The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 2

English → Chinese VOLUME ONE Level 7/10

The vague disquietude which prevailed among the spectators had so much affected one of the crowd that he did not await the arrival of the vessel in harbor, but jumping into a small skiff, desired to be pulled alongside the _Pharaon_, which he reached as she rounded into La Réserve basin.

观众中弥漫着一种模糊的不安情绪，其中一人受此影响颇深，竟未等船只入港，便跳上一艘小艇，吩咐人将其划至法老号旁边，当船驶入拉雷泽尔夫港湾时，他已赶了上去。

When the young man on board saw this person approach, he left his station by the pilot, and, hat in hand, leaned over the ship's bulwarks.

船上的年轻人见此人靠近，便离开了领航员身旁的位置，手持帽子，俯身倚在船舷上。

He was a fine, tall, slim young fellow of eighteen or twenty, with black eyes, and hair as dark as a raven's wing; and his whole appearance bespoke that calmness and resolution peculiar to men accustomed from their cradle to contend with danger.

他是一位英俊高挑、身材修长的年轻人，年约十八九岁至二十岁，双目漆黑，发色如乌鸦羽翼般深沉；他整个人的气度流露出一种沉着与坚毅，那是自幼便惯于与危险抗争之人所特有的神情。

"Ah, is it you, Dantès?" cried the man in the skiff. "What's the matter? and why have you such an air of sadness aboard?"

「啊，是你吗，唐泰斯？」小艇上的人喊道。「怎么了？你们船上为何笼罩着如此悲伤的气氛？」

"A great misfortune, M. Morrel," replied the young man, "a great misfortune, for me especially! Off Civita Vecchia we lost our brave Captain Leclere."

「莫雷尔先生，是一场大不幸，」年轻人回答道，「一场大不幸，对我而言尤其如此！我们在奇维塔韦基亚附近失去了我们勇敢的勒克莱尔船长。」

"And the cargo?" inquired the owner, eagerly.

「那货物呢？」船主急切地问道。

"Is all safe, M. Morrel; and I think you will be satisfied on that head. But poor Captain Leclere——"

「货物一切安好，莫雷尔先生；我想您在这方面会感到满意的。但可怜的勒克莱尔船长——」

"What happened to him?" asked the owner, with an air of considerable resignation. "What happened to the worthy captain?"

「他出了什么事？」船主以一副颇为无奈的神情问道。「这位好船长究竟发生了什么事？」

"He died."

「他去世了。」

"Fell into the sea?"

「落入海中了？」

"No, sir, he died of brain-fever in dreadful agony.

「不，先生，他死于脑热病，临终时痛苦万分。」
