The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 7
唐格拉尔后退了一两步。"我想问一下，您为什么在厄尔巴岛停靠？"
Danglars retreated a step or two. "I wished to inquire why you stopped at the Island of Elba?"
"我不知道，先生；那是为了执行勒克莱尔船长临终前的嘱托，他在弥留之际交给我一个包裹，让我转交给贝特朗元帅。"
"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."
"那么你见到他了吗，爱德蒙？"
"Then did you see him, Edmond?"
"谁？"
"Who?"
"元帅。"
"The marshal."
"见到了。"
"Yes."
莫雷尔环顾四周，然后把唐泰斯拉到一旁，突然问道——
Morrel looked around him, and then, drawing Dantès on one side, he said suddenly—
"那么皇帝陛下身体可好？"
"And how is the emperor?"
"很好，就我见到他时的样子来判断。"
"Very well, as far as I could judge from the sight of him."
"那么你见到皇帝了？"
"You saw the emperor, then?"
"他在我拜访元帅时走进了元帅的房间。"
"He entered the marshal's apartment while I was there."
"那你跟他说话了？"
"And you spoke to him?"
"哎，是他先跟我说话的，先生，"唐泰斯微笑着说。
"Why, it was he who spoke to me, sir," said Dantès, with a smile.
"他对你说了什么？"
"And what did he say to you?"
"问了我一些关于船的问题，船离开马赛的时间，走的航线，以及船上的货物。我想，如果船上没有载货，而且我是船长的话，他大概会把船买下来。但我告诉他我只是大副，船属于莫雷尔父子商行。'啊，是的，'他说，'我知道这家商行。莫雷尔家族几代都是船主；而且曾有一位莫雷尔先生，在我驻守瓦朗斯时与我同在一个团服役。'"
"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.'"
"真的！这是实情！"船主兴高采烈地叫道。
"Pardieu! and that is true!" cried the owner, greatly delighted.
