Won from the Waves — Page 14

Chinese → English CHAPTER ONE. Level 6/10

望向登陆处,只见海盐萨尔那高挑的身影站在码头边缘,俯视着他们。

Looking towards the landing-place, the tall figure of Sal of the Salt Sea was seen standing on the edge of the pier gazing down upon them.

「愚蠢的人啊!你们白费了力气,然而对你们来说幸好是够不着那艘注定沉没的船。我警告过你们,你们却无视我的话。」

"Foolish men! you have had your toil for nought, yet it is well for you that you could not reach the doomed ship. I warned you, and you disregarded me.

「我命令风浪阻止你们前进;它们听从了我的命令,服从了我。你们下次不敢再无视我的警告了。」

I commanded the winds and waves to stop your progress; they listened to my orders and obeyed me. You will not another time venture to disregard my warnings.

「现在回你们各自的家去,感谢我没有惩罚你们的愚行。我再次警告你们,那艘船注定要沉!注定要沉!注定要沉!」

Now go to your homes, and be thankful that I did not think fit to punish you for your folly. Again I warn you that yonder ship is doomed! is doomed! is doomed!"

就在这老妇用与之前一样刺耳洪亮的声调说着这些话的时候,亚当和他的船员们正摸索着往登陆处走去。

While the old woman was uttering these words in the same harsh, loud tones as before, Adam and his crew were making their way to the landing-place.

然而,在他们到达之前,那个神秘的人影已消失在黑暗中,尽管仍能听见她的声音,似乎是朝着悬崖方向走去。

Before they reached it, however, the strange being had disappeared in the darkness, though her voice could be heard as she took her way apparently towards the cliffs.

「伙计们,我再说一次,别让那可怜疯婆子说的话困扰你们,」亚当喊道。「来我的小屋,我们吃点晚饭,等有机会再出发。」

"Again, lads, I say, don't let what you have heard from the poor mad woman trouble you," exclaimed Adam. "Come to my cottage, and we will have a bite of supper, and wait till we have the chance of getting off again."

哈利伯特夫人早已料到他们会回来,备好了晚饭。她住所里铺了沙子的地板和粗糙的椅子、凳子,并不会因他们湿透的衣物而受损。

Dame Halliburt, expecting them, had prepared supper. The sanded floors and rough chairs and stools which formed the furniture of her abode were not to be injured by their dripping garments.
