14 The Doctor Continues The First Day of Fighting Ends

CHAPTER 14 The Doctor Continues: The First Day of Fighting Ends We now ran to the stockade and at every step heard the pirates drawing closer. As we made for the clearing, the Captain passed his best gun to the Squire, who raised it to his shoulder and took aim. I turned and gave my sword to Gray, who, I am happy to say, spit on his hands and, taking it, made it sing as he slashed the blade through the sharp air. He had come back to the right side. We were advancing to our stockade when

第十四章医生继续说：第一天的战斗结束了我们现在跑向寨子，每走一步都能听到海盗们越来越近。 当我们向那块空地走去时，船长把他最好的枪递给了乡绅。乡绅把枪举到肩上，瞄准了。 我转过身来，把我的剑给了格雷，我很高兴地说，格雷朝他的手上吐了口唾沫，接过剑，在尖锐的空气中猛砍，使剑发出了歌声。 他回到了正确的一边。 我们正在向寨子前进的时候

some of the mutineers appeared. They stopped suddenly and the Squire and I fired, just as Hunter and Joyce did from the stockade. One of the enemy fell dead, shot through the heart. The rest scattered. Just as we were beginning to feel victorious, a shot rang out and poor Tom Redruth fell to the ground. It was plain he was dying. The rest of the mutineers had retreated, so we carried poor Tom back to our stockade, and there, after requesting prayers and asking forgiveness from the Squire, he died. The Captain then emptied his pocket of the many small items he had been carrying, such as pen, rope, ink, tobacco and a logbook. He climbed to the roof of the log house and there tied the flag of England to the top of a fallen tree he had with many pains drawn up. Finishing this, he came back down and asked me how many weeks before

一些叛变者出现了。 他们突然停了下来，乡绅和我开了枪，就像亨特和乔伊斯在寨子里开的枪一样。 一个敌人倒地而死，被子弹射穿了心脏。 其余的人散了。正当我们开始感到胜利的时候，一声枪响，可怜的汤姆·雷卓斯倒在了地上。 很明显，他快要死了。 其余的叛乱分子都撤退了，所以我们把可怜的汤姆抬回了我们的寨子。在那里，在向乡绅祈祷并请求原谅之后，他死了。 接着，船长从口袋里掏出随身携带的许多小东西，如钢笔、绳子、墨水、烟草和一本航海日志。 他爬到木屋的屋顶上，把英国国旗绑在一棵倒下的树的顶上，这是他费了好大劲才画出来的。 做完这些，他回来问我几个星期前

I expected another ship would come to find us if we had not returned. I answered that it would more likely be months, not weeks, before that happened. The Captain then answered that we were very tight on rations. "It's a shame we lost that second load. We're much in trouble without it." Just then, we heard the cannon fire again and heard a ball land just beyond the cabin. We knew then that they were firing for us, but we felt no alarm. "Oho!" said the Captain, "blaze away. You'll never hit us from where you are, but you'll do us the favor of using up all your powder." With that, the gun flared again, but to no purpose. They continued this all through the evening. Later that night, Gray and Hunter volunteered to try to rescue the rations from the shallow water where the low tide had left

我以为如果我们不回去，就会有另一艘船来找我们。 我回答说，那更有可能是几个月，而不是几周之后。 船长回答说，我们的口粮很紧张。 “很遗憾我们失去了第二批货。 没有它，我们的麻烦就大了。” 就在这时，我们又听到了炮声，听到一颗炮弹落在小屋那边。 当时我们知道他们在向我们开火，但我们没有感到惊慌。 “噢嗬！”船长说，“说吧。 你在这儿是打不到我们的，不过你可以帮我们把火药用完。” 说着，枪又响了，但没有任何意义。 他们整个晚上都这样。 那天晚上晚些时候，格雷和亨特自告奋勇，试图从退潮后的浅水区救出口粮

them in the sand. This proved useless, as Silver's men, they found, were already carrying most of them away. They had their arms around our supplies and each bore a musket, taken no doubt from some secret hiding place of their own. The Captain began to record our condition in his log. "Alexander Smollett, master, David Livesey, ship's doctor, Abraham Gray, carpenter's mate, John Trelawney, owner, John Hunter and Richard Joyce, owner's servants, landsmen, being all that's left, with stores for ten days. Thomas Redruth, shot dead, James Hawkins...." And, even as he was finishing, we heard a joyous shout—I ran out just in time to see Jim Hawkins safe and sound, climbing over the stockade wall.

他们在沙滩上。他们发现，西尔弗的人已经把他们中的大部分人带走了。 他们用手搂着我们的给养，每个人都拿着一支火枪，毫无疑问是从他们自己的秘密藏身处拿出来的。 船长开始在航海日志中记录我们的情况。 “船长亚历山大·斯莫列特，船上的医生大卫·利弗西，木匠大副亚伯拉罕·格雷，船主约翰·特里劳尼，船主的仆人约翰·亨特和理查德·乔伊斯，船主的仆人，陆地上的人，剩下的只有十天的储备。 托马斯·雷德拉斯，被枪杀，詹姆斯·霍金斯...." 就在他讲完的时候，我们听到了一阵欢呼声——我跑了出去，正好看到吉姆·霍金斯安然无恙，正在翻过栅栏。
