《金银岛》第四章 水手箱(6)

（单词翻译）

What were they looking for Hawkins?asked Mr Dance.

他们想找什么呢，霍金斯？丹斯先生问道。

They got the money from the chest,I said,

他们从水手箱里拿走了钱，我说，

but I think I have what they wanted most.

但我有他们想要的东西。

I'd like to get it to a safe place. I thought, perhaps, Dr¹ Livesey…

我希望把它放到一个稳妥的地方。我想，也许，李甫西大夫……

Quite right, said Mr Dance.

对，说得对，丹斯先生说。

Hes the local judge, and I ought to report Pews death to him or Squire² Trelawney.

李甫西大夫是本地的治安推事，我应该向他或是乡绅屈利劳尼报告皮尤的事。

I'll take you with me to his house.

我带你一起去。

Dr Livesey was not at his house but with the squire at his home,so Captain Dance and I went on there.

李甫西大夫不在家，据说他和乡绅在一起。于是我和丹斯先生去乡绅家。

I had never seen Squire Trelawney so near.

我从来没这么近打量过乡绅屈利劳尼。

He was a big tall man, with a red face, and was sitting beside a fire with Dr Livesey.

他个子很高，暗红色的脸，和李甫西大夫坐在火炉旁边。

Come in, Mr Dance,he said.

进来，丹斯先生，他说。

Mr Dance gave his report and both men listened with deep interest.

丹斯先生报告了刚才发生的事，那两个人听得津津有味。
