"And that was Policar Morrel, my uncle, who was afterwards a captain.

"Và đó là Policar Morrel, chú tôi, người sau này trở thành thuyền trưởng.

Dantès, you must tell my uncle that the emperor remembered him, and you will see it will bring tears into the old soldier's eyes.

Dantès, anh phải nói với chú tôi rằng hoàng đế vẫn còn nhớ đến ông, và anh sẽ thấy điều đó sẽ khiến người lính già rơi nước mắt.

Come, come," continued he, patting Edmond's shoulder kindly, "you did very right, Dantès, to follow Captain Leclere's instructions, and touch at Elba, although if it were known that you had conveyed a packet to the marshal, and had conversed with the emperor, it might bring you into trouble."

Thôi nào, thôi nào," ông tiếp tục, vỗ nhẹ lên vai Edmond một cách thân thiện, "anh đã làm rất đúng, Dantès, khi làm theo chỉ thị của Thuyền trưởng Leclere và ghé vào Elba, mặc dù nếu người ta biết rằng anh đã chuyển một gói thư đến vị thống chế, và đã nói chuyện với hoàng đế, điều đó có thể mang lại rắc rối cho anh."

"How could that bring me into trouble, sir?" asked Dantès; "for I did not even know of what I was the bearer; and the emperor merely made such inquiries as he would of the first comer.

"Điều đó có thể gây rắc rối cho tôi như thế nào, thưa ông?" Dantès hỏi; "vì tôi thậm chí không biết mình đang mang thứ gì; và hoàng đế chỉ hỏi han như ông ấy sẽ hỏi bất kỳ ai đến đầu tiên.

But, pardon me, here are the health officers and the customs inspectors coming alongside."

Nhưng, xin lỗi ông, đây là các nhân viên y tế và thanh tra hải quan đang đến gần."

And the young man went to the gangway.

Và người thanh niên đi đến cầu thang lên xuống tàu.

As he departed, Danglars approached, and said,—

Khi anh ta rời đi, Danglars tiến đến và nói,—

"Well, it appears that he has given you satisfactory reasons for his landing at Porto-Ferrajo?"

"Vậy, có vẻ như anh ta đã đưa ra cho ông những lý do thỏa đáng về việc ghé vào Porto-Ferrajo?"

"Yes, most satisfactory, my dear Danglars."

"Vâng, rất thỏa đáng, Danglars thân mến của tôi."

"Well, so much the better," said the supercargo; "for it is not pleasant to think that a comrade has not done his duty."

"Vậy thì tốt quá," viên quản hàng nói; "vì thật không dễ chịu khi nghĩ rằng một đồng đội đã không làm tròn bổn phận của mình."

"Dantès has done his," replied the owner, "and that is not saying much.

"Dantès đã làm tròn bổn phận của mình," chủ tàu đáp lại, "và điều đó chẳng có gì đáng nói.

It was Captain Leclere who gave orders for this delay."

Chính Thuyền trưởng Leclere là người đã ra lệnh cho sự chậm trễ này."

"Talking of Captain Leclere, has not Dantès given you a letter from him?"

"Nhân nói đến Thuyền trưởng Leclere, Dantès có đưa cho ông một bức thư từ ông ấy không?"

"To me?—no—was there one?

"Cho tôi ư? — không — có thư à?
