＞阿瑟•科南•道尔 1924

＞自从华生在早餐桌前坐下来，他就很专心的盯着他的朋友看个不停。福尔摩斯恰巧抬头，看到了华生的举动。
＞“我说，华生，你在想什么呢？”他问道。
＞“想你啊。”
＞“我？”
＞“是啊，福尔摩斯，我在想你的那些小把戏有多么肤浅，大众至今还对他们感兴趣倒是值得惊讶呢。”
＞“我很同意，”福尔摩斯说，“事实上，我记得自己以前就说过类似的评论。”
＞“你的分析方法，”华生严厉的说，“是很容易掌握的。”
＞“毫无疑问，”福尔摩斯微笑着回答，“也许你可以就这分析方法做个示范。”
＞“乐意效劳。”华生说，“我认为你今天早上起床的时候心事重重。”
＞“好极了！”福尔摩斯说，“你怎么可能知道呢？”
＞“因为你通常是个很爱干净的人，但你居然忘记刮胡子。”
＞“老天啊！真聪明！”福尔摩斯说，“华生，我真没想到你是个这么机灵的学生。你那双敏捷的眼睛还看出什么别的东西吗？”
＞“当然了，福尔摩斯。你有一个叫巴罗的委托人，而且，你在他的问题上并没能获得成功。”
＞“老天啊！你怎么知道的？”
＞“我从那个信封外面看到他的名字。当你打开信封的时候，你很不开心的哼了一下，然后就皱着眉头把它塞进口袋里。”
＞“太棒了！你的确很有观察力。还有其他的吗？”
＞“我觉得，福尔摩斯，你在做投机买卖。”
＞“你怎么知道的，华生？”
＞“你直接翻到报纸的金融版，而且还兴趣盎然的大呼小叫。”
＞“哎，你真是太聪明了，华生。还有吗？”
＞“当然，福尔摩斯，你不穿平常的长晨衣，而是换上黑礼服，这说明你在等待一位很重要的客人。”
＞“还有吗？”
＞“毫无疑问，我还能找到其他的线索。福尔摩斯，但是我就告诉你这些，为的就是向你表明世界上有一些和你一样聪明的人。”
＞“还有一些不那么聪明的。”福尔摩斯说，“我承认，这样的人不多，但是，亲爱的华生，恐怕我必须把你算作其中一个。”
＞“你是什么意思，福尔摩斯？”
＞“哎，我亲爱的朋友，恐怕你的推理并没有我希望的那么成功呢。”
＞“你的意思是我说错了？”
＞“只错了一点点。让我们按顺序说吧：我今天没刮胡子是因为我把刀片送去打磨了。我穿上礼服是因为我很不幸的约好早上去看牙医。牙医的名字是巴罗，这封信是确认我们会面的时间。垒球版正好在金融版旁边，我只是翻过去看看苏里队是不是打赢了肯特队。但是，加油，华生，加油！这是很肤浅的小把戏，毫无疑问，你很快就可以掌握的。”

＞附记：
＞1924年，英国女王的一座漂亮的玩具房子在伦敦展出，里面摆设着美丽的娃娃，精致的小家具，和一座小图书室，书架上摆满了小书。当时，小书里面并没有印字，于是有人提出邀请英国著名的文学家写一些短小的故事，印在这些小书里。科南•道尔爵士也在被邀之列。很快，他就写出了这篇短小精悍的福尔摩斯故事“华生是如何学会小把戏的”。本篇译自《the Final Adventures of Sherlock Holmes》by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Collected and Introduced by Peter Haining, Published by Barnes & Noble Books New York 1995.

＞在＜Final Adventures＞里面我最喜欢的就是这一篇。在下初来乍到，这篇就作为见面礼送给推理之门的朋友。以下附英文原文，若有翻译不当之处，请一定帮忙指出。不胜感激。

＞How Watson Learn the Trick
＞Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1924)
＞
＞Watson had been watching his companion intently ever since he had sat down to the breakfast table. Holmes happened to look up and catch his eye.
＞‘Well, Watson, what are you thinking about?’ he asked.
＞‘About you.’
＞‘Me?’
＞‘Yes, Holmes, I was thinking how superficial are these trick of yours, and how wonderful it is that the public should continue to show interest in them.’
＞‘I quite agree,’ said Holmes. ‘In fact, I have a recollection that I have myself made a similar remark.’
＞‘Your Methods,’ said Watson severely, ‘are really easily acquired.’
＞‘No doubt,’ Holmes answered with a smile. ‘Perhaps you will yourself give an example of this method of reasoning.’
＞‘With pleasure,’ said Watson, ‘I’m able to say that you were greatly preoccupied when you got up this morning.’
＞‘Excellent!’ said Holmes, ‘How could you possibly know that?’
＞‘Because you are usually a very tidy man and yet you have forgotten to shave.’
＞‘Dear me! How very clever!’ said Holmes, ‘I had no idea, Watson, that you were so apt a pupil. Has your eagle eye detected anything more?’
＞‘Yes, Holmes. You have a client named Barlow, and you have not been successful in his case.’
＞‘Dear me, how could you know that?’
＞‘I saw the name outside his envelope. When you opened it you gave a groan and thrust it into your pocket with a frown on your face.’
＞‘Admirable! You are indeed observant. Any other points?’
＞‘I fear, Holmes, that you have taken to financial speculation.’
＞‘How could you tell that, Watson?’
＞‘You opened the paper, turned to the financial page, and gave a loud exclamation of interest.’
＞‘Well, that is very clever of you Watson. Any more?’
＞‘Yes, Holmes, you have put on you black coat, instead of your dressing gown, which proves that you are expecting some important visitor at once.’
＞‘Anything more?’
＞‘I have no doubt that I could find other points, Holmes, but I only give you these few, in order to show you that there are other people in the world who can be as clever as you.’
＞‘And some not so clever,’ said Holmes, ‘I admit that they are few, but I am afraid, my dear Watson, that I must count you among them.’
＞‘What do you mean, Holmes?’
＞‘Well, my dear fellow, I fear your deductions have not been so happy as I should have wished.’
＞‘You mean that I was mistaken.’
＞‘Just a little that way, I fear. Let us take the points in their order: I did not shave because I have sent my razor to be sharpened. I put on my coat because I have, worse luck, an early meeting with my dentist. His name is Barlow, and the letter was to confirm the appointment. The cricket page is beside the financial one, and I turned to it to find if Surrey was holding its own against Kent. But, go on, Watson, go on!’ It is a very superficial trick, and no doubt you will soon acquire it.’
