“Sherlock Holmes studied the corpse that lay in the center of the room. His keen eyes took in every detail. It seemed that nothing in the world existed for him but that piece of ground. Finally, he sniffed the corpse’s lips. ‘Poison,’ he said, with the absolute certainty that I had come to know so well.”
「福尔摩斯研究躺在房间中央的尸体。他锐利的双眼将每个细节尽收眼底，看起来就像这个世界上除了那块地板以外其他事物都不存在。最后，他嗅闻尸体的嘴唇，用我熟悉的绝对自信的语气说：『毒药。』」
This is a typical scene from a Sherlock Holmes story, which, like most of his adventures, is narrated by Dr. Watson. When it comes to detectives, none is better known than Sherlock Holmes. The bright detective could solve any mystery with his incredible powers of observation and logical reasoning. By noticing small details, Holmes could learn about a person’s life, such as their background and occupation in seconds.

Originally appearing in four novels and 56 short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes has also appeared in many films and plays. Along with his close friend and companion, Dr. Watson, Conan Doyle’s creation has become one of the most popular characters in literature.
最初现身在阿瑟．柯南．道尔爵士撰写的4本小说和56篇短篇故事中，福尔摩斯也现身于许多电影和戏剧。和他的密友兼同伴华生医师一起，柯南道尔创造的人物已成为文学中最受欢迎的角色之一。

课文讲解
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Scotland in 1859. Although he is best known as an author, Conan Doyle graduated from university with a medical degree. He wrote the first Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, when he was 27. The novel was a huge success, and made Conan Doyle a household name, convincing him that he could make a better living out of writing.
阿瑟．柯南．道尔在1859年生于苏格兰。虽然他以作家的身分广为人知，道尔从大学毕业时拿的是医药学位。他在27岁时撰写第一篇福尔摩斯的故事，《血字的研究》。这本小说大为成功，让柯南．道尔的名字家喻户晓，使他确信可以靠写作获得更佳的收入。
However, the fame of Sherlock Holmes also presented a problem. Conan Doyle wanted to write other kinds of novels, but his audience wanted to read about Holmes. To solve the problem, he killed Holmes in the story The Final Problem. Yet, he brought the detective back eight years later when he had a great new idea for a Holmes story.
然而，夏洛克．福尔摩斯的盛名也引起一个问题。柯南．道尔想写其他种类的小说，但他的读者想看更多福尔摩斯的故事。为了解决此问题，他在《最后一案》中让福尔摩斯死亡。不过，8年后当他有了福尔摩斯故事的绝佳点子，他让侦探复活了。
Conan Doyle’s Holmes stories have had an immense influence on detective fiction and inspired many authors, such as British crime writer Agatha Christie. For fans of the genre, the greatest pleasure might be reading one of Conan Doyle’s stories and solving the crime before the master detective himself.
柯南．道尔撰写的福尔摩斯故事对侦探小说有巨大影响，并启发许多作家，例如英国的犯罪小说作者阿嘉莎．克莉丝蒂。对此种类型的书迷而言，最大的乐趣或许是阅读一篇柯南．道尔的故事，并抢在侦探大师本人之前解开罪行。
