“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. Where do you think that I have been?”
世上充满了显而易见的事，却没有人会去留意。你认为我去了哪里？
出自“Chapter 3. The Problem”
“Say, rather, into the region where we balance probabilities and choose the most likely. It is the scientific use of the imagination, but we have always some material basis on which to start our speculation. Now, you would call it a guess, no doubt, but I am almost certain that this address has been written in a hotel.”
不如说，是进入了一个权衡可能性、挑选最可能情况的领域。这是想象力的科学运用，但我们总得有一些物质基础来开始推测。现在，你无疑会称之为猜测，但我几乎可以肯定，这个地址是在一家旅馆里写下的。
出自“Chapter 4. Sir Henry Baskerville”
“The hound!” cried Holmes. “Come, Watson, come! Great heavens, if we are too late!”
「那猎犬！」福尔摩斯喊道。「来，华生，来！天哪，要是我们太迟了！」
出自“Chapter 12. Death on the Moor”
“I am more to blame than you, Watson. In order to have my case well rounded and complete, I have thrown away the life of my client. It is the greatest blow which has befallen me in my career. But how could I know—how could I know—that he would risk his life alone upon the moor in the face of all my warnings?”
「我比你更该受责备，华生。为了让我的案子圆满完整，我断送了我当事人的性命。这是我职业生涯中遭受的最大打击。但我怎么会知道，我怎么会知道，他会不顾我的一切警告，独自在荒原上冒生命危险呢？」
出自“Chapter 12. Death on the Moor”
“Watson,” said the baronet, “it was the cry of a hound.”
「华生，」准男爵说，「那是猎犬的叫声。」
出自“Chapter 9. The Light upon the Moor [Second Report of Dr. Watson]”
“One cannot always have the success for which one hopes. An investigator needs facts and not legends or rumours. It has not been a satisfactory case.”
「人不可能总是得到自己所希望的成功。调查者需要的是事实，而不是传说或流言。这个案子并不令人满意。」
出自“Chapter 12. Death on the Moor”
“About sending you. It’s an ugly business, Watson, an ugly dangerous business, and the more I see of it the less I like it. Yes, my dear fellow, you may laugh, but I give you my word that I shall be very glad to have you back safe and sound in Baker Street once more.”
「关于派你去的事。这是件丑恶的事，华生，一件丑恶而危险的事，我越看越不喜欢。是的，我亲爱的朋友，你可以笑，但我向你保证，我会非常高兴看到你平安无事地回到贝克街。」
出自“Chapter 5. Three Broken Threads”
“Indeed. That is very interesting. Well, good-bye,” he added as the train began to glide down the platform. “Bear in mind, Sir Henry, one of the phrases in that queer old legend which Dr. Mortimer has read to us, and avoid the moor in those hours of darkness when the powers of evil are exalted.”
「的确。这非常有趣。好吧，再见，」火车开始滑下站台时，他补充道。「记住，亨利爵士，莫蒂默医生给我们念过的那段古怪古老传说中的一句话，在那些黑暗的时刻，当邪恶势力猖獗时，避开荒原。」
出自“Chapter 6. Baskerville Hall”
“A touch, Watson—an undeniable touch!” said he. “I feel a foil as quick and supple as my own. He got home upon me very prettily that time. So his name was Sherlock Holmes, was it?”
「一击，华生，无可否认的一击！」他说。「我觉得他的剑像我自己的一样敏捷而柔韧。那一次他漂亮地回击了我。那么他的名字是歇洛克·福尔摩斯，是吗？」
出自“Chapter 5. Three Broken Threads”
“The original hound was material enough to tug a man’s throat out, and yet he was diabolical as well.”
「原来的猎犬足够真实，能把人的喉咙扯出来，然而它也是恶魔般的。」
出自“Chapter 3. The Problem”
“Yes, the setting is a worthy one. If the devil did desire to have a hand in the affairs of men—”
「是的，背景很相称。如果魔鬼真的想插手人间事务的话……」

“I cannot explain.” She spoke in a low, eager voice, with a curious lisp in her utterance. “But for God’s sake do what I ask you. Go back and never set foot upon the moor again.”
「我无法解释。」她低声急切地说，说话时带着一种奇怪的咬舌音。「但看在上帝的份上，请照我说的做。回去吧，再也不要踏上荒原一步。」
出自“Chapter 7. The Stapletons of Merripit House”
“My unhappy brother is starving on the moor. We cannot let him perish at our very gates. The light is a signal to him that food is ready for him, and his light out yonder is to show the spot to which to bring it.”
「我不幸的弟弟正在荒原上挨饿。我们不能让他在我们的大门口丧命。那灯光是给他的信号，表示食物已经为他准备好了，而他在那边的灯光则是为了指示把食物送到哪里。」
出自“Chapter 9. The Light upon the Moor [Second Report of Dr. Watson]”
“Then the clothes have been the poor devil’s death,” said he. “It is clear enough that the hound has been laid on from some article of Sir Henry’s—the boot which was abstracted in the hotel, in all probability—and so ran this man down. There is one very singular thing, however: How came Selden, in the darkness, to know that the hound was on his trail?”
「那么衣服就是这可怜虫的死因了，」他说。「很清楚，猎犬是循着亨利爵士的某件物品追来的，很可能是在旅馆里被拿走的那只靴子，就这样追上了这个人。不过，有一件非常奇怪的事：塞尔登在黑暗中怎么知道猎犬在追踪他呢？」
出自“Chapter 12. Death on the Moor”
“He may find his way in, but never out,” she cried. “How can he see the guiding wands tonight? We planted them together, he and I, to mark the pathway through the mire. Oh, if I could only have plucked them out today. Then indeed you would have had him at your mercy!”
「他也许能找到进去的路，但永远出不来，」她喊道。「今晚他怎么能看见那些指路的木棍呢？是我和他一起种下的，用来标记穿过泥沼的小路。哦，要是我今天能把它们拔掉就好了。那样的话，你就真的可以把他握在手心里了！」
