Harrigan — Page 3
他漫步走到码头，看着最后几根缆绳被解开。
He strolled out to the pier and watched the last ropes cast loose.
这艘船不大，即使在黑暗中看起来也显得破旧不堪。
The ship was not large, and even in the dark it seemed dingy and dilapidated.
他猜想，不论大小，这条船都会把船员带到世界某个遥远的角落，因此那是一个令人向往的地方。
He guessed that, big or small, this boat would carry her crew to some distant quarter of the world, and therefore to a place to be desired.
甲板上传来一个洪亮的命令声——那是一个坚硬的声音，带着一种铁击铁般的铿锵之声。
A strong voice gave an order from the deck--a hard voice with a ring in it like the striking of iron against iron.
哈里根猛地抬头一看，认出了那个人，借着一盏摇晃的灯笼的光，他看见了麦提。
Harrigan glanced up with a start of recognition, and by the light of a swinging lantern he saw McTee.
如果他在指挥这艘船，那这艘船必定是驶向一个遥远的港口。
If he were in command, this ship was certainly going to a far port.
码头和船之间已经出现了一片黑色的水面。
Black water showed between the dock and the ship.
再过一会儿船就会远得够不着了，这个念头让哈里根下定了决心。
In a moment more it would be beyond reach, and that thought decided Harrigan.
他向后退了几步，注意到舷梯正被拉入的船舷缺口，然后全速奔跑，高高地跃入空中。
He made a few paces back, noted the aperture in the rail of the ship where the gangplank was being drawn in, then ran at full speed and leaped high in the air.
栏杆旁的三名水手惊呼出声，只见哈里根踩上舷梯边缘，踉跄了一下，随即向前扑倒，跪在了甲板上。
The three sailors at the rail shouted their astonishment as Harrigan struck the edge of the gangplank, reeled, and then pitched forward to his knees.
他站起身来，像一只从高墙上跳落地面的猫一样抖了抖身子。
He rose and shook himself like a cat that has dropped from a high fence to the ground.
「你是什么人？」
"What're you?"
「我是多出来的那个帮手。」
"I'm the extra hand."
于是哈里根跑上台阶，登上了驾驶桥。
And Harrigan ran up the steps to the bridge.
在那里，他看见了麦提以及大副和二副。
There he found McTee with the first and second mates.
