" cried Dantès, his eyes sparkling with animation;

」とダンテスは叫んだ。その目は生き生きと輝いていた。

"pray mind what you say, for you are touching on the most secret wishes of my heart.

「どうか言葉に気をつけてください。あなたは私の心の最も秘めたる願いに触れているのですから。

Is it really your intention to make me captain of the _Pharaon_?"

本当に私をファラオン号の船長にするつもりなのですか？」

"If I were sole owner we'd shake hands on it now, my dear Dantès, and call it settled;

「もし私が単独の船主であれば、今すぐ握手して話を決めるところだ、親愛なるダンテス君。

but I have a partner, and you know the Italian proverb—_Chi ha compagno ha padrone_—'He who has a partner has a master.'

しかし私には共同経営者がいる。イタリアのことわざを知っているだろう――「キ・ア・コンパーニョ・ア・パドローネ」――「仲間を持つ者は主人を持つ」というやつだ。

But the thing is at least half done, as you have one out of two votes.

しかし二票のうち一票はすでに得ているのだから、事は少なくとも半分は決まったも同然だ。

Rely on me to procure you the other; I will do my best."

もう一票は私に任せなさい。最善を尽くすよ。」

"Ah, M. Morrel," exclaimed the young seaman, with tears in his eyes, and grasping the owner's hand, "M. Morrel, I thank you in the name of my father and of Mercédès."

「ああ、モレル様」と若い船乗りは目に涙を浮かべ、船主の手を握りながら叫んだ。「モレル様、父とメルセデスの名においてお礼を申し上げます。」

"That's all right, Edmond.

「それはよかった、エドモン。

There's a providence that watches over the deserving.

功徳ある者を見守る摂理というものがある。

Go to your father; go and see Mercédès, and afterwards come to me."

お父上のところへ行きなさい。メルセデスに会いに行って、その後で私のところへ来なさい。」

"Shall I row you ashore?"

「岸まで漕いでお送りしましょうか？」

"No, thank you; I shall remain and look over the accounts with Danglars.

「いや、結構だ。私はここに残ってダングラールと帳簿を調べることにする。

Have you been satisfied with him this voyage?"

今回の航海で彼には満足しているかね？」

"That is according to the sense you attach to the question, sir.

「それはご質問の意味によりますね、旦那様。

Do you mean is he a good comrade?

彼が良い仲間かどうかということでしょうか？
