The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 11
You have managed my affairs so well that I ought to allow you all the time you require for your own.
あなたは私の仕事をとてもうまく処理してくれたので、あなた自身のことに必要な時間をすべて与えなければならない。
Do you want any money?"
お金は必要ですか？」
"No, sir; I have all my pay to take—nearly three months' wages."
「いいえ、旦那様。給料をまだ受け取っておりません——ほぼ三ヶ月分です。」
"You are a careful fellow, Edmond."
「あなたは堅実な男ですね、エドモン。」
"Say I have a poor father, sir."
「貧しい父がいると言ってください、旦那様。」
"Yes, yes, I know how good a son you are, so now hasten away to see your father.
「そうですね、あなたがいかに良い息子であるかは知っています。さあ、急いでお父上に会いに行きなさい。
I have a son too, and I should be very wroth with those who detained him from me after a three months' voyage."
私にも息子がおり、三ヶ月の航海の後に息子を引き留める者がいたならば、大いに怒るでしょう。」
"Then I have your leave, sir?"
「では、お許しをいただけますか、旦那様？」
"Yes, if you have nothing more to say to me."
「ええ、もう私に言うことがなければ。」
"Nothing."
「ございません。」
"Captain Leclere did not, before he died, give you a letter for me?"
「ルクレール船長は、亡くなる前に、私宛の手紙をあなたに託しませんでしたか？」
"He was unable to write, sir.
「船長は書くことができませんでした、旦那様。
But that reminds me that I must ask your leave of absence for some days."
しかし、それで思い出しましたが、数日間の休暇をお願いしなければなりません。」
"To get married?"
「結婚するためですか？」
"Yes, first, and then to go to Paris."
「はい、まず結婚して、それからパリへ行くためです。」
"Very good; have what time you require, Dantès.
「よろしい。必要なだけ時間を取りなさい、ダンテス。
It will take quite six weeks to unload the cargo, and we cannot get you ready for sea until three months after that; only be back again in three months, for the _Pharaon_," added the owner, patting the young sailor on the back, "cannot sail without her captain."
荷物を降ろすのに六週間はかかりますし、その後三ヶ月は出航の準備ができません。ただ三ヶ月以内に戻ってきてください、なぜなら『ファラオン号』は」と船主は若い水夫の背中を叩きながら付け加えた、「船長なしでは出航できませんから。」
"Without her captain!
「船長なしで！」
