‘I am the captain of that ship,’ he said, ‘and these two men are my first and second officers.
“我是船长，”他说，“这是我两个大副和二副。
Last night there was a mutiny, and the seamen took the ship from me.
昨晚发生了一场叛乱，水手们夺走了我的船。
Now they’re going to leave the three of us here, to die on this island.’
现在他们要将我们三个人丢在这儿，让我们在岛上等死。”
‘De these mutineers have guns?’
“这些反叛者有枪吗？”
‘Only two,’ he answered, ‘and they’ve left those on the boat.’
“只有两支，”他回答，“他们把枪支留在船上了。”
‘All right,’ I said. ‘We’ll fight them, but if we get your ship back for you, you must take me back to England.’
“好的，”我说。“我们来打他们，但是如果为你夺回了船，你必须带我回英国。”
The captain agreed immediately and thanked me very warmly for my help.
船长立即同意并热情地感谢我的帮助。
Friend ran back to my house to get all the guns, and the captain and I made a plan.
星期五跑回我的房间取来所有的枪，船长和我做了计划。
The first part was easy, because the seamen were not ready for a fight.
第一步是容易的，因为水手没有作战的准备。
We shot the two men at the boat, and the captain shot another man.
我们开枪打死来船上的两个人，船长击毙来另一个人。
This man, Tom Smith, was the worst of them all and he began the mutiny on the ship.
这个男人叫汤姆·史密斯的，是其中最坏的一个，是他发动船上的叛乱。
Then the captain talked to the other five men, and they agreed to help him.
