A voice calling from the woods woke everyone, including George Merry, who was supposed to be standing guard

从树林里传来的喊声惊醒了所有人，包括本应站岗的乔治·梅里。

旁白 neutral

" Ahoy, there!"

“喂，那边！”

旁白 neutral

I ran to a musket hole and looked out; it was the doctor

我跑到一个枪眼处往外看；是医生。

旁白 neutral

" Good morning to you!" Long John called out good-naturedly

“早上好！”高个约翰和善地喊道。

旁白 neutral

" You're here bright and early. Your patients are doing well, sir

“您来得真早啊。先生，您的病人们情况不错。

旁白 neutral

And we have a surprise for you — a little stranger, fit as any young lad should be."

我们还有个惊喜给您——一个陌生的小家伙，健健康康的，小伙子就该这样。”

旁白 neutral

Dr. Livesey climbed over the fence and approached the house." Jim?"

利夫西医生翻过栅栏，走近屋子。“吉姆？”

旁白 neutral

" The very same," Long John said

“正是他，”高个约翰说。

旁白 neutral

The doctor stopped for a moment and then said," Well, business before pleasure. Let's see the patients."

医生停顿了一下，然后说：“好吧，先办正事再享乐。我们看看病人吧。”

旁白 neutral

Dr. Livesey entered, gave me a nod, and proceeded to treat the sick pirates as if he was on an ordinary visit to a quiet English family

利夫西医生走进来，对我点了点头，然后开始给生病的海盗们治疗，就像去一个安静的英国家庭做平常的出诊一样。

旁白 neutral

" You're doing well," he said to the fellow with the bandaged head

“你恢复得不错，”他对那个头上缠着绷带的人说。

旁白 neutral

" Your head must be as hard as iron."

“你的脑袋一定像铁一样硬。”

旁白 neutral

Then he looked into George Merry's eyes

然后他看了看乔治·梅里的眼睛。

旁白 neutral

" They look normal now, but you must stop drinking. Did you take your medicine?"

“现在看起来正常了，但你必须戒酒。你吃药了吗？”

旁白 neutral

" Aye, aye, sir, he took it," Tom Morgan interrupted eagerly

“是，是，先生，他吃了，”汤姆·摩根急切地插嘴说。

旁白 neutral

" Good. Since I'm the pirate doctor now," Dr. Livesey said pleasantly," I don't want anyone to die before King George can hang him."

“很好。既然我现在是海盗的医生了，”利夫西大夫愉快地说，“我不希望任何人在乔治国王绞死他之前死掉。”

旁白 neutral

The pirates looked at each other but reacted to the comment with silence

海盗们面面相觑，但对这句话报以沉默。

旁白 neutral

" Dick doesn't feel well, sir," one said

“迪克感觉不舒服，先生，”一个人说。

旁白 neutral

" No?" the doctor said." Stick out your tongue, Dick."

“是吗？”大夫说。“把舌头伸出来，迪克。”

旁白 neutral

The doctor inspected his tongue." This would frighten the devil. You've got the fever."

大夫检查了他的舌头。“这能把魔鬼都吓一跳。你发烧了。”

旁白 neutral

" That comes from cutting up Bibles," Tom Morgan remarked

“那是因为撕过《圣经》。”汤姆·摩根说。

旁白 neutral

" Or being a fool," the doctor retorted

“或者是因为犯傻。”大夫回敬道。

旁白 neutral

" People should only camp in a swamp if they want malaria."

“只有想得疟疾的人，才该在沼泽地里扎营。”

旁白 neutral

The doctor passed out pills and potions, and the men took them like schoolchildren

大夫分发药片和药水，那些人像小学生一样乖乖服下。

旁白 neutral

" And now I'd like to talk with that boy, please." Dr. Livesey nodded carelessly in my direction

“现在，我想跟那个孩子谈谈，麻烦了。”利夫西大夫漫不经心地朝我这边点点头。

旁白 neutral

George Merry, still making a face at the bad-tasting medicine, swung around and yelled " No!"

乔治·梅里还因为药太难吃而苦着脸，猛地转过身大喊：“不行！”

旁白 neutral

" Silence!" Long John roared. Then he turned to me

“安静！”高个约翰吼道。然后他转向我。

旁白 neutral

" Hawkins, will you give your word of honor as a young gentleman — for that is what you are — that you won't escape?"

“霍金斯，你愿意以一名年轻绅士——你本来就是——的名誉担保，你不会逃跑吗？”

旁白 neutral

" I promise," I said

“我保证。”我说。

旁白 neutral

" Step outside the stockade, Doctor," commanded Long John

“请到栅栏外面去，大夫。”高个约翰命令道。

旁白 neutral

" I'll bring the boy to you on the inside. You can chat through the fence."

“我把那孩子带到里面这边来。你们可以隔着栅栏谈。”

旁白 neutral

When the doctor left the house, the pirates exploded in anger and suspicion

医生一离开屋子，海盗们炸开了锅，又气又疑。

旁白 neutral

" You're trying to double-cross us!" shouted George Merry

“你打算出卖我们！” 乔治·梅里喊道。

旁白 neutral

" You're making a deal with them to save yourself," Tom Morgan yelled," and forgetting about your mates."

“你正在和他们做交易，好自己脱身，”汤姆·摩根喊道，“却忘了你的伙伴们。”

旁白 neutral

" Fools!" snapped Long John." Jim and the doctor want to talk, that's all."

“一群傻瓜！” 高个约翰厉声说。“吉姆跟医生想谈谈，仅此而已。”

旁白 neutral

He waved the map." Will you break the treaty the very day you go treasure-hunting? No, by thunder!" he cried

他挥了挥地图。“寻宝当天你们就要破坏约定吗？不行，我发誓！”他喊道。

旁白 neutral

" We'll break it when we decide. Until then, I'll make that doctor happy, even if I have to clean his boots with my best brandy

“该什么时候毁约，我们说了算。在那之前，我会让那医生满意，哪怕要用我最好的白兰地去擦他的靴子。”

旁白 neutral

Now get that fire going," he ordered, and we both walked out

现在把火生起来，”他命令道，然后我俩走了出去。

旁白 neutral

" Walk slow, lad," he said quietly." They'll jump us if we hurry."

“走慢点，小伙子，”他轻声说。“我们要是走得急，他们会扑上来算账的。”

旁白 neutral

We advanced to where the doctor waited on the other side of the stockade, and as soon as we were within easy speaking distance, Long John stopped

我们走向医生在栅栏外等候的地方，刚到方便交谈的距离，高个约翰就停住了脚步。

旁白 neutral

" Make a note of what I'm risking here, Doctor," said he

“医生，请您记下我在这儿冒了多大的风险，”他说。

旁白 neutral

" The boy will attest that I saved his life

“这孩子可以证明我救了他的命。

旁白 neutral

A good word from you could save me from the hangman

您帮我说句好话，就能让我免上绞刑架。

旁白 neutral

But believe me, it's not only my life I'm concerned with here — it's the boy's too."

但请您相信我，我在这里担心的不仅是我自己的命——还有这孩子的命。”

旁白 neutral

Long John's voice trembled, and with his back to his friends in the house, he looked like a different man

高个约翰的声音颤抖着，背对着屋子里他的同伙时，他看起来简直判若两人。

旁白 neutral

" Why, Silver, are you afraid?" asked Dr. Livesey

“怎么，西尔弗，你害怕了吗？”利夫西大夫问道。

旁白 neutral

" I'm no coward, no! But I don't want to hang

“我可不是懦夫，不是！但我不想被绞死。

旁白 neutral

You won't forget the good I've done, will you?

您不会忘记我做过的好事，对吧？

旁白 neutral

I'll leave you and Jim alone now."

我现在就让您和吉姆单独谈谈。”

旁白 neutral

Long John stepped back and sat on a tree stump, where he could keep an eye on me and the doctor, as well as on his unruly friends

高个约翰退后几步，坐在一个树桩上，这样他既能盯着我和医生，也能看着他那群无法无天的同伙。

旁白 neutral

" I don't blame you, Jim," the doctor said," but when Captain Smollett was well, you didn't dare run off

“我不怪你，吉姆，”医生说，“但是斯莫利特船长身体好的时候，你不敢逃跑。

旁白 neutral

Then when he was ill, you did. That was cowardly!"

可等他病了，你却跑了。真够懦弱的！”

旁白 neutral

" Please, Doctor, I'm sorry," I said, weeping

“求你了，医生，我很抱歉，”我哭着说。

旁白 neutral

" But I'd be dead if Long John hadn't stood up for me

“可要不是高个约翰护着我，我早就死了。

旁白 neutral

I don't mind dying — maybe I deserve it — but I do fear torture, and — "

我不怕死——也许是我活该——但我确实害怕折磨，而且——”

旁白 neutral

" Jim," the doctor interrupted," jump over the fence, and we'll run for it."

“吉姆，”医生打断我，“跳过栅栏，我们一起跑。”

旁白 neutral

" No," I said." I gave my word."

“不，”我说，“我保证过的。”

旁白 neutral

" Blame me. It'll be my shame, but I can't let you stay," he said

“都怪我。这是我的耻辱，但我不能让你留下，”他说。

旁白 neutral

" Jump! One jump, and we'll run like antelopes."

“跳！一下跳过来，我们就像羚羊一样跑掉。”

旁白 neutral

" No," I replied." I promised I'd go back

“不，”我回答，“我保证过会回去的。

旁白 neutral

But, Doctor, let me finish. I got the ship back — she's in North Inlet

但是，医生，让我把话说完。我把船夺回来了——船就在北汊湾。

旁白 neutral

If they torture me, I'm afraid I might tell where the ship is."

要是他们折磨我，我怕自己会说出船在哪儿。”

旁白 neutral

" The ship!" the doctor exclaimed

“那艘船！”医生惊呼。

旁白 neutral

Quickly, I described my adventures, and he heard me out

我飞快地讲述了我的经历，他耐心听完了。

旁白 neutral

" Jim, you've saved our lives," said Dr. Livesey

“吉姆，你救了我们的命，”利夫西医生说。

旁白 neutral

" We're not going to let you lose yours!" He looked up

“我们绝不会让你丢了你的命！”他抬起头。

旁白 neutral

" Silver!" he called, and Silver drew near." Don't hurry to get that treasure."

“西尔弗！”他喊道，西尔弗走近前来。“别急着去找那宝藏。”

旁白 neutral

" My life and the boy's depend on finding it," said Long John

“我和这孩子的命，都指望着找到它呢，”高个约翰说。

旁白 neutral

" It will go badly for you if you get near that treasure," warned the doctor

“要是你接近那批宝藏，你会倒大霉的，”医生警告说。

旁白 neutral

" What?" Long John said." I've done everything you told me to do, and yet you've never given me a word of hope!

“什么？”高个约翰说。“你吩咐我做的，我全照办了，可你却从没给过我一句有盼头的话！

旁白 neutral

Tell me what you're planning, so I can prepare myself."

告诉我你计划做什么，好让我有个心理准备。”

旁白 neutral

" No," answered the doctor." I can't say any more, but I'll give you hope

“不，”医生回答。“我不能多说了，但我会给你希望。

旁白 neutral

If we both get out of this alive, I'll do my best to save you from the hangman."

如果我们俩都能活着离开，我会尽力保你，不让刽子手绞死你。”

旁白 neutral

Long John Silver's face was radiant." Thank you, sir!"

高个约翰·西尔弗的脸一下子容光焕发。“谢谢您，先生！”

旁白 neutral

" Keep that boy beside you and shout when you need help. Now, I'm off. Good-bye, Jim."

“让那孩子待在你身边，需要帮助就喊。好了，我走了。再见，吉姆。”

旁白 neutral

Dr. Livesey shook my hand through the fence, nodded to Long John, and set off into the woods

利夫西医生隔着栅栏握了握我的手，向高个约翰点了点头，便动身走进了树林。
