一、情绪表达和心理活动:
1.“Ha! ha!” he cried, clapping his hands, and looking as delighted as a child with a new toy.
2.His eyes fairly glittered as he spoke, and he put his hand over his heart and bowed as if to some applauding crowd created by his imagination.
3.He could not have been more delighted if he had discovered a gold mine.
4.His eyes were sharp and intense, and his thin nose gave his whole expression an air of alertness and decision.
5.I confess that I was considerably shocked by this fresh proof of my companion’s theories. My respect for his powers of analysis increased greatly. However, there still remained some suspicion in my mind that the whole thing was pre-arranged, intended to dazzle me.
6.Holmes glanced at me and raised his eyebrows.
7.On his rigid face there stood an expression of horror and hatred.
8.Gregson and Lestrade had watched the movements of their amateur companion with considerable curiosity and some contempt.
9.John Rance sprang to his feet with a frightened face and suspicion in his eyes.
10.It was indeed Lestrade, who had climbed the stairs while we were talking, and who now entered the room. However, the assurance and cheerfulness which generally marked his conduct and the clothes he wore were gone. His face was disturbed and troubled, while his clothes were untidy. He had evidently come with the intention of consulting with Sherlock Holmes, so, on seeing his colleague, he appeared to be embarrassed. He stood in the center of the room, playing nervously with his hat and uncertain what to do.
11.I stared in silence at Sherlock Holmes, whose lips were closed and eyebrows(眉毛) were drawn down over his eyes.
12.Holmes had taken out his watch, and as minute followed minute without result, an expression of disappointment appeared upon his face. He bit his lip, tapped his fingers upon the table, and showed every other sign of impatience. So great was his emotion that I felt sorry for him, while the two detectives smiled.
13.Sherlock Holmes drew a long breath, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
14.Mr. Gregson, who had listened to this talk with considerable impatience, could be silent no longer.
15.The whole thing occurred in a moment—so quickly that I had no time to realize it. I still remember that instant—Holmes’ triumphant expression, and the cabman’s dazed(茫然的), savage face as he glared at the glittering handcuffs(手铐) which had appeared as if by magic upon his wrists.
16.Lucy’s red-faced cheeks and her bright, happy eyes showed clearly that she was in love.
17.John Ferrier made no answer, but he played nervously with his riding-whip(马鞭).
18.Some hours after Young had left, Ferrier was still sitting with his elbows upon his knees, considering how he should explain the matter to his daughter, when a soft hand was laid upon his, and looking up, he saw her standing beside him. One glance at her pale, frightened face showed him that she had heard what had happened.
19.Having done that he felt easier in his mind, and returned home with a lighter heart.
20.Ferrier was powerless, and could see no way of avoiding the blow that was coming to himself and his daughter.
21.As the young fellow realized the certainty of her fate, and his own inability to prevent it, he wished that he, too, was lying with the old farmer. However, his active spirit shook off the lethargy(倦怠) which sprang from despair. If there was nothing else left to him, he could at least devote his life to revenge.
22.His eyes wore an expression of deep thought.
二、动作描写:
1.There was only one student in the room, who was bending over(俯身) a table, intensely focused on his work. At the sound of our steps, he glanced round and sprang to his feet with a cry of pleasure.
2.He seized me by the coat-sleeve in his eagerness, and drew me over to the table at which he had been working.
3.I have never seen anyone so energetic as he was when he was hard at work, but now and again a reaction would take him, and for days on end he would lie upon the sofa in the sitting-room, hardly saying a word or moving a muscle from morning to night.
4.He clicked his heels together, raised his hand in a salute, and was gone.
5.He acted very calmly; he walked up and down the pavement, and gazed vacantly at the ground, the sky, the opposite houses and the line of fence railings. Having finished his observation, he proceeded slowly down the path keeping his eyes focused upon the ground. Twice he stopped, and once I saw him smile, and heard him utter a sound of satisfaction.
6.Sherlock Holmes approached the body, and, kneeling down(跪下), examined it carefully.
7.As he spoke, he took a tape measure and a large round magnifying glass(放大镜) from his pocket. With these two tools he walked noiselessly about the room, sometimes stopping, occasionally kneeling, and once lying flat upon his face. So focused was he upon his task that he appeared to have forgotten our presence.
8.We started off for the cab together, leaving the officer confused.
9.She appeared to be dazzled by the sudden glow of light, and after curtseying(行屈膝礼) to us, she stood blinking at us with her eyes and searching in her pocket with nervous, shaky fingers.
10.With many blessings and much gratitude, the old lady put it away in her pocket, and shuffled(慢悠悠地) off down the stairs.
11.Sherlock Holmes’ serious manner had so far convinced us that we all sat in silence, watching the animal closely, and expecting some amazing effect.
12. "Ah, I have it! I have it!” With a perfect cry of delight he rushed to the box, cut the other pill in two, dissolved it, added milk, and presented it to the dog.
13.The unfortunate creature’s tongue seemed hardly to have tasted it before it gave a sudden shake in every part of its body, and lay as rigid and lifeless as if it had been struck by lightning.
14.Then, with a roar of fury, the prisoner freed himself from Holmes’ grasp, and threw himself through the window. Wood and glass gave way before him.
15.One morning she was riding her horse along a road when she ran into a herd of cattle, of which one suddenly turned and attacked her. She would have fallen and been killed, if a stranger had not caught her wildly-moving horse and led it calmly away.
16.One fine morning, John Ferrier was about to set out to his wheat fields, when he heard the click of the latch(门闩) on his gate, and, looking through the window, saw a middle-aged man coming up the path.
17.Opening the window very slowly and carefully, they waited until a dark cloud had somewhat obscured the night, and then one by one passed through into the little garden. Once on the high road they made rapid progress.
18.He staggered back with a pale face, trembling all over.
19.Thinking that I might have dropped it when I bent over Drebber’s body, I drove back, leaving my cab in a side street.
三、对话描写
1.“How are you?” he said kindly, shaking my hand with unbelievable strength. “You have been in Afghanistan, I observe.” “How on earth did you know that?” I asked in shock.
2.“You are to be congratulated,” I remarked, considerably surprised at his enthusiasm.
3.“It might make very interesting reading, too,” remarked Sherlock Holmes, sticking a small bandage over the place where his finger was bleeding.
“I have to be careful,” he continued, turning to me with a smile, “for I experiment with poisons a good deal.”
4.He always apologized to me for putting me to this inconvenience. “I have to use this room as a place of business,” he said, “and these people are my clients.”
Again I had an opportunity of asking him a point-blank question, and again my delicacy prevented me from forcing another man to confide in me.
5.I was annoyed at his arrogant style of conversation. I thought it best to change the topic.
“I wonder what that fellow is looking for.”I asked, pointing to a plainly-dressed man who was walking slowly down the other side of the street, looking anxiously at the numbers.
6.“Wonderful!” I said. “No—very ordinary,” said Holmes, though I thought from his expression that he was pleased at my evident surprise and admiration.
7.“Oh,” I cried, as I cast my eye over it, “this is terrible!” “It does seem to be a little out of the common,” he remarked, calmly.
8.“I wouldn’t have the Scotland Yarders know it,” he cried, dropping into his chair, “I have mocked them so much that they would never have let me hear the end of it.”
9.“I had no idea that you noticed that,” Gregson said, looking quite upset. “Have you been there?” “No.” “Ha!” cried Gregson, in a relieved voice, “you should never neglect a chance, however small it may seem.” “To a great mind, nothing is little,” remarked Holmes.
10.“I will now cut one of these pills in two,” said Holmes, and drawing a knife he suited the action to the word. “One half we return into the box for future purposes. The other half I will place in this wine glass, in which is some water. You see that Dr. Watson is right and that it readily dissolves.”
11.“It can’t be a coincidence,” he cried, at last springing from his chair and pacing wildly up and down the room, “it is impossible that it should be a mere chance."
12.“Is Lucy well?” he asked, when he had satisfied his hunger. “Yes. She does not know the danger,” her father answered.
四、环境描写
1.Number 3, Lauriston Gardens wore an unlucky and threatening look. It was one of four houses which stood back some little way from the street, two being occupied and two empty. The latter looked out with three levels of windows, all blank and dull, except here and there a “For Rent” card was placed on the glass. The whole place was very muddy from the rain which had fallen through the night. The garden was surrounded by a three-foot brick wall with wood railings upon the top.
2.It was a large square room, looking all the larger from the absence of all furniture.The wallpaper was blotched(弄脏) with damp patches, and here and there great strips had peeled off, showing the yellow plaster beneath. Opposite the door was a fireplace. On one corner of the mantelpiece(壁炉台) was a red candle. The only window was so dirty that the light was dim, and a thick layer of dust coated the whole apartment.
