The Reichenbach Falls (Reichenbachfall) are a series of waterfalls on the River Aar near Meiringen in Bern canton in central Switzerland. They have a total drop of 250 m (820 ft). At 90 m (295.2 ft), the Upper Reichenbach Falls is one of the highest cataracts in the Alps.
It is the location where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's hero, Sherlock Holmes, apparently dies at the end of "The Adventure of the Final Problem" locked in mortal combat with his arch nemesis, Professor Moriarty. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichenbach_Falls)
《福尔摩斯探案集》的作者柯南道尔有一天终于厌倦了 写福尔摩斯, 于是设计让福尔摩斯死去。在瑞士的 莱辛巴赫瀑布, 福尔摩斯遭遇犯罪头子莫里亚蒂作最后的决斗。等华生赶来, 发现只有俩人一起坠入瀑布下的深渊的痕迹。这个 莱辛巴赫瀑布 以后成为福尔摩斯迷朝圣的地方, 每年还有福尔摩斯节。 因为最后迫于读者压力, 柯南道尔不得不妥协, 让福尔摩斯死而复生了。 (http://taohuawu.net/2007/03/04/bbc-four-reichenbach-falls/) |
