TRANSLATION 译文

　　'Life in London is not what it was,' said Sherlock Holmes to Dr Watson. They were sitting at the breakfast table in their Baker Street rooms one morning in the summer of 1894. Holmes was smoking a cigarette and Watson was reading the newspaper.
　　'True, Holmes,' said the doctor. 'For most people life is much better now.'
　　'Sometimes I don't understand you, Holmes,' said Watson. 'I like living a quiet life myself.'
　　'Who are you, sir?' asked Watson. 'And what do you want?'
　　The young man looked at Watson, then at Holmes, and started to explain.
　　'I'm sorry, Mr Holmes, I'm sorry,' he said. 'Please don't be angry. I feel so afraid, Mr Holmes.'
　　Holmes asked the young man to come into the room and told him to sit down.
　　'Have a cigarette,' he said, 'and tell us who you are and why you have come here.'
　　The man took a cigarette from the box on the table, and Watson lit it for him. After some minutes he stopped shaking and spoke.
　　'My name is John McFarlane,' he began. Neither Holmes nor Watson knew the name.
