The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 3
" Then turning to the crew, he said, "Bear a hand there, to take in sail!"
それから乗組員の方を向いて、「さあ、帆を畳め!」と命じた。
All hands obeyed, and at once the eight or ten seamen who composed the crew, sprang to their respective stations at the spanker brails and outhaul, topsail sheets and halyards, the jib downhaul, and the topsail clewlines and buntlines.
全員が従い、乗組員を構成する八人か十人の船員たちは、スパンカー・ブレイルとアウトホール、トップセール・シートとハリヤード、ジブ・ダウンホール、トップセール・クリューラインとバントラインのそれぞれの持ち場へと一斉に駆けつけた。
The young sailor gave a look to see that his orders were promptly and accurately obeyed, and then turned again to the owner.
若い船乗りは自分の命令が迅速かつ正確に実行されているかどうかを確かめてから、再びオーナーの方を向いた。
"And how did this misfortune occur?" inquired the latter, resuming the interrupted conversation.
「それで、この不幸はどのようにして起きたのですか?」と後者は中断していた会話を再開しながら尋ねた。

二十四時間後に熱病に倒れ、三日後に亡くなりました。
We performed the usual burial service, and he is at his rest, sewn up in his hammock with a thirty-six-pound shot at his head and his heels, off El Giglio island.
通常の水葬の儀式を執り行い、エル・ジリオ島沖にて、ハンモックに縫い込まれ頭と足元に三十六ポンドの砲弾を入れられて、彼は眠りについております。
We bring to his widow his sword and cross of honor.
彼の未亡人のもとへ、彼の剣と名誉十字章をお届けいたします。
It was worth while, truly," added the young man with a melancholy smile, "to make war against the English for ten years, and to die in his bed at last, like everybody else."
まったく、」と若い男は憂鬱そうな微笑みを浮かべながら付け加えた、「十年間イギリス人と戦って、結局は皆と同じように床の上で死ぬとは、それだけの価値があったというものですね。」
"Why, you see, Edmond," replied the owner, who appeared more comforted at every moment, "we are all mortal, and the old must make way for the young.
「いやいや、エドモン、」とオーナーは答えた。彼はいっそう慰められた様子だった。「我々はみな死すべき存在で、老いたる者は若き者に道を譲らねばならないのです。
