《金银岛》第十一章 海上历险(2)

（单词翻译）

I guessed he was going to see Ben Gunn，

我猜测他是去和本·葛恩碰头的。

and thought the doctor was lucky to be walking in the cool shadows of the wood．The house was hot and smelt¹ of blood，and there were dead bodies lying all around．

我甚至羡慕他走在树林的阴凉里。木屋里热得很，周围有那么多的血，横着那么多尸体。

Suddenly，I wanted to get away from that place-and I had an idea！

忽然间我想逃离这地方—我有了主意！

I would go and look for Ben Gunn's boat！Perhaps we would need it some time．

我去看看本·葛恩的小船。也许我们什么时候用得着它。

That was my excuse to myself，although I knew it was wrong of me to leave only two unwounded men to guard the stockade²．

这只是我自己的借口而已，我知道只留下两个未受伤的人守卫木屋是错误的。

It was also wrong of me to leave secretly，but that is what I did．

而且我这次擅自行动也是不合适的，但我还是这样做了。

I filled my pockets with bread，then took two pistols³ and the powder for them．

我把两只口袋装满了面包，然后拿了两把手枪，带上足够的弹药。

When Gray and Mr Trelawney were helping⁴ the captain,I climbed quickly out of the stockade and ran into the trees．

乡绅和葛雷正忙于照顾船长的时候，我迅速爬出木屋，跑进了树林。

I made my way towards the east coast．

我一直向东海岸走去。

It was late in the afternoon，but still warm．

已经是下午晚些时候了，还是那么热。

Soon cool air began to reach me，and suddenly there was the sea．

不久凉爽的风阵阵袭来，我突然到了海边。

I walked along the edge，then up to a small sand-covered hill．

我沿着海边走去，走上一个沙子覆盖的小山。
