The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 14
两名桨手埋头苦干,小船尽可能快速地滑行而去,穿梭于成千上万艘船只之间——这些船只堵塞着狭窄的水道,那条水道在两排船列之间,从港口入口一直延伸到奥尔良码头。
The two oarsmen bent to their work, and the little boat glided away as rapidly as possible in the midst of the thousand vessels which choke up the narrow way which leads between the two rows of ships from the mouth of the harbor to the Quai d'Orléans.
船主面带微笑,目送着他,直到看见他跳上码头,消失在熙熙攘攘的人群之中——每天从清晨五点到夜里九点,人群川流不息地涌动在著名的卡内比埃尔大街上。现代福凯恩人对这条街道引以为傲,他们以一本正经的神态,带着那种给言语增添无穷韵味的口音说道:'如果巴黎有卡内比埃尔,巴黎就会成为第二个马赛。'
The shipowner, smiling, followed him with his eyes until he saw him spring out on the quay and disappear in the midst of the throng, which from five o'clock in the morning until nine o'clock at night, swarms in the famous street of La Canebière,—a street of which the modern Phocéens are so proud that they say with all the gravity in the world, and with that accent which gives so much character to what is said, "If Paris had La Canebière, Paris would be a second Marseilles."
船主转过身,看见当格拉斯站在他身后,表面上像是在等候吩咐,实际上也在注视着那位年轻水手——然而,这两个同样注视着爱德蒙·唐泰斯一举一动的人,其神情表达却有着天壤之别。
On turning round the owner saw Danglars behind him, apparently awaiting orders, but in reality also watching the young sailor,—but there was a great difference in the expression of the two men who thus followed the movements of Edmond Dantès.
