No,I said.I promised Silver I wouldn't escape,and I must go back.

But listen,I took the ship and she's in North Inlet,on the beach.
聽(tīng)著,我把船奪過(guò)來(lái)了,現(xiàn)在停在北面的海灘。
The ship!cried the doctor.
船!大夫叫起來(lái)。
I told him my story and he listened in silence Then he said,It's you that saves our lives,Jim,and now we'll save yours.
我把自己的經(jīng)歷給他講了,他靜靜地聽(tīng)著。然后他說(shuō):是你救了我們的命,我們也要救你出來(lái)。
Silver!he called,then as the cook came nearer,said,Some Advice don't hurry to find that treasure.
西爾弗!他叫道。等那廚子走近了,他又說(shuō):我要?jiǎng)衲阋痪?,別太著急去尋寶。
If you do,watch out for storms.
如果你那樣做了,請(qǐng)小心風(fēng)暴。
What's the game,doctor?said Silver.Why did you give me the map?
大夫,你這玩的是什么把戲?西爾弗說(shuō)。你為什么給我那張圖?
I can't say more,said the doctor.
我不能再多說(shuō)了,大夫說(shuō)。
It's not my secret to tell.
這不是我個(gè)人的秘密。
But if we both get out of this alive,Silver,I'll do my best to save you.
