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

「那就是波利卡·莫雷尔，我的叔叔，他后来成了一名上尉。

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.

唐泰斯，你一定要告诉我叔叔皇帝还记得他，你会看到这会让那位老兵热泪盈眶的。

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."

来，来，」他亲切地拍着爱德蒙的肩膀继续说道，「你做得很对，唐泰斯，遵照勒克莱尔船长的指示在厄尔巴岛停靠，尽管如果有人知道你曾给元帅带去一个包裹，并与皇帝交谈过，这可能会给你带来麻烦。」

"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.

「这怎么会给我带来麻烦呢，先生？」唐泰斯问道；「因为我甚至不知道自己带的是什么；而皇帝只是像对待任何一个初来乍到的人一样向我询问了一些情况。

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

但是，请原谅我，卫生官员和海关检查员正靠近过来了。」

And the young man went to the gangway.

年轻人便走向了舷梯。

As he departed, Danglars approached, and said,—

当他离开时，唐格拉尔走了过来，说道——

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

「好吧，看来他已经就在费拉约港靠岸一事向您作出了令人满意的解释？」

"Yes, most satisfactory, my dear Danglars."

「是的，非常令人满意，我亲爱的唐格拉尔。」

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

「好，那就更好了，」大副说道；「因为想到一个同伴没有尽到自己的职责，这并不令人愉快。」

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

「唐泰斯已经尽到了自己的职责，」船主回答说，「这并没有什么特别之处。

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

是勒克莱尔船长下令延误的。」

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

「说到勒克莱尔船长，唐泰斯没有交给您一封他的信吗？」

"To me?—no—was there one?

「给我？——没有——有信吗？
