Won from the Waves — Page 11
她宽松的斗篷和垂在肩上的灰白长发在风中飘扬,使她的面容显得狂野而怪异,因为她没有任何东西束缚她的头发,只有一团干燥的深色海藻,扭成王冠的形状,缠绕在她的头顶。
Her loose cloak and the long grey hair which hung over her shoulders blew out in the wind, giving her face a wild and weird look, for she wore no covering to restrain her locks, with the exception of a mass of dry dark seaweed, formed in the shape of a crown, twisted round the top of her head.
「我见过你们即将前往的那艘船。昨夜她还骄傲地漂浮在海面上,我就已经知道她的命运将会如何;她注定要毁灭,所有敢于登上她的人也将同样如此。如果你们出去找她,我告诉你们,你们中没有一个人会回来。我警告你,亚当·哈利伯特,我也警告你们所有人!不要出去找她,她注定毁灭!她注定毁灭!她注定毁灭!」
"I have seen the ship you are about to visit. I knew what her fate would be even yesternight when she was floating proudly on the ocean; she was doomed to destruction, and so will be all those who venture on board her. If you go out to her, I tell you that none of you will return. I warn you, Adam Halliburt, and I warn you all! Go not out to her, she is doomed! she is doomed! she is doomed!"
那女人说完这些话,便消失在黑暗之中。众人站在那里,犹豫不决。
As the woman uttered these words she disappeared in the darkness. The men stood irresolute.
「怎么,伙计们,你们难道要被'海盐萨尔'或者你们有些人叫她的'傻萨莉'的话吓倒吗?」亚当大声说道。「让我们信靠上帝,如果这是祂的美意,祂会保佑我们的。我们有责任去尽力帮助我们的同胞。你们认为一个疯老婆子比掌管波涛的主宰知道得更多吗?或者她在疯癫中说的任何话,能阻止祂看顾我们、让我们平安归来吗?」
"What, lads, are you to be frightened at what 'Sal of the Salt Sea' says, or 'Silly Sally,' as some of you call her?" exclaimed Adam. "Let us put our trust in God, He will take care of us, if it's His good pleasure. It's our duty to try and help our fellow-creatures. Do you think an old mad woman knows more than He who rules the waves, or that anything she can say in her folly will prevent Him from watching over us and bringing us back in safety?"
