The Stolen Tent | 失窃的帐篷

English Original

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they retired for the night.

Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?" Holmes asked.

Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."

"What does it tell you?" Watson inquired.

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you idiot. Somebody has stolen our tent!"


中文翻译

夏洛克·福尔摩斯和华生医生进行了一次露营旅行。享用完美餐和一瓶葡萄酒后,他们便躺下休息了。

几小时后,福尔摩斯醒来,轻轻推了推他忠实的朋友。"华生,抬头看看天空,告诉我你看到了什么。"

华生回答:"我看到了数以百万计的星星。"

"这告诉了你什么?"福尔摩斯问道。

华生沉思了片刻。"从天文学角度,它告诉我存在数百万个星系和可能数十亿颗行星。从占星学角度,我观察到土星正在狮子座。从计时学角度,我推断时间大约是三点一刻。从神学角度,我能看到上帝是全能的,而我们是渺小且微不足道的。从气象学角度,我推测明天会是个好天气。"

"那它告诉了你什么?"华生反问道。

福尔摩斯沉默了片刻,然后说道:"华生,你这个白痴。有人偷了我们的帐篷!"
