金银岛
Treasure Island
本鲍上将客栈里的老水手
The Old Sea-dog at the Admiral Benbow
特里劳尼乡绅、利夫西医生以及其他几位先生请我把金银岛的全部经过从头到尾写下来，除了那座岛的方位之外什么都不隐瞒，而隐瞒方位只是因为岛上还有宝藏尚未取出。
Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted,
我提笔于恩典年17——年，回忆到父亲经营本鲍上将客栈、那个脸上有马刀疤的黝黑老水手初次借宿我家屋檐下的那段时光。
I take up my pen in the year of grace 17—, and go back to the time when my father kept the Admiral Benbow inn and the brown old seaman with the sabre cut first took up his lodging under our roof.
我记得他的样子，仿佛就在昨日——他步履沉重地走向客栈门口，身后跟着一辆独轮手推车，上面放着他的海上大箱。
I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn door, his sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrow--
他是个高大、健壮、魁梧、皮肤棕黑的男人，油腻的辫子搭在他那件污迹斑斑的蓝色外套肩上，双手粗糙、满是伤疤，指甲乌黑残缺，脸颊上有一道马刀割下的伤疤，又脏又死白。
a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails, and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white.
我记得他一边环顾那片海湾，一边自顾自地吹着口哨，随后便扯开嗓子唱起那首他后来常常吟唱的古老海歌：
I remember him looking round the cove and whistling to himself as he did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards:
「死人箱上坐着十五条汉——
"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest--
哟嗬嗬，一瓶朗姆酒！」
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
那嗓音苍老颤抖，高亢尖锐，听来像是在绞盘杆上磨砺又磨损过的。
in the high, old tottering voice that seemed to have been tuned and broken at the capstan bars.
随后他用随身携带的那根像铁撬棒一样的短棍敲了敲门，等我父亲出来，便粗声粗气地要了一杯朗姆酒。
Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum.
