内容简介
柯南道尔笔下的福尔摩斯从“降生”之日起，已过去一百多年，但他塑造的这个身材瘦削颀长，长着鹰钩鼻，头戴软布帽，身披长风衣，托着大烟斗，手持放大镜的传奇人物形象，已成为*广为接受的大侦探形象。福尔摩斯知识渊博，包括化学、植物学、地理学、解剖学、犯罪学、法律、拳术、音乐等诸多学科，他都颇有造诣。他甚至还谙熟化妆和易容术！为了取证，他把自己装扮成步履蹒跚的老太太、骨瘦如柴的大烟鬼、酩酊大醉的马车夫、朴素耐心的好牧师、濒临死亡的重病号……值得一提的是，柯南道尔的所有作品中，并没有几乎所有小说中都少不了的男欢女爱、情意绵绵。相反，按照他的伙伴华生的说法，办案时，对于这位表情冷静刻板、头脑缜密、镇定自若的神探来说，“一切情感都是格格不入的”。可以说，在福尔摩斯的探案集里，从未出现他与女性有关的任何绯闻。这位神探之所以赢得读者的喜爱，全靠其机智、敏锐、细致、果敢、胆识、理性、正义、执着、冒险精神和多才多艺。当然，如果大作家塑造一个形象太过完美的话，也就没有属于他自己的独特人格魅力了。在在柯南道尔的笔下，福尔摩斯的缺点也不少，比如好吹牛，自命不凡，不把人放在眼里，即使对*忠实的朋友华生，也常常讥讽嘲笑；常表现出冷漠神情；在无事可做时，经常注射可卡因，靠毒品消除身心疲劳；在推理时，对人爱理不理，如被打断思路，会立马大发脾气；在对待女人的问题上，既不近女色、不信任女人，也不交女友，不成家；不注意休息，是个典型的工作狂；素来沉默寡言，有些不近人情。有了这些缺点，反倒让福尔摩斯这个神探得以走下神坛，可信度更高，成为有血有肉的鲜活英雄。这也就是为什么直到今天，福尔摩斯仍然这么受追捧，甚至连这位神探居住的伦敦贝克大街221号B座，也成了福尔摩斯迷们务必朝拜的名胜，可见福尔摩斯的魅力之大！

CHAPTER 1MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES
r. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth- rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before. It was a fine, thick piece of wood, bulbous-headed, of the sort which is known as a “Penang lawyer.” Just under the head was a broad silver band nearly an inch across. “To James Mortimer, M.R.C.S., from his friends of the C.C.H.,” was engraved upon it, with the date “1884.” It was just such a stick as the old-fashioned family practitionerused to carry—dignified, solid, and reassuring.”Well, Watson, what do you make of it?”Holmes was sitting with his back to me, and I had given him no sign of my occupation.”How did you know what I was doing? I believe you have eyes in the back of your head.””I have, at least, a well-polished, silver-plated coffee-pot in front of me,” said he. “But, tell me, Watson, what do you make of our visitor’s stick? Since we have been so unfortunate as to miss him and have no notion of his errand, this accidental souvenir becomes of importance. Let me hear you reconstruct the man by an examination of it.””I think,” said I, following as far as I could the
methods of my companion, “that Dr. Mortimer is a successful, elderly medical man, well-esteemed since those who know him give him this mark of their appreciation.””Good!” said Holmes. “Excellent!””I think also that the probability is in favour of his being a country practitioner who does a great deal of his visiting on foot.””Why so?””Because this stick, though originally a very handsome one has been so knocked about that I can hardly imagine a town practitioner carrying it. The thick-iron ferrule is worn down, so it is evident that he has done a great amount of walking with it.””Perfectly sound!” said Holmes.”And then again, there is the ‘friends of the C.C.H.’ I should guess that to be the Something Hunt, the local hunt to whose members he has possibly given some surgical assistance, and which has made him a small presentation in return.””Really, Watson, you excel yourself,” said Holmes, pushing back his chair and lighting a cigarette. “I am bound to say that in all the accounts which you have been so good as to give of my own small achievements you have habitually underrated your own abilities. It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it. I confess, my dear fellow, that I am very much in your debt.”He had never said as much before, and I must admit that his words gave me keen pleasure, for I had often been piqued by his indifference to my admiration and to the attempts which I had made to give publicity to his methods. I was proud, too, to think that I had so far mastered his system as to apply it in a way which earned his approval. He now took the stick from my hands and examined it for a few minutes with his
naked eyes. Then with an expression of interest he laid down his cigarette, and carrying the cane to the window, he looked over it again with a convex lens.”Interesting, though elementary,” said he as he returned to his favourite corner of the settee. “There are certainly one or two indications upon the stick. It gives us the basis for several deductions.””Has anything escaped me?” I asked with some self-importance. “I trust that there is nothing of consequence which I have overlooked?””I am afraid, my dear Watson, that most of your conclusions were erroneous. When I said that you stimulated me I meant, to be frank, that in noting your fallacies I was occasionally guided towards the truth. Not that you are entirely wrong in this instance. The man is certainly a country practitioner. And he walks a good deal.””Then I was right.” “To that extent.” “But that was all.””No, no, my dear Watson, not all—by no means all. I would suggest, for example, that a presentation to a doctor is more likely to come from a hospital than from a hunt, and that when the initials ‘C.C.’ are placed before that hospital the words ‘Charing Cross’ very naturally suggest themselves.””You may be right.””The probability lies in that direction. And if we take this as a working hypothesis we have a fresh basis from which to start our construction of this unknown visitor.””Well, then, supposing that ‘C.C.H.’ does stand for ‘Charing Cross Hospital,’ what further inferences may we draw?””Do none suggest themselves? You know my methods. Apply them!””I can only think of the obvious conclusion that the man has practised in town before going to the
country.””I think that we might venture a little farther than this. Look at it in this light. On what occasion would it be most probable that such a presentation would be made? When would his friends unite to give him a pledge of their good will? Obviously at the moment when Dr. Mortimer withdrew from the service of the hospital in order to start a practice for himself. We know there has been a presentation. We believe there has been a change from a town hospital to a country practice. Is it, then, stretching our inference too far to say that the presentation was on the occasion of the change?”
