福尔摩斯英语读书报告(精选5篇)第一篇:福尔摩斯英语读书报告The Truth--A book report of Famous Cases of Sherlock HolmesThe book is composed of four stories-The Solitary Cyclist, the Beryl Coronet, the Engineer’s thumb, The Red-headed League.The main character named Sherlock Holmes, he is a detective.He is a cautious man, and has a strong observation.In all cases, we can find that most of them were figured out by his observation.He is also good at inferring, even through a petty thing, he can discover something immense.He solved a lot of difficult cases for others through his strict reasoning.After so a lot of difficult cases were settled by him, he is famous in England, so, if someone has troubles that polices can’t solve, they will turn to him.Accompanied him is a doctor called Watson who is acted as a secretary of Holmes.He is not a very intelligent man, but he is willing to listen to Holmes’s word, so, he helped Holmes a lot.The novel is written by Mr.Watson,who is the first person tells us these stories.So it makes us thought that the book is a novel composed of many real stories.That shows the intelligence of the author of this book-Conan Doyle-the father of Holmes.We gotta say that Conan Doyle is really a master that he can make readers think these cases really occur.Arthur Conan Doyle, the son of Charles Doyle and Mary Foley, was born in Edinburgh on 22nd May 1859.His father was an alcoholic and the family was always short of money.At school, Arthur developed a strong interest in the books written by Sir Walter Scott and Edgar Allan Poe.He studied at Edinburgh University and helped to fund his course by working as a surgeon on Hope.The following yearhe worked on Mayumba, a passenger ship bound for West Africa.On this voyage Conan Doyle nearly died of typhoid.On his return, Conan Doyle set up as a doctor in Southsea, a suburb of Portsmouth.With very few patients, Conan Doyle attempted to make money by writing detective stories.His main character, Sherlock Holmes, was based on Dr.Joseph Bell, a surgeon and criminal psychologist, who lectured at Edinburgh infirmary.In 1819 Conan Doyle published six Sherlock Holmes stories in the strand magazine.The following year he was paid 1,000 for a whole series on Sherlock Holmes.Conan Doyle really wanted to write historical novels like his hero, Sir Walter Scott, and in 1893 decided to kill off Sherlock Holmes in the story.However, after suffuring from considerable pressure from his fans, he returned to write his best known detective story The Hound of the Baskervilles.Arthur Conan Doyle was died in 1934.The Solitary Cyclist is a tragedy related to a female bicyclist.One day she came to Holmes’ home, said that she was followed by a stranger and asked Holmes helped her.At first, Holmes didn’t pay attention to it.But after his investigation, he found the truth and save the woman from the villain.The Beryl Coronet is about a father wronged his son of stealing his jewels.But the fact is that his son is the one who protect it and the real thief is his niece who trusts most.The Engineer’s Thumb tells us a story of a hydraulic engineer cheated by a colonel who is a real one steal money.He found the something strange by chance and is cut the thumb.With the help of Holmes, the police found that place, but unfortunately those guys have escaped.The Red-headed League writes a red-headed person happened to a lucky job that he can do nothing in four hours but gain 200dollors a year.But after two month he found the league disappeared.Actually, it is afraud.It’s about a robbery, but is seen through by Holmes.These entire four stories are similar in a respect that is because of the observation that these cases can be worked out.I thought the reason why this novel is so successful is that the cases in it are very changeful.They can always go beyond our mind.Sometimes the case gets stuck in some troubles, and we thought the leading character will have nothing to do, but then it will get out of it.Sometimes we consider that the case will develop in the way which we imagine, but it happened in the opposite way.One of the brilliant aspects is that it is hard for us to judge who is the real bad person, what’s more funny is that the person who we guess is the bad person because of misunderstanding, and is the real good man who sacrifices himself for protecting something.All these sides show the superb the skill of the author and meanwhile, they become the charm of the novel.As far as I am concerned nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Holmes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case.According his stories, he has studied different kinds of newspaper, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well.Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with.Expect for his brilliant knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a great discovery or even the truth itself.From his speaking “Even mystery has an answer” we can readily shape the impression of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will.In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts Sherlock Holmes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.第二篇:《福尔摩斯》读书报告读书报告读书主题:智慧所读书籍:《福尔摩斯侦探全集》读书感悟:夜已深,早该是休息的时候,我却在读柯南道尔的《福尔摩斯侦探集》,夜里读这本书特别有感觉。

英⽂版福尔摩斯探案集之⾎字的研究03 CHAPTER III. THE LAURISTON GARDEN MYSTERY [6]I CONFESS that I was considerably startled by this fresh proof of thepractical nature of my companion's theories. My respect for his powersof analysis increased wondrously. There still remained some lurkingsuspicion in my mind, however, that the whole thing was a pre-arrangedepisode, intended to dazzle me, though what earthly object he could havein taking me in was past my comprehension. When I looked at him hehad finished reading the note, and his eyes had assumed the vacant,lack-lustre expression which showed mental abstraction."How in the world did you deduce that?" I asked."Deduce what?" said he, petulantly."Why, that he was a retired sergeant of Marines.""I have no time for trifles," he answered, brusquely; then with a smile,"Excuse my rudeness. You broke the thread of my thoughts; but perhapsit is as well. So you actually were not able to see that that man was asergeant of Marines?""No, indeed.""It was easier to know it than to explain why I knew it. If youwere asked to prove that two and two made four, you might find somedifficulty, and yet you are quite sure of the fact. Even across thestreet I could see a great blue anchor tattooed on the back of thefellow's hand. That smacked of the sea. He had a military carriage,however, and regulation side whiskers. There we have the marine. He wasa man with some amount of self-importance and a certain air of command.You must have observed the way in which he held his head and swunghis cane. A steady, respectable, middle-aged man, too, on the face ofhim--all facts which led me to believe that he had been a sergeant.""Wonderful!" I ejaculated."Commonplace," said Holmes, though I thought from his expression that hewas pleased at my evident surprise and admiration. "I said just now thatthere were no criminals. It appears that I am wrong--look at this!" Hethrew me over the note which the commissionaire had brought. [7]"Why," I cried, as I cast my eye over it, "this is terrible!""It does seem to be a little out of the common," he remarked, calmly."Would you mind reading it to me aloud?"This is the letter which I read to him----"MY DEAR MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES,--"There has been a bad business during the night at 3, Lauriston Gardens,off the Brixton Road. Our man on the beat saw a light there about two inthe morning, and as the house was an empty one, suspected that somethingwas amiss. He found the door open, and in the front room, which is bareof furniture, discovered the body of a gentleman, well dressed, andhaving cards in his pocket bearing the name of 'Enoch J. Drebber,Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.' There had been no robbery, nor is there anyevidence as to how the man met his death. There are marks of blood inthe room, but there is no wound upon his person. We are at a loss as tohow he came into the empty house; indeed, the whole affair is a puzzler. If you can come round to the house any time before twelve, you will find me there. I have left everything _in statu quo_ until I hear from you.If you are unable to come I shall give you fuller details, and would esteem it a great kindness if you would favour me with your opinion. Yours faithfully,"TOBIAS GREGSON.""Gregson is the smartest of the Scotland Yarders," my friend remarked; "he and Lestrade are the pick of a bad lot. They are both quick and energetic, but conventional--shockingly so. They have their knivesinto one another, too. They are as jealous as a pair of professional beauties. There will be some fun over this case if they are both putupon the scent."I was amazed at the calm way in which he rippled on. "Surely there isnot a moment to be lost," I cried, "shall I go and order you a cab?""I'm not sure about whether I shall go. I am the most incurably lazydevil that ever stood in shoe leather--that is, when the fit is on me,for I can be spry enough at times.""Why, it is just such a chance as you have been longing for.""My dear fellow, what does it matter to me. Supposing I unravel the whole matter, you may be sure that Gregson, Lestrade, and Co. will pocket all the credit. That comes of being an unofficial personage.""But he begs you to help him.""Yes. He knows that I am his superior, and acknowledges it to me; buthe would cut his tongue out before he would own it to any third person. However, we may as well go and have a look. I shall work it out on my own hook. I may have a laugh at them if I have nothing else. Come on!"He hustled on his overcoat, and bustled about in a way that showed that an energetic fit had superseded the apathetic one."Get your hat," he said."You wish me to come?""Yes, if you have nothing better to do." A minute later we were both ina hansom, driving furiously for the Brixton Road.It was a foggy, cloudy morning, and a dun-coloured veil hung over the house-tops, looking like the reflection of the mud-coloured streets beneath. My companion was in the best of spirits, and prattled away about Cremona fiddles, and the difference between a Stradivarius andan Amati. As for myself, I was silent, for the dull weather and the melancholy business upon which we were engaged, depressed my spirits. "You don't seem to give much thought to the matter in hand," I said at last, interrupting Holmes' musical disquisition."No data yet," he answered. "It is a capital mistake to theorize beforeyou have all the evidence. It biases the judgment.""You will have your data soon," I remarked, pointing with my finger; "this is the Brixton Road, and that is the house, if I am not very much mistaken.""So it is. Stop, driver, stop!" We were still a hundred yards or so fromit, but he insisted upon our alighting, and we finished our journey uponfoot.Number 3, Lauriston Gardens wore an ill-omened and minatory look. It was one of four which stood back some little way from the street, two being occupied and two empty. The latter looked out with three tiers of vacant melancholy windows, which were blank and dreary, save that here and there a "To Let" card had developed like a cataract upon the bleared panes. A small garden sprinkled over with a scattered eruption of sickly plants separated each of these houses from the street, and was traversed by a narrow pathway, yellowish in colour, and consisting apparently of a mixture of clay and of gravel. The whole place was very sloppy from the rain which had fallen through the night. The garden was bounded by a three-foot brick wall with a fringe of wood rails upon the top, andagainst this wall was leaning a stalwart police constable, surrounded bya small knot of loafers, who craned their necks and strained their eyesin the vain hope of catching some glimpse of the proceedings within.I had imagined that Sherlock Holmes would at once have hurried into the house and plunged into a study of the mystery. Nothing appeared to be further from his intention. With an air of nonchalance which, under the circumstances, seemed to me to border upon affectation, he lounged up and down the pavement, and gazed vacantly at the ground, the sky, the opposite houses and the line of railings. Having finished his scrutiny,he proceeded slowly down the path, or rather down the fringe of grass which flanked the path, keeping his eyes riveted upon the ground. Twice he stopped, and once I saw him smile, and heard him utter an exclamation of satisfaction. There were many marks of footsteps upon the wet clayey soil, but since the police had been coming and going over it, I was unable to see how my companion could hope to learn anything from it. Still I had had such extraordinary evidence of the quickness of his perceptive faculties, that I had no doubt that he could see a great deal which was hidden from me.At the door of the house we were met by a tall, white-faced,flaxen-haired man, with a notebook in his hand, who rushed forward and wrung my companion's hand with effusion. "It is indeed kind of you to come," he said, "I have had everything left untouched.""Except that!" my friend answered, pointing at the pathway. "If a herdof buffaloes had passed along there could not be a greater mess. No doubt, however, you had drawn your own conclusions, Gregson, before you permitted this.""I have had so much to do inside the house," the detective said evasively. "My colleague, Mr. Lestrade, is here. I had relied upon himto look after this."Holmes glanced at me and raised his eyebrows sardonically. "With two such men as yourself and Lestrade upon the ground, there will not be much for a third party to find out," he said.Gregson rubbed his hands in a self-satisfied way. "I think we have doneall that can be done," he answered; "it's a queer case though, and Iknew your taste for such things.""You did not come here in a cab?" asked Sherlock Holmes."No, sir.""Nor Lestrade?""No, sir.""Then let us go and look at the room." With which inconsequent remark he strode on into the house, followed by Gregson, whose features expressedhis astonishment.A short passage, bare planked and dusty, led to the kitchen and offices. Two doors opened out of it to the left and to the right. One of thesehad obviously been closed for many weeks. The other belonged to the dining-room, which was the apartment in which the mysterious affair had occurred. Holmes walked in, and I followed him with that subdued feeling at my heart which the presence of death inspires.It was a large square room, looking all the larger from the absenceof all furniture. A vulgar flaring paper adorned the walls, but it was blotched in places with mildew, and here and there great strips had become detached and hung down, exposing the yellow plaster beneath. Opposite the door was a showy fireplace, surmounted by a mantelpiece of imitation white marble. On one corner of this was stuck the stump of ared wax candle. The solitary window was so dirty that the light washazy and uncertain, giving a dull grey tinge to everything, which was intensified by the thick layer of dust which coated the whole apartment.All these details I observed afterwards. At present my attention was centred upon the single grim motionless figure which lay stretched upon the boards, with vacant sightless eyes staring up at the discoloured ceiling. It was that of a man about forty-three or forty-four years ofage, middle-sized, broad shouldered, with crisp curling black hair, anda short stubbly beard. He was dressed in a heavy broadcloth frock coat and waistcoat, with light-coloured trousers, and immaculate collarand cuffs. A top hat, well brushed and trim, was placed upon the floor beside him. His hands were clenched and his arms thrown abroad, while his lower limbs were interlocked as though his death struggle had been a grievous one. On his rigid face there stood an expression of horror,and as it seemed to me, of hatred, such as I have never seen upon human features. This malignant and terrible contortion, combined with the low forehead, blunt nose, and prognathous jaw gave the dead man a singularly simious and ape-like appearance, which was increased by his writhing, unnatural posture. I have seen death in many forms, but never hasit appeared to me in a more fearsome aspect than in that dark grimy apartment, which looked out upon one of the main arteries of suburban London.Lestrade, lean and ferret-like as ever, was standing by the doorway, and greeted my companion and myself."This case will make a stir, sir," he remarked. "It beats anything Ihave seen, and I am no chicken.""There is no clue?" said Gregson."None at all," chimed in Lestrade.Sherlock Holmes approached the body, and, kneeling down, examined it intently. "You are sure that there is no wound?" he asked, pointing to numerous gouts and splashes of blood which lay all round."Positive!" cried both detectives."Then, of course, this blood belongs to a second individual--[8] presumably the murderer, if murder has been committed. It reminds me of the circumstances attendant on the death of Van Jansen, in Utrecht, inthe year '34. Do you remember the case, Gregson?""No, sir.""Read it up--you really should. There is nothing new under the sun. Ithas all been done before."As he spoke, his nimble fingers were flying here, there, and everywhere, feeling, pressing, unbuttoning, examining, while his eyes wore the same far-away expression which I have already remarked upon. So swiftly was the examination made, that one would hardly have guessed the minuteness with which it was conducted. Finally, he sniffed the dead man's lips,and then glanced at the soles of his patent leather boots."He has not been moved at all?" he asked."No more than was necessary for the purposes of our examination." "You can take him to the mortuary now," he said. "There is nothing moreto be learned."Gregson had a stretcher and four men at hand. At his call they enteredthe room, and the stranger was lifted and carried out. As they raisedhim, a ring tinkled down and rolled across the floor. Lestrade grabbedit up and stared at it with mystified eyes."There's been a woman here," he cried. "It's a woman's wedding-ring."He held it out, as he spoke, upon the palm of his hand. We all gathered round him and gazed at it. There could be no doubt that that circlet ofplain gold had once adorned the finger of a bride."This complicates matters," said Gregson. "Heaven knows, they were complicated enough before.""You're sure it doesn't simplify them?" observed Holmes. "There's nothing to be learned by staring at it. What did you find in his pockets?""We have it all here," said Gregson, pointing to a litter of objectsupon one of the bottom steps of the stairs. "A gold watch, No. 97163, by Barraud, of London. Gold Albert chain, very heavy and solid. Gold ring, with masonic device. Gold pin--bull-dog's head, with rubies as eyes. Russian leather card-case, with cards of Enoch J. Drebber of Cleveland, corresponding with the E. J. D. upon the linen. No purse, but loose money to the extent of seven pounds thirteen. Pocket edition of Boccaccio's 'Decameron,' with name of Joseph Stangerson upon thefly-leaf. Two letters--one addressed to E. J. Drebber and one to Joseph Stangerson.""At what address?""American Exchange, Strand--to be left till called for. They are bothfrom the Guion Steamship Company, and refer to the sailing of theirboats from Liverpool. It is clear that this unfortunate man was about to return to New York.""Have you made any inquiries as to this man, Stangerson?""I did it at once, sir," said Gregson. "I have had advertisementssent to all the newspapers, and one of my men has gone to the American Exchange, but he has not returned yet.""Have you sent to Cleveland?""We telegraphed this morning.""How did you word your inquiries?""We simply detailed the circumstances, and said that we should be gladof any information which could help us.""You did not ask for particulars on any point which appeared to you tobe crucial?""I asked about Stangerson.""Nothing else? Is there no circumstance on which this whole case appears to hinge? Will you not telegraph again?""I have said all I have to say," said Gregson, in an offended voice.Sherlock Holmes chuckled to himself, and appeared to be about to make some remark, when Lestrade, who had been in the front room while we were holding this conversation in the hall, reappeared upon the scene, rubbing his hands in a pompous and self-satisfied manner."Mr. Gregson," he said, "I have just made a discovery of the highest importance, and one which would have been overlooked had I not made a careful examination of the walls."The little man's eyes sparkled as he spoke, and he was evidently ina state of suppressed exultation at having scored a point against his colleague."Come here," he said, bustling back into the room, the atmosphere of which felt clearer since the removal of its ghastly inmate. "Now, stand there!"He struck a match on his boot and held it up against the wall."Look at that!" he said, triumphantly.I have remarked that the paper had fallen away in parts. In thisparticular corner of the room a large piece had peeled off, leaving a yellow square of coarse plastering. Across this bare space there was scrawled in blood-red letters a single word--RACHE."What do you think of that?" cried the detective, with the air of a showman exhibiting his show. "This was overlooked because it was in the darkest corner of the room, and no one thought of looking there. The murderer has written it with his or her own blood. See this smear whereit has trickled down the wall! That disposes of the idea of suicide anyhow. Why was that corner chosen to write it on? I will tell you. Seethat candle on the mantelpiece. It was lit at the time, and if it waslit this corner would be the brightest instead of the darkest portion ofthe wall.""And what does it mean now that you _have_ found it?" asked Gregson in a depreciatory voice."Mean? Why, it means that the writer was going to put the female name Rachel, but was disturbed before he or she had time to finish. You mark my words, when this case comes to be cleared up you will find that a woman named Rachel has something to do with it. It's all very well foryou to laugh, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. You may be very smart and clever, but the old hound is the best, when all is said and done.""I really beg your pardon!" said my companion, who had ruffled thelittle man's temper by bursting into an explosion of laughter. "You certainly have the credit of being the first of us to find this out,and, as you say, it bears every mark of having been written by the other participant in last night's mystery. I have not had time to examine this room yet, but with your permission I shall do so now."As he spoke, he whipped a tape measure and a large round magnifyingglass from his pocket. With these two implements he trotted noiselessly about the room, sometimes stopping, occasionally kneeling, and once lying flat upon his face. So engrossed was he with his occupation thathe appeared to have forgotten our presence, for he chattered away to himself under his breath the whole time, keeping up a running fireof exclamations, groans, whistles, and little cries suggestive of encouragement and of hope. As I watched him I was irresistibly reminded of a pure-blooded well-trained foxhound as it dashes backwards and forwards through the covert, whining in its eagerness, until it comes across the lost scent. For twenty minutes or more he continued his researches, measuring with the most exact care the distance between marks which were entirely invisible to me, and occasionally applying his tape to the walls in an equally incomprehensible manner. In one placehe gathered up very carefully a little pile of grey dust from the floor,and packed it away in an envelope. Finally, he examined with his glass the word upon the wall, going over every letter of it with the mostminute exactness. This done, he appeared to be satisfied, for he replaced his tape and his glass in his pocket."They say that genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains," he remarked with a smile. "It's a very bad definition, but it does apply to detective work."Gregson and Lestrade had watched the manoeuvres [9] of their amateur companion with considerable curiosity and some contempt. They evidently failed to appreciate the fact, which I had begun to realize, thatSherlock Holmes' smallest actions were all directed towards some definite and practical end."What do you think of it, sir?" they both asked."It would be robbing you of the credit of the case if I was to presumeto help you," remarked my friend. "You are doing so well now that it would be a pity for anyone to interfere." There was a world ofsarcasm in his voice as he spoke. "If you will let me know how your investigations go," he continued, "I shall be happy to give you any helpI can. In the meantime I should like to speak to the constable who found the body. Can you give me his name and address?"Lestrade glanced at his note-book. "John Rance," he said. "He is offduty now. You will find him at 46, Audley Court, Kennington Park Gate." Holmes took a note of the address."Come along, Doctor," he said; "we shall go and look him up. I'll tellyou one thing which may help you in the case," he continued, turning to the two detectives. "There has been murder done, and the murderer was a man. He was more than six feet high, was in the prime of life, hadsmall feet for his height, wore coarse, square-toed boots and smoked a Trichinopoly cigar. He came here with his victim in a four-wheeled cab, which was drawn by a horse with three old shoes and one new one on his off fore leg. In all probability the murderer had a florid face, and thefinger-nails of his right hand were remarkably long. These are only afew indications, but they may assist you."Lestrade and Gregson glanced at each other with an incredulous smile. "If this man was murdered, how was it done?" asked the former. "Poison," said Sherlock Holmes curtly, and strode off. "One other thing, Lestrade," he added, turning round at the door: "'Rache,' is the Germanfor 'revenge;' so don't lose your time looking for Miss Rachel."With which Parthian shot he walked away, leaving the two rivalsopen-mouthed behind him.。

His narratives are叙事流畅,用词精准,巧妙地将悬疑、冒险和人性探索融为一体,为读者带来一场精彩的阅读体验。

The best of Sherlock Holmes I.Arthur Conan DoyleArthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Doyles were a prosperous Irish-Catholic family, who had a prominent position in the world of Art. Charles Altamont Doyle, Arthur's father, a chronic alcoholic, was the only member of his family, who apart from fathering a brilliant son, never accomplished anything of note. At the age of twenty-two, Charles had married Mary Foley, a vivacious and very well educated young woman of seventeen.Family tradition would have dictated the pursuit of an artistic career, yet Arthur decided to follow a medical one. This decision was influenced by Dr. Bryan Charles Waller, a young lodger his mother had taken-in to make ends meet. Dr. Waller had trained in the University of Edinburgh and that is where Arthur was sent to carry out his medical studies.A couple of years into his studies, Arthur decided to try his pen at writing a short story. Although the result called The Mystery of Sasassa Valley was very evocative of the works of Edgar Alan Poe and Bret Harte, his favorite authors at the time, it was accepted in an Edinburgh magazine called Chamber's Journal, which had published Thomas Hardy's first work.II.Inspiration for the character of HolmesDoyle said that the character of Sherlock Holmes was inspired by Dr. Joseph Bell, for whom Doyle had worked as a clerk at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. Like Holmes, Bell was noted for drawing large conclusions from the smallest observations. All these qualities were later to be found in the persona of the celebrated detective Sherlock Holmes. However, some years later Bell wrote in a letter to Conan Doyle: "you are yourself Sherlock Holmes and well you know it."III.Sherlock HolmesSherlock Holmes is a fictional detective created by author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A London-based "consulting detective" whose abilities border on the fantastic, Holmes is famous for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to adopt almost any disguise, and his use of forensic science skills to solve difficult cases.IV.Habits and personalityWatson describes Holmes as "bohemian" in habits and lifestyle. According to Watson, Holmes is an eccentric, with no regard for contemporary standards of tidiness or good order.1.Knowledge of Literature – nil.2.Knowledge of Philosophy – nil.3.Knowledge of Astronomy – nil.4.Knowledge of Politics – Feeble.5.Knowledge of Botany – Variable. Knowledge of Chemistry – Profound.6.Knowledge of Anatomy – Accurate, but unsystematic.7.Knowledge of Sensational Literature– Immense. Plays the violin well.8.Is an expert singlestick player, boxer and swordsman.9.Has a good practical knowledge of British law.v.Relationship with Irene AdlerIrene Adler is a retired American opera singer and actress who appears in "A Scandal in Bohemia". She is one of the most notable female characters in the series, despite appearing in only one story.To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler...yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.Ⅵ.Famous sentencesWhen you have aliminated the imporsible,whatever remains,however improbable,must be the truth.除去不可能的剩下的即使再不可能,那也是真相1ALina。
