你把我的事务处理得这么好，我应该给你足够的时间处理你自己的事情。你需要钱吗？

You have managed my affairs so well that I ought to allow you all the time you require for your own. Do you want any money?

不，先生；我的薪水还没有领——将近三个月的工资了。

No, sir; I have all my pay to take—nearly three months' wages.

你真是个节俭的人，爱德蒙。

You are a careful fellow, Edmond.

说起来，我有一个贫穷的父亲，先生。

Say I have a poor father, sir.

是的，是的，我知道你是个好儿子，所以快去看你父亲吧。我也有一个儿子，如果有人在三个月的航行之后还不让他回到我身边，我会非常愤怒的。

Yes, yes, I know how good a son you are, so now hasten away to see your father. I have a son too, and I should be very wroth with those who detained him from me after a three months' voyage.

那么我可以告假了，先生？

Then I have your leave, sir?

可以，如果你没有别的事情要对我说的话。

Yes, if you have nothing more to say to me.

没有了。

Nothing.

勒克莱尔船长在去世前没有给你一封交给我的信吗？

Captain Leclere did not, before he died, give you a letter for me?

他没办法写信，先生。但这让我想起，我必须请求您准许我休假几天。

He was unable to write, sir. But that reminds me that I must ask your leave of absence for some days.

是为了结婚吗？

To get married?

是的，首先是结婚，然后去巴黎。

Yes, first, and then to go to Paris.

很好；你需要多少时间就拿多少，当泰斯。卸完货大约需要六个星期，之后还要三个月才能让你重新出海；只要在三个月内回来，因为'法老号'，"船主一边说，一边拍着这位年轻水手的背，"没有她的船长是无法出航的。

Very good; have what time you require, Dantès. It will take quite six weeks to unload the cargo, and we cannot get you ready for sea until three months after that; only be back again in three months, for the Pharaon, added the owner, patting the young sailor on the back, cannot sail without her captain.

没有她的船长！

Without her captain!
