Sherlock Holmes and Waston were camping in the forest. They had gone to bed and were lying beneath the night sky.
夏洛克·福尔摩斯和华生在森林里野营。他们已经上床睡觉,躺在夜空下。
Holmes said, “Waston, look up. What do you see?”
福尔摩斯说:“华生,抬头看。你看到了什么东西?”
“I see thousands of stars.”
“我看见了成千上万颗星星。”
“And what does that mean to you?” Holmes asked.
“这对你来说意味着什么?”福尔摩斯问。
“I suppose it means that all of the planets in the universe, we are truly fortunate to be here on Earth. We are small in God’s eyes, but should struggle every day to be worthy of our blessings. In a meteorological sense, it means we’ll have a sunny day tomorrow. What does it mean to you, Holmes?”
“我想这意味着在宇宙所有的行星当中,我们生活在地球的确非常幸运。我们在上帝的眼里是多么渺小,但我们应该每天努力才对得起对我们的祝福。从气象学的意义上来说,这意味着明天是一个晴朗的天气。这对你意味着什么呢,福尔摩斯?”
“To me, it means someone has stolen our tent.”
“对我来说,这意味着有人把我们的帐篷偷走了。”
