0:11 Early one frosty January morning, the captain walked to the beach with his cutlass — the sword he always kept by his side — swinging under his old blue coat 一月初一个寒冷的清晨，船长走向海滩，他那把从不离身的弯刀在他破旧的蓝色外套下晃来晃去。
0:22 He carried his brass telescope under his arm, and he had his hat tilted back on his head 他腋下夹着黄铜望远镜，帽子向后仰着戴在头上。
0:28 The old man's breath hung in the air like smoke 老人呼出的气像烟一样悬浮在空中。
0:33 Mother was helping my sick father upstairs 母亲正在楼上照顾生病的父亲，
0:35 and I was setting the table for the captain's breakfast when the door opened and a pale, greasy-looking creature walked in 我正在为船长摆放早餐桌，这时门开了，一个长相油腻、面色苍白的家伙走了进来。
0:44 He was missing two fingers from his left hand and he wore a cutlass too, but he didn't look like a seafaring man 他左手缺了两根手指，也佩着一把弯刀，但他看起来不像个航海的人。
0:51 " May I help you, sir?" I asked “先生，有什么需要吗？”我问道。
0:54 " I'll have some rum," he said “给我来点朗姆酒，”他说。
0:58 " Are you setting that table for my mate Bill?" “你摆这桌子，是给我的老伙计比尔吗？”
1:02 " It's for the captain," I said “这是给船长的，”我说。
1:06 " Well," he said," I expect Bill might like to be called ' captain.' “嗯，”他说，“我想比尔可能喜欢被称作‘船长’。”
1:13 Does your captain have a scar on one cheek and a pleasant personality when he's drunk? 你们船长是不是一边脸颊上有道疤，喝醉时脾气很好？
1:19 Has he a sea chest that he guards most carefully?" I nodded 他是不是有个保管得特别小心的水手箱？”我点点头。
1:25 " Now, my lad, tell me, is my mate Bill here?" “那么，小伙子，告诉我，我的伙计比尔在这儿吗？”
1:32 " He's out walking," I said." He'll return soon." “他出去散步了，”我说，“很快就回来。”
1:37 " Ah," said he," good." “啊，”他说，“好。”
1:41 The stranger hung around the door like a cat waiting for a mouse 那个陌生人在门边转悠，像只等着老鼠的猫。
1:47 Once, when I stepped outside, a change came over his face and he angrily said," Get back in here!" 有一次我走到外面，他脸色一变，生气地说：“回到这里来！”
1:54 Then he suddenly became very polite, half smiling and half sneering 然后他突然变得很客气，半笑半嘲讽。
2:00 " You're a good boy." He patted my shoulder." I have a son of my own." “你是个好孩子。”他拍拍我的肩膀，“我也有个儿子。”
2:08 Then the stranger looked out the window and said cheerfully," Ah, here comes my friend Bill 然后陌生人望向窗外，高兴地说：“啊，我的朋友比尔来了。”
2:16 Let's move aside, sonny, and we'll give Bill a little surprise — bless his heart." 我们躲到一边去，小伙子，给比尔一个小惊喜——愿上帝保佑他。
2:24 He pushed me back until we were both hidden behind the open door 他把我往后推，直到我们都藏在敞开的门后面。
2:28 I was very alarmed, but the stranger seemed frightened too 我非常惊慌，但那个陌生人似乎也很害怕。
2:32 He swallowed hard and grabbed the handle of his cutlass, loosening the blade in its sheath 他咽了口唾沫，抓住弯刀的刀柄，把刀刃在鞘里松了松。
2:37 Unsuspecting, the captain marched in the door and across the room to the table where his breakfast lay 船长毫无察觉，大步走进门，穿过房间，来到放着早餐的桌旁。
2:44 " Bill," the stranger said in a bold voice as he pushed me away “比尔，”陌生人推开我，大声说道。
2:48 The captain spun around, and he became so pale that his nose was nearly blue 船长猛地转过身，脸色煞白，鼻子几乎发青。
2:54 I felt sorry to see him suddenly turn so old and sick 看到他突然变得如此苍老和病态，我感到很难过。
2:59 " Black Dog!" gasped the captain, looking as if he'd seen a ghost “黑狗！”船长倒吸一口气，仿佛见到了鬼一样。
3:05 " And who else?" the stranger said “还能有谁？”陌生人说道。
3:08 " I'm here to see you, Billy, my old shipmate. It's been a while since I lost these two fingers." “我就是来找你的，比利，我的老伙计。自从我少了这两根手指，可有日子没见了。”
3:17 He held up his mutilated hand 他举起那只残缺不全的手。
3:20 " Well, you found me," the captain said, recovering." Here I am. What do you want?" “好吧，”船长镇定下来说道，“你找到我了。我就在这儿。你想干什么？”
3:28 " Let's just sit down over there and talk like old shipmates, Billy Bones," Black Dog said “咱们就像老船友一样，去那边坐下聊聊吧，比利·彭斯。”黑狗说。
3:36 Then Black Dog looked at me." Leave us 然后黑狗看向我。“你走开。
3:40 And I don't want to see you listening to our conversation, sonny." 小子，别让我看到你在偷听我们谈话。”
3:46 I left them at the table, but I did my best to pick up a word or two from where I waited at the bar 我让他们俩待在桌边，但我在吧台等着的时候，还是尽力想偷听个一言半语。
3:53 I heard mostly curses from the captain 我听到的大部分是船长的咒骂声。
3:55 " No, no, no!" he cried." If I'm going to hang, then everyone will!" “不，不，不！”他喊道，“要是我得上绞架，那谁都别想跑！”
4:03 They shouted and swore and began to fight, knocking over a chair and table 他们叫骂着扭打起来，撞翻了椅子和桌子。
4:08 I ran over to watch as their cutlasses clashed 我跑过去，看他们的弯刀互相碰撞。
4:11 Then Black Dog let out a cry of pain 然后黑狗发出一声痛苦的叫喊。
4:15 He turned and started to run with the captain right behind him 他转身就跑，船长紧追其后。
4:19 Blood was streaming from Black Dog's left shoulder as he sprinted through the door 黑狗冲出门时，鲜血从他左肩汩汩流下。
4:24 The captain took aim with his cutlass and threw it at Black Dog 船长用他的弯刀瞄准，朝黑狗掷了过去，
4:28 and he might have split Black Dog's head in half if not for our big sign saying " Admiral Benbow." 要不是我家那块写着“本鲍将军”的大招牌，黑狗的脑袋可能就劈成两半了。
4:35 The frame still has a nick where the sword hit it 门框上至今还留着那把刀砍出的豁口。
4:39 Despite his wound, Black Dog ran off and disappeared over the hill 尽管受了伤，黑狗还是跑掉了，消失在山丘的那一边。
4:43 The captain rubbed his eyes and went inside 船长揉了揉眼睛，走进了屋里。
4:47 " Jim," he said, clutching the wall," I need some rum." “吉姆，”他扶着墙说，“我得来点朗姆酒。”
4:52 " Are you hurt?" I cried “您受伤了吗？”我叫道。
4:54 " Rum," he repeated." Rum! Rum!" “朗姆酒，”他重复道。“朗姆酒！朗姆酒！”
4:59 Shaking, I ran to get it, but my hands were so unsteady I broke the glass and had to fill another 我颤抖着跑去拿酒，可手抖得太厉害了，把杯子都打碎了，只好又倒了一杯。
5:05 Suddenly, I heard a loud crash and ran toward the sound 突然，我听到一声巨响，便循声跑了过去。
5:09 The captain was lying on the floor 船长正躺在地上。
5:12 Alarmed by all the noise, Mother came downstairs 母亲被这些声响惊动了，下楼来了。
5:16 " He's drunk! What a disgrace!" she cried." And with your poor father sick!" “他喝醉了！真不像话！”她喊道，“你可怜的父亲还病着呢！”
5:25 My mother and I raised the captain's head 我和母亲把船长的头扶了起来。
5:27 His eyes were closed and he was breathing loud and hard 他双眼紧闭，呼吸声又响又沉重。
5:32 I had the rum, but his teeth and jaws were shut tight 我手里拿着朗姆酒，可他的牙关却咬得紧紧的。
5:36 We were relieved when the door opened, and we saw Dr. Livesey, here to visit Father 门开了，我们松了口气，原来是利夫西医生来给我父亲看病。
5:41 " Oh, Doctor!" Mother cried “哦，医生！”母亲喊道。
5:45 " He looks as if he's had a stroke," said the doctor “他看起来像是中风了，”医生说。
5:49 " Now, Mrs. Hawkins, run upstairs to your husband “现在，霍金斯太太，快上楼去照看你的丈夫。
5:52 I'll do my best to help this worthless fellow." 我会尽力救治这个没用的家伙。”
5:57 The doctor had just loosened the captain's collar when the old man awoke 医生刚松开船长的衣领，老头就醒了。
6:02 The captain recognized the doctor and frowned, and then he saw me 船长认出了医生，皱起了眉头，接着他看到了我。
6:06 " Where's Black Dog?" he asked, trying to raise himself up “黑狗在哪儿？”他问道，一边挣扎着想坐起来。
6:12 " There's no black dog here," said the doctor “这儿没什么黑狗，”医生说。
6:15 " You drank too much and had a stroke." “你酒喝太多了，中风了。”
6:18 " Where is he?" the captain gasped “他在哪儿？”船长喘着粗气问。
6:21 " Listen to me," the doctor said “听我说，”医生说。
6:24 " One drink won't kill you, but keep drinking one after another and you'll die — do you understand that? — die." “喝一杯不会要你的命，可你一再喝下去，就会送命的——明白吗？——会送命的。”
6:32 We hoisted the captain upstairs and put him to bed 我们把船长抬上楼，安置在床上。
6:35 " Heed my words," said the doctor." Rum will kill you." “留心听我的话，”医生说，“朗姆酒会要了你的命。”
6:41 Out of earshot, the doctor told me," He should rest for a week 走到船长听不见的地方，医生对我说：“他得休息一个星期。
6:45 Another stroke could end his sorry life." 再中风一次，就会送掉他这条可怜的命。”
