聊一聊關(guān)于福爾摩斯的小說，福爾摩斯和華生住在哪里
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A:Hi, Nete, what are you reading?
 
嗨，內(nèi)特，你在讀什么呢？
 
B:A study in Scarlet. Have you heard of it?
 
《血字的研究 》，你聽過這本小說嗎？
 
A:Oh, yes. The hero of this novel is Sherlock Holmes,And I'm a huge fan of Holmes.
 
當(dāng)然了。這本小說的主人公是福爾摩斯。我是福爾摩斯的大粉絲。
 
B:Holmes is renowned for his astute observation and deductive reasoning. And he uses forensic skills to solve difficult cases.
 
福爾摩斯因他敏銳的觀察力和演繹推理能力而享譽于世。他還運用法醫(yī)技巧來解決疑案。
 
A:Every novel that featured in Holmes is so thrilling that you could hardly bear to put it down.
 
每一本關(guān)于福爾摩斯的小說都精彩得讓人愛不釋手。
 
B:I can’t agree with you more. As soon as I buy a novel about Holmes, I'll read it at a stretch.
 
你說的太對了。每買一本福爾摩斯的小說，我都會一口氣把它讀完。
 
A:Of the Sherlock Holmes novels, The Hound of the Baskervilles is probably the best known. It has been  made into a film over twenty times with adaptations in languages as diverse as Indian, German, Russian and Italian.
 
在福爾摩斯的小說系列中，《巴斯克維爾的獵犬》可能是最有名的。它至少20次被改編為電影，以印度語、德語、俄語和意大利語等多種語言呈現(xiàn)。
 
B: That one is my favorite, too. And I’m interested not only in Holmes but also Watson.
 
《巴斯克維爾的獵犬》也是我最喜歡的小說。我不僅對福爾摩斯著迷，而且對華生也很感興趣。
 
A: In the novel, Holmes shared the majority of his professional years with his good friend Watson. Watson Lived with Holmes for some time before he got married in 1887，and again after his wife’s death.
 
在小說里，福爾摩斯職業(yè)生涯的大部分時光是和他的好朋友華生一起度過的。華生在1887年結(jié)婚之前，和福爾摩斯住了一段時間，他妻子去世后，又和福爾摩斯住在一起了。
 
B: Watson has two roles in Holmes’ life. First, he gives practical assistance in the conduct of HolmesJ cases; second, he is Holmes1 chronicler.
 
華生在福爾摩斯的生活中扮演著兩個角色。首先，在福爾摩斯破案的過程中，華生給與了他很多幫助。其次，他還是福爾摩斯破案的記錄者。
 
A: Yes, most of the Holmes stories are frame narratives, written from Watson’s point of view as summaries of the detective’s most interesting cases.
 
是啊，絕大多數(shù)福爾摩斯故事都遵循著相同的敘事模式，都是借華生之口講述福爾摩斯精彩的斷案故事。
 
B: Where did Holmes and Watson live?
 
福爾摩斯和華生住在哪里？
 
A: They lived in London at 221B Baker Street. This real house has been converted into a museum and is the first museum in the world to be dedicated to a fictional character.
 
他們住在倫敦貝克街221B號。這個真實存在的房子已經(jīng)被改造成一個博物館。這是世界上第一個為虛構(gòu)角色而建立的博物館。
 
B: This museum maybe added to the impression that Sherlock Holmes really existed.
 
有了這個博物館，人們更堅信有夏洛克福爾摩斯這個入存在了。
 
A: Yes, exactly. According to a recent survey, 58% of British people thought that Sherlock Holmes really existed!
 
的確是這樣。不久前的一個調(diào)查顯示，58%的英國人認(rèn)為真的有福爾摩斯這個人！
 
B: And given details in two of the adventures, fans thought that Holmes must have been at the University of Cambridge.
 
從關(guān)于福爾莫斯的小說中兩次探險的細(xì)節(jié)來看，粉絲們認(rèn)為福爾摩斯肯定在劍橋大學(xué)念過書。
 
A: Perhaps Holmes studied biology and anatomy at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, because that offered the greatest number of advantages to Holmes.
 
福爾摩斯可能在劍橋大學(xué)的悉尼蘇塞克斯學(xué)院學(xué)過生物學(xué)和解剖學(xué)，因為這會給福爾摩斯帶來很大幫助。
 
B: The fact is Holmes is the creation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. But Doyle had a love-hate relationship with his most popular creation. He killed Holmes off in a story called “The Final Problem” but the public outcry led him to bring the character back. The fact is Conan Doyle wanted to be respected for his other writing as well.
 
事實上福爾摩斯是阿瑟.柯南道爾爵士虛構(gòu)出來的角色。但是道爾爵士對這個最受歡迎的角色愛恨交加。在《最后一案》里，他把福爾摩斯“消滅’掉了，但是公眾的義憤迫使他讓福爾摩斯"死而復(fù)生"。事實上柯南道爾希望他能夠因其他的作品而受到尊重。
 
A: By the way, have you watched the movie Sherlock Holmes starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law.
 
對了，你看過由小羅伯特唐尼和裘德洛主演的電影《大偵探福爾摩斯》嗎？
 
B: Well, I'm going to watch it this weekend. I have watched the trailer of Sherlock Holmes and it seems quite nice.
 
我打算周末去看。我已經(jīng)看了這部電影的預(yù)告片了，看起來還不錯。
 
A: In the Guinness book of World Records Sherlock Holmes is listed as the most portrayed movie character with over 70 actors playing the part in over 200 films.
 
在吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄中，夏洛克福爾摩斯這個電影角色的扮演者是史上最多的，曾有70多個演員分別在200多部電影中扮演過福爾摩斯。
