It was long ere i could close an eye , and heaven knows i had matter enough for thought in the man whom i had slain that afternoon , in my own most perilous position , and , above all , in the remarkable game that i saw silver now engage upon - keeping the mutineers together with one hand , an grasping , with the other , after every means , possible an impossible , to make his peace and save his miserable life 我一直不能合眼。老天在上,我确实有太多的事情要考虑考虑。我在想下午我自己在危及性命的紧要关头杀死的那个人,我在寻思西尔弗目前玩弄的极其狡诈的手段:他一方面把那些叛逆者控制在手里,另一方面又不遗余力地抓住任何机会保住自己的狗命,为保平安,也不管是否行得通。
I had quite made up my mind that the mutineers , after their repulse of the morning , had nothing nearer their hearts than to up anchor and away to sea ; this , i thought , it would be a fine thing to prevent , and now that i had seen how they left their watchmen unprovided with a boat , i thought it might be done with little risk 我敢认定,反叛者们早晨遭到这样的痛击,定想及早出海。我想这样做要是可以阻止他们逃跑,该有多好哇。看到海盗们连一只小船也没留给守卫在大船上的人,我想这件事做起来没多大危险。
Out of the eight men who had fallen in the action , only three still breathed - that one of the pirates who had been shot at the loophole , hunter , and captain smollett ; and of these the first two were as good as dead ; the mutineer , indeed , died under the doctor s knife , and hunter , do what we could , never recovered consciousness in this world 枪战中倒下的八个人中仅有三人还有微弱的呼吸一名在枪眼旁中弹的海盗亨特和斯莫列特船长。其中前两位已没有生存的可能了。那个海盗最终死于医生的刀下。
Alexander smollett , master ; david livesey , ship s doctor ; abraham gray , carpenter s mate ; john trelawney , owner ; john hunter and richard joyce , owner s servant , landsmen - being all that is left faithful of the ship s company - with stores for ten days at short rations , came ashore this day , and flew british colours on the log - house in treasure island . thomas redruth , owner s servant landsman , shot by the mutineers ; james hawkins , cabin - boy - “亚历山大斯莫列特,船长大卫利弗西,随船医生亚伯拉罕葛雷,木匠助手约翰特里罗尼,船主约翰亨特和理查乔埃斯,船主的仆人,未出过海的新手以上是船上剩下的全体忠实的船员今天带着短缺的仅够维持十天的口粮上岸,并使英国国旗在宝岛的木屋上空飘扬了起来。
