English → Chinese PART ONE--The Old Buccaneer Level 6/10

This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard.

当酒端来时，他慢慢地品饮，像个行家一样，细细回味，眼睛仍旧打量着四周的悬崖，又望了望我们的招牌。

"This is a handy cove," says he at length; "and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?"

他终于开口说道："这是个方便的海湾，酒馆的位置也不错。客人多吗，伙计？"

My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity.

我父亲告诉他，客人很少，实在可惜。

"Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me.

"那好，"他说，"这正是我要待的地方。

Here you, matey," he cried to the man who trundled the barrow; "bring up alongside and help up my chest.

喂，你，伙计，"他向推独轮车的人喊道，"把车推过来，帮我把箱子搬上去。

I'll stay here a bit," he continued.

我要在这里住一阵子，"他接着说。

"I'm a plain man; rum and bacon and eggs is what I want, and that head up there for to watch ships off.

"我是个简单的人，我只要朗姆酒、熏肉和鸡蛋，再加上那个山头，好用来瞭望过往的船只。

What you mought call me? You mought call me captain.

你们叫我什么好呢？就叫我船长吧。

Oh, I see what you're at--there"; and he threw down three or four gold pieces on the threshold.

哦，我明白你们的意思——拿去，"说着他往门槛上扔下三四枚金币。

"You can tell me when I've worked through that," says he, looking as fierce as a commander.

"等我花完了你再告诉我，"他说，神情威猛，活像个指挥官。

And indeed bad as his clothes were and coarsely as he spoke, he had none of the appearance of a man who sailed before the mast, but seemed like a mate or skipper accustomed to be obeyed or to strike.

尽管他衣着褴褛，说话粗鄙，却丝毫没有普通水手的样子，倒像是个惯于发号施令、动辄打人的大副或船长。
