Chapter 11 The Great Agra Treasure
第十一章 大宗阿格拉寶物
Our captive sat in the cabin opposite to the iron box which he had done so much and waited so long to gain.
我們的犯人坐在船艙里，面對著他千辛萬苦費了多年工夫所得來的鐵箱。
He was a sunburned reckless-eyed fellow,
他的皮膚被烈日曬得很黑，
with a network of lines and wrinkles all over his mahogany features, which told of a hard, open-air life.
他的兩只眼睛象征著他那膽大妄為的天性，滿臉的皺紋，一看就知道他是在室外作過多年苦工的。
There was a singular prominence about his bearded chin which marked a man who was not to be easily turned from his purpose.
他那多須髭的下顎向外突出的怪樣，顯示出了他那倔強的性格。
His age may have been fifty or thereabouts, for his black, curly hair was thickly shot with gray.
他那鬈曲的黑發已經多半灰白，料想他的年紀當在五十上下。
His face in repose was not an unpleasing one, though his heavy brows and aggressive chin gave him,
在平常的時候，他的面貌還不算難看，可是在盛怒之下，
as I had lately seen, a terrible expression when moved to anger.
他那濃眉和兇惡的下顎就組成了一副可憎的面貌。
He sat now with his handcuffed hands upon his lap, and his head sunk upon his breast,
他坐在那里，把帶銬的雙手擱在膝上低頭不語，
while he looked with his keen, twinkling eyes at the box which had been the cause of his ill-doings.
不斷用他那雙銳利的眼睛望著那只使他犯罪的鐵箱。
It seemed to me that there was more sorrow than anger in his rigid and contained countenance.
依我看來，他的表情似乎悲痛多于忿怒。
Once he looked up at me with a gleam of something like humour in his eyes.
有一次他抬頭向我望了一眼，眼光里似乎帶著些幽默的意味。
