The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 4

English → Chinese VOLUME ONE Level 7/10

If not, why, there would be no promotion; and since you assure me that the cargo——"

如果不是这样，那就不会有晋升的机会；既然您向我保证货物——"

"Is all safe and sound, M. Morrel, take my word for it; and I advise you not to take 25,000 francs for the profits of the voyage."

「货物一切完好无损，莫雷尔先生，请相信我的话；我建议您不要以两万五千法郎出售这次航行的利润。」

Then, as they were just passing the Round Tower, the young man shouted: "Stand by there to lower the topsails and jib; brail up the spanker!"

就在他们经过圆塔的时候，那年轻人大声喊道：「准备降下顶帆和艏帆；收起后帆！」

The order was executed as promptly as it would have been on board a man-of-war.

命令的执行之迅速，丝毫不亚于一艘军舰上的操作。

"Let go—and clue up!" At this last command all the sails were lowered, and the vessel moved almost imperceptibly onwards.

「放开——收帆！」随着这最后一道命令，所有的帆都降了下来，船几乎在不知不觉中继续向前移动。

"Now, if you will come on board, M. Morrel," said Dantès, observing the owner's impatience, "here is your supercargo, M. Danglars, coming out of his cabin, who will furnish you with every particular. As for me, I must look after the anchoring, and dress the ship in mourning."

「现在，如果您愿意上船的话，莫雷尔先生，」唐泰斯见船主显得不耐烦，便说道，「您的货物监管员唐格拉尔先生正从他的船舱里出来，他会向您提供一切详情。至于我，我必须去负责下锚，并为船挂上丧旗。」

The owner did not wait for a second invitation. He seized a rope which Dantès flung to him, and with an activity that would have done credit to a sailor, climbed up the side of the ship, while the young man, going to his task, left the conversation to Danglars, who now came towards the owner.

船主没有等待第二次邀请。他抓住唐泰斯抛给他的一根绳子，以一种足以令水手称道的敏捷动作攀上了船舷，而那年轻人则去忙自己的事，将谈话交给了此时正向船主走来的唐格拉尔。
