The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 10
「对,唐泰斯,完全正确。我早就知道你是个好儿子。」
"Right, Dantès, quite right. I always knew you were a good son."
「请问,」唐泰斯有些迟疑地问道,「您知道我父亲还好吗?」
"And," inquired Dantès, with some hesitation, "do you know how my father is?"
「很好,我相信,我亲爱的爱德蒙,虽然我最近没见过他。」
"Well, I believe, my dear Edmond, though I have not seen him lately."
「是的,他喜欢把自己关在他的小房间里。」
"Yes, he likes to keep himself shut up in his little room."
「这至少证明,在你不在的时候,他什么都不缺。」
"That proves, at least, that he has wanted for nothing during your absence."
唐泰斯微微一笑。「我父亲是个自尊心很强的人,先生,如果他身无分文,我想他也不会向任何人开口求助,除非是向上天。」
Dantès smiled. "My father is proud, sir, and if he had not a meal left, I doubt if he would have asked anything from anyone, except from Heaven."
「那么,这第一次拜访之后,我们就等着你了。」
"Well, then, after this first visit has been made we shall count on you."
「我必须再次向您道歉,莫雷尔先生,因为在这次拜访之后,我还有另一次拜访,那是我迫切希望去做的。」
"I must again excuse myself, M. Morrel, for after this first visit has been paid I have another which I am most anxious to pay."
「说得对,唐泰斯,我忘了在加泰罗尼亚人村里还有一个人,她等你的心情不亚于你父亲——美丽的梅塞苔丝。」
"True, Dantès, I forgot that there was at the Catalans someone who expects you no less impatiently than your father—the lovely Mercédès."
唐泰斯的脸红了。
Dantès blushed.
「哈哈,」船主说,「我一点也不奇怪,因为她来找过我三次,打听法老号有没有消息。真见鬼!爱德蒙,你有一位非常漂亮的情人!」
"Ah, ha," said the shipowner, "I am not in the least surprised, for she has been to me three times, inquiring if there were any news of the Pharaon. Peste! Edmond, you have a very handsome mistress!"
「她不是我的情人,」年轻的水手严肃地回答,「她是我的未婚妻。」
"She is not my mistress," replied the young sailor, gravely; "she is my betrothed."
「有时候两者是一回事,」莫雷尔微笑着说。
"Sometimes one and the same thing," said Morrel, with a smile.
「对我们来说不是,先生,」唐泰斯回答。
"Not with us, sir," replied Dantès.
「好了,好了,我亲爱的爱德蒙,」船主继续说,「别让我耽误你了。」
"Well, well, my dear Edmond," continued the owner, "don't let me detain you."
