" All's quiet now," the doctor said." I'll see to the wounded."

"现在都安静下来了，"医生说，"我去看看伤员。"

旁白 neutral

" Jim and I will make something to eat," the squire volunteered

"吉姆和我会弄点吃的，"乡绅自告奋勇地说。

旁白 neutral

We cooked outside in the hot sun, trying not to listen to the loud groans from the doctor's patients

我们在外面烈日下做饭，尽量不去听医生的病人们发出的响亮呻吟。

旁白 neutral

Of the eight men who had fallen in the action, only three still breathed: Hunter, Captain Smollett, and one of the pirates shot by the doctor

在这次交火中倒下的八个人里，只有三个还有呼吸：亨特、斯莫利特船长，还有一个被医生打伤的海盗。

旁白 neutral

The pirate died within hours. Hunter never regained consciousness and died the following day. The captain was luckier

那个海盗几小时内就死了。亨特再也没有恢复意识，第二天也死了。船长要幸运一些。

" Job Anderson's bullet broke your shoulder blade and nicked your lung, but not badly," the doctor told him

"乔布·安德森的子弹打断了你的肩胛骨，擦伤了你的肺，但伤得不重，"医生告诉他。

旁白 neutral

" The second bullet tore some calf muscles, but you'll recover

"第二颗子弹撕裂了一些小腿肌肉，但你会康复的。

旁白 neutral

For the next few weeks, don't walk or move your arm if you can help it."

接下来的几周，尽量别走路，也别动你的胳膊。"

旁白 neutral

After eating, the squire and the doctor sat and talked beside the captain for a while

吃完饭后，乡绅和医生在船长身边坐着聊了一会儿。

旁白 neutral

A little past noon, Dr. Livesey grabbed his hat and pistols, strapped on a cutlass, and put the map in his pocket

刚过正午，利弗西医生抓起他的帽子和手枪，佩上短剑，把地图放进了口袋。

旁白 neutral

With a musket over his shoulder, he crossed the north side of the fence and set off briskly through the trees

他把火枪扛在肩上，穿过栅栏北面，轻快地走进了树林。

旁白 neutral

Gray took his pipe out of his mouth when he saw the doctor go and said," Is Dr. Livesey mad?"

看到医生离开，格雷从嘴里拿出烟斗，问道：“利夫西医生疯了吗？”

旁白 neutral

" No," I replied." He's the sanest person I know."

“没有，”我回答，“他是我认识的最清醒的人。”

旁白 neutral

" Well," Gray said," if he's not insane, then I am! I just saw him climb over the stockade."

“好吧，”格雷说，“如果他没有疯，那就是我疯了！我刚才亲眼看见他翻过栅栏。”

旁白 neutral

" He's probably going to see Ben Gunn," I said

“他大概是去找本·冈恩了，”我说。

旁白 neutral

" It's too bad Mr. Gunn wants people to ' come alone.'

“真糟糕，冈恩先生要求‘独自前来’。”

旁白 neutral

The doctor is enjoying the cool woods, while we're roasting inside this stockade!

医生在凉爽的林子里享受，我们却在这栅栏里被烤着！

旁白 neutral

I hate the stink of blood and all these dead bodies around!"

我讨厌血腥味和周围这些尸体！

旁白 neutral

" Help me wash out the house," Gray said

“帮我冲洗屋子，”格雷说。

旁白 neutral

We scrubbed the blood off the floor, and I also washed the cookware, but my disgust only grew stronger

我们擦掉地板上的血迹，我还洗了炊具，但我的厌恶只增不减。

旁白 neutral

I wanted to leave, but I knew they wouldn't let me go

我想离开，但知道他们不会放我走。

旁白 neutral

So I decided to wait and slip out when nobody was watching

于是我决定等待时机，趁没人注意时溜走。

旁白 neutral

But I needed a good reason to leave my friends

但我需要给离开同伴找个好理由。

旁白 neutral

" I'll go find Ben Gunn's boat," I told myself

“我要去找本·冈恩的小船，”我对自己说。

旁白 neutral

I filled my pockets with biscuits so I wouldn't be hungry, and I took two pistols, gunpowder, and some bullets

我在口袋里塞满饼干免得挨饿，还带了两把手枪、火药和一些子弹。

旁白 neutral

While the squire and Gray helped the captain with his bandages, I bolted over the fence and into the trees

趁乡绅和格雷在给船长包扎伤口时，我翻过栅栏潜入了树林。

旁白 neutral

Before anyone noticed, I was far away

还没等有人察觉，我已经跑远啦。

旁白 neutral

" I'll head east, so the pirates won't see me from the anchorage, and then I'll go south," I thought as I snuck through the tall woods

“我往东走，这样海盗从锚地就看不见我了，然后我再往南，”我一边想一边在高大的树林中潜行。

旁白 neutral

By late afternoon, I had come to the cool beach and was walking alongside the tumbling surf

到了傍晚时分，我来到清凉的海滩，沿着翻涌的海浪走。

旁白 neutral

When I was far enough south, I took cover in thick bushes and crept warily up a ridge near a bit of sandy land sticking out from the shore

朝南走到足够远时，我躲进了茂密的灌木丛里，悄悄地爬上山脊，那附近有一小片从岸边延伸出来的沙地。

旁白 neutral

I was right between the sea and the anchorage, which was protected from the force of the ocean by Skeleton Island

我正处在海洋和锚地之间，锚地因骷髅岛的保护而免受大海的冲击。

旁白 neutral

The Hispaniola was still and quiet, floating on an unbroken mirror of water, with the Jolly Roger hanging from her mast

伊斯帕尼奥拉号静静停泊，漂浮在如镜的水面上，桅杆上挂着海盗旗。

旁白 neutral

I saw a familiar pirate sitting in a shore boat alongside the ship, talking and laughing with two men leaning over the ship's stern

我看到一个熟悉的海盗坐在靠在船边的小船上，正与两个倚在船尾的人谈笑风生。

旁白 neutral

" Long John Silver!" I whispered to myself

“高个子约翰·西尔弗！”我低声自语。

旁白 neutral

They were much too far away for me to overhear or see them clearly, but all at once, I heard the most horrid, unearthly screaming

他们离得太远，我听不清也看不清，但突然，我听到一阵极其恐怖、非人间的尖叫声。

旁白 neutral

" ARGH! ARGH!"

“啊——！啊——！”

旁白 neutral

" What's that?" I thought, startled. But then I spotted the bright plumage of a bird perching on Long John's wrist

“那是什么？”我吓了一跳，心想。但随后我发现高个子约翰手腕上栖息着一只羽毛鲜艳的鸟。

旁白 neutral

" Oh, it's just the parrot!" I sighed

“哦，原来是鹦鹉！”我叹了口气。

旁白 neutral

Long John shoved off in the boat and rowed for shore

高个子约翰推船离岸，划向岸边。

旁白 neutral

The two other pirates — one was the man with the red cap — stayed on the ship and went below

另外两个海盗——其中一个是戴着红帽子的——留在了船上，下舱去了。

旁白 neutral

The sun set behind Spyglass Hill, fog rose, and the light began to fade

太阳在望远镜山后落下，雾气升起，光线开始变暗。

旁白 neutral

" I must hurry if I'm going to find Ben Gunn's boat," I told myself." It's going to get dark soon."

“要去找本·冈恩的船，我得抓紧了。”我告诉自己，“天马上就要黑了。”

旁白 neutral

The white rock, visible above the trees, was about two hundred yards away, and I crawled on all fours among the bushes

那块在树梢上方可见的白石头，大约在两百码外，我在灌木丛中四肢着地爬行。

旁白 neutral

By the time I touched the rock's rough sides, the area was hard to see clearly, but right below in a ditch, was Ben Gunn's boat

当我摸到岩石粗糙的侧面时，周围已经看不太清了，但在正下方的沟里，就是本·冈恩的小船。

旁白 neutral

It was a very small, crooked structure of tough wood, covered with stretched goat skin

那是一个很小、歪歪扭扭的结构，用坚韧的木头做成，外面覆盖着撑开的山羊皮。

旁白 neutral

" I can't imagine a full-sized man in this," I muttered

“真难想象一个成年男人能坐进这里。”我嘟囔道。

旁白 neutral

There was one low seat, a kind of stretcher in the front, and a double paddle for propulsion

里面有一个低矮的座位，船头有一种撑架，还有一把双叶桨用于推进。

旁白 neutral

I had never seen such a boat; it looked as if it had been made by some ancient seaman, but it was light and portable

我从没见过这样的船；看起来像是古代水手造的，但既轻便又便携。

旁白 neutral

After having found Ben Gunn's boat, I should have returned to the stockade, but suddenly I had a great idea

找到本·冈恩的船后，我本应返回围栏营地，但突然我有了个绝妙的主意。

旁白 neutral

" I'll cut the Hispaniola adrift!" I said to myself

“我要让伊斯帕尼奥拉号漂走！”我自言自语道。

旁白 neutral

The pirates, after the morning's disastrous attack, might pull up the anchor and sail away

经过早晨那场惨败的袭击，海盗们可能会起锚开船离开。

旁白 neutral

" Long John left his men on the ship without a shore boat," I thought

“高个子约翰把他的人留在船上，却没给他们留小艇。”我想。

旁白 neutral

" It'll be easy. The fog is covering everything

“会很容易。大雾笼罩了一切。

旁白 neutral

Tonight will be perfect for my plan!" I ate my biscuit and waited for dark

今晚执行计划再好不过了！”我吃完饼干，等待天黑。

旁白 neutral

As daylight disappeared and absolute blackness settled over Treasure Island, I picked up Ben Gunn's boat

随着日光消失，藏宝岛陷入一片漆黑，我拿起本·冈恩的小船。

旁白 neutral

Only two points were visible on the landscape: one was the great fire

陆地上只能看到两处亮点：一处是大火堆，

旁白 neutral

where the pirates were drinking in the swamp, and the other was a mere blur of light in the dark fog — the anchored ship's cabin window

那是海盗们在沼泽地里喝酒的地方，另一处是黑暗雾气中模糊的光团——停泊着的船的舱窗。

旁白 neutral

The tide was out, and I sank in swampy sand to my ankles before I got to the water's edge

退潮了，还没到水边，我就陷进沼泽般的沙子里，直没到脚踝。

旁白 neutral

Wading in, and with some strength and skill, I set Ben Gunn's boat in the water

我涉水前进，用了一点力气和技巧，把本·冈恩的小船放入水中。
