Chapter 12 Israel Hands

第12章 伊斯莱尔·汉兹

I lost no time and climbed up the rope on to the deck¹ of the ship．

我不失时机地抓住缆绳，爬上大船的甲板。

The two men were there，red-cap on his back，Israel Hands against the side，his face white There was dark blood around them on the deck，

两个留守的海盗都在甲板上，戴红帽的仰面躺在甲板上，伊斯莱尔·汉兹靠在船舷上，脸色苍白。他们周围的甲板上有斑斑血迹，

and I was sure each had killed the other in their drunken fight．

我断定他们酒醉之后自相残杀，结果同归于尽了。

Then Israel Hands turned with a low cry of pain．He looked across at me and whispered² one word：Rum．

这时伊斯莱尔·汉兹翻了一下身，痛苦地呻吟了一声。他看了我一眼，吐出一句话：朗姆酒。

I went below to the cabin³ where there were empty bottles on the floor and tobacco⁴ smoke filled the air．

我下到船舱里，地上全是空瓶，空气中充满了烟味。

I found a bottle with some rum left in it，and found some water and some bread and cheese for myself．

我发现只有一只瓶子里还有一点酒；我给自己找到一些面包干和干酪。

I took the bottle back on deck，where Hands drank half the rum before taking the bottle from his mouth．

我走上甲板把酒递给汉兹，他一口气就喝下去一半。

By thunder！he said．I wanted some of that．But where have you come from？

妈的！他说。我正需要这个。你是从哪儿来的？
