IX. Прочитайте текст письменно переведите его на русский язык: London Sherlock Holmes Life

In the 1880s a young doctor sat waiting for new patients who never came. To pass the time, he wrote stories about a man who was very good at solving crimes. These stories were so popular that the doctor decided to give up medicine and become a writer instead. The doctor was Arthur Conan Doyle and his creation - the detective, Sherlock Holmes.

Conan Doyle's first story about Holmes, "A Study in Scarlet" appeared m 1887. It's the story in which the detective meets his equally famous friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in east London. The hospital still exists today and there is a special plaque there to celebrate the occasion.

Holmes and Watson shared rooms at 221B Baker Street in London. Many serious discussions have taken place about where 221B was. Anyway, no house exists there now. Instead, a large finance company has its office nearby and has taken responsibility for the twenty or so letters, which still arrive each week addressed to Mr. Sherlock Holmes, 221B Baker Street. Most come from the United States and many correspondents ask if Mr. Holmes can help them with some problem, such as finding a missing relative. Replies are sent on special paper saying that: "... unfortunately Mr. Sherlock Holmes now retired to Sussex and is keeping bees. He is no longer working as a detective". If he were alive today, he would be about 129 years old.

There is the Sherlock Holmes Pub near Trafalgar Square. Here an upstairs room has been made into a likeness of 221B Baker Street, as it's described in the stories.

The room is filled with every thing which Holmes and Watson would have had - Holmes's violin on a shelf, his distinctive hat and pipe, the Persian slipper in which he kept his tobacco, unanswered letters pinned to the wall with a knife, as well as the fireplace, chairs and tables.
