【并不算庆生】1.06 福尔摩斯（非官方）生日快乐

这位侦探从来没过过生日，但是拦不住福迷们考据的决心。
《福尔摩斯探案全集》里提到有年月日的日子并不算多，和福尔摩斯本人相关的更是少之又少，唯有那么一次，在《恐怖谷》里，福尔摩斯收买了莫里亚蒂教授手下的一个伙计，这位伙计送来的密码情报里，提到一本书，可能隐藏着重大信息。福尔摩斯证明密码里提到的书是年鉴。两人翻开手头的年鉴一看，错得离谱。福尔摩斯再转念一想，大叫道：华生，我们太赶时髦了，今天才1月7号我们就买了新年鉴，情报里提到的年鉴，应该是去年那本。果不其然，福尔摩斯又对了。
　　“福迷”们对这个福尔摩斯亲口道出的日子细加推理，联想到他那天早上吃不下饭，多半前一天（也就是1月6日）有个PARTY，十有八九是他的生日宴会。而且全书中，福尔摩斯引用《第十二夜》中的诗句比引用莎士比亚其他任何一部剧作都多，从圣诞次日算起，第十二夜恰恰正是1月6日。故而他们一口咬定，福尔摩斯的生日是1月6日。
　　这两个理由都未免牵强，但世界上诸多福迷，为何没人跳出来提出异义？原因还是在古老的星座学里。1月6日是摩羯座，任何一本星座性格的书都会告诉你，福尔摩斯根本不可能属于别的星座。
这段文字出处不可考，侦探的生日不可考。不过谁也拦不住我痴汉的心理。
改了一下以前的作文权当庆祝，求不打脸。

老福生日快乐！也祝神夏开拍顺利XD

People of London considered Sherlock Holmes as thegreatest detective of all, guardian of the city, distinguished symbol ofEngland. They had many writers to continue his adventure, many experts to discoverhis back ground, which turned out that Conan Dyle the author did make bugs,many artists to shut and perform his stories. And many fans who loved him somuch like I did.
The Sherlockian methods he had created calledthe science of deduction. The detective skills require an observation based inference.From what he observed he deducted, and at last came the time "Whenyou have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, mustbe the truth".
His methods along with his massive intellectwere no doubt something to speak of, but they are not my point today. I honored him not only as a great detective, but also a great man with tons of little foibles.He enjoyed Turkish bath. He had pipes of many types but stored his tobaccoleaves in a Persian slipper. Also during a period of boredom, He decoratedthe wall with VR (Victoria Regina)from his pistol. May be that’s the reason why Watson describes Holmes as"bohemian" in his living style.
His mind became his sharpest sword but alsohis weakness. He need brain storms as daily supply. He needs funny recreationslike multi-murders, cold cases, two-ended puzzle. When London failed to provideyet Watson failed to keep an eye on him, he turned to cocaine, 7% strong. Drugsimulated his senses. In his time injecting cocaine was considered to a bad habitnot a crime, but still it’s sorrowful to found him drown.
Besides he was never easy to get alonewith. An eccentric and arrogant maniac as he was, he compared DI Lestrade ofNew Scotland Yard to “a tenacious Pekingese”. Not to mentioned the tease andshowing off after him solving crimes. Still he sometimes was easily to flatteras long as his skills are recognized. In the Speckled Band he even made a vowto those who applaud, like girls accept praises for her beauty. He avoidedcasual company and few friends he had. Yet he cherished his friendship with Dr.John Watson more than anything else. His clam and reason crumbled when Watsongot shoot, well, almost got shot (TheAdventure of the Three Garridebs). He himself was a walking puzzle underdiscovering.
Every time I think of him, I think of ahawk nose man with cherry wood pipe laid on a lounge, Eyes of smoky grey blinkingat his Boswell by the fire place. Then his put down his pipe and said: “Elementary,my dear Watson.”
Yet he had never said that word out loud.
