Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Знак четырех (ASCII-IPA)

"Hum! There's a flaw there (хм! это неувязка; flaw — трещина, щель, порок; упущение, ошибка). Let us apply common sense to the matter (давайте-ка применим к проблеме здравый смысл). This Thaddeus Sholto was with his brother (этот Тадеуш Шолто действительно был с братом); there was a quarrel: so much we know (ссора действительно случилась — это мы знаем). The brother is dead and the jewels are gone (брат мертв, а драгоценности пропали). So much also we know (это мы также знаем). No one saw the brother from the time Thaddeus left him (никто не видел брата, после того как Тадеуш ушел от него). His bed had not been slept in (постель его нетронута; to sleep — спать). Thaddeus is evidently in a most disturbed state of mind (Тадеуш, очевидно, сильно взволнован: «в чрезвычайно возбужденном состоянии духа»; to disturb — волновать, тревожить, беспокоить). His appearance is — well, not attractive (его внешний вид… ну, не привлекательный). You see that I am weaving my web round Thaddeus (вы видите, что я плету сеть вокруг Тадеуша; to weave — ткать; плести; web — паутина; сеть). The net begins to close upon him (сеть начинает затягиваться на нем)."

"You are not quite in possession of the facts yet," said Holmes (вы еще не вполне владеете фактами, — сказал Холмс; possession — владение, обладание). "This splinter of wood, which I have every reason to believe to be poisoned (этот шип: «эта деревянная щепка», который у меня есть все основания считать отравленным), was in the man's scalp where you still see the mark (был в голове убитого, где все еще виден след; scalp — кожа черепа, кожа головы); this card, inscribed as you see it, was on the table (эта записка — прочитайте, что в ней написано — была на столе; card — карта; карточка; to inscribe — записывать, вписывать); and beside it lay this rather curious stone-headed instrument (рядом с ней лежал этот довольно любопытный инструмент с каменным набалдашником; head — голова; верхняя часть; набалдашник). How does all that fit into your theory (как все это согласуется с вашей теорией; to fit — быть впору; соответствовать)?"

"On which the dead man very considerately got up and locked the door on the inside."
