23 On Parole

CHAPTER 23 On Parole We were all wakened by the doctor's arrival and, I admit, I was ashamed to look him in the face. When he came, Silver was bright and merry with him. "Hallo Doctor! Top o' the morning to you, sir!" he cried. "Your patients are all doing well. Come and see." He carried on like this as the doctor came up the hill. "And we have a small surprise of a little

第二十三章假释我们都被医生的到来弄醒了，我承认，我羞于正视他。 当他来的时候，西尔弗和他在一起很开心。 “喂医生!早上好，先生！”他叫道。 “你的病人都很好。 快来看。”医生上山时，他就这样不停地说着。 “我们有一个小小的惊喜

stranger in our camp!" With this, the doctor stopped. "Not Jim!" "Why, of course!" said Silver. With this, the doctor looked shocked but insisted on examining his patients before turning his attention to me. "I consider it my duty, as mutineers' doctor, to keep you all healthy enough to hang when we return to England." After he had attended to the various ills of the pirates, he asked to speak to me alone. Again, the men protested and Silver turned on them. "Silence!" he roared, like a lion. They all cowered before him. "Now, Doctor, we're all grateful for your help with our ills. Hawkins, will you give your word that you won't run away?" This I did. Silver then asked the doctor to

我们营地里有陌生人！”说完，医生停了下来。 “不是吉姆!”“当然啦！”西尔弗说。 听了这话，医生看起来很震惊，但他坚持要检查他的病人，然后才把注意力转向我。 “我认为，作为反叛者的医生，我有责任保证你们身体健康，等我们回到英国再上绞架。” 在他处理了海盗们的各种问题之后，他要求和我单独谈谈。 这些人又一次提出抗议，西尔弗转向他们。 “安静！”他像狮子一样吼道。 他们都在他面前畏缩了。 “现在，医生，我们都很感激你对我们的帮助。 霍金斯，你能保证不逃跑吗？”我照做了。 然后西尔弗请医生说

walk away down the hill and he would walk me out. Once the doctor was gone, the men turned to barking and yelling until Silver quieted them down. "Do you want me to break our truce on the very day we go to look for the treasure? You fools! Dolts! We'll break it when it's our time." And with this, he walked me out the door, where we made our way toward the doctor. Once there, his face changed entirely. "Now, Doctor, I have saved this boy's life and I am now only here to save mine. I can only hope you'll assist us in both cases." "Why, John," said the doctor, "you're not afraid?" John admitted that he was and said he was bound to hang. But he hoped that the doctor would remember he had done some good in saving me.

走下山，他会送我出去。 医生一走，男人们就开始又叫又叫，直到西尔弗让他们安静下来。 “你想让我在我们去寻找宝藏的那天破坏我们的休战吗？” 你傻瓜!傻瓜!到时候我们会打破它的。” 说完，他送我出了门，我们朝医生走去。 一到那里，他的脸就完全变了。 “现在，医生，我救了这个男孩的命，现在我只是来救我自己的命。 我只希望你在这两件事上都能帮助我们。” “怎么，约翰，”医生说，“你不害怕吗？”约翰承认他是，并说他一定会被绞死。 但他希望医生能记得他救了我的命。

With that, Silver left me with the doctor, who first scolded me until he heard my incredible story. "You've found the ship?" he asked. "Why, it's been you all along who's been saving us, Jim." And with that, he tried to encourage me to break my word and come with him. But I wouldn't do it. I had given an oath. And so, he turned his attention to Silver. "A word of advice: don't try to find that treasure." "I have to," answered Silver, "or they will kill me themselves." "Well," said the doctor, "then I warn you to beware of high winds at sea—those squalls can be deadly. And when we return, if we get out of this adventure alive, I pledge to do everything I can to save you." With that, Silver beamed with joy and thanks. The doctor then shook my hand and

西尔弗说完，就把我丢给了医生。医生先是骂了我一顿，直到他听了我那令人难以置信的故事。 “你找到船了吗？”他问。 “怎么，一直是你在救我们，吉姆。” 说着，他试图鼓励我违背诺言，跟他一起去。 但我不会这么做。我发过誓。 于是，他把注意力转向了西尔弗。 “给你个忠告：不要去找宝藏。” “我必须这么做，”西尔弗回答，“不然他们会亲手杀了我的。” “好吧，”医生说，“那么我警告你要小心海上的大风——狂风是致命的。 当我们回来的时候，如果我们能活着离开这次冒险，我保证尽我所能来救你。” 西尔弗说着，露出了喜悦和感谢的笑容。 然后医生握了握我的手

took his leave of us at a brisk pace.

他快步向我们告别。
