M:Hello, I’m Jeff Anderson from Coventry, England. And in today's program, I'd like to share with you a special kind of English culture — the football. A lot of people in England are crazy about football. During the football season, whenever there is a big match, all the flags for local football teams, such as Liverpool and Newcastle are hung outside every window or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves. There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air. Groups of young men crowd into dark packed pubs, staring at television screens. Of course, they are covered head to toe in the colors of their team. They shout and scream in sadness when their team loses a goal or with joy when there is a moment of success. You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement, as far as victories are concerned.England had its big moment in 1966 in Wimbledon Stadium. The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans. Now, whenever England is playing a big match, red and white covers every inch of every pub, a symbol of hope — the English flag. While football has never been something I'm particularly interested in. For years, I've had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support. You cannot say you don't like or do not follow football in England, as often this will lead to a long dialogue in which someone will begin telling you why you should support their team.

Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
原文
Chapter 6: Sherlock Holmes talks to the Duke
At 11 o'clock the next morning, Holmes and I were in the duke's office at Holderness Hall.
Mr. Wilder came to speak to us.
"The duke can see no one today,"he said to Holmes.
Holmes looked at him coldly.
"The duke can see me," he said, "please tell him that I am here."
After half an hour, the duke of Holderness came into the room.
He looked older, tired, and ill.
"Well, Mr.Holmes," he said.
Holmes looked at James Wilder.
"I can speak more freely without your secretary here, sir."
"Very well," said the duke tiredly, "please, James."
James Wilder gave Holmes an angry look, but he went out of the room and shut the door.
Holmes looked at the duke.
"You are offering——I hear——5000 pounds for news of your son."
"True."
"And another thousand pounds for the name of the kidnapper."
"True."
My friend smiled.
"I see your checkbook on the table, sir, I would like to have your check for 6000 pounds."
"Mr.Sherlock Holmes," the duke said angrily, "what is this about? Do you have news of my son or not?"
"Oh, yes."said Holmes.
The duke's eyes never left Holmes's face.
"Where is my son," he said quietly.
"He is,or was last night at the Green Man in 3 km along the road to Chesterfield."The duke fell back in his chair, "And the name of the kidnapper?"
Sherlock Holmes's answer was a very surprising one.
"You,"he said, "and now, sir, your check, please?"
The duke stood up, his face white and angry, then he sat down again and put his face in his hands.
It was some minutes before he spoke.
"How much do you know?" he asked.
"I saw you with him last night." said Holmes.
"And how many people know about this?"
"Only I and my friend here, Dr Watson."
The duke, took out a pen, opened his checkbook, and began to write.
"When I made this offer, I didn't know…" he stopped, then began again, "Are you and your friend going to talk about this, Mr. Holmes?"
"I don't understand you, sir," said Holmes.
"I mean, nobody needs to know about this, this little family mystery, just you and your friend Watson. Look, here is my check for 12000 pounds."
Holmes gave him a cold little smile.
"I'm sorry, sir. There is a dead man in this case, you remember?"
"But that wasn't James," cried the duke, "he knew nothing about it."
"He was very, very unhappy when he heard about the killing murder," said Holmes, "But James wasn't there, and when he heard about it, he came to me at once and told me everything."
"Oh, Mr.Holmes, you must help him, you must. He is not the murderer, the murderer ran away last night."
Holmes smiled again, "I have a little more news for you, sir. The police met Mr. Reuben Hayes last night at Chesterfield station. Mr. Hayes is not running anywhere fora very long time."
The duke looked at Holmes with an open mouth.
"You know everything." he said.
"But I am pleased to hear about Hayes. He was always a bad man and that news can only help James. James, your secretary." said Holmes.
"No, sir,my son. James Wilder, is my son."

第六章：夏洛克·福尔摩斯与公爵谈话
第二天上午11点，福尔摩斯和我在霍尔德内斯府邸的公爵办公室里。
怀尔德先生过来跟我们说话。
“公爵今天谁也不见，”他对福尔摩斯说。
福尔摩斯冷冷地看着他。
“公爵会见我，”他说，“请告诉他我在这里。”
半小时后，霍尔德内斯公爵走进了房间。
他看起来更老了，疲惫不堪，而且病容满面。
“好吧，福尔摩斯先生，”他说。
福尔摩斯看着詹姆斯·怀尔德。
“如果没有您的秘书在这里，我可以说话更随意些，先生。”
“好吧，”公爵疲惫地说，“请便，詹姆斯。”
詹姆斯·怀尔德愤怒地瞪了福尔摩斯一眼，然后走出了房间并关上了门。
福尔摩斯看着公爵。
“我听说——您正在悬赏5000英镑征求关于您儿子的消息。”
“没错。”
“另外还有一千英镑用于提供绑架者的名字。”
“没错。”
我的朋友笑了。
“我看到您的支票簿在桌子上，先生，我想要一张6000英镑的支票。”
“夏洛克·福尔摩斯先生，”公爵生气地说，“这是怎么回事？你到底有没有我儿子的消息？”
“噢，有的，”福尔摩斯说。
公爵的眼睛一刻也没有离开福尔摩斯的脸。
“我的儿子在哪里，”他轻声说。
“他在，或者说昨晚他在切斯特菲尔德公路3公里外的绿人旅馆。”公爵向后倒在椅子上，“那么绑架者的名字呢？”
夏洛克·福尔摩斯的回答非常令人惊讶。
“是你，”他说，“现在，先生，请把您的支票给我好吗？”
公爵站了起来，脸色苍白且充满怒气，然后他又坐了下来，双手捂住了脸。
过了几分钟他才开口。
“你知道多少？”他问。
“我昨晚看见你和他在一起了，”福尔摩斯说。
“有多少人知道这件事？”
“只有我和我的这位朋友华生医生。”
公爵拿出一支笔，打开他的支票簿，开始写字。
“当我做出这个承诺时，我不知道……”他停了一下，然后又接着写，“你和你的朋友会谈论这件事吗，福尔摩斯先生？”
“我不明白您的意思，先生，”福尔摩斯说。
“我的意思是，不需要让任何人知道这件事，这个小小的家庭谜团，只需要你和你的朋友华生知道。看，这是我的一万两千英镑的支票。”
福尔摩斯给了他一个冷淡的微笑。
“很抱歉，先生。在这个案子里有一个死人，你还记得吗？”
“但那不是詹姆斯干的，”公爵喊道，“他对这事一无所知。”
“当他听到杀人案的消息时，他非常、非常难过，”福尔摩斯说，“但詹姆斯当时不在那里，当他听说这件事后，他立刻来找我并告诉了我一切。”
“噢，福尔摩斯先生，你必须帮助他，你必须。他不是凶手，凶手昨晚逃跑了。”
福尔摩斯又笑了，“我还有一点消息要告诉您，先生。警察昨晚在切斯特菲尔德车站遇到了鲁本·海耶斯先生。海耶斯先生在很长一段时间里哪儿也去不了了。”
公爵张着嘴看着福尔摩斯。
“你什么都知道了，”他说。
“但我很高兴听到关于海耶斯的消息。他一直是个坏人，那个消息只能对詹姆斯有帮助。詹姆斯，你的秘书。”福尔摩斯说。“不，先生，是我的儿子。詹姆斯·怀尔德，是我的儿子。”

M:Who will join us for dinner tonight?
W:Bob and Candy. I also invited Mary, but she is out of town.
M:What a pity! I was hoping she would come.
(Text 2)
M: If I were you, I'd just walk to work. It would take you about 20 minutes. Riding a bike is a good choice, too.
W: I agree. But this week my husband is away on business, so I have to drive my kids to school before I go to work. I'm pressed for time, you know.
(Text 3)
W:It's 8:30, Dave, and you're going to be late for the meeting.
M:Oh, my! I just have half an hour left. I can't believe I slept for 10 hours.
(Text 4)
M:Hi, Helen. Where are you off to?
W: To the library. I've got a history paper due next week, and need to do some reading.
(Text 5)
W:Thank goodness! You're still here.
M:What's up?
W: I need your signature for this document. It's urgent.
(Text 6)
W:Are you all alone, Tom? Why not ask Mike to help you collect money for the Children's Centre?
M:Well, he's working on his lab report. Could you come?
W:I'd love to, but I won't be available until next week. I think Cathy will have some free time this week. Do you want me to pass on a message?
M:That'd be nice. Thanks, Jane.
(Text 7)
W:Are you leaving for the railway station now, Jack? It's so early.
M:Just avoiding the rush hour traffic. I don't want to be late.
W: So you have to wait for about two hours? I don't think there's scenery to look at.
M:Don't worry! I’ll take a book with me.
W:It's too noisy to read in the railway station. I would usually look around the shops while waiting for the train.
M:But I've already got all the gifts for my parents and sisters. I don't need to buy anything. If I really can't focus on the book, I may phone up some friends I haven't talked to in a while.
W:That's a nice idea. Betty told me last time that she often spent the waiting time writing a to-do list so that she’d not miss anything in the days to come.
M:That's an awesome idea. I’ll surely do that. Thank you, Judy. See you next year.
W:Bye!
(Text 8)
W:Hi, Bill. You look troubled. What's the matter?
M:Hi, Grace. I have a big decision to make. My uncle offered me a job as the lead engineer at his service station, and with good pay.
W:That's wonderful, but are you going to quit college?
M:That's exactly the problem. One side of me says, “Oh, go ahead! You can go back to collegeanytime. What job could you get after college that would pay you $15 an hour?That’s $30,000 a year!”
W:And then?
M:And then, the other side says, “Hold it, not so fast! For all those years you were in the army, you planned to go to college so that you would have many job possibilities to choose from. You’ve planned your whole life around going to college. And now…”
W: I can see it. It's true that with your experience in the army, you could do excellent work repairing cars if you accept the job. But you are doing very well now. Just think of the future. You will get better jobs.
(Text 9)
W:Hey, John. Can I talk to you for a minute?
M:Sure, what's up?
W: I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a few months ago. I know you do a lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.
M:Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?
W:Usually the last Saturday of the month at 7:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?
M:No, I think that's okay. What do you talk about in the group?
W:Well, every month we choose a new book. And then during the next meeting, we discuss it.
M:What books have you read?
W:Quite a lot. Recently we have read The Beautiful Mind and The Great Gatsby. Now we are reading The Kite Runner.
M:The Kite Runner ? I've heard that’s a good book. What's it about?
W:It's about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1980s.
M:That sounds interesting. I'd love to come.
W:Great! The next meeting will be held in two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.
(Text 10)
W:Today, let's begin with note-taking techniques. Note-taking is an important skill not only for taking classes, but also for doing your job in the future.I'd like to draw your attention to certain points about taking notes. First,remember that note-taking should be 75% listening and only 25% writing, so don't try to write down every single word the teacher says. Ignore what is unimportant and write in phrases, not complete sentences. Second, leave spaces and lines between main ideas. You may want to add some information later. I find that some of you are very good at making use of color, mapping web, and symbols such as arrows, circles and boxes. I highly recommend these tools to all of you, because the use of them makes the outline more easily readable and interesting than the blocks of text. It also makes sure that important words stand out. Here are some examples.

Chapter 5: Avis it to the Green Man.
When we were near the inn, Holmes suddenly cried out.
"My foot,I can't stand on it. Help me, Watson."
I took his arm and we walked slowly to the door of the inn.
A man stood there smoking and watching us.
"How are you, Mr. Ruben Hayes?" said Holmes.
"Who are you and how do you know my name," said the man.
He looked very unfriendly.
"Because it's on the door of the inn over your head," said Holmes, "but can you help me, Mr. Hayes?"
"No, I can't."
"But I need help. I can't put my foot to the ground. Well, don't put it to the ground," Holmes smiled.
"Look,"he said, "it's very important and I can offer you a pound for the use of a bicycle."
"Where do you want to go?" asked Mr. Hayes.
"To Holderness Hall."
"Oh, friends of the duke, are you?" Mr. Hayes laughed,looking at our muddy shoes and trousers.
Holmes laugh too.
"Well, we are bringing him news of his lost son," he said, "the boy is in Liverpool."
Mr. Hayes'
"Oh,"he said carefully, "that's…that's good news. I worked for the duke once,but he wasn't good to me. I don't like him, but I'm pleased about the boy."
"We allwent into the inn now," said Holmes, "something to eat first, please.Then you can bring round the bicycle."
"We all went into the inn now," said Holmes, "something to eat first, please.Then you can bring round the bicycle."
"I haven't got a bicycle," said Mr. Hayes.
Holmes put a pound on the table.
"I tell you man that I haven't got a bicycle. You can have two horses to take you to the hall."
He brought us something to eat and we ate hungrily through the window.
We could seethe stables at the back of the inn.
Once Holmes got up and walked round the room, then stood looking out of the window at the stables.
Surprisingly,his foot was now very much better.
Suddenly, he laughed and looked at me.
"I've got it," he cried, "yes, of course, that's it Watson, did you see any cow tracks today?"
"Yes,"I said, "lots of them everywhere."
"And how many cows did you see on the moor?"
"I don't remember any," I said.
"Isn't that strange, Watson? Lots of cow tracks, but no cows. And do you remember those tracks, Watson?"
He took out his notebook, there were tracks like this, and sometimes like this, and sometimes like this.
"Do you remember that, Watson?"
"No, I don't," I said, "what does it mean, Holmes?"
"It means that it's a very strange cow, Watson. Cows don't move like that. Now let's go quietly out and have a look round these stables."
There were two tired looking horses in the stables.
Holmeslooked carefully at one of the horse's feet and laughed.
"Look, Watson, old shoes but new nails. Oh, this case gets more interesting every minute."
I began to ask Holmes a question, but suddenly we heard someone behind us and there was Mr. Reuben Hayes.
His face was red and angry.
"What are you doing in my stables?" he cried.
"We're just looking at your horses, Mr. Hayes, " said Holmes, smiling, "Why are you afraid of something?"
The man opened his mouth, then closed it quickly.
His face was still red and angry.
Holmes did not give him time to speak.
"I think your horses are tired, Mr. Hayes. We can walk to the hall, it's not far."
"3 km by the road," Mr. Hayes said.
His eyes still watched us angrily.
It was nearly dark when we left.
We walked along the road for about 100 meters, then Holmes took my arm.
"Quick,Watson, off the road and up the hill. Then we can come down the hill. At the back of the inn."
We ran up the hill.
"This man, Hayes," I said, "he knows all about the kidnapping, is that right, Holmes?"
"Of course it is." He said, "we can learn a lot more from Mr. Hayes."
"Who's this, Watson? Get down."
There was a bicycle on the road, it came past us very quickly, and we saw the rider, Mr.James Wilder, the duke's secretary.
His face was white and afraid.
"Quick,Watson," said Holmes, "we must watch him."
We ran down the hill and stopped when we could see the back door of the inn.
Wild's bicycle was by the wall near the door.
For five minutes, nothing happened.
Then a man on a horse rode quickly out of the stables and disappeared down the road.
"What do you think of that, Watson?" said Holmes.
"Somebody's running away."
"Yes, but not James Wilder, because there he is at the door."
We could see Wilder in the light from the door.
He stood there looking out, and 10 minutes later, another man came down the road and went into the inn.
Then a light came on in a room.
"Upstairs.Come, Watson, we must get nearer," Holmes said, "We went down the hill and walked very quietly to the back door of the inn."
The bicycle was still by the wall.
Holmes looked at the wheel and laughed quietly.
"A Dunlop tire, Watson. Now I must look through that upstairs window, so I need your back,Watson."
Holmes stood on my back, but only for a second, and then he was down again.
"Come, my friend," he said, "it's a long walk to the school, so let's start at once. I can give you all the answers to this mystery tomorrow."
It was a long,cold, muddy walk back to the school.
I went to bed at once, but Holmes went out again to Mackleton.
I think I was very tired and slept all night like a dead man.

第五章：造访绿人旅馆
当我们快到旅馆时，福尔摩斯突然叫了起来。
“我的脚，我站不住了。帮帮我，华生。”
我扶住他的胳膊，我们慢慢地走到旅馆门口。
一个男人站在那里抽着烟看着我们。
“你好吗，鲁本·海耶斯先生？”福尔摩斯说。
“你是谁，你怎么知道我的名字，”那男人说。
他看起来非常不友善。
“因为就在你头顶上的旅馆门上写着呢，”福尔摩斯说，“但是你能帮帮我吗，海耶斯先生？”
“不，我不能。”
“但我需要帮助。我的脚不能着地。好吧，那就别让它着地，”福尔摩斯笑着说。
“听着，”他说，“这非常重要，我可以给你一英镑来借用一辆自行车。”
“你想去哪里？”海耶斯先生问。
“去霍尔德内斯府邸。”
“噢，你们是公爵的朋友，是吗？”海耶斯先生笑道，看着我们沾满泥巴的鞋子和裤子。
福尔摩斯也笑了。
“嗯，我们是来给他带去他失踪儿子的消息的，”他说，“那男孩在利物浦。”
海耶斯先生的脸变白了，然后又变红了。
“噢，”他小心翼翼地说，“那是……那是好消息。我曾经为公爵工作过，但他对我不好。我不喜欢他，但我为那个男孩感到高兴。”
“我们现在都进旅馆吧，”福尔摩斯说，“请先给点吃的。然后你可以把自行车推过来。”
“我没有自行车，”海耶斯先生说。
福尔摩斯把一英镑放在桌子上。
“我告诉你了，伙计，我没有自行车。你们可以骑两匹马去府邸。”
他给我们拿了些吃的，我们狼吞虎咽地吃着，眼睛却盯着窗外。
我们可以看到旅馆后面的马厩。
有一次福尔摩斯站起来在房间里走动，然后站在窗边看着外面的马厩。
令人惊讶的是，他的脚现在好多了。
突然，他笑了起来，看着我。
“我明白了，”他喊道，“是的，当然，就是这样，华生，你今天看到牛蹄印了吗？”
“看到了，”我说，“到处都是。”
“但是你在荒原上看到了几头牛？”
“我不记得有看到任何牛，”我说。
“这难道不奇怪吗，华生？到处都是牛蹄印，却没有牛。你还记得那些痕迹吗，华生？”
他拿出笔记本，上面画着这样的痕迹，有时是这样的，有时又是那样的。
“你记得那个吗，华生？”
“不，我不记得，”我说，“这是什么意思，福尔摩斯？”
“这意味着那是一头非常奇怪的牛，华生。牛不会那样移动。现在我们悄悄出去，看看这些马厩。”
马厩里有两匹看起来很疲惫的马。
福尔摩斯仔细地看了看其中一匹马的脚，笑了起来。
“看，华生，旧蹄铁但钉着新钉子。噢，这个案子每一分钟都变得更有趣了。”
我刚想问福尔摩斯一个问题，但突然听到身后有人，原来是鲁本·海耶斯先生。
他的脸涨得通红，怒气冲冲。
“你们在我的马厩里干什么？”他喊道。
“我们只是来看看你的马，海耶斯先生，”福尔摩斯笑着说，“你为什么害怕某些事？”
那人张开了嘴，然后又迅速闭上了。
他的脸依然通红且带着怒气。
福尔摩斯没给他说话的时间。
“我想你的马累了，海耶斯先生。我们可以走到府邸去，不远。”
“走公路要3公里，”海耶斯先生说。
他的眼睛依然愤怒地盯着我们。
当我们离开时，天快黑了。
我们沿着公路走了大约100米，然后福尔摩斯挽住了我的胳膊。
“快点，华生，离开公路上山坡。然后我们可以从山坡下去。到旅馆后面去。”
我们跑上了山坡。
“这个人，海耶斯，”我说，“他知道绑架案的一切，对吗，福尔摩斯？”
“当然是。”他说，“我们可以从海耶斯先生那里了解到更多。”
“这是谁，华生？趴下。”
路上有一辆自行车，很快地从我们身边经过，我们看到了骑车的人，詹姆斯·怀尔德先生，公爵的秘书。
他的脸色苍白，充满恐惧。
“快点，华生，”福尔摩斯说，“我们必须监视他。”
我们跑下山坡，停在能看到旅馆后门的地方。
怀尔德的自行车靠在门边的墙上。
过了五分钟，什么也没发生。
然后一个骑马的人飞快地从马厩里出来，消失在公路上。
“你怎么看那个，华生？”福尔摩斯说。
“有人在逃跑。”
“是的，但不是詹姆斯·怀尔德，因为他在那里，在门口。”
我们可以看到怀尔德站在门口的灯光下。
他站在那里向外张望，10分钟后，另一个人顺着路走来进了旅馆。
然后楼上一个房间亮起了灯。
“在楼上。来吧，华生，我们必须靠近点，”福尔摩斯说，“我们下了山坡，非常安静地走到旅馆的后门。”
自行车还在墙边。
福尔摩斯看了看车轮，轻声笑了起来。
“是邓禄普轮胎，华生。现在我必须透过那个楼上的窗户看进去，所以我需要你的后背帮忙，华生。”
福尔摩斯踩在我的背上，但只有一秒钟，然后他就下来了。
“来吧，我的朋友，”他说，“回学校的路很长，所以我们马上出发吧。明天我可以给你这个谜团的所有答案。”
回学校的路漫长、寒冷且泥泞不堪。
我立刻上床睡觉了，但福尔摩斯又出门去了麦克勒顿。
我想我是太累了，睡得像死人一样沉。

M: Good morning, everybody. Before we start the class today, I need to give you some information about our field trip on the 27th of May. As you know, we're spending the day at The Science Museum in London. A coach will pick us up in the school car park. We'll leave at 8 o'clock, so plan to be there at least fifteen minutes before that, 7:45 at the latest. You'd better set your alarms for 6:30, okay? If you've visited The Science Museum before, you'll know that it's enormous, and we can't possibly see everything in one day. The Welcome Wing has three galleries which deal only with contemporary science. We're going to have a guided tour of one of them. We've ordered lunch at the café, so we'll all meet up there at 12:30. And don't be late. We have to go to the cinema at 1:15. I think that's all for now. Oh, one last thing. Check out The Science Museum website before we go. The more you read about it, the more interesting the visit will be.

Chapter 4: The Body on the Moor
Very early the next morning, I opened my eyes and saw Holmes next to my bed.
He was already dressed.
"Come, Watson," he cried, "there is hot coffee ready for you."
We leave in 10 minutes by 6 o'clock.
We were through ragged shore, and half an hour later, we were on Lower Gilmore.
Across the middle of the moor was a small river, and the ground all around it was very wet.
"We can easily see tracks in this wet ground," said Holmes. "Look carefully,Watson."
We moved slowly across the moor, looking at every centimeter of mud.
We found hundreds of sheep tracks and once some cow tracks, but no bicycle tracks.
And then at last, we found something not far from the little river, right across some nice black mud, was the track of a bicycle.
"Hurrah,"I cried, "we have it."
But Holmes did not look happy.
"It's a bicycle, yes, but not the bicycle. Every bicycle has different tires, I know 42 different kinds of tires, this tire is a Dunlop, but Heidegger's bicycle had Palmer tires, the English teacher told me that, so this is not Heidegger, is it?"
"The boy?"Then I asked.
"Probably not, the boy didn't take a bicycle with him," said Holmes.
He looked again at the track in the mud.
"This track is going away from the school, or perhaps to the school?" I said.
"No, no,my dear Watson, look at the tracks of the two tires, are they the same?"
"No,"I said, "one tire makes a deeper track."
"And that's the back wheel," said Holmes, "because the rider, of course,sits over the back wheel. The deeper track is the one on top. So this bicycle went that way across the moor, away from the school. But who was the rider?Where did he come from?"
We followed the Dunlop track back nearly to Ragged Shore, then we lost it in some cow tracks.
Holmes sat down and thought for some minutes.
"No,"he said, "getting up. We must leave this question for now. Back to the mud by the river, Watson."
Two hours later, Holmes gave a happy cry.
I quickly ran over to him and looked down at a long, thin track in the mud.
"It was the Palmer Tiger. Here is Heidegger," cried Holmes, "let's follow him,Watson."
For a kilometer or more, we followed the Palmer tire north across the moor, losing the track, finding it again, losing it, and finding it.
Suddenly the track stopped.
"What happened here?" I said, "did he fall?"
Holmes looked carefully on the ground, then he moved to some small bushes with yellow flowers on them.
"Look,"he said quietly.
On one of the yellow flowers, there was something red, the dark brown red of blood.
"Bad,"said Holmes, "bad."
"What do I read here?"
"Something or someone hit him, he fell, he stood up, he got onto his bicycle again and rode away, but there is no other track, some cow tracks here, but no footprint.We must follow the blood, Watson."
We soon found the bicycle, and then behind a bush, we saw a shoe and found a body.
There was blood on the man's head and face, and he was very, very dead.
He had shoes on, but no socks.
And we saw a night shirt under his open coat.
"It was the German teacher? Poor man," Holmes said quietly, "what shall we do,Watson? We can't lose any more time."
"But we must tell someone about this poor man. Shall I run back to the school?" I said.
"No, I need you with me."
Holmes stood up and looked around.
"Look,"he said, "there's a workman over there, he can go back to the school for us."
I went and got the workman, and Holmes wrote a note for Dr Huxtable.
The poor workman took one look at the body and began to run quickly down the hill to Ragged Shore.
"Now,"said Holmes, "before we go on, let's think carefully for a minute. What do we know so far? First, the boy left freely. He was dressed, he did not leave suddenly.He wanted to go, perhaps with someone, perhaps not. But the German teacher left without his socks and without his shirt, so he left very suddenly."
"That's right," I said。
"And why did Heidegger go?"
"Because from his bedroom window, he saw the boy. Because he wanted to follow him and bring him back. "
"So far, so good. But why doesn't Heidegger just run after the boy? A man can easily run faster than a boy, but Heidegger doesn't do this. He gets his bicycle, he knows that he needs his bicycle, why?"
"Ah,"I said, "Because the boy has a bicycle."
"Not so fast, Watson, think about it. Heidegger dies 8 km from the school, so the boy is moving very fast, because it is 8 km before a man on a bicycle can get near him. And Heidegger dies because someone hits him very hard on the head. A boy can't do that, so there was someone with the boy, a man, let's say. But we looked very carefully at the mud all round, poor Heidegger's body, Watson. And what did we find? Some cow tracks, but nothing more, no footprints from people,no bicycle tracks."
"Holmes,"I cried, "this is not possible."
"Very good, Watson," he said, "it's not possible, so something is wrong with my thinking, what can it be?"
"Perhaps,"I said, "Heidegger broke his head in a fall in mud."
"Watson?Oh, I don't know, I just don't know. Come, come, Watson," said Holmes, "every mystery has an answer, but for now, the Palmer tire can tell us nothing more, so we must go back to the Dunlop tire."
We found the Dunlop track again and followed it north.
Here there was very little mud and we lost the track.
Across the moor, we could now see Holderness Hall some kilometers to our left.
And in front of us, we could see the Chesterfield Road.
We walked down to the road and along to the Green Man Inn.

第四章：荒原上的尸体
第二天一大早，我睁开眼，看见福尔摩斯就站在我的床边。
他已经穿戴整齐了。
“来吧，华生，”他喊道，“热咖啡已经给你准备好了。”
我们在6点前10分钟出发。
我们穿过了拉格德肖尔，半小时后，我们就到了下吉尔莫荒原。
荒原中央有一条小河，周围的地面非常潮湿。
“在这片湿地上我们可以很容易地看到痕迹，”福尔摩斯说，“仔细看，华生。”
我们慢慢地穿过荒原，仔细检查每一寸泥土。
我们发现了成百上千个羊群的足迹，还有一次是牛的足迹，但没有自行车的痕迹。
最后，在离小河不远的地方，就在一片漂亮的黑泥地上，我们发现了一个自行车的轨迹。
“好哇，”我喊道，“我们要找到了。”
但福尔摩斯看起来并不高兴。
“是一辆自行车，没错，但不是那一辆。每辆自行车的轮胎都不一样，我知道42种不同的轮胎，这个轮胎是邓禄普牌的，但海德格尔的自行车是帕尔默牌的，英语老师告诉过我，所以这不是海德格尔的，对吧？”
“那男孩呢？”接着我问道。
“可能不是，那男孩没有带走自行车，”福尔摩斯说。
他又看了看泥地上的车辙印。
“这车辙是离开学校的方向，或者是去往学校的？”我说。
“不，不，我亲爱的华生，看看那两个轮胎的痕迹，它们一样吗？”
“不一样，”我说，“有一个轮胎压出的痕迹更深。”
“那是后轮，”福尔摩斯说，“因为骑车人当然是坐在后轮上方的。更深的痕迹在上面。所以这辆自行车是那样穿过荒原的，远离学校。但是骑车人是谁？他是从哪里来的？”
我们顺着邓禄普轮胎的痕迹往回走，几乎到了拉格德肖尔，然后在一堆牛蹄印中跟丢了它。
福尔摩斯坐下来思考了几分钟。
“不，”他说着站起身来，“我们必须暂时搁置这个问题。回到河边的泥地去，华生。”
两个小时后，福尔摩斯发出了一声欣喜的喊叫。
我赶紧跑到他身边，低头看着泥地里一道细长的痕迹。
“是帕尔默老虎牌轮胎。海德格尔在这儿，”福尔摩斯喊道，“我们跟上他，华生。”
有一公里多，我们顺着帕尔默轮胎的痕迹向北穿过荒原，跟丢了，又找到，再跟丢，再找到。
突然，痕迹消失了。
“这里发生了什么？”我说，“他摔倒了吗？”
福尔摩斯仔细地查看地面，然后走到一些开着黄花的小灌木丛旁。
“看，”他轻声说。
在一朵黄色的花上，有一些红色的东西，那是像深褐色的血一样的颜色。
“糟糕，”福尔摩斯说，“糟糕。”
“我在这里能读到了什么？”
“有什么东西或者什么人撞了他，他摔倒了，他站了起来，他又骑上自行车骑走了，但是没有别的痕迹，这里有些牛蹄印，但没有人的脚印。我们必须顺着血迹走，华生。”
我们很快就找到了那辆自行车，然后在一个灌木丛后面，我们看到了一只鞋，并发现了一具尸体。
那个男人的头上和脸上都有血，而且他已经死得很透很透了。
他穿着鞋子，但没有穿袜子。
我们在敞开的上衣下面看到了一件睡衣。
“是那个德语老师？可怜的人，”福尔摩斯轻声说，“我们该怎么办，华生？我们不能再浪费时间了。”
“但我们必须把这个可怜人的事告诉别人。要我跑回学校去吗？”我说。
“不，我需要你陪着我。”
福尔摩斯站起来环顾四周。
“看，”他说，“那边有个工人，他可以替我们回学校去。”
我去把那个工人找来，福尔摩斯给赫克斯特博士写了一张便条。
那个可怜的工人看了一眼尸体，就开始飞快地向山下跑去拉格德肖尔。
“现在，”福尔摩斯说，“在我们继续之前，让我们仔细想一分钟。到目前为止我们知道什么？首先，那男孩是自愿离开的。他穿戴整齐，他不是突然离开的。他想走，也许是和某人一起，也许不是。但是那个德语老师没穿袜子和衬衫就离开了，所以他走得非常突然。”
“没错，”我说。
“海德格尔为什么要走？”
“因为从卧室的窗户，他看见了那个男孩。因为他想跟着他并把他带回来。”
“目前为止还不错。但海德格尔为什么不直接跑去追那个男孩呢？一个成年人肯定能跑得比男孩快，但海德格尔没有这样做。他骑上了他的自行车，他知道他需要自行车，为什么？”
“啊，”我说，“因为那个男孩有一辆自行车。”
“别急着下结论，华生，想一想。海德格尔死在离学校8公里的地方，所以那男孩移动得非常快，因为要骑8公里自行车才能追上一个人。而且海德格尔死了是因为有人重重地击打他的头部。一个男孩做不到这一点，所以有人和那男孩在一起，一个男人，我们可以这么说。但是我们非常仔细地查看了周围所有的泥地，可怜的华德格尔的尸体周围，华生。我们发现了什么？一些牛蹄印，仅此而已，没有人的脚印，没有自行车的痕迹。”
“福尔摩斯，”我喊道，“这不可能。”
“很好，华生，”他说，“这是不可能的，所以我的思路哪里出错了，会是什么呢？”
“也许，”我说，“海德格尔是在泥地里摔倒时磕破了头。”
“华生？噢，我不知道，我就是不知道。来吧，来吧，华生，”福尔摩斯说，“每个谜团都有一个答案，但现在，帕尔默轮胎不能告诉我们更多了，所以我们必须回到邓禄普轮胎那里去。”
我们又找到了邓禄普轮胎的痕迹并向北跟随它。
这里的泥土很少，我们跟丢了痕迹。
穿过荒原，我们现在可以看到左边几公里外的霍尔德内斯府邸。
而在我们面前，我们可以看到切斯特菲尔德公路。

M: Hello, everybody! Today, I’d like to share with you something about John Audubon. John was born on April 26,1785. He spent much of his childhood in France where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States.
Well,actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first,John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds, and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot.
In 1819, John realized that he didn’t have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family, so he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.

Chapter 3:Holmes and Watson go north
It was dark when we arrived at Dr Huxtable's famous school in the northern hills.
We went quickly into the building, out of the cold.
And at once,someone ran up with news for Dr Huxtable.
He looked very surprised here.
"The duke is here," he told us, "The duke and Mr. Wilder, his secretary, are inmy office and come and meet them."
The government minister was a tall man with a long, thin face.
He had red hair and a great red beard.
He looked at us and did not smile.
Next to him stood Mr. Wilder, a very young man.
He was small,with blue eyes and a watchful face.
He spoke first, "The duke is surprised, Dr Huxtable, to see Mr.Sherlock Holmes here. He doesn't want people to know about this, you know that.So why didn't you speak to the duke before you went to London?"
"But we need help," said Dr Huxtable, "and I…"
"Well,"said the duke, "Mr. Holmes is here now, and perhaps he can help us."
He looked at Holmes.
"I'd like you to come and stay at Holderness Hall. Mr. Holmes."
"Thank you, sir," said Holmes, "but I would like to stay near to the mystery here at the school. Can I ask you one or two questions, perhaps?"
"Of course," said the duke.
"My questions are about the duchess and about money," said Holmes.
"The duchess knows nothing about this," said the duke, "And nobody is asking me for money."
"I see,"said Holmes.
"You wrote a letter to your son before he disappeared. When did you post it?"
"Post it?" said Mr. Wilder angrily, "The duke does not post letters. I put the letter into the post bag with all the other letters that day."
A minute or two later, the Duke and Mr. Wilder left.
Holmes then began at once to work on the case.
We looked carefully all through the boy's bedroom and the German teacher's room.
We looked at the ivy on the wall and we saw the footprints under the German teacher's window, but we learnt nothing new.
Holmes then left the house and only came back after 11 o'clock.
He had with him a large map.
He brought it into my room and put it on the bed.
"This case is beginning to get interesting, Watson," he said, "look at this map, here is the school, you see, and here is the road, so did the boy and the teacher go along the road when they left? No,Watson, they did not."
"How do you know that, Holmes?" I asked.
"Because there was a policeman here. Look, he was there from midnight to 6 in the morning and he saw nobody on the road. I spoke to him this evening. And here at the other end, you see, is the white house in. A woman there was ill and the family watched the road all night waiting for the doctor.The doctor didn't come until the morning, and the family saw nobody on the road, so the boy and the teacher did not go by road."
"But Holmes, what about the bicycle?" I asked.
"Yes, Watson, we must remember the bicycle, of course. But first, let's look to the south and the north. To the south, we have a big river, no bicycles there then. And to the north, we have the trees called Ragged Shore, and then a great moor, the Lower Gilmore. And here is Holderness Hall, 16 km from the school by road, but only 9 km across the moor, no other houses until the Green Man Inn along the Chesterfield Road."
"But the bicycle," I said again.
"Yes,yes, Watson," Holmes said, "it is possible to ride a bicycle across the moor, difficult, but possible."
Just then, Dr Huxtable came quickly into the room.
"News, Mr.Holmes," he said excitedly, "I bring news."
In his hands was a blue school hat.
"Look,this is the boy's hat, one of my gardeners found it this evening.
"Where? Man,where?" asked Holmes.
"Just north of Ragged Shore," said Dr Huxtable.
"Aha,"said Holmes, "what did I tell you? Watson, tomorrow we must walk north across the moor."

第三章：福尔摩斯与华生北上
当我们抵达位于北部山区的赫克斯特博士那所著名学校时，天色已晚。
为了躲避严寒，我们匆匆走进了大楼。
刚一进门，就有人跑来给赫克斯特博士报信。
他看起来非常惊讶。“公爵在这里，”他告诉我们，“公爵和他的秘书怀尔德先生正在我的办公室里，快去见见他们。”
那位政府大臣是个高个子，脸型瘦长。
他有一头红发和浓密的红色胡须。
他看着我们，脸上没有一丝笑意。
站在他旁边的是怀尔德先生，一个非常年轻的男子。
他身材矮小，蓝眼睛，神情警惕。
怀尔德先开口了：“公爵很惊讶会在这里看到夏洛克·福尔摩斯先生。你知道，他不想让公众知道这件事。所以为什么你在去伦敦之前不先跟公爵说一声呢？”
“但是我们需要帮助，”赫克斯特博士说，“而且我……”
“好吧，”公爵说道，“既然福尔摩斯先生已经到了，也许他能帮上我们的忙。”
他看向福尔摩斯，“福尔摩斯先生，我想请你去霍尔德内斯府邸住下。”
“谢谢您，先生，”福尔摩斯回答，“但我更愿意待在学校附近，方便调查这个谜团。或许我可以问您一两个问题吗？”
“当然可以，”公爵说。
“我的问题是关于公爵夫人和钱的，”福尔摩斯说。
“公爵夫人对此一无所知，”公爵回答道，“而且没有人向我要钱。”
“我明白了，”福尔摩斯说，“您在儿子失踪前给他写过一封信。您是什么时候寄出的？”
“寄出？”怀尔德生气地说，“公爵从不亲自寄信。那天是我把那封信和其他所有的信件一起放进邮袋里的。”
一两分钟后，公爵和怀尔德先生离开了。
随后，福尔摩斯立刻开始着手调查这个案子。
我们仔细地检查了那个男孩的卧室和那位德语老师的房间。
我们查看了墙上的常春藤，也观察了德语老师窗下的脚印，但并没有发现什么新线索。
接着福尔摩斯离开了房子，直到11点过后才回来。
他带着一张大地图。他把地图带进我的房间，铺在床上。
“华生，这个案子开始变得有趣了，”他说，“看看这张地图，这里是学校，你看，这里是公路。那么，那个男孩和老师离开时是沿着公路走的吗？不，华生，他们没有。”
“你怎么知道的，福尔摩斯？”我问。
“因为这里当时有一名警察。看，他从午夜一直值守到早上6点，他在路上没看见任何人。我今天晚上和他谈过了。还有，在另一头，你看，那里有一所白房子。那家有个女人病了，全家人整晚都在盯着路等医生。医生直到早上才来，而那家人也没在路上看到任何人。所以，那个男孩和老师不是走公路离开的。”
“可是福尔摩斯，那辆自行车呢？”我问。
“是的，华生，我们当然必须考虑到那辆自行车。但首先，让我们看看南边和北边。往南，有一条大河，那里没法骑自行车。往北，有一片叫‘拉格德肖尔’的树林，然后是一片巨大的荒原，叫做下吉尔莫荒原。这里是霍尔德内斯府邸，走公路离学校有16公里，但穿过荒原只有9公里。沿着切斯特菲尔德公路，在到达绿人旅馆之前没有其他房屋。”
“但是那辆自行车，”我又说了一遍。
“是的，是的，华生，”福尔摩斯说，“骑自行车穿过荒原是有可能的，虽然困难，但是可行。”
就在这时，赫克斯特博士快步走进了房间。
“消息，福尔摩斯先生，”他激动地说，“我有消息了。”
他手里拿着一顶蓝色的学生帽。
“看，这是那个男孩的帽子，我的一个园丁今晚发现的。”
“在哪里？伙计，在哪里？”福尔摩斯问道。
“就在拉格德肖尔的北边，”赫克斯特博士说。

W: Excuse me, sir. Visiting hours are over now. Your wife must get some rest.
M: Oh, I'm sorry, doctor. I didn't hear the bell, or I would have left earlier.
Text2
M: Hello, my name is Jack. I need to get in shape. How do I register for the classes?
M: We'll need you to join the gym, and then you could find out which classes fit your schedule the best.
Text3
W: I'll see you at the theater.
M: Better still, let's meet in the Red Lion bar to have a nice little talk.
W: Good idea. And I'd love to have a drink there.

M: Hello, my name is John Arbor. And I'm calling to ask about the position advertised in Friday's Daily Mail.
M: Yes, the position is still open.You could come over and have a talk with us.

M: I have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. Would you like to join me?
W: Thanks! But I already have one. You can ask Emily. She might be interested.
Text6
W: Did you know James went out of business?
M: Really? When was that?
W: Last month.
M: That's too bad. He had owned that business for 15 years. What happened?
W: I don't know. But life must be pretty tough for his family now. His sons are still so young; one is 13, and the other is ten.
M: Well, maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be.
W: I hope so.
Text7
W: Guess what? My mother's decided to go back to school!
M: Why?
W: Well, she always loved art, but learned business administration at college because her parents thought it was difficult for an artist to find a job.
M: So, she wants to study art now?
W: Yeah, oil painting. It's been her dream for a long time.
M: It's nice to return to learn what she loves. But, Kate, I still think old age should be about peace and relaxation.Hurrying to school every day and having to pass exams sounds a bit too much for her.
W: You know, she retired last year and I'm leaving for the university soon. She needs to find something interesting to do.
M: Well, maybe, if it's what she wants.

M: Dear listeners, for today's show, I have with my colleague, Mary Laney. She has been a radio TV reporter for many years.Mary, welcome to our show.
W: It's a pleasure to be here.
M: Would you please tell our listeners who most influenced your decision to become are porter?
W: Both my parents had a great influence upon my choices of work. Instead of trying to pick out a job for me, they helped me learn those things that led me to it.
M: How did they do that?
W: My father always told me that an education was one of the greatest advantages I could have, one that would always stay with me. He used to tell me that readers were leaders, and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I've always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read news magazines and learned to really enjoy books,all of which have been an invaluable help to me in radio and television reporting.
M: What about your mother?
W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way.
Text9
M: We all know that exercise is good for us. But sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.
W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise.
M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn't really help our motivation much.
W: Don't be discouraged. Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn't have to be that demanding.Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University, has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.
M: Hmm...interesting.
W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20%lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercise 150 minutes a week did pretty well, too,lowering their death risk by 14%.
M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that, like what I probably do? Does that help?
W: Of course. Even 15 minutes would help.
Text10
W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers.Scientists have painted a long road red, yellow, and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. "The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic,"biology student Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngsters' feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multi-colored road this summer. And if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.

原文
Chapter 2: Dr Huxtable's Story
"My school, The Priory School near Mackleton is the best school for young boys in England," began Dr Huxtable,
"we have the sons of Lord Solmes, Lord Lever, and of many other important people.
Three weeks ago, Mr. James Wilder, the Duke of Holderness's secretary, came to see me.
The duke, he said, wanted to send his son, the 10-year-old Lord Saltire, to my school.
On 1 May,young Lord Saltire arrived.
He's a nice boy, and he soon began to like school life and to make friends.
His life at home, you see, was not very happy.
We all know about the duke and his wife, the Duchess, of course, now lives in the south of France.
She left the duke about three months ago, I think.
But the boy loved his mother and was very unhappy when she left.
Because of this, the duke sent him to my school.
And after two weeks with us, he was much happier.
Then on the night of 13 May, he disappeared.
The way to his bedroom is through another, larger room.
Two older boys sleep there.
One of them never sleeps very well, and he heard and saw nothing that night.
So young Arthur did not go out through that room.
His window was open and there is ivy all up the wall of the house.
It is easy to get out of the window and down the ivy to the ground.
So we think that he went out that way.
He was in his usual school things; we think a short black coat and dark blue trousers.
We looked all through his room very carefully, but we found nothing strange, nothing unusual.
When I learnt the news at 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning, I called everybody into the big schoolroom, then we learnt more bad news.
Heidegger, the German teacher, was missing too.
His room is not far from Arthur's room.
Heidegger went down the ivy.
We know this because we found his footprints on the ground under the window.
We know too,that he was only in his coat, trousers and shoes, because we found his shirt and his socks on the floor of his room, and he took his bicycle with him.
Heidegger came to the school a year ago.
He's a good teacher, but the boys don't like him because he isn't very friendly.
So Mr. Holmes,we have two missing people, it's now Thursday and there's still no news of them."
Holmes took out a little notebook and began to write things down.
"The boy didn't go home, of course?" He said.
"No, no,we asked at Holderness Hall at once," said Dr Huxtable, "the duke is very afraid for his son,and I am the unhappiest man in England. Mr. Holmes, you are a famous detective,please help me."
"You make things very difficult for me," Holmes said, "how can I find marks in the ivy or on the ground after three days? Why didn't you come to me at once?"
"Because of the duke," Dr Huxtable said, "he doesn't like people talking about his unhappy family life."
"And what are the police doing?"
"Well,they heard about a boy and a young man at the station early on Tuesday, they looked for them and last night they found them in Liverpool. But it was a man and his son going to visit a friend. We lost three days because of that. Andlast night, I couldn't sleep, so I took the first train down to London this morning."
"Well, Dr Huxtable, some more questions," said Holmes, " did the boy take German lessons?"
"No, so he didn't know the German teacher well, then he probably never spoke to him,"said Dr Huxtable.
"Emmm", said Holmes, "does the boy have a bicycle?"
"No."
"Was any other bicycle missing?"
"No."
"So did the German teacher ride away on his bicycle in the night with the boy on his back?"
"I don't think so."
"But what happened to the bicycle? Now, what about visitors? Did the boy have any visitors the day before?"
"No."
"Did he get any letters?"
"Yes, one letter from his father."
"Do you open the boy's letters? Dr Huxtable."
"No."
"Then how do you know that the letter was from the father?"
"I know the duke's handwriting and he says that he wrote a letter to his son."
"Did the boy get any letters from France?"
"No, I never saw any."
"Do you understand me? Dr Huxtable," Holmes said, "did someone take the boy away, or did the boy go freely because he had a letter from France?"
"Perhaps?I don't know," said Dr Huxtable, "he only had letters from his father,I think."
"Were father and son very friendly?"
"The duke is not chump, not a very friendly man, Mr. Holmes. He's not a bad father, but he is a government minister and has a lot of things to do."
"So the boy felt more friendly to his mother?"
"Yes."
"Did he say that?"
"No."
"Did the duke tell you that?"
"Oh no,the duke never talks about things like that."
"So how do you know?"
"Mr.James Wilder, the duke's secretary told me."
"I see,"said Holmes, "that last letter of the duke. Where is it now?"
"The boy took it with him," Dr Huxtable said, "it's not in his room. Mr.Holmes."
"Our train leaves in half an hour, right?" said Holmes.
He looked at me, "Watson, let's get ready and go off to the north with Dr Huxtable,perhaps we can find some answers to this mystery."

第二章：赫克斯特博士的故事
“我的学校——位于马克勒顿附近的修道院公学，是英格兰最适合男孩就读的学校，”赫克斯特博士开始说道，
“我们的学生中有索尔姆斯勋爵、莱弗勋爵的子女，以及许多其他重要人物的子弟。
三周前，霍尔德诺斯公爵的秘书詹姆斯·怀尔德先生来看过我。
他说，公爵想把他的儿子——十岁的萨蒂里勋爵送到我的学校来。
5 月 1 日，年轻的萨蒂里勋爵到了这里。
他是一个很可爱的孩子，很快他就开始喜欢上学生活，并交到了朋友。
你瞧，他在家里的生活并不愉快。
当然，我们都了解那位公爵和他的夫人——公爵夫人如今住在法国南部。
我想，她大约三个月前离开了公爵。
但这个孩子爱他的母亲，母亲离开时他非常难过。
因为这个原因，公爵把他送到了我的学校。
在我们这里待了两周后，他变得开心多了。
然后在 5 月 13 日的晚上，他失踪了。
他去卧室的路要经过另一个较大的房间。
那里住着两个年长的男孩。
其中一人晚上睡得不太好，那天晚上他什么也没听到也没看到。
所以年轻的阿瑟没有从那个房间出去。
他的窗户是开着的，房子的墙上爬满了常春藤。从窗户爬出去，沿着藤蔓滑到地面是很容易的。
所以我们认为他是从那个方向出去的。
他当时穿着平常上学时穿的衣服；我们猜测是一件短款的黑色外套和深蓝色的长裤。
我们仔细地在他的房间里搜查了一遍，但没有发现任何奇怪或不寻常的东西。
周二早上七点我得知这个消息时，把大家召集到了大教室里，然后我们又听到了更多的坏消息。
德国教师海德格尔也失踪了。
他的房间离阿瑟的房间不远。
海德格尔是沿着藤蔓下去的。
因为我们发现窗下的地上有他的脚印，所以我们知道这一点。
我们也知道他只穿着外套、长裤和鞋子，因为我们在他的房间里找到了他的衬衫和袜子，而且他还带着自行车。
海德格尔一年前来到这所学校。
他是一位好老师，但学生们不喜欢他，因为他不太友好。
所以，福尔摩斯先生，我们有两个人失踪了，现在已经是星期四了，还没有他们的消息。”
福尔摩斯拿出一个小笔记本，开始写东西。
“这个男孩没有回家，对吧？”他说。
“不，不，我们立刻就去了霍尔德内斯庄园，”赫克斯特博士说道，“公爵非常担心他的儿子，而我是全英国最不开心的人。福尔摩斯先生，您是一位著名的侦探，请帮帮我吧。”
“你让我很为难。”福尔摩斯说，“过了三天，我怎么能在常春藤上或地上找到痕迹呢？您为什么不早点来找我呢？”
“因为公爵的缘故，”赫克斯特博士说道，“他不喜欢人们谈论他不幸的家庭生活。”
“那警察在做什么呢？”
“嗯，周二一大早他们就在局里听说了一个男孩和一个年轻人，就去找了他们，昨晚他们在利物浦找到了他们。但那是个男人和他的儿子，他们去拜访一位朋友。我们因为这个耽搁了三天。昨晚我睡不着，所以今天早上我坐第一班火车去了伦敦。”
“赫克斯特博士，还有些问题要问您，”福尔摩斯说道，“那个男孩上过德语课吗？”
“没有，所以他和德语老师不太熟，然后他可能从没和他说过话，”赫克斯特博士说道。
“嗯...”福尔摩斯说到，“那男孩有自行车吗？”
“不。”
“还有其他自行车丢失了吗？”“不。”
“那位德国老师是不是在夜间骑着自行车带着那个男孩离开了呢？”“我不这么认为。”
“但是那辆自行车后来怎么样了呢？再来说说访客们的情况吧。那天早上，那个男孩有没有接待过什么访客呢？”“不。”
“他收到过信件吗？”
“是的，有一封是他父亲寄来的信。”
“您会打开这个男孩的信件吗？赫克斯特博士。”“不。”
“那你怎么知道这封信是父亲写的呢？”
“我知道公爵的笔迹，而且他说他给儿子写过一封信。”
“这个孩子从法国收到过信吗？”
“没有，我从未见过。”
“你明白我的意思吗，赫克斯特博士？”福尔摩斯说道，“是有人把这个孩子带走的，还是因为有来自法国的信，这个孩子能自由离开呢？”
“也许吧。我不知道，”赫克斯特博士说道，“我觉得他只有父亲的信。”
“父子俩关系很亲密吗？”
“公爵可不是个傻瓜，也不是个很友善的人，福尔摩斯先生。他不是个坏父亲，但他是个政府官员，有很多事情要处理。”
“所以这个孩子对他的母亲更亲近些？”“是的。”
“他说过这话吗？”“不。”
“公爵跟你说过这事吗？”
“没有啊，公爵从不谈论这类事情。”
“那你又是怎么知道的？”
“是詹姆斯·怀尔德先生告诉我的，他是公爵的秘书。”
“我明白了，”福尔摩斯说道，“公爵的最后一封信。现在它在哪里？”
“那个孩子把它带走了，”赫克斯特博士说，“不在他的房间里。福尔摩斯先生。”
“我们的火车半小时后就要开了，对吧？”福尔摩斯说道。
他看着我，“华生，咱们准备好跟赫克斯塔普医生一起向北出发吧，也许我们能找到答案。” -
