The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 13
No, for I think he never liked me since the day when I was silly enough, after a little quarrel we had, to propose to him to stop for ten minutes at the island of Monte Cristo to settle the dispute—a proposition which I was wrong to suggest, and he quite right to refuse.
不，我想自从那天起他就从未喜欢过我，那天我愚蠢地在我们发生了一点争吵之后，提议他在基督山岛停留十分钟来解决争端——那个提议我提得不对，而他拒绝得很对。
If you mean as responsible agent when you ask me the question, I believe there is nothing to say against him, and that you will be content with the way in which he has performed his duty.
如果您问我的是他作为负责任的代理人的表现，我认为没有什么可以指责他的，您会对他履行职责的方式感到满意的。
"But tell me, Dantès, if you had command of the _Pharaon_ should you be glad to see Danglars remain?"
「但告诉我，唐泰斯，如果您指挥法老号，您会乐意见到唐格拉斯留下吗？」
"Captain or mate, M. Morrel, I shall always have the greatest respect for those who possess the owners' confidence."
「无论是船长还是大副，莫雷尔先生，我将永远对拥有船东信任的人怀有最大的敬意。」
"That's right, that's right, Dantès! I see you are a thoroughly good fellow, and will detain you no longer. Go, for I see how impatient you are."
「很好，很好，唐泰斯！我看得出您是个十足的好小伙子，不再留您了。去吧，我看得出您有多迫不及待。」
"Then I have leave?"
「那么我可以离开了？」
"Go, I tell you."
「去吧，我告诉你。」
"May I have the use of your skiff?"
「我可以借用您的小艇吗？」
"Certainly."
「当然可以。」
"Then, for the present, M. Morrel, farewell, and a thousand thanks!"
「那么，暂时告别了，莫雷尔先生，万分感谢！」
"I hope soon to see you again, my dear Edmond. Good luck to you."
「我希望很快再见到您，我亲爱的埃德蒙。祝您好运。」
The young sailor jumped into the skiff, and sat down in the stern sheets, with the order that he be put ashore at La Canebière.
年轻的水手跳进小艇，坐在船尾，吩咐把他送上岸，在卡纳比耶尔街登陆。
