| Sherlock Holmes | Sherlock Holmes |
| Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the world famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, was not above telling tales about himself in which he was the laughing stock. Here is one of those stories. | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, o criador do detetive mundialmente famoso, Sherlock Holmes, não hesitava em contar histórias sobre si mesmo nas quais era motivo de chacota. Aqui está uma dessas histórias. |
| As he tells it, he was waiting at a taxi stand outside the railway station in Paris. | Como ele conta, ele estava esperando em um ponto de táxi em frente à estação ferroviária de Paris. |
| When a taxi pulled up,he put his suitcase in it and got in himself. | Quando um táxi parou, ele colocou sua mala dentro do carro e entrou. |
| As he was about to tell the taxi driver where he wanted to go, the driver asked him: | Quando ia dizer ao taxista para onde queria ir, o motorista perguntou-lhe: |
| "Where can I take you, Mr. Doyle?" | "Onde posso levá-lo, Sr. Doyle?" |
| Doyle was flabbergasted. | Doyle ficou pasmo. |
| He asked the driver whether he knew him by sight. | Ele perguntou ao motorista se o conhecia de vista. |
| The driver said: "No Sir, I have never seen you before." | O motorista disse: "Não, senhor, nunca o vi antes." |
| The puzzled Doyle asked him what made him think that he was Conan Doyle. | O intrigado Doyle perguntou o que o fazia pensar que ele era Conan Doyle. |
| The driver replied: "This morning's paper had a story about you being on vacation in Marseilles. This is the taxi stand where people who return from Marseilles always come to. Your skin colour tells me you have been on vacation. The ink spot on your right index finger suggests to me that you are a writer. Your clothing is very English, and not French. Adding up all those pieces of information, I deduce that you are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." | O motorista respondeu: "O jornal desta manhã tinha uma história sobre você estar de férias em Marselha. Este é o ponto de táxi onde as pessoas que voltam de Marselha sempre vão. Sua cor de pele me diz que você esteve de férias. A mancha de tinta em seu dedo indicador direito sugere que você é um escritor. Suas roupas são muito inglesas, e não francesas. Somando todas essas informações, deduzo que você é Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." |
| Doyle said: | Doyle disse: |
| "This is truly amazing. You are a real life counter part to my fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes." | "Isso é realmente incrível. Você é uma contraparte na vida real da minha criação ficcional, Sherlock Holmes." |
| "There is one other thing," the driver said. | "Há uma outra coisa", disse o motorista. |
| "What is that?" | "O que?" |
| "Your name is on the front of your suitcase." | "Seu nome está na frente da sua mala." |
