'Well, my lad,' growled the Captain slowly, 'I won't deny but what I find myself wery much down by the head, along o' this here, or but what I've gone clean about. But as to Lady lass, Wal'r, mind you, wot's respect and duty to her, is respect and duty in my articles, howsumever disapinting; and therefore I follows in your wake, my lad, and feel as you are, no doubt, acting up to yourself. And there ain't no other character, ain't there?' said the Captain, musing over the ruins of his fallen castle, with a very despondent face.“唔,我的孩子,”船长慢吞吞地,用低沉的说道,”我不想否认,我觉得我自己在这件事情上头脑有些糊涂。至于小姑娘夫人,沃尔,你听着,不论我多么失望,我认为尊敬她是我应尽的责任,因此,我跟随在你的后面航行,我的孩子,我觉得你做得很合适。这么说,就没有别的身份了吗?难道就没有了吗?”船长重复问道,一边心灰意冷地面对着他的倒塌了的城堡的废墟沉思着。
'Now, Captain Cuttle,' said Walter, starting a fresh point with a gayer air, to cheer the Captain up - but nothing could do that; he was too much concerned - 'I think we should exert ourselves to find someone who would be a proper attendant for Miss Dombey while she remains here, and who may be trusted. None of her relations may. It's clear Miss Dombey feels that they are all subservient to her father. What has become of Susan?'“卡特尔船长,”沃尔特用快活一些的神态,换了一个新的话题,使船长高兴起来--可是他太忧虑了,没有什么能使他高兴起来--”当董贝小姐住在这里的时候,我们应该设法找个人来,可以服侍她。这个人是可以信任的。她的亲属一个也不行。毫无疑问,董贝小姐觉得他们都是奉承她的父亲的。苏珊现在怎么样了?”
'The young woman?' returned the Captain. 'It's my belief as she was sent away again the will of Heart's Delight. I made a signal for her when Lady lass first come, and she rated of her wery high, and said she had been gone a long time.'“那位姑娘吗?”船长回答道,”我相信她已被辞退了。当小姑娘夫人刚到这里来的时候,我发出了一个试探她情况的信号,小姑娘夫人对她的评价是很高的,说她好久以前就走了。”
'Then,' said Walter, 'do you ask Miss Dombey where she's gone, and we'll try to find her. The morning's getting on, and Miss Dombey will soon be rising. You are her best friend. Wait for her upstairs, and leave me to take care of all down here.'“如果是这样的话,”沃尔特说道,”那么请您问一问董贝小姐,她到哪里去了,我们将设法把她找到。时间过得很快,董贝小姐不久就要起床了。您是她最好的朋友。请您在楼上等候她,楼下的一切都由我来照料。”
The Captain, very crest-fallen indeed, echoed the sigh with which Walter said this, and complied. Florence was delighted with her new room, anxious to see Walter, and overjoyed at the prospect of greeting her old friend Susan. But Florence could not say where Susan was gone, except that it was in Essex, and no one could say, she remembered, unless it were Mr Toots.船长确实十分垂头丧气,沃尔特说完话时叹了一口气,船长跟着也叹了一口气,并答应照沃尔特的话去做。弗洛伦斯很喜欢她的新房间,急着想见到沃尔特;当知道今后有可能会见她的老朋友苏珊时,她开心得简直要发狂似的。可是弗洛伦斯说不出苏珊到哪里去了,而只知道她在埃塞克斯;她记得,除了图茨先生一人之外,谁也说不出她到哪里去了。
With this information the melancholy Captain returned to Walter, and gave him to understand that Mr Toots was the young gentleman whom he had encountered on the door-step, and that he was a friend of his, and that he was a young gentleman of property, and that he hopelessly adored Miss Dombey. The Captain also related how the intelligence of Walter's supposed fate had first made him acquainted with Mr Toots, and how there was solemn treaty and compact between them, that Mr Toots should be mute upon the subject of his love.得到这个消息之后,郁郁不乐的船长回到了沃尔特的身边,并让他了解,图茨先生就是他在门口的台阶上遇见的那位年轻的先生;他是他的一位朋友,自己有一份财产,并毫无希望地迷恋着董贝小姐。船长也谈到原以为沃尔特已经死去的消息怎样使他与图茨先生相识,以及他们两人怎样达成庄严的协议,图茨先生必须闭口不谈他的爱情问题。
The question then was, whether Florence could trust Mr Toots; and Florence saying, with a smile, 'Oh, yes, with her whole heart!' it became important to find out where Mr Toots lived. This, Florence didn't know, and the Captain had forgotten; and the Captain was telling Walter, in the little parlour, that Mr Toots was sure to be there soon, when in came Mr Toots himself.接着的问题是,弗洛伦斯是不是能信赖图茨先生;弗洛伦斯笑嘻嘻地说道,”哦,我完全信赖!”,于是打听出图茨先生住在哪里就很重要了。弗洛伦斯不知道这一点,船长则已经忘记了;船长在小客厅里对沃尔特说,图茨先生一定很快就会到这里来的,正在这时候,图茨先生本人进来了。
'Captain Gills,' said Mr Toots, rushing into the parlour without any ceremony, 'I'm in a state of mind bordering on distraction!'“吉尔斯船长,”图茨先生不顾什么礼节,跑进客厅里,说道,”我已接近于精神错乱的地步了!”
Mr Toots had discharged those words, as from a mortar, before he observed Walter, whom he recognised with what may be described as a chuckle of misery.图茨先生好像是从迫击炮里把这些话打出来似的,在这之后他才注意到沃尔特,并吃吃地笑了一声来打招呼,这笑声可以说是很可怜的。
'You'll excuse me, Sir,' said Mr Toots, holding his forehead, 'but I'm at present in that state that my brain is going, if not gone, and anything approaching to politeness in an individual so situated would be a hollow mockery. Captain Gills, I beg to request the favour of a private interview.'“请原谅我,先生,”图茨先生抱住前额,说道,”可是我现在如果还没有失去理智的话,那么也正在失去它了;一个处于这种状态中的人如果还想讲究什么礼貌的话,那就是虚伪的嘲弄了。吉尔斯船长,我冒昧地请求您允许我单独跟您谈谈。”
'Why, Brother,' returned the Captain, taking him by the hand, 'you are the man as we was on the look-out for.'“哎呀,老弟,”船长握住他的手,说道,”你正是我们想要寻找的人。”
'Oh, Captain Gills,' said Mr Toots, 'what a look-out that must be, of which I am the object! I haven't dared to shave, I'm in that rash state. I haven't had my clothes brushed. My hair is matted together. I told the Chicken that if he offered to clean my boots, I'd stretch him a Corpse before me!'“啊,吉尔斯船长,”图茨先生说道,”我都成了寻找的对象了,那该是什么样的寻找啊!我不敢刮胡子--我是处于这样忙忙乱乱的状态之中。我没有把我的衣服刷过。我的头发蓬乱成一团。我告诉斗鸡,如果他想把我的靴子擦干净的话,那么我就让他死在我面前!”
All these indications of a disordered mind were verified in Mr Toots's appearance, which was wild and savage.所有这些精神错乱的症状,从图茨先生那古怪的、野蛮的外貌中也得到了证实。
'See here, Brother,' said the Captain. 'This here's old Sol Gills's nevy Wal'r. Him as was supposed to have perished at sea'“看这里,老弟,”船长说道,”这是老所尔?吉尔斯的外甥沃尔,就是那位我们都以为已经在海上死去的人。”
Mr Toots took his hand from his forehead, and stared at Walter.图茨先生把手从前额上拿下来,目不转睛地看着沃尔特。
'Well, my lad,' growled the Captain slowly, 'I won't deny but what I find myself wery much down by the head, along o' this here, or but what I've gone clean about. But as to Lady lass, Wal'r, mind you, wot's respect and duty to her, is respect and duty in my articles, howsumever disapinting; and therefore I follows in your wake, my lad, and feel as you are, no doubt, acting up to yourself.
