Their only clues to the owner are whatever can be deduced from the hat itself. When Watson treats the idea as a joke, Holmes hands him a lens and asks what he can discover. Rather unwillingly, Watson picks up the worn object and begins inspecting its lining, brim, initials, and numerous stains.

"But you are joking.「冗談だろう。
What can you gather from this old battered felt?"こんな古ぼけたフェルトの帽子から、何がわかるというんだい？」
"Here is my lens.「ここにレンズがある。
You know my methods.私のやり方は知っているだろう。
What can you gather yourself as to the individuality of the man who has worn this article?"この品をかぶっていた男の人となりについて、きみ自身は何が読み取れるかね？」
I took the tattered object in my hands and turned it over rather ruefully.私はそのぼろぼろの代物を手に取り、いささか情けない気持ちでひっくり返してみた。
It was a very ordinary black hat of the usual round shape, hard and much the worse for wear.ごくありふれた、よくある丸い形の黒い帽子で、固く、すっかり傷んでいた。
The lining had been of red silk, but was a good deal discoloured.裏地はもとは赤い絹だったが、ずいぶん色があせていた。
There was no maker's name; but, as Holmes had remarked, the initials "H. B." were scrawled upon one side.製造元の名前はなかったが、ホームズの言ったとおり、片側に「H・B」という頭文字が走り書きしてあった。
It was pierced in the brim for a hat-securer, but the elastic was missing.つばには帽子留めを通す穴があいていたが、ゴムひもはなくなっていた。
For the rest, it was cracked, exceedingly dusty, and spotted in several places, although there seemed to have been some attempt to hide the discoloured patches by smearing them with ink.そのほかは、ひびが入り、ひどくほこりっぽく、あちこちに染みがあった。もっとも、色のあせたところは、インクを塗りつけて隠そうとしたらしかった。
"I can see nothing," said I, handing it back to my friend.「何もわからないよ」と私は言って、帽子を友人に返した。
