在聆聽音檔以前，助教先給大家一些內容的小提示：
【Pre-Question】書房裡除了有椅子，還有什麼物品可以讓遊客扮演福爾摩斯和華生？
※答案以粗體字表示※
Well once you actually enter into the museum you are walking into Sherlock Holmes's world. It's a Victorian style house, it's three stories high, two rooms on each floor, as you walk up the narrow staircase you walk straight into the study, which is probably the most famous room from the stories; where Sherlock and Watson would have spent most of their time. And where they would have had their clients come to visit. You have the- the very ambient fireplace and the two-with the most two famous chairs , erm, in the study where people can sit down and actually pose as Sherlock and Watson. We provide them with hats and a pipe and things so they can play at being the characters they love so much.
一旦實際踏進這間博物館，就走進了福爾摩斯的世界。維多利亞式的房子，有三層樓高。每一層樓有兩間房間，從狹窄的樓梯走上樓，就直接進到這間書房，這間書房大概是故事裡最有名的房間吧，福爾摩斯跟華生幾乎都待在這裡吧。他們也是在這間書房會見委託人。這裡有很有氣氛的壁爐跟最有名的兩張椅子，遊客可以坐在椅子上，假裝自己是福爾摩斯和華生。我們還準備了帽子跟煙斗等物品，讓遊客能變身成自己鍾愛的角色。
