My name is Jim Hawkins and I'm going to tell you the story of Treasure
Island.It began when I was a boy.My father had an inn by the sea called
the"Admiral Benbow".One day an old seaman arrived with a big sea-
chest .He was tall and strong.
我的名字叫吉姆•霍金斯,我将给你们讲一个金银岛的故事.这要从我还是个小孩时说起.我爸爸在海边有个旅馆叫“本鲍上将”一天,来了一个老海员,拿着一个大大的从海里捞起的箱子.他又高又壮.
'Bring me a glass of rum !'he said to my father.'Are there many people
here?'
My father said no.
'Good!I'll stay here.You can call me captain.Take my chest up to my
room.'
“给我来一杯朗姆酒”他对我爸爸说,“这里人多吗?”
我爸爸说不多.
“好.那我就住这里了.你可以叫我船长.把我的箱子拿到我的房间去吧.”
Every day he went to the cliffs and looked at the sea with his telescope.
每天他都会去悬崖上,用他的望远镜看海.
And every day he asked us:'Do you sometimes notice any seamen here?'
We began to understand that he didn't want to meet any seamen.One day he said to me,'Tell me when you see a seaman with one leg,and I'll give you
some money.'
而且,明天他都会问我们：“你们注意到什么时候有海员来这里吗?”我们开始明白他不希望看到其他的海员.一天,他告诉我：“当你看到一个一个腿的海员时告诉我,我会给给一些钱的”
Sometimes the old captain drank a lot of rum.Then he sang and he told us
some horrible stories.He didn't pay us any money,so my poor father was
unhappy and he became ill.One afternoon Dr Livesey came to see him.In
the evening the doctor smoked his pipe with some friends.The old captain
was there.
有时,这个老船长喝很多朗姆酒.然后,他就会唱歌,给我们讲很恐怖的故事.他从没有付过钱,所以我贫穷的父亲很不高兴,后来,他生病了.一天下午,里弗赛医生过来给他看病.晚上的时候,医生和一些朋友一起抽烟,老船长也在那里.
'Silence!' he said.'I'm going to tell you a story.'
‘Are you talking to me,sir?'said Dr Livesey angrily.
“安静!”他说“我要给你讲个故事”
“你是在跟我说话吗?先生”里弗赛医生生气的说.
