Treasure Island — Page 9
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,只有利夫西医生是第一次听到它,我注意到它并没有给他留下什么好印象,因为他抬起头来,神情颇为恼怒,然后才继续和老园丁泰勒谈论治疗风湿病的新方法。
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.
与此同时,船长渐渐因自己的歌声而情绪高涨,最终用一种我们都心知肚明意味着"安静"的方式,把手重重地拍在面前的桌子上。
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.
众人的说话声立刻停了下来,只有利夫西医生例外;他一如既往,说话清晰而和气,每说一两个字便从容地抽一口烟斗。
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.
船长盯着他看了一会儿,又拍了拍手,瞪得更厉害了,最终破口说出一句卑劣而低沉的咒骂:"下面甲板那里,给我安静!"
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!"
"你是在跟我说话吗,先生?"医生问道;那粗汉又骂了一句,承认正是如此,医生便答道:"我只有一句话要对你说,先生,那就是——你若继续这样喝朗姆酒,这世上很快就会少了一个肮脏的无赖!"
"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!"
那老家伙勃然大怒,怒气骇人。他腾地跳起身来,掏出一把水手折叠刀并将其打开,把刀平放在掌心上保持平衡,威胁要把医生钉在墙上。
The old fellow's fury was awful. 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.
