1、我的體質非常特別。工作的時候一點兒也不覺得累，如果閑著無事反而會使我委頓不堪了。
I have a curious constitution. I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely.
2、我好動不好靜，一遇無事可做的時候，我就會心緒不寧起來。
My mind rebels at stagnation.
3、我追求精神上的興奮。
I crave for mental exaltation.
4、不用動腦筋，我就活不下去
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for?
5、即使是最好的女人，也決不能完全信賴她們。
Women are never to be entirely trusted - not the best of them.
6、可是愛情是一種情感的事情，和我認為是最重要的冷靜思考是有矛盾的。我永遠不會結婚，以免影響我的判斷力。
Love is an emotional thing, and whatever is emotional is opposed to that true cold reason which I place above all things. I should never marry myself, lest I bias my judgment.
7、感情作用會影響清醒的理智。
The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning.
8、除去其他的因素，剩下的必是事實了。
Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth.
9、我不是曾經和你說過多少次嗎，當你除去了所有不可能的因素，不管剩下的是什么――不管是多么難以令人相信的事――那就是事實嗎?
How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?
10、偵探術是――或者應當是一種精確的科學，應當用同樣冷靜而不是感情用事的方法來研究它。
Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner.
11、我向來不作任何例外。定律沒有例外。
I never make exceptions. An exception disproves the rule.
12、我向來不猜想。猜想是很不好的習慣，它有害于作邏輯的推理。
I never guess. It is a shocking habit -- destructive to the logical faculty. |
