5 The Last of the Blind Man

CHAPTER 5 The Last of the Blind Man Curiosity drove out fear. I crept from under the bridge to the edge of the road and watched as my enemies' heads rose up out of the mist. They were led by the blind man, and soon seven or eight of them had reached the door. "Down with the door!" he cried and soon, they were rushing at it, surprised to find it open. Their terrible leader urged them on. They were in the Admiral in a moment and suddenly, I heard a startled cry—"Bill's

第五章最后一个盲人好奇心驱走了恐惧。 我从桥下爬到路边，看着敌人的头从雾中探出头来。 他们在瞎子的带领下，很快就有七八个人走到了门口。 “把门砸了！”他喊道。很快，他们冲了过去，惊奇地发现门开着。 可怕的首领催促他们继续前进。 他们一会儿就进了海军上将餐厅，突然，我听到一声惊叫——“比尔的。

dead!" The blind man told them to stop their blubbering and to search his body for the key. They rushed up the stairs, threw open the window, and started yelling—"Listen, Old Pew! Someone's been here before us. The chest is torn apart but the money's here!" "Drat the money!" he answered, "where is Flint's Fist? Is it on his body?" The men searched but found him bare. Then Blind Man Pew cried out, "It's that boy —I wish I had put his eyes out. They were just here; they had the door bolted just before. They must be close. Fan out and find them!" They roared through the inn, knocking things about as they tried to find us. Then we heard a whistle from the hill ring out two times.

死了!”盲人叫他们别哭了，到他身上去找钥匙。 他们冲上楼梯，打开窗户，开始大喊——“听着，老皮尤！有人在我们之前来过这里。 箱子被撕开了，但钱在这里！”“该死的钱！”他回答，“弗林特之拳在哪儿？ 是在他身上吗？”那些人搜了一遍，却发现他光秃秃的。 然后盲人皮尤喊道：“是那个男孩——我真希望我把他的眼睛挖出来。” 他们刚才还在这儿；他们刚才把门锁上了。 他们一定很近。散开去找他们！”他们在旅店里咆哮着，一边找我们，一边把东西敲得乱七八糟。 然后我们听到山上的哨声响了两声。

"That means it's Dirk," said one man, "we'll have to get a move on now!" But Pew lashed out at them, calling Dirk a coward and all of them fools for not searching harder. "Find it and we'll live like kings! You were all too cowardly to face Bill, all except for me, and I was blind!" And with that, Pew began to strike at them with his cane, causing a great uproar among them. Soon they were fighting like cats and dogs. Suddenly, the sound was broken by that of hooves and the ring of a pistol shot. The buccaneers turned and ran in every direction. Only Pew was left, tapping and cursing and crying out their names as he passed right by me. When he heard the riders, he spun and ran in a panic, slipping beneath one of their horses. He fell at their feet, now quite still. I soon saw it was a boy from the town and

“这说明是德克干的，”一个人说，“我们得赶紧行动了！”但皮尤却斥责他们，说德克是个懦夫，说他们都是傻瓜，因为他们没有更努力地寻找。 “找到它，我们就能过上国王般的生活！”你们都太胆小了，不敢面对比尔，除了我，而且我是个瞎子！”说着，皮尤开始用手杖打他们，在他们中间引起了一阵骚动。 不久他们就打得不可开交。 突然，这声音被马蹄声和枪响打断了。 海盗们转身向四面八方跑去。 只剩下皮尤，一边从我身边走过，一边敲打着、咒骂着、喊着他们的名字。 当他听到骑手的声音时，他惊慌失措地转身跑开，从一匹马的身下滑了下来。 他倒在他们脚下，现在已经一动不动了。 我很快就看出是镇上来的一个男孩

several officers. They immediately understood what had happened and took off in pursuit, slowed down by the weather and the need for their horses to go up steep hills. When they arrived at the docks, they saw that a small boat had already been set loose and that the scoundrels had escaped scot- free. My mother had recovered in the inn, but not old blind Pew. The man was more dead than stone. At the inn, we discovered everything in a wreck. After telling them my story, the head officer understood that it was the scroll in my jacket they were after. We quickly decided to make our way to Dr. Livesey's house to get it put away for safekeeping. With that, an officer helped me onto the back of his horse and I was off again, into the night.

几个军官。他们立刻明白了发生了什么事，立即出发追赶，但由于天气原因和骑马上山的需要，他们的速度放慢了。 当他们到达码头时，他们看到一条小船已经被放了出来，那些恶棍已经逃脱了。 我母亲在客店里康复了，但老瞎子皮尤没有。 那人死得差不多了。 在旅馆里，我们发现一切都是一堆残骸。 在告诉了他们我的故事后，警长明白了他们要找的是我夹克里的卷轴。 我们很快决定去找博士。 去利弗西家把它收起来妥善保管。 说完，一位军官扶我上了他的马背，我又上路了，消失在夜色中。
