"What are you going to do, then (что вы собираетесь делать в таком случае)?" I asked.
rule [ru:l], bizarre [bI'zA:], featureless ['fi: [email protected]], identify [aI'dentIfaI]
"Well, Watson," said Holmes when our visitor had left us, "what do you make of it all?"
"I make nothing of it," I answered frankly. "It is a most mysterious business."
"As a rule," said Holmes, "the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify. But I must be prompt over this matter."
"What are you going to do, then?" I asked.
"To smoke (курить)," he answered. "It is quite a three pipe problem (это как раз трехтрубочная проблема = задача на три трубки табаку), and I beg that you won't speak to me for fifty minutes (и я попрошу, чтобы вы не говорили со мной пятьдесят минут)." He curled himself up in his chair (он свернулся в своем кресле), with his thin knees drawn up to his hawk-like nose (подтянув худые колени к ястребиному носу; hawk — ястреб), and there he sat with his eyes closed and his black clay pipe (и вот = в такой позе он сидел с закрытыми глазами и своей черной глиняной трубкой) thrusting out like the bill of some strange bird (торчащей, как клюв какой-то странной птицы; to thrust out — высунуть). I had come to the conclusion (я пришел к заключению) that he had dropped asleep (что он уснул), and indeed was nodding myself (и сам уже начал дремать, клевать носом), when he suddenly sprang out of his chair with the gesture of a man (когда он внезапно вскочил со своего кресла с жестом = видом человека) who has made up his mind (который «собрал свой разум» = принял решение) and put his pipe down upon the mantelpiece (и положил свою трубку на каминную полку).

"Sarasate plays at the St. James's Hall this afternoon (Сарасате играет в Сент-Джеймс-холле сегодня днем)," he remarked. "What do you think, Watson (что вы думаете /об этом/, Ватсон)? Could your patients spare you for a few hours (могут ли ваши пациенты обойтись без вас в течение нескольких часов; to spare — экономить, беречь)?"
patients ['peISnts], spare [ [email protected]], few [fju:], hours [' [email protected]]
"I have nothing to do today (мне нечего делать сегодня = я свободен сегодня). My practice is never very absorbing (моя практика никогда не поглощает = отнимает много времени)."

"Then put on your hat and come (тогда надевайте вашу шляпу и идемте). I am going through the City first (я собираюсь /проехать/ через Сити сначала), and we can have some lunch on the way (и мы можем иметь ланч = перекусить по пути). I observe that there is a good deal of German music on the programme (я вижу: «наблюдаю», что в программе много немецкой музыки), which is rather more to my taste than Italian or French (что значительно больше мне по вкусу, чем итальянская или французская). It is introspective (она интроспективна = способствует самоуглублению), and I want to introspect (и я хочу заняться углубиться в себя). Come along (пойдемте; to come along — сопровождать; поторапливаться)!"

We travelled by the Underground as far as Aldersgate (мы доехали: «пропутешествовали» с помощью метро до Олдерсгейта); and a short walk took us to Saxe-Coburg Square (и короткая прогулка привела нас до Сакс-Кобург-сквер), the scene of the singular story which we had listened to in the morning (места действия странной истории, которую мы слышали этим утром). It was a poky, little, shabby-genteel place (это было убогое, маленькое, пытающееся скрыть свою нищету место; shabby — поношенный; потрепанный; genteel — благородный; изящный), where four lines of dingy two-storied brick houses (где четыре ряда грязных двухэтажных кирпичных домов) looked out into a small railed-in enclosure (смотрели /окнами/ на маленькое отгороженное пространство; enclosure — огороженное место, загон), where a lawn of weedy grass and a few clumps of faded laurel-bushes (где газон сорной травы и несколько /групп/ блеклых лавровых кустов) made a hard fight against a smoke-laden and uncongenial atmosphere (делали тяжелый бой = вели тяжелую борьбу с: «против» насыщенной дымом и неблагоприятной атмосферой; laden — нагруженный; сочащийся). Three gilt balls and a brown board with "JABEZ WILSON" in white letters (три позолоченных шара и бурая доска с /надписью/ «Джабез Уилсон», выведенной белыми буквами), upon a corner house (на угловом доме), announced the place where our red-headed client carried on his business (объявляли о месте, где = указывали, что здесь наш рыжий клиент вел свое дело). Sherlock Holmes stopped in front of it (Шерлок Холмс остановился перед этим = перед дверью) with his head on one side (с головой на одной стороне = склоненной набок головой) and looked it all over (и тщательно осмотрел ее), with his eyes shining brightly between puckered lids (/с/ глазами, сверкающими ярко из-под: «между» полуприкрытых век). Then he walked slowly up the street (затем он прошелся медленно /вверх/ по улице), and then down again to the corner (и затем /вниз/ обратно к углу), still looking keenly at the houses (все еще вглядываясь внимательно в дома). Finally he returned to the pawnbroker's (наконец, он вернулся к ссудной кассе), and, having thumped vigorously upon the pavement with his stick two or three times (и, постучав энергично по мостовой своей тростью два или три раза), he went up to the door and knocked (он подошел к двери и постучал /в дверь/). It was instantly opened by a bright-looking, clean-shaven young fellow, who asked him to step in (она была тотчас же открыта расторопным, чисто выбритым молодым человеком, который попросил его войти; bright — живой, расторопный; to shave — бриться).
