"As to taking command of the vessel," replied Morrel, "that was his duty as captain's mate; as to losing a day and a half off the Island of Elba, he was wrong, unless the vessel needed repairs."

「至于接管船只的指挥权，」莫雷尔回答道，「那是他作为大副的职责；至于在厄尔巴岛附近耽搁了一天半，他做错了，除非船只需要修缮。」

"The vessel was in as good condition as I am, and as, I hope you are, M. Morrel, and this day and a half was lost from pure whim, for the pleasure of going ashore, and nothing else."

「船只的状况和我一样好，我希望也和您一样好，莫雷尔先生，而这一天半完全是出于一时兴起而耽误的，就为了上岸游玩，别无其他。」

"Dantès," said the shipowner, turning towards the young man, "come this way!"

「唐泰斯，」船主转向那个年轻人说道，「过来这边！」

"In a moment, sir," answered Dantès, "and I'm with you." Then calling to the crew, he said, "Let go!"

「马上就来，先生，」唐泰斯回答道，「我这就过来。」随后他向船员们喊道：「放锚！」

The anchor was instantly dropped, and the chain ran rattling through the port-hole.

锚立刻抛下，铁链哗哗作响地穿过锚孔滑落。

Dantès continued at his post in spite of the presence of the pilot, until this manœuvre was completed, and then he added, "Half-mast the colors, and square the yards!"

尽管引航员在场，唐泰斯仍坚守岗位，直到这一操作完成，随后他补充道：「降半旗，横置帆桁！」

"You see," said Danglars, "he fancies himself captain already, upon my word."

「您瞧，」唐格拉尔说，「我的天，他已经自以为是船长了。」

"And so, in fact, he is," said the owner.

「事实上，他确实是，」船主说道。

"Except your signature and your partner's, M. Morrel."

「除了您和您合伙人的签字之外，莫雷尔先生。」

"And why should he not have this?" asked the owner; "he is young, it is true, but he seems to me a thorough seaman, and of full experience."

「他为何不能得到这个呢？」船主问道，「他确实年轻，但在我看来他是一个地道的海员，经验十分丰富。」

A cloud passed over Danglars' brow.

唐格拉尔的眉头掠过一丝阴云。

"Your pardon, M. Morrel," said Dantès, approaching, "the vessel now rides at anchor, and I am at your service. You hailed me, I think?

「请见谅，莫雷尔先生，」唐泰斯走上前来说道，「船只现已抛锚停泊，我听候您的吩咐。您叫我，对吗？」
