While Mr Wilson was talking, Holmes looked at him carefully. He looked at Mr Wilson’s face, his hands and his clothes. He worked out that Mr Wilson used to be a lobourer, that he visited China in the past and that he did a lot of writing. When Sherlock Holmes told Mr Wilson this information, he was very surprised because everything Sherlock Holmes said was ture! Mr Wilson decided that Holmes must be a wonderful detective. ‫ و إستنتج‬,‫ كما نظر الي يدة ومالبسة‬.‫ نظر هولمز في وجهه بعناية‬،‫بينما كان السيد ويلسون يتحدث‬ ‫ عندما أخبر شرلوك هولمز السيد‬.‫ وأنه كتب كثيرا‬،‫ وأنه زار الصين في الماضي‬، ‫أن السيد ويلسون كان عامال‬ ‫ لذا‬,‫ كان ويلسون مندهشا للغاية ألن كل شيء شيرلوك هولمز قاله كان حقيقيا‬،‫ويلسون هذه المعلومات‬ .‫قال السيد ويلسون ان هولمز البد أن يكون مخبرا رائعا‬

Mr Wilson started telling Holmes his story. He had a small shop in London where he worked with his assistant, Vincent Spaulding. Not many people visited Mr Wilson’s shop and he wasn’t a rich man. One day, Mr Spaulding showed him an advert in the newspaper for a job with The Red-Headed League. ‫ كان لديه متجر صغير في لندن حيث كان يعمل مع مساعدة‬.‫بدأ السيد ويلسون أن يخبر هولمز قصته‬ ‫ يوم ما أظهر السيد‬.‫ وانه لم يكن رجل غني‬,‫لم يزر الكثير من الناس محل السيد ويلسون‬.‫فنسنت سبولدينج‬ .‫سبولدينج لوليسون اإلعالن في الصحف عن وظيفة مع عصبة ذوى الشعر األحمر‬

The Red-Headed League found jobs for men with red hair, Mr Spaulding wanted Mr Wilson to ask about the job because Mr Wilson had red hair and the job was only a few hours a week. The money could really help Mr Wilson and his small shop. ‫ السيد سبولدينج أراد السيد ويلسون أن يسأل‬،‫خصصت جماعة األحمر وظائف للرجال ذوي الشعر األحمر‬ .‫عن تلك الوظيفة ألن السيد ويلسون كان شعره أحمر وكانت وظيفة تُؤدي في بضع ساعات في األسبوع‬ .‫والمال كان من الممكن أن يساعد حقا السيد ويلسون ومتجره الصغير‬

That afternoon, Mr Spaulding took Mr Wilson to the Red-Headed League. There were a lot men waiting outside the office and they all had red hair. But Mr Spaulding pushed past all the men until they were outside the door.

They went inside and met the manager, Mr Duncan Ross, who told them about the job.

It was dark inside the cellar and there were a lot large boxes. ‫ وأثناء السفرأخبر هولمز الدكتور واتسون أن السيد ماري ويذر هو‬.‫ركب الرجال األربعة سياراتين تاكسي‬ ‫ أخذهم‬،‫ عندما وصلوا‬. ‫ وأخذتهم السياراتان الى بنك السيد ماري ويذر‬.‫مدير البنك وراء متجر السيد ويلسون‬ .‫ وكان المكان مظلما داخل قبو وكان هناك الكثير من الصناديق الكبيرة‬.‫ماري ويذر داخل البنك ونزوال إلى القبو‬
