又发现一个：
“Quite a family party,” he remarked. “I think I shall have a pull at that flask, Holmes. Well, I think we may all congratulate each other. Pity we didn’t take the other alive, but there was no choice. I say, Holmes, you must confess that you cut it rather fine. It was all we could do to overhaul her.”
这时，埃瑟尔尼·琼斯向舱内伸进头来，说道：“你们真象一家人在团聚。福尔摩斯，请给我一些酒喝。咱们大家都该互相庆贺啊。可惜那一个没有被咱们活捉，那也没有办法。福尔摩斯，亏得你下手在先，不然会遭到他的毒手呢。”
最后一个her肯定是指船，译者误会了。最后一句话的意思：福尔摩斯，你必须承认，这次实在是太凶险了，我们警方拼尽全力才赶上那条船。

“This was quite too good to lose, Watson. I was just balancing whether I should run for it, or whether I should perch behind her landau when a cab came through the street. The driver looked twice at such a shabby fare, but I jumped in before he could object. ‘The Church of St. Monica,’ said I, ‘and half a sovereign if you reach it in twenty minutes.’ It was twenty-five minutes to twelve, and of course it was clear enough what was in the wind.
“华生，这是不可错过的好机会。我正权衡是应当赶上去呢，还是应当攀在车后时，恰好一辆出租马车从这街上经过。赶车人对那菲薄的车费瞧了又瞧。但我在他可能表示不干之前就跳进车里。'圣莫尼卡教堂，'我说，‘给你半镑金币，要是你在二十分钟之内赶到那里的话。'那时是十一点三十五分，将要发生什么事情，那当然是很清楚的。
这个错误比较大了，半磅金币对于车夫来说是很大一笔钱了。fare在这里是“乘客”的意思，译者只知道“车费”的意思，强行翻译，导致较大的违和感。

看来一词多义比较招苍蝇……
Ordering my cab to wait, I passed down the steps, worn hollow in the centre by the ceaseless tread of drunken feet……
我叫马车停下来等着，便顺着那门路走下往。这门路的石级中部已被川流不息的醉汉们双脚踩磨得凹陷不平
hollow有“凹陷”的意思吗？

Yet his actions were in absurd contrast to the dignity of his dress and features, for he was running hard, with occasional little springs, such as a weary man gives who is little accustomed to set any tax upon his legs.
这应该已经是第三次了，用不定式代替动名词。另外，这种语序"a weary man gives who is..."，对于中国阅读者总是不太友好……

It is, of course, well known to you that in a successful banking business as much depends upon our being able to find remunerative investments for our funds as upon our increasing our connection and the number of our depositors.
这句话理解起来并不难，但是读了好几遍都发觉不顺，仔细分析一下以后……从句里面没有谓语！
各位帮我确认一下？
顺便再次发个牢骚：as的用法实在是太……

《铜山毛榉案》一上来就把我整蒙了：
“TO THE man who loves art for its own sake,” remarked Sherlock Holmes, tossing aside the advertisement sheet of the Daily Telegraph, “it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived. It is pleasant to me to observe, Watson, that you have so far grasped this truth that in these little records of our cases which you have been good enough to draw up, and, I am bound to say, occasionally to embellish, you have given prominence not so much to the many causes célèbres and sensational trials in which I have figured but rather to those incidents which may have been trivial in themselves, but which have given room for those faculties of deduction and of logical synthesis which I have made my special province.”
“And yet,” said I, smiling, “I cannot quite hold myself absolved from the charge of sensationalism which has been urged against my records.”
“You have erred, perhaps,” he observed, taking up a glowing cinder with the tongs and lighting with it the long cherry-wood pipe which was wont to replace his clay when he was in a disputatious rather than a meditative mood–“you have erred perhaps in attempting to put colour and life into each of your statements instead of confining yourself to the task of placing upon record that severe reasoning from cause to effect which is really the only notable feature about the thing.”
老派英国人真的会在对话中说出一句带5个定语从句的句子吗？
最后一句话是不是把“that severe....”后置了？本来应该是在upon record之前？

Colonel Ross, who had shown some signs of impatience at my companion’s quiet and systematic method of work, glanced at his watch. “I wish you would come back with me, Inspector,” said he.“There are several points on which I should like your advice, and especially as to whether we do not owe it to the public to remove our horse’s name from the entries for the cup.”
“Certainly not,” cried Holmes with decision. “I should let the name stand.”
The colonel bowed. “I am very glad to have had your opinion, sir,” said he. “You will find us at poor Straker’s house when you have finished your walk, and we can drive together into Tavistock.”
罗斯上校对我的伙伴这样从容不迫、有条不紊的工作方法，感到非常不耐烦，看了看他的表。“我希望你和我一起回去，警长，”罗斯上校说道，“有几件事，我想听一听你的意见，特别是，我们要不要向公众声明，把我们的那骑马的名字从参加赛马的名单中取消。”
　　“当然不必了，”福尔摩斯果断地高声说道，“我一定能让它参加比赛。”上校点了点头。
　　“听到你的意见，我很高兴，先生，”罗斯上校说道，“请你在荒原上走一走之后，到可怜的斯特雷克家找我们，然后我们一起乘车到塔维斯托克镇去。”
最后一个drive不是乘车的意思，上校在嘲讽福尔摩斯，认为他不可能找回丢失的赛马，最后一句话的意思是“等你把它找回来，我们一起骑着马过去”

突然发现一个挺有意思的话题：
直接引语后，可以倒装（“……”，says he），那么，如果把he改成I，是否可以？say要不要把s去掉？当然，很少见到这样的形式，小说里面的用法也不能当做标准，因为是一个门童说的话，作者经常用错误的语法来暗示说话人的受教育程度不足。
"How long did he wait?"
"Half an hour, sir. He was a very restless gentleman, sir, a-walkin' and a-stampin' all the time he was here. I was waitin' outside the door, sir, and I could hear him. At last he outs into the passage, and he cries, 'Is that man never goin' to come?' Those were his very words, sir. 'You'll only need to wait a little longer,' says I. 'Then I'll wait in the open air, for I feel half choked,' says he. 'I'll be back before long.' And with that he ups and he outs, and all I could say wouldn't hold him back."

He was clad in a professional but rather slovenly fashion, for his frock-coat was dingy and his trousers frayed. Though young, his long back was already bowed, and he walked with a forward thrust of his head and a general air of peering benevolence.
他穿的是他这一行人常爱穿的衣服，可是相当落拓，因为他的外衣已经脏了，裤子也已磨损。虽然还年轻，可是长长的后背已经弯曲了，他在走路的时候头向前探着，并具有贵族般的慈祥风度。
peering benevolence 如果peer是含有“贵族”的意思，那么不应该用分词形式表示。查了词典，peer可以当动词用：
verb
archaic make or become equal with or of the same rank〈古〉使与…相当, 使与…地位相等
虽然从前文的外貌描写中看不出人物的仁慈，但是考虑的他的职业是乡村医生（country practitioner），英国人大概也认为“医者仁心”吧。

So the drunken squires cursed the shepherd and rode onward. But soon their skins turned cold, for there came a galloping across the moor, and the black mare, dabbled with white froth, went past with trailing bridle and empty saddle.
《冰与火之歌》里面对于froth的翻译就有问题，这个特别注意了一下，果然也错了。
"那些醉鬼老爷们骂了那牧人一顿就又骑着马赶了下去。可是不久他们就被吓得浑身发冷了。因为他们听到沼地里传来了马跑的声音，随后就看到了那匹黑马，嘴里流着白沫跑了过去，鞍上无人，缰绳拖在地上。"
froth这里是指lather，不是口中的白沫，而是身体上的汗水，会反射出白色光泽。这里还有一个难点：dabbled。即使用了新牛晶，没有合适的意思，我一度怀疑是不是原版就是错的，把dappled印成了dabbled。结果发现了dabble的意思：Wetted by splashing; casually or irregularly wetted; stained or soiled with water, blood, mud, etc.
另外，trailing bridle，并不一定说明缰绳拖在了地上，只是说明没有骑手所以缰绳就这么晃荡着（很可能没有长到可以拖到地上）。

Their evidence, corroborated by that of several friends, tends to show that Sir Charles’s health has for some time been impaired, and points especially to some affection of the heart, manifesting itself in changes of colour, breathlessness, and acute attacks of nervous depression.
他们的已被几个朋友证实了的证词说明：查尔斯爵士曾有健康情况不良之征象，尤其是几点心脏症状；表现在面色改变、呼吸困难和严重的神经衰弱。死者的朋友和私人医生詹姆士·莫蒂默也提供了同样的证明。
points和前面的tends一样，是动词，“指向”的意思，译者翻译成了名词“几点”。

“I find that before the terrible event occurred several people had seen a creature upon the moor which corresponds with this Baskerville demon, and which could not possibly be any animal known to science. They all agreed that it was a huge creature, luminous, ghastly, and spectral. I have cross-examined these men, one of them a hard-headed countryman, one a farrier, and one a moorland farmer, who all tell the same story of this dreadful apparition, exactly corresponding to the hell-hound of the legend. I assure you that there is a reign of terror in the district, and that it is a hardy man who will cross the moor at night.”
最后半句话，怎么看都跟莎士比亚的《威尼斯商人》里的那句“It is a wise father that knows his own son.”一个味道，而译文是：敢在夜晚走过沼地的人可以算是大胆的人了。
@乾元_用九 @八尺水区我光治 大神们怎么看？

It was a remarkable face, bold gray eyes, a strong, short-clipped, grizzled moustache, a square, projecting chin, and a humorous mouth.
这是一张非同寻常的面孔——一双勇敢刚毅的灰色大眼睛，剪短了的灰白色胡须，突出的方下巴，嘴角浮现出幽默感来。
从上下文看，这里不应该跟“幽默感”有任何关系。
humorous的一个生僻的解释：
humorous['hju:mərəs]adj.1.■[古语]湿润的；潮润的2.■【生物学、生理学】体液的
我觉得应该是嘴唇湿润的意思。
