M: This is Mr. Blake. Piles.
J: Mr. Blake. Hi.

这段对话出自BBC版神探夏洛克第三季第一集，华生在知晓夏洛克没死的事实后，怪罪夏洛克不告之真相，两人不愿回归到往日的工作模式。于是二人在自己的工作模式下发生了如上“对话”，虽然没有华丽的辞藻，但其亮点在于三处“//”， 两人的对话巧妙的衔接，甚至是两个词的直接截断然后拼接，造成了一词双意，且巧妙的切合当时二人的语境。F+Cough——F**K off， Monkey glands出自原著《爬行人》的主角Professor Presbury(普莱斯伯利教授)使用的类人猿血清, 一种强壮血清类似于激素，在这里既是夏洛克描述的自己判过的案件，又表示了华生给病人开的药。最后Piss pot既可以表示尿壶，又可指小人。

大家还是结合原剧去理解下吧……
