《远大前程》第17章匹普死里逃生(3)（打印版）

I realized I had not told anybody where I was going．No-body would know where to look for me．

我知道没有告诉任何人我去哪了，没有人会知道到这儿找我。

Another thing，he said，smiling cruelly，it was your fault your ugly sister was attacked．

还有另一件事情，他残忍地笑着说，你那讨厌的姐姐被击倒是你的过错。

I did it，I hit her with the iron chain your convict left on the marshes，but I did it be cause I hated you！

那是我干的，我击倒了她，用的是在沼泽地你那个罪犯留下的铁链。不过，都是因为恨你我才干的！

He drank again．I watched the level of the liquid go down．I knew that when he finished the bottle，my life would end．

他又喝了酒，我看到酒的液面在下降。我知道，当他喝完这瓶酒，我的生命即将结束。

And I know all about that convict you re hiding． I've waited and watched outside your rooms and on the stairs．

我对你藏的那个罪犯了如指掌，我已经在你的屋子外面和楼梯等候监视着。

You fell over me once．I've got a friend who's going to inform the police about him．Yes，Compeyson'll make sure he's hanged，when you're dead！

你一旦落在我手上，我有一个朋友，这个朋友打算把他的情况通知警察。对了，康培生确信他将被绞死。那时，你也归天了！

The last of the rum went down his throat，and picking up his hammer he came towards me．Determined to fight，I shouted as loudly as I could．

他最后一滴朗姆酒下肚，拿起锤子向我走来，决定去战斗，我拼命地大声呼喊。

Suddenly the door was thrown open and Herbert and Startop rushed in．

突然，门被撞开，赫伯特和史达多蒲冲了进来。

With a violent shout Orlick jumped over the table and escaped into the night．

伴随着一阵猛烈的嘈杂声，奥立克跳上桌子，逃窜到黑夜之中。

My two friends had found Orlick's letter to me，which，in my hurry，I had dropped in my room in London．

我的两个朋友发现了奥立克给我的信，由于慌忙，把信掉在伦敦我的屋子里。

They had suspected some wicked plot，and come straight to the town，and then to the marshes，to find me．

他们猜到一些不好的兆头，直接到了镇上，然后去了沼泽地找我。

Luckily they had arrived just in time．

真幸运，他们到得正是时候。

They took me back to London that night，and looked after me carefully all the next day.

他们连夜把我带回伦敦，第二天一整天都细心地照料我。

so that，although my arm was still aching，and I felt very weak，I was fit enough for the planned journey on Wednesday．

虽然，我的手臂仍然疼痛，感觉很虚弱，我还是能胜任星期三的旅行计划。
