S：We need to identifythe corpse, find out about his friends and...我們要查出尸體的身份，找到他的朋友和...
L：Wait, wait, wait,wait. What painting? What are you on about?等等甥绿，別一口氣說完字币。什么油畫，你在說什么?

W：Sherlock, do you want to take us through it?夏洛克，能否勞駕解釋一下?
S：What do we know about this corpse? The killer's not left us with much, just the shirt and the trousers. They're pretty formal, maybe he was going out for the night. The trousers are heavy duty. Polyester, nasty, same as the shirt, cheap. They're both too big for him. So some kind of standard-issue uniform. Dressed for work, then. What kind of work? There's a hook on his belt...for awalkie-talkie.關(guān)于這具尸體我們都知道了什么扰肌？兇手沒留下多少線索抛寝，除了褲子和襯衫。穿著很正式曙旭，他可能晚上要出門盗舰。褲子材料是滌綸，很耐穿桂躏，和襯衫也一樣都是便宜的低檔貨钻趋。但對他都太大了，應(yīng)該是統(tǒng)一制服剂习。是工作制服蛮位，什么樣的工作呢?皮帶上有個裝對講機(jī)的搭扣。

W：Security guard?保安?
S：More likely.更有可能鳞绕。
S：That'll be borne out by his backside.從他后背就看得出來失仁。
L：Backside?!后背怎么了？
S：Flabby, you'd think he'd led a sedentary life. Yet the soles of his feet and the nascent varicose veins in his legs show otherwise. So, a lot of walking and a lot of sitting around. Security guard's looking good. The watch helps too. The alarm shows he did regular night shifts.后背松弛無力们何，讓人聯(lián)想到他經(jīng)常坐著萄焦，但他腳掌和腿上的靜脈曲張又表明了不同情況。所以一天到晚不是坐著就是在走路。更可能是保安拂封，還有她的手表茬射，鬧鐘顯示他常值夜班。
L：Why regular冒签？Maybe he just set his alarm like that the night before he died.怎么知道是經(jīng)常在抛？也許他只是碰巧在死前一晚設(shè)置了鬧鐘。
S：No, no, no. The buttons are stiff, hardly touched. He set his alarm like that a long time ago, his routine never varied. But there's something else. The killer must have been interrupted, otherwise he would have stripped the corpse completely. There was some kind of badge or insignia on the shirt front that he tore off, suggesting the dead man some kind of institution. I found this inside his trouser pockets. ?Sodden by the river, but still recognisably...不不萧恕，按鈕很硬刚梭，說明不常碰。工作時間一直沒變過廊鸥。還有別的，殺手肯定是被打斷了辖所，要不他會把整個尸體都扒光惰说。他襯衫前胸本來有徽章或標(biāo)志，被兇手撕了缘回，說明他是在某個容易辨認(rèn)的地方工作吆视，應(yīng)該是某種公共機(jī)構(gòu)。我在他褲子口袋里發(fā)現(xiàn)了這個酥宴，被河水泡了啦吧，但還是能依稀辨認(rèn)出是…
W：Tickets?票?
S：Ticket stubs. He worked in a museum or gallery. Did a quick check. The Hickman Gallery has reported one of its attendants as missing -Alex Woodbridge. Tonight, they unveil the rediscovered masterpiece. Now, why would anyone want to pay the Golem to suffocate a perfectly ordinary gallery attendant? Inference, the dead man knew some- thing about it, something that would stop the owner getting paid 30 million.檢票存根。他在博物館或畫廊工作拙寡，經(jīng)我搜索授滓，希曼美術(shù)館有一名員工失蹤亞歷·伍布里奇。今晚肆糕，他們要展出新發(fā)現(xiàn)的油畫“愣眩現(xiàn)在的問題是為什么有人要雇傭格木去掐死一個畫廊的小小員工呢？說明死者知道了內(nèi)幕诚啃，會讓物主的三千萬英鎊打水漂淮摔。
S：The pictures are fake.那幅畫是贗品始赎。
W：Fantastic.帥呆了和橙。
S：Meretricious.嘩眾取寵罷了。
L：And a Happy New Year.難得你還懂得謙虛造垛。
W：Poor sod. I'd better get my feelers out for this Golem character.可憐的家伙魔招。我讓手下去找找這位格木先生吧。
