When Dr. Mortimer had finished reading this singular narrative he pushed his spectacles up on his forehead and stared across at Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

摩梯末医生读完了这篇怪异的记载之后就把眼镜推上了前额，直望着歇洛克·福尔摩斯。

It follows the nationalist narrative: Japan, a victim of the European colonial powers, sought only to protect the rest of Asia from them.

它使用的是民族主义的论调。那就是，日本作为一个饱受欧洲殖民统治强国欺凌的牺牲品，只是为了保护其他的亚洲人民不受它们的欺凌。

And now I come rapidly to the conclusion of this singular narrative, in which I have tried to make the reader share those dark fears and vague surmises which clouded our lives so long and ended in so tragic a manner.

现在我要很快地结束这段奇特的故事了，在故事里我想使读者也体会一下那些极端的恐怖和模糊的臆测，这些东西长时期地使我们的心上蒙了一层阴影，而结局竟是如此的悲惨。

Here, indeed, is the central point: the need to move away from mythological, mutually exclusive rights of existence, conflicting historical narratives, and religious claims of ownership.

事实上，这正是问题的焦点所在：从凭空想象、互相认为对方没有生存权、相互抵触的历史叙述以及在宗教上均宣称拥有主权的斗争中脱离出来。
