"How very absurd!「なんてばかげたことでしょう！
I never noticed that before."今まで気づきませんでした」
"Very strange!" muttered Holmes, pulling at the rope.「実に妙だ！」とホームズは紐を引っぱりながらつぶやいた。
"There are one or two very singular points about this room.「この部屋には、ごく奇妙な点がいくつかある。
For example, what a fool a builder must be to open a ventilator into another room, when, with the same trouble, he might have communicated with the outside air!"たとえば、同じ手間をかければ外の空気に通じさせられるのに、通風口を隣の部屋に開けるとは、その建築屋はなんと愚かなのだろう！」
