"To be honest, sir, you really flatter me.
昨天道森老男爵还打 赌说，我这个人，干了法律，亏了戏剧界了。

怎么你今天也来抬举我的小小化装技术了？”
Why did you come to praise my little make-up technique today? "

“那难道——是你本人么？”
"Is that-are you yourself?"

福尔摩斯耸了耸肩。
Holmes shrugged his shoulders.
"你看墙角那把阳伞，就是你开始怀疑我以前在敏诺里替我拾起来的。”
"Look at the parasol in the corner, it is you who began to suspect that I used to pick it up for me in Minnori. "

“为什么？
"why?
为了玩——为了刺激——为了冒险。”
For fun-for excitement-for adventure. "

"Also to get rid of the country?"

“正是。”
"Exactly."

“这也正是我的理由！”
"This is my reason!"
