Treasure Island — Page 2
当酒端来时，他慢慢地喝着，像个行家一样细细品味，眼睛仍四处打量着那些悬崖，又抬头望向我们的招牌。
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.
他过了一会儿说道："这是个方便的小湾，还有一家地方不错的小酒馆。来的人多吗，伙计？"
"This is a handy cove," says he at length; "and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?"
我父亲告诉他，不多，客人很少，这真是可惜。
My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity.
他说："那好，这地方正合我意。喂，你！"他对推独轮车的人喊道，"把车推过来，帮我把箱子搬上去。我要在这里住一段时间，"他接着说，"我是个直爽的人，我要的就是朗姆酒、熏肉和鸡蛋，还要那边高处能望见过往船只的地方。你们要怎么称呼我？就叫我船长吧。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，"等我把这些花完了你们再告诉我，"他说，神情威严得像个指挥官。
"Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me. Here you, matey," he cried to the man who trundled the barrow; "bring up alongside and help up my chest. I'll stay here a bit," he continued. "I'm a plain man; rum and bacon and eggs is what I want, and that head up there for to watch ships off. What you mought call me? You mought call me captain. Oh, I see what you're at--there"; and he threw down three or four gold pieces on the threshold. "You can tell me when I've worked through that," says he, looking as fierce as a commander.
尽管他衣着褴褛，说话粗鲁，但他丝毫没有普通水手的样子，倒像是一个习惯于发号施令、说一不二的大副或船长。
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.
