The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 7

English → Chinese VOLUME ONE Level 7/10

「

Danglars retreated a step or two. "I wished to inquire why you stopped at the Island of Elba?"

唐格拉斯退后了一两步。「我想询问您为何在厄尔巴岛停留？」

"I do not know, sir; it was to fulfil the last instructions of Captain Leclere, who, when dying, gave me a packet for Marshal Bertrand."

「我不知道，先生；那是为了执行勒克莱尔船长的最后指示，他临终时交给我一个包裹，让我转交给贝尔特朗元帅。」

"Then did you see him, Edmond?"

「那么你见到他了吗，爱德蒙？」

"Who?"

「谁？」

"The marshal."

「元帅。」

"Yes."

「见到了。」

Morrel looked around him, and then, drawing Dantès on one side, he said suddenly—

莫雷尔环顾四周，然后将唐泰斯拉到一旁，突然说道——

"And how is the emperor?"

「皇帝他还好吗？」

"Very well, as far as I could judge from the sight of him."

「看样子很好，就我所见而言。」

"You saw the emperor, then?"

「那么你见到皇帝了？」

"He entered the marshal's apartment while I was there."

「我在那里的时候，他走进了元帅的房间。」

"And you spoke to him?"

「你和他说话了？」

"Why, it was he who spoke to me, sir," said Dantès, with a smile.

「哎，是他先和我说话的，先生，」唐泰斯微笑着说。

"And what did he say to you?"

「他对你说了什么？」

"Asked me questions about the vessel, the time she left Marseilles, the course she had taken, and what was her cargo. I believe, if she had not been laden, and I had been her master, he would have bought her. But I told him I was only mate, and that she belonged to the firm of Morrel & Son. 'Ah, yes,' he said, 'I know them. The Morrels have been shipowners from father to son; and there was a Morrel who served in the same regiment with me when I was in garrison at Valence.'"

「他问了我关于船只的问题，问她何时离开马赛，走的是什么航线，装的是什么货。我想，如果船上没有货，而我又是船主的话，他大概会把她买下来。但我告诉他我只是大副，船是莫雷尔父子公司的。'啊，是的，'他说，'我认识他们。莫雷尔家世代都是船主；而且有一个莫雷尔，当年我在瓦朗斯驻扎时，曾与我同在一个团里服役。'」

"_Pardieu!_ and that is true!" cried the owner, greatly delighted.

「天哪！确有此事！」船主大喜过望，叫道。
