants. Text8 M: Dear listeners, for today's show, I have with my colleague, Mary Laney. She has been a radio TV reporter for many years.Mary, welcome to our show. W: It's a pleasure to be here. M: Would you please tell our listeners who most influenced your decision to become are porter? W: Both my parents had a great influence upon my choices of work. Instead of trying to pick out a job for me, they helped me learn those things that led me to it. M: How did they do that? W: My father always told me that an education was one of the greatest advantages I could have, one that would always stay with me. He used to tell me that readers were leaders, and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I've always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read news magazines and learned to really enjoy books,all of which have been an invaluable help to me in radio and television reporting. M: What about your mother? W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way. Text9 M: We all know that exercise is good for us. But sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa. W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise. M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn't really help our motivation much. W: Don't be discouraged. Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn't have to be that demanding.Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University, has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks. M: Hmm...interesting. W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20%lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercise 150 minutes a week did pretty well, too,lowering their death risk by 14%. M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that, like what I probably do? Does that help? W: Of course. Even 15 minutes would help. Text10 W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers.Scientists have painted a long road red, yellow, and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. "The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic,"biology student Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngsters' feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multi-colored road this summer. And if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.

Three weeks ago, Mr. James Wilder, the Duke of Holderness's secretary, came to see me. The duke, he said, wanted to send his son, the 10-year-old Lord Saltire, to my school. On 1 May,young Lord Saltire arrived. He's a nice boy, and he soon began to like school life and to make friends. His life at home, you see, was not very happy. We all know about the duke and his wife, the Duchess, of course, now lives in the south of France. She left the duke about three months ago, I think. But the boy loved his mother and was very unhappy when she left. Because of this, the duke sent him to my school. And after two weeks with us, he was much happier. Then on the night of 13 May, he disappeared. The way to his bedroom is through another, larger room. Two older boys sleep there. One of them never sleeps very well, and he heard and saw nothing that night. So young Arthur did not go out through that room. His window was open and there is ivy all up the wall of the house. It is easy to get out of the window and down the ivy to the ground. So we think that he went out that way. He was in his usual school things; we think a short black coat and dark blue trousers. We looked all through his room very carefully, but we found nothing strange, nothing unusual. When I learnt the news at 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning, I called everybody into the big schoolroom, then we learnt more bad news. Heidegger, the German teacher, was missing too. His room is not far from Arthur's room. Heidegger went down the ivy. We know this because we found his footprints on the ground under the window. We know too,that he was only in his coat, trousers and shoes, because we found his shirt and his socks on the floor of his room, and he took his bicycle with him. Heidegger came to the school a year ago. He's a good teacher, but the boys don't like him because he isn't very friendly. So Mr. Holmes,we have two missing people, it's now Thursday and there's still no news of them." Holmes took out a little notebook and began to write things down. "The boy didn't go home, of course?" He said. "No, no,we asked at Holderness Hall at once," said Dr Huxtable, "the duke is very afraid for his son,and I am the unhappiest man in England. Mr. Holmes, you are a famous detective,please help me." "You make things very difficult for me," Holmes said, "how can I find marks in the ivy or on the ground after three days? Why didn't you come to me at once?" "Because of the duke," Dr Huxtable said, "he doesn't like people talking about his unhappy family life." "And what are the police doing?" "Well,they heard about a boy and a young man at the station early on Tuesday, they looked for them and last night they found them in Liverpool. But it was a man and his son going to visit a friend. We lost three days because of that. Andlast night, I couldn't sleep, so I took the first train down to London this morning." "Well, Dr Huxtable, some more questions," said Holmes, " did the boy take German lessons?" "No, so he didn't know the German teacher well, then he probably never spoke to him,"said Dr Huxtable. "Emmm", said Holmes, "does the boy have a bicycle?" "No." "Was any other bicycle missing?" "No." "So did the German teacher ride away on his bicycle in the night with the boy on his back?" "I don't think so." "But what happened to the bicycle? Now, what about visitors? Did the boy have any visitors the day before?" "No." "Did he get any letters?" "Yes, one letter from his father." "Do you open the boy's letters? Dr Huxtable." "No." "Then how do you know that the letter was from the father?" "I know the duke's handwriting and he says that he wrote a letter to his son." "Did the boy get any letters from France?" "No, I never saw any." "Do you understand me? Dr Huxtable," Holmes said, "did someone take the boy away, or did the boy go freely because he had a letter from France?" "Perhaps?I don't know," said Dr Huxtable, "he only had letters from his father,I think." "Were father and son very friendly?" "The duke is not chump, not a very friendly man, Mr. Holmes. He's not a bad father, but he is a government minister and has a lot of things to do." "So the boy felt more friendly to his mother?" "Yes." "Did he say that?" "No." "Did the duke tell you that?" "Oh no,the duke never talks about things like that." "So how do you know?" "Mr.James Wilder, the duke's secretary told me." "I see,"said Holmes, "that last letter of the duke. Where is it now?" "The boy took it with him," Dr Huxtable said, "it's not in his room. Mr.Holmes." "Our train leaves in half an hour, right?" said Holmes. He looked at me, "Watson, let's get ready and go off to the north with Dr Huxtable,perhaps we can find some answers to this mystery." 翻译 第二章:赫克斯特博士的故事 “我的学校——位于马克勒顿附近的修道院公学,是英格兰最适合男孩就读的学校,”赫克斯特博士开始说道, “我们的学生中有索尔姆斯勋爵、莱弗勋爵的子女,以及许多其他重要人物的子弟。 三周前,霍尔德诺斯公爵的秘书詹姆斯·怀尔德先生来看过我。 他说,公爵想把他的儿子——十岁的萨蒂里勋爵送到我的学校来。 5 月 1 日,年轻的萨蒂里勋爵到了这里。 他是一个很可爱的孩子,很快他就开始喜欢上学生活,并交到了朋友。 你瞧,他在家里的生活并不愉快。 当然,我们都了解那位公爵和他的夫人——公爵夫人如今住在法国南部。 我想,她大约三个月前离开了公爵。 但这个孩子爱他的母亲,母亲离开时他非常难过。 因为这个原因,公爵把他送到了我的学校。 在我们这里待了两周后,他变得开心多了。 然后在 5 月 13 日的晚上,他失踪了。 他去卧室的路要经过另一个较大的房间。 那里住着两个年长的男孩。 其中一人晚上睡得不太好,那天晚上他什么也没听到也没看到。 所以年轻的阿瑟没有从那个房间出去。 他的窗户是开着的,房子的墙上爬满了常春藤。从窗户爬出去,沿着藤蔓滑到地面是很容易的。 所以我们认为他是从那个方向出去的。 他当时穿着平常上学时穿的衣服;我们猜测是一件短款的黑色外套和深蓝色的长裤。 我们仔细地在他的房间里搜查了一遍,但没有发现任何奇怪或不寻常的东西。 周二早上七点我得知这个消息时,把大家召集到了大教室里,然后我们又听到了更多的坏消息。 德国教师海德格尔也失踪了。 他的房间离阿瑟的房间不远。 海德格尔是沿着藤蔓下去的。 因为我们发现窗下的地上有他的脚印,所以我们知道这一点。 我们也知道他只穿着外套、长裤和鞋子,因为我们在他的房间里找到了他的衬衫和袜子,而且他还带着自行车。 海德格尔一年前来到这所学校。 他是一位好老师,但学生们不喜欢他,因为他不太友好。 所以,福尔摩斯先生,我们有两个人失踪了,现在已经是星期四了,还没有他们的消息。” 福尔摩斯拿出一个小笔记本,开始写东西。 “这个男孩没有回家,对吧?”他说。 “不,不,我们立刻就去了霍尔德内斯庄园,”赫克斯特博士说道,“公爵非常担心他的儿子,而我是全英国最不开心的人。福尔摩斯先生,您是一位著名的侦探,请帮帮我吧。” “你让我很为难。”福尔摩斯说,“过了三天,我怎么能在常春藤上或地上找到痕迹呢?您为什么不早点来找我呢?” “因为公爵的缘故,”赫克斯特博士说道,“他不喜欢人们谈论他不幸的家庭生活。” “那警察在做什么呢?” “嗯,周二一大早他们就在局里听说了一个男孩和一个年轻人,就去找了他们,昨晚他们在利物浦找到了他们。但那是个男人和他的儿子,他们去拜访一位朋友。我们因为这个耽搁了三天。昨晚我睡不着,所以今天早上我坐第一班火车去了伦敦。” “赫克斯特博士,还有些问题要问您,”福尔摩斯说道,“那个男孩上过德语课吗?” “没有,所以他和德语老师不太熟,然后他可能从没和他说过话,”赫克斯特博士说道。 “嗯...”福尔摩斯说到,“那男孩有自行车吗?” “不。” “还有其他自行车丢失了吗?” “不。” “那位德国老师是不是在夜间骑着自行车带着那个男孩离开了呢?” “我不这么认为。” “但是那辆自行车后来怎么样了呢?再来说说访客们的情况吧。那天早上,那个男孩有没有接待过什么访客呢?” “不。” “他收到过信件吗?” “是的,有一封是他父亲寄来的信。” “您会打开这个男孩的信件吗?赫克斯特博士。” “不。” “那你怎么知道这封信是父亲写的呢?” “我知道公爵的笔迹,而且他说他给儿子写过一封信。” “这个孩子从法国收到过信吗?” “没有,我从未见过。” “你明白我的意思吗,赫克斯特博士?”福尔摩斯说道,“是有人把这个孩子带走的,还是因为有来自法国的信,这个孩子能自由离开呢?” “也许吧。我不知道,”赫克斯特博士说道,“我觉得他只有父亲的信。” “父子俩关系很亲密吗?” “公爵可不是个傻瓜,也不是个很友善的人,福尔摩斯先生。他不是个坏父亲,但他是个政府官员,有很多事情要处理。” “所以这个孩子对他的母亲更亲近些?” “是的。” “他说过这话吗?” “不。” “公爵跟你说过这事吗?” “没有啊,公爵从不谈论这类事情。” “那你又是怎么知道的?” “是詹姆斯·怀尔德先生告诉我的,他是公爵的秘书。” “我明白了,”福尔摩斯说道,“公爵的最后一封信。现在它在哪里?” “那个孩子把它带走了,”赫克斯特博士说,“不在他的房间里。福尔摩斯先生。” “我们的火车半小时后就要开了,对吧?”福尔摩斯说道。 他看着我,“华生,咱们准备好跟赫克斯塔普医生一起向北出发吧,也许我们能找到答案。”

Thepronunciation is fine with me and its vocabulary is similar to English. But I’mfinding the grammar awful. W: Well, it takes a while to getit right. (Text2) W: I hope you can come to theparty on Saturday. M: I didn’t know I was invited. W: Sure you are! Everyone in ouroffice is invited. (Text3) W: May I help you? M: Yes, when is the next train toLondon? W: Oh, let me check. It leaves intwenty minutes. M: One ticket, please. (Text4) W: Charlie, do you know arestaurant called Bravo? M: Bravo… I know the name. ButI’m not sure where it is. W: It’s on George Street. Thefood there is excellent. (Text5) W: Brian, I just had aninterview. They said they would make a decision soon. M: What are your chances ofgetting the job? W: Quite good. I think theinterview went very well. (Text6) M: Let’s go kite-flying, Judy.It’s such a lovely day. W: OK. But let me finish mychemistry homework first. Would you mind waiting for half an hour, Max? Thereare a few sports magazines on the table. M: Isn’t the chemistry homeworkdue next Wednesday? W: Yeah. But I have a full day ofclasses on Monday and a birthday party to attend on Tuesday. M: All right then, you go ahead.And I’ll catch up on some sports news while waiting. (Text7) W: We’ve been on the computer allthe time lately. Why don’t we do something different Sunday afternoon? M: Well, we could go to aconcert... W: But I don’t think we can getthe tickets this late. M: Then, what about playing acomputer game? There’s a really cool new one we could download. W: Hmm. I don’t know. I feel likeI need to do some exercise. We could probably just walk by the lake, and I’llask Mike to join us. M: That sounds like fun. Let’s doit! (Text8) W: Welcome to our program, Dr.Peterson. Let’s see what questions we’ve got for you today. Here’s one: Cancats see color? M: Sort of. In the wild, manycats hunt at night because their eyes are designed for low light. Your catcan’t see bright colors, such as red and green, but it picks up more shades ofblue, yellow, and gray than humans do. W: And why do cats “give” deadbirds to their owners? M: When your cat drops a deadbird at your feet, she isn’t bringing you a present. Most cats just drag foodhome because it’s a safe place to eat. A cat’s mom also brings home things toher children to help them practice hunting. So a female cat without childrenmay bring these “treats” to her owner instead. You may not like them, but atleast, you don’t have to write her a thank-you note. (Text9) W: How is little Ed doing at thekindergarten, Jack? M: Oh, he’s doing fairly well.It’s been three weeks since he first started going, so Macy and I are prettyused to it now. You should have seen Macy cry when Ed was about to set off onthe first day, though! W: I think that’s a normalreaction for mothers. You live quite close to the kindergarten, don’t you? Howdoes he get there? M: Macy walks there with himevery morning, unless the weather is bad. When it rains, they’ll drive. W: And is Ed enjoyingkindergarten? M: Yeah, he loves to have otherkids to play with. He keeps telling us things they do together. W: What do the teachers at thekindergarten say about him? M: They said he is bright andthat he’s starting to learn how to tell time. Isn’t that fantastic? W: That is fantastic. It soundslike everything goes well. (Text10) W: My name is Emily. I had been adancer for quite a long time—I started studying ballet when I was six yearsold. By the time I was nine, I was dancing five days a week. When I waseighteen, I decided that I really preferred contemporary dance and that I wantedto do it professionally. So, I applied successfully for the training program atthe School of Toronto Dance Theater and moved to Toronto to attend the program.That was the period of time I enjoyed most in Toronto. I graduated onscholarship and danced professionally for ten years, but after all those years,I found that dance was gradually becoming something that felt like more of aburden than a joy; I found myself increasingly unwilling to drag myself todance performances, so I quit. I do miss dance often, but it makes me happy tothink that I’ll never have to go to another training session again.
英文名著分集阅读 柯南·道尔《福尔摩斯和公爵的儿子》part1Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 单词提示 1.kidnapping 绑架 原文 Chapter 1: Sherlock Holmes has a Visitor When visitors came to see Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street, they often did surprising things. Sometimes,they put their heads in their hands and cried. Sometimes,they talked and talked and couldn't stop. And sometimes,they just sat there and didn't say a word. But nobody was more surprising than Dr Thorneycroft Huxtable. He was a large man, tall, well dressed, and important looking. He came into the room, walked to one of the big chairs, and suddenly fell into it. He sat there with his eyes closed, looking white and ill. I ran to get some water for him, then I got my Dr's bag and looked at him carefully. "What is it, Watson?" said Holmes. "He's all right, I think, " I said, "He's just very, very tired and probably hungry, too. " Holmes looked in the man's pockets and found a train ticket from Mackleton in the north of England. "Mackleton? That's a long way," said Holmes, "it'snot 12 o'clock yet, so he probably left home before 5 o'clock this morning." After a minute or two, the man began to move and his eyes opened. A second later,he got quickly to his feet. His face was now red and unhappy. "Mr.Holmes, I am so sorry I forgot to eat or drink anything this morning, that's why I felt ill." "When you feel better?" I began. "I'm better now. Thank you," said our visitor, "and I want very much to talk to Mr. Holmes to ask him something. Please, Mr.Holmes, come back to Mackleton to with me by the next train." "I'm sorry, that's not possible," said Holmes, "I'm working on two important cases, the Ferris case and the Abergavenny case. I cannot leave London at the moment." "Important cases? "our visitor cried, "but this case is very important too. You know about the kidnapping of the son of the Duke of Holderness three days ago." "What? The government minister?" "Yes, that's so you didn't know, it's not in the newspapers yet, that's true." "But Sherlock Holmes always hears news before other people."I thought. Holmes went to get one of his books and began to read the page about the Duke of Holderness. "Holderness,6th Duke. Wife: Edith, daughter of Lord Grey. One child: Lord Arthur Saltire,houses in London, Lancashire and Wales. Government minister for this, for that, for the other. Well,well…" said Holmes, "he's one of the greatest men in the country." "One of the greatest and one of the richest," said Dr Huxtable, "I know, Mr.Holmes, that you don't work for money, but I must tell you this. The duke is offering 5000 pounds for news of his son and another 1000 pounds for the name of his kidnapper." "That,"said Holmes, "is a most interesting offer." He looked at me. "Watson,I think we are going with Dr Huxtable back to the north of England this afternoon." Holmes then looked at Dr Huxtable. "Now, sir, tell me everything, what happened, when did it happen, how did it happen, and why does Dr Thorneycroft Huxtable come to ask for my help three days later?" Our visitor drank some water and began his story. 翻译 第一章:夏洛克·福尔摩斯迎来访客 当访客们来到贝克街看望夏洛克·福尔摩斯时,他们常常会做出一些令人惊讶的举动。 有时,他们会双手抱头哭泣。 有时,他们会不停地交谈,无法停止。 还有时,他们只是静静地坐着,一言不发。 但没有人比索恩克罗夫特·赫克斯特博士更令人惊讶了。 他是个身材高大、衣着讲究、看上去很有身份的男人。 他走进房间,走到一张大椅子前,突然就瘫坐在了椅子上。 他闭着眼睛坐在那里,脸色苍白,看起来病恹恹的。 我跑去给他拿来一些水,然后拿上我的医生包,仔细地打量着他。 “怎么了,华生?”福尔摩斯问道。 “我觉得他没事,”我说,“他只是非常非常疲惫,可能还饿了。” 福尔摩斯查看了那个人的口袋,发现里面有一张从英格兰北部麦克勒顿出发的火车票。 “麦克勒顿?那可远着呢,”福尔摩斯说,“现在才 12 点,所以他大概是在今天早上 5 点前就离开家的。” 过了一两分钟,那个人开始动起来,眼睛也睁开了。 片刻之后,他迅速站了起来。 他的脸现在红了,显得很不高兴。“福尔摩斯先生,非常抱歉,我今天早上竟然什么都没吃也没喝,所以才身体不适。” “那你感觉好些了吗?”我问道。 “现在好多了。谢谢你。”我们的访客说道,“我非常想和福尔摩斯先生谈谈,向他请教一些问题。拜托了,福尔摩斯先生,能和我一起乘坐下一班火车回到麦克勒顿吗?” “很抱歉,这不行。”福尔摩斯说道,“我目前正忙于处理两起重要的案件,费里斯案和阿伯加文尼案。此刻我无法离开伦敦。” “重要的案件?”访客惊呼道,“但这个案子也很重要。你知道三天前霍尔德伦斯公爵的儿子被绑架的事吧。” “什么?那位政府部长?” “是的,这样你就不知道这件事了,因为它还没有登报,这是真的。” “但夏洛克·福尔摩斯总是比其他人更早得知消息。”我想。 福尔摩斯去拿了一本书,然后开始阅读有关霍尔德内斯公爵的那一章节。 “霍尔德内斯,第六代公爵。妻子:伊迪丝,格雷勋爵的女儿。有一个孩子:亚瑟·萨特里勋爵,他在伦敦、兰开夏和威尔士都有房产。担任这个部门、那个部门、其他部门的政府部长。嗯,嗯……”福尔摩斯说道,“他是这个国家最杰出的人物之一。” “他是最杰出的,也是最富有的之一。”赫克斯特博士说道,“福尔摩斯先生,我知道您不为金钱工作,但我必须告诉您这件事。这位公爵出价 5000 英镑想要获取有关他儿子的消息,另外还出价 1000 英镑想要知道绑架他的凶手的名字。” “那,”福尔摩斯说道,“这是一个非常有趣的提议。” 他看向我。 “华生,我觉得今天下午我们会和赫克斯塔布尔医生一起回到英格兰北部。” 然后霍姆斯看向赫克斯塔布尔医生。 “现在,先生,请告诉我一切,发生了什么,什么时候发生的,是怎么发生的,还有为什么索恩克罗夫特·赫克斯特博士三天后会来向我求助?” 我们的访客喝了些水,开始讲述他的故事。

W: Well, thank you. I will be in touch. (Text10) M: Thank you very much. Thank you, Dr. Johnson. Well, it is really great to be back at university again. The thing that I wanted to tell you today is this: Education is important. When I came to the U.S., I was only thinking about being a carpenter. But I could not read the newspaper, and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this. So I entered the City College to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college, because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you’re 15 years old in my country,you finish school and then learn a trade, and that’s exactly what I did. When I was 15 years old, I learned how to be a carpenter. A year later I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes, and history classes, and I became a full-time college student. And today, when I look back, I’m so happy because you never know where life will take you. All of a sudden I started making money because I was really good at math. You know, how to work out everything with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which is doing really well.
