句子解析

4. He was a man with some amount of self-importance and a certain air of command.
self-importance(?自負(fù)的?)讹弯，command (?發(fā)號(hào)施令?)况既，他是一個(gè)自負(fù)的人并且散發(fā)著一種發(fā)號(hào)施令的氣場(chǎng)。air 再一次的出現(xiàn)了组民，可以理解為神情棒仍，氣場(chǎng)，曾用來(lái)形容福爾摩斯的果決 his thin nose gave his whole expression an air of alertness and decision.

8. The latter looked out with three levels of windows, all blank and dull, except here and there a“For Rent” card was placed on the glass.
房子的后面有三層朝外的窗子敬矩，全都空白陰暗，除了“出租”的告示零星可見(jiàn)蠢挡。level可以指“樓層”弧岳，三層樓上都有著朝外的窗子。而 「? here and there」有“零零落落袒哥，到處”的意思缩筛。

“有像你和Lestrade這樣的人負(fù)責(zé)，那其他人在這地方也不會(huì)再有什么新發(fā)現(xiàn)了”认烁。上一句剛抱怨過(guò)““跟一群水牛經(jīng)過(guò)造成的混亂差不多”肿男，Sherlock對(duì)“警察進(jìn)進(jìn)出出留下的腳印太多”已經(jīng)很不滿(mǎn)。所以這句話Sherlock是在高端黑警察們却嗡，然而我們的派出所所長(zhǎng)（警長(zhǎng)）似乎沒(méi)有聽(tīng)出來(lái)舶沛，還喜滋滋地搓搓手。
「? a third party 」是“第三方窗价，第三人”的意思如庭。
