福尔摩斯1 Magic or observation.ppt

Is it magic, or just careful observation? 魔法还是仔细的观察？ The mystery stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (阿瑟·柯南道尔) are famous all over the world. But who is he? 他是谁？？？ The detective (侦探)in his stories is called Sherlock Holmes. (夏洛克·福尔摩斯) He solves mysteries in a most spectacular (引人入胜的) way. Through it all, his assistant(助手), Dr Watson, watches with admiration. （敬佩） Watson then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards（随后）. This is a useful story writing technique.(写作技巧)——倒叙 Beecause Watson is not very clever, the story remains (保留) a mystery until the end. The readers can sometimes pick up (获得) some clues (线索) before he does！ Then, so Watson can understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain (解释) it all, step by step (逐步地). So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too. What about the first time when they meet? Holmes astonishes （使惊讶）Watson. When they are first introduced, Holmes says to Watson: “How do you do?” I see you have been to Afghanistan (阿富汗). Watson is too amazed by this to ask Holmes how he knows this. Watson has, indeed, been to Afghanistan . Later, he asks Holmes about it. Holmes explains that there is nothing magical about what he does. It is all down to (归咎于) very, very careful observation. Observation One Watson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor, a medical (医学的) man. Yet Holmes thought that the way he stood and walked made him seem like a solider(士兵).断句 Observation Two Watsons face was quite dark skinned. But his wrists(手腕) were pale. This meant that he had been to a hot, sunny country. as a working doctor Observation Three At that time, the British army had soliders at bases(基地) in many parts of the world. 翻译 However, Holmes saw that Watson looked very tired, as if he had a lot of stress(压力). Observation Three He was holding his left arm stiffly(呆板的), as if it was painful(疼痛的). So, he had probably been with the army to a place where they were fighting.
