-God, I had six months of bristly kisses for me and then his nibs turns up…
-I don't shave for Sherlock Holmes.
-You should put that on a T-shirt.
-天啊，我蹭了六个月的胡子，那家伙一冒出来…
-我刮胡子不是因为夏洛克·福尔摩斯。
-这话你应该印在T恤上。
bristly：有硬毛的；易怒的。
nib：钢笔尖；嘴；鹅管笔的尖端。

London, it's like a great cesspool into which all kinds of criminals, agents and drifters are irresistibly drained. Sometimes it's not a question of who, it's a question of who knows? If this man cancels his papers, I need to know. If this woman leaves London without putting her dog into kennels, I need to know. I have certain people, they are markers. If they start to move, I'll know something's up. Like rats deserting a sinking ship.
伦敦，就像个巨大的污水池。各种罪犯、特工、流浪汉混杂其中。有时候不是谁的问题，而是谁知道的问题。如果这个人取消订报，通知我。如果这个女人离开伦敦却没送狗去寄养，通知我。有些人是我的标记，如果他们开始移动，就意味着有事情将会发生。就像老鼠会逃离下沉的船一样。
cesspool：污水坑；粪坑；污秽场所。
drifter： 流浪汉；漂流物；漂网渔船。
kennel：狗屋；养狗场；[建] 阴沟；一群狗。

-I used to think I was an idiot.
-Both of us thought you were an idiot, Sherlock. We had nothing else to go on, until we met other children.
-Oh, yes, that was a mistake.
-Ghastly. What were they thinking of?
-Probably something about trying to make friends.
-我以前以为我是个白痴。
-我也以为你是个白痴，夏洛克。在认识别的孩子之前，我们都这么认为。
-是啊，真不该跟别的孩子交往。
-可不是。他们那时候脑袋里都装着什么啊？
-大概是交朋友什么的吧。
ghastly：可怕的；惨白的；惊人的；极坏的。
高智商的福家两兄弟开始赤裸裸的鄙视正常人的智商……

-He gets into the last car at Westminster. The only passenger. And the car is empty at St James's Park Station. Explain that, Mr Holmes.
-Couldn't he have just jumped off?
-There's a safety mechanism that prevents the doors from opening in transit. But there's something else, the driver of that train hasn't been to work since. According to his flatmate, he's on holiday. Came into some money.
-他在威斯敏斯特站上了末节车厢是唯一的乘客，而车厢到圣詹姆斯公园站却空了，解释一下吧，福尔摩斯先生。
-说不定他跳下去了。
-我们有安全机制防止车厢门，在列车运行时开启。还有一件事，列车驾驶员从那之后就没来上班，他的室友说他去度假了，收获了意外之财。
transit：运输；经过。
福尔摩斯通过地铁监控录像，发现了一个难以解释的疑点和线索，这与他正在调查的恐怖袭击案究竟有何关系？
