We sat in silence for some minutes, Holmes more depressed and shaken than I had ever seen him.
我们默默地坐了几分钟，福尔摩斯意气沮丧，深受震惊的神情是我从未见过的。
"That hurts my pride, Watson," he said at last.
"这件事伤了我的自尊心，华生，"他终于开口说道，
"It is a petty feeling, no doubt, but it hurts my pride.
"虽然这是一种偏狭的感情，但它是伤了我的自尊心。
It becomes a personal matter with me now, and, if God sends me health, I shall set my hand upon this gang.
现在这成为我个人的事了。如上帝假我以天年，我就要亲手解决这帮家伙。
That he should come to me for help, and that I should send him away to his death...!"
他跑来向我求救，而我竟然把他打发走去送死...！"
He sprang from his chair and paced about the room in uncontrollable agitation,
他从椅子里一跃而起，在房中踱来踱去，情绪激动，难以抑制。
with a flush upon his sallow cheeks and a nervous clasping and unclasping of his long thin hands.
他深陷的双颊上浮现赧颜，两只瘦长的手不安地一会儿手指交叉着紧握在一起，一会儿又松开。

"They must be cunning devils," he exclaimed at last.
最后，他大声说道："他们这帮魔鬼真是狡猾透了。
"How could they have decoyed him down there? The Embankment is not on the direct line to the station.
他们怎么能够把他骗到那儿去的呢？那堤岸并不在直达车站的路线上呀！
The bridge, no doubt, was too crowded, even on such a night, for their purpose.
对于达到他们的目的来说，即使在这样一个黑夜，在那座桥上无疑也是人太多了。
Well, Watson, we shall see who will win in the long run. I am going out now!" "To the police?"
唉，华生，咱们瞧着吧，看谁最后取得胜利！我现在就要出去了！""去找警察吗？"
"No; I shall be my own police. When I have spun the web they may take the flies, but not before."
"不，我自己来当警察。等我结好了网，就可以来捕捉苍蝇了。可是要在结好网之后捕捉。"
