Treasure Island — Page 10
The doctor never so much as moved.
医生一动也没动。
He spoke to him as before, over his shoulder and in the same tone of voice, rather high, so that all the room might hear, but perfectly calm and steady: "If you do not put that knife this instant in your pocket, I promise, upon my honour, you shall hang at the next assizes."
他像之前一样,转过肩头对他说话,用同样的语调,声音相当高亢,让整个房间的人都能听见,但却十分平静而稳定:"如果你不立刻把那把刀收进口袋,我以我的名誉保证,你将在下次巡回法庭上被处以绞刑。"
Then followed a battle of looks between them, but the captain soon knuckled under, put up his weapon, and resumed his seat, grumbling like a beaten dog.
随后两人之间展开了一场眼神的交锋,但船长很快就屈服了,收起了武器,回到座位上,像一条被打败的狗一样嘟囔着。
"And now, sir," continued the doctor, "since I now know there's such a fellow in my district, you may count I'll have an eye upon you day and night.
"那么现在,先生,"医生继续说道,"既然我现在知道我的辖区里有这样一个人,你可以确信我会日夜监视你。
I'm not a doctor only; I'm a magistrate; and if I catch a breath of complaint against you, if it's only for a piece of incivility like tonight's, I'll take effectual means to have you hunted down and routed out of this.
我不仅仅是一名医生,我还是一名地方法官;如果我听到任何人对你的投诉,哪怕只是像今晚这样的无礼行为,我都会采取有效手段将你缉拿归案,将你驱逐出境。
Let that suffice."
就说这些吧。"
Soon after, Dr. Livesey's horse came to the door and he rode away, but the captain held his peace that evening, and for many evenings to come.
不久之后,利夫西医生的马被牵到门口,他便骑马离去了,但船长那天晚上保持了沉默,此后的许多个夜晚也是如此。

Black Dog Appears and Disappears
黑狗出现又消失
It was not very long after this that there occurred the first of the mysterious events that rid us at last of the captain, though not, as you will see, of his affairs.
就在这之后不久,发生了第一件神秘事件,这件事最终使我们摆脱了船长,但正如你将看到的,却并未使我们摆脱与他相关的事务。
