Treasure Island — Page 10
医生纹丝未动。他像之前一样侧着身子对他说话，语调不变，声音略高，让屋子里的人都能听见，但却非常镇定从容：「如果你不立刻把那把刀收回口袋，我以我的名誉发誓，你将在下次巡回法庭上被处以绞刑。」
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."
随后两人之间爆发了一场眼神的对峙，但船长很快就认输了，收起了武器，重新坐回椅子上，像一条被打败的狗一样嘟嘟囔囔。
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.
「那么，先生，」医生继续说道，「既然我现在知道我的辖区里有这么一个人，你尽可以算准了，我会日夜盯着你。我不只是个医生，我还是个地方治安官。如果我听到任何对你的投诉，哪怕只是像今晚这样的无礼之举，我都会采取有效手段，将你追查出来，从这里驱逐出去。这话就说到这里。」
"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. 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. Let that suffice."
不久之后，利弗西医生的马被牵到门口，他便骑马离去了。但船长那天晚上一直保持沉默，此后连续好几个晚上也是如此。
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.
就在这之后不久，发生了第一件神秘事件，这一系列神秘事件最终让我们摆脱了那位船长——虽然，正如你将看到的，并未让我们摆脱与他相关的麻烦。
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.
