The Inexplicable Matchbox　神奇火柴盒

（譯：我超想翻成神奇小火柴的>"<，其實inexplicable是意料之外/莫名奇妙的意思啦～）

The situation with Isaac Persano hit the headlines, obviously. He was found, in a hotel room, surrounded by matchboxes. And he couldn't speak. Sherlock described him as being completely 'out of his mind' but I diagnosed that he was technically suffering from an extreme case of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Issac Persano 上了新聞頭條。他在某個酒店被發現，身邊散落了一地，成千上萬的火柴盒，而他本人不能講話。Sherlock用「喪心病狂」來形容他，不過我的診斷是他有重大創傷後的功能性障礙。

And so, of course, Sherlock then had to prove me wrong.

然後，當然，Sherlock馬上證明我錯了。

Persano had been missing since March last year, following the murder of his trainer, Gabriel Allard. Allard had, himself, been found in a hotel room. He'd been bludgeoned to death. Persano's disappearance had obviously made him the number one suspect but, despite the best efforts of the French police, he'd never been located. And then, last week, there he was.

Persano自三月份他的師傅Gabriel Allard被殺後就失蹤了。Allard也在一間酒店裡被棒擊身亡。而徒弟Persano的失蹤使他成為嫌疑人之一，然而，僅管法國警方盡了最大的努力，仍然沒有找到Persano。直到上週他才現身。

He was found by a chambermaid at the Royal Hotel in Brighton. He was surrounded by over a thousand matchboxes all of which were empty.

他在Brighton（布萊頓，倫敦近郊）皇家旅館被一個女侍者發現，他身邊有成山成海的火柴盒，每個幾乎都是空的。

Except one.

除了其中一個裝了東西。

Sherlock showed me what was in the matchbox. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Sherlock把那火柴盒裡的東西秀給我看，我簡直不敢相信自己的眼睛。

I'm afraid I can't say anything else about the case other than it was probably the maddest adventure we ever had. I mean, Sherlock had to dress up as a clown! Mrs Hudson was pushed out of a helicopter! And me? Well, I had to do something I never thought I'd ever do.

但恐怕我沒法再多說了。這是我們經歷過最瘋狂的一個案子，我是指Sherlock扮小丑這件事！Mrs Hudson還被推出直升機！我呢？我也做了我這輩子沒想過會做的事。

Basically, because of particular people in particular governments who we discovered were involved in this particular case, I can't actually blog about what happened. We're not just talking the Official Secrets Act. We're talking Every Official Secrets Act.

基本上，尤於一位國家特殊機關的特殊人士發現了這個特殊案件事關重大，所以我其實不能在blog上寫得太清楚。我們聊的可不是進某個秘密行動，我們聊的可是全部的機密行動！

But, yeah, we solved it. We discovered who'd killed who and how and why.

不過，yeah，我們解決了。我們找出了誰殺了誰，怎麼殺，又為什麼要殺他。

But, most importantly, Sherlock had to dress up as a clown. And the fact that there are no photos of this is possibly the most frustrating thing in the whole damn world.

最重要的是，Sherlock打扮成小丑。而且竟然沒有留下半張照片，這真是這世上最令人沮喪的事。
