Tips

culture
Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes) is the consulting detective from Arthur Conan Doyle's stories (1887-1927), with sidekick Dr. Watson (华生 Huáshēng). The character is hugely popular in China — early translations by 林纾 (Lin Shu) in the late Qing era helped popularize Western detective fiction.
usage
Note 福尔摩斯 (Fú'ěrmósī) — the 'F-' for 'H-' is a quirk of the original southern-Chinese (Fujianese) translator who heard the H as F. The reading stuck and is now standard nationwide. Often shortened to just 福尔摩斯.
