福尔摩斯：基本演绎法 第一季第8集The Long Fuse（20）（在线收听）

Why am I not surprised you'd take credit

真是不出所料啊

for every bombing except

你承认了所有的事情

the one that killed two people?

却偏偏否认跟这次有两人死亡的爆炸有关

Was that you?

是你干的吗

Was what me?

什么是我干的

What did those balls ever do to you?

这些球招你惹你了

They're dying for a good cause, Watson.

它们会死得其所的，华生

Of course they are.

当然

Did you know that when a bomb explodes,

知道吗，当炸弹爆炸时

the component that houses the fuel is often atomized?

覆盖在燃料上的成分通常会原子化

Now, this can make it difficult, if not downright impossible,

因此想要确定炸弹里的化学成分

to identify the device's chemical composition.

即使可能，也是很困难的

The NYPD bomb squad is currently struggling

纽约警方的爆破小组

with this very conundrum, so I thought I would help.

正在努力破解这谜题， 我想帮帮忙

With tennis balls? I'm attempting to replicate

用网球吗， 我在尝试

the odor and burn pattern of the office bombing

用自己调制的混合物

using a few of my own concoctions, and these balls

来重现案发现场的气味和爆炸模式

make the perfect delivery mechanism.

这些球就是最好的载体

When Edgar Knowles was arrested this afternoon,

埃德加·诺尔斯下午被逮捕时

he confessed to setting off

他承认他在不同的公司里

five nitrate-based bombs at various businesses.

安装过五个硝酸盐炸弹

No self-respecting eco-warrior

他自称为生态保护者

would use toxic, man-made chemicals in his bombs.

所以不可能用有毒的化学药品来制造炸弹

He would use natural ingredients.

他应该会用一些自然材料

Smells like fertilizer.

闻起来像化肥

With good reason.

是有原因的

Beyond its horticultural employments,

除了园艺功能

fertilizer can be distilled down

化肥还可以通过蒸馏

and mixed into a rather potent nitrate accelerant.

成为硝酸盐的一种强力催化成分

This ball is filled with the stuff.

这个球里装的就是这种东西
