福至如归①
So, Greg came around the other day. He had a load of stuff that had belonged to Sherlock. Just tat really. Nothing that even gets close to showing who or what he was. Stuff can't do that. Not physical stuff anyway. We've all got belongings and photos and furniture and books and... they're not who we are. They're just things we've accumulated over the years. They mean nothing.
前几天格雷来找过我。他有一箱夏洛克的旧物。只是些没用东西,没一件能显示出他是个什么样的人。物品做不到这个。死物不行。我们都有旧物有照片有家具书还有……但它们都不是我们本身。它们只是过去多年里我们所积攒的东西。它们毫无意义。
But then there was this DVD. It was a video of Sherlock recording a message for my birthday dinner. A bunch of us went to this restaurant in Soho. It was great, actually. Everyone was there. Mike, Harry, Greg, Mrs Hudson, the usual suspects. Except Sherlock. He didn't come because he was 'busy'. He wasn't busy, he just... sometimes he struggled to fit in. He couldn't switch off, couldn't relax. He just struggled with people, I think. Yet the video... it showed the other side to him. He was rude,yeah. Arrogant. Apparently lacking in anything resembling empathy. But I'd forgotten just how funny he could be. He was so charming. So... human. It's bizarre because most people would say he was the most inhuman person they'd ever met. But he wasn't. He was everything a good person should be. He'd just often say what he was thinking rather than lying to protect our feelings. Maybe we should all be more like that Maybe we should all be more honest Although maybe it was a good thing he didn't come to that birthday dinner...
但里面还有这张DVD。那是夏洛克为我的生日会录的一段视频。我们一堆人跑到苏活区的这家餐馆里庆生。说真的,相当美妙。所有人都在。迈克、哈莉、格雷、哈德森太太,一般你能想到人都在,除了夏洛克。他没来,理由是“很忙”。他一点都不忙,他只是……有时候他会努力去适应,但他无法关上他的开关,没法放松下来。我想他只是在人群中挣扎。然而这段视频……这里有他的另一面。他很没礼貌,没错,而且骄傲自大,明显缺乏换位思考之类的东西。但我忘了他能有多么风趣。他是如此的有魅力。如此的……像个人。这很奇异,因为大多数人都会说,他是他们所见过最没人性的人了。但其实他不是。从任何方面来说他都是个好人。他只是总会直率地说出心中所想,而不是用谎言顾全我们的感受。也许我们更应该像他那样做,也许我们应该更加坦率,尽管也许那很好,但不管怎么说他还是没出席那天的生日会……
And now it's time for me to be honest. I'm meant to be keeping this blog to remind me of the good times. I know it's meant to be healthy but what's the point I need to properly move on. I need to put it all behind me and move on.
而现在,是时候轮到我坦率面对现实了。我本想保留这个博客,以纪念那些美好时光。我知道这有益健康,但问题是我该体体面面地向前看了。我得放下这一切向前看了。
And I'm so tired of deleting comments from people who don't believe me. Who think all this is a lie. I know it was real. There are so many people out there who know that all this was real. They believed in Sherlock.
而我也删累了,不想再删不相信我或是觉得这都是谎言的人的留言。我知道这都是真的。有那么多人知道这都是真的。他们相信夏洛克。
And I've found someone. So I should concentrate on that.
再说,我找到了另一半。我得把精力集中到那上头去。
So this'll be my last blog.
因此,这应该是我最后的博客了。
Sherlock,you bastard, wherever you are. Cheers.
夏洛克,你是个混蛋,无论你在哪里。振作起来吧。
John.
约翰。

①选用这个翻译,是因为Many Happy Returns其实是去年的7分钟圣诞特辑的标题。“福至如归”貌似是正式的翻译……这篇文的内容也是圣诞特辑相关的。
请注意时间轴问题……博客时间好像能顺下来安在一年里,但鉴于卷卷的回归是在两年后,当时Mary与John只认识了半年……火柴盒那篇博客里也出现了Mary的留言,那篇开始都是卷福回归当年的博客了哟~
但是这依然说不通= =各种说不通。我已经快被时间轴弄得崩溃了 ……
