Treasure Island — Page 9
But by this time we had all long ceased to pay any particular notice to the song; it was new, that night, to nobody but Dr. Livesey, and on him I observed it did not produce an agreeable effect, for he looked up for a moment quite angrily before he went on with his talk to old Taylor, the gardener, on a new cure for the rheumatics.
但到这时候,我们大家早就不再特别留意那首歌了;那天晚上,除了利夫西医生之外,那首歌对谁来说都不是新鲜事,而我注意到它对他并没有产生令人愉快的效果,因为他抬起头来,神情颇为愤怒地看了一会儿,然后才继续和老园丁泰勒聊起一种治疗风湿病的新方法。
In the meantime, the captain gradually brightened up at his own music, and at last flapped his hand upon the table before him in a way we all knew to mean silence.
与此同时,船长渐渐被自己的歌声振奋起来,最后用手使劲拍了拍面前的桌子,那是我们都知道的要求安静的方式。
The voices stopped at once, all but Dr. Livesey's; he went on as before speaking clear and kind and drawing briskly at his pipe between every word or two.
所有人的声音立刻停了下来,只有利夫西医生例外;他依旧像从前一样,说话清晰而和蔼,每说一两个字便有力地抽一口烟斗。
The captain glared at him for a while, flapped his hand again, glared still harder, and at last broke out with a villainous, low oath, "Silence, there, between decks!"
船长盯着他看了一会儿,又拍了拍手,眼神愈发凶狠,最后恶狠狠地低声咒骂道:"都给我闭嘴,甲板下面的人!"
"Were you addressing me, sir?" says the doctor; and when the ruffian had told him, with another oath, that this was so, "I have only one thing to say to you, sir," replies the doctor, "that if you keep on drinking rum, the world will soon be quit of a very dirty scoundrel!"
医生说:"您是在跟我说话吗,先生?"那恶棍又骂了一句,告诉他正是如此,医生回答道:"我只有一句话要对您说,先生,那就是如果您继续喝朗姆酒,这个世界很快就会少了一个极其肮脏的无赖!"
The old fellow's fury was awful.
那老家伙勃然大怒,气势骇人。
He sprang to his feet, drew and opened a sailor's clasp-knife, and balancing it open on the palm of his hand, threatened to pin the doctor to the wall.
他猛地跳起身来,掏出一把水手折叠刀并将其打开,把刀平摊在手掌上保持平衡,威胁要把医生钉在墙上。
