《金银岛》第十四章 寻宝记(2)

Some of the men carried spades，others¹ food and rum，and we made² our way to the beach where the two boats were waiting．The men talked about the map．

其余的人拿着镐，食物，还有朗姆酒。我们来到停着两只小船的岸边。

The cross was³ too large to be of much help，and the words on the back of the map were no better．

他们讨论着地图上的标记。叉画得太大了，表示不了确切地点，背面的说明文字也好不到哪儿去。

Tall tree．Spyglass shoulder，to the North of North-North-East．

望远镜肩上一棵大树，方位北北东偏北骷髅岛，东南东偏东。

Skeleton⁴ Island East-South-East and by East．We landed⁵ the boats at the mouth of the second river，then began to climb Spyglass Hill．

Silver⁶ and I followed a long way behind the rest，and I had⁷ to help him．

西尔弗和我远远落在这伙人的后面，我还得帮他。

We were near the top when a man on the left cried aloud⁸．The others started to run towards⁹ him．

我们快到山顶时，左边一个人大叫一声，大伙都向他跑去。

He can't have found¹⁰ the treasure，said Morgan．

他不可能已发现了宝藏，摩根说。

And indeed¹¹ it was something very different—the bones of a human¹² skeleton，a few¹³ pieces of clothing¹⁴ still on it．
