The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 3
然后他转向船员们,说道:「快点动手,收帆!」
Then turning to the crew, he said, "Bear a hand there, to take in sail!"
全体船员服从命令,那八九名水手立刻各就各位,分别奔向后帆收帆索和外拉索、顶帆收帆索和升帆索、前三角帆下拉索,以及顶帆收角索和束帆索。
All hands obeyed, and at once the eight or ten seamen who composed the crew, sprang to their respective stations at the spanker brails and outhaul, topsail sheets and halyards, the jib downhaul, and the topsail clewlines and buntlines.
这位年轻的水手查看了一眼,确认命令得到了迅速而准确的执行,然后再次转向船主。
The young sailor gave a look to see that his orders were promptly and accurately obeyed, and then turned again to the owner.
「那么,这场不幸是怎么发生的呢?」船主问道,继续着刚才被打断的话题。
"And how did this misfortune occur?" inquired the latter, resuming the interrupted conversation.
「唉,先生,发生得实在是出人意料。与港务长长谈之后,勒克莱尔船长心情沉重地离开了那不勒斯。

We performed the usual burial service, and he is at his rest, sewn up in his hammock with a thirty-six-pound shot at his head and his heels, off El Giglio island.
我们带回了他的佩剑和荣誉十字勋章,交给他的遗孀。
We bring to his widow his sword and cross of honor.
「真是值得啊,」年轻人带着忧郁的微笑补充道,「与英国人打了十年的仗,到头来却像普通人一样死在床上。」
It was worth while, truly," added the young man with a melancholy smile, "to make war against the English for ten years, and to die in his bed at last, like everybody else."
「唉,你瞧,爱德蒙,」船主回答道,他此刻似乎越来越释怀了,「我们都是凡人,老人总要给年轻人让路的。」
"Why, you see, Edmond," replied the owner, who appeared more comforted at every moment, "we are all mortal, and the old must make way for the young.
