'Come, Captain,' cried the injured youth, 'give my crime a name! What have I been and done? Have I stolen any of the property? have I set the house a-fire? If I have, why don't you give me in charge, and try it? But to take away the character of a lad that's been a good servant to you, because he can't afford to stand in his own light for your good, what a injury it is, and what a bad return for faithful service! This is the way young coves is spiled and drove wrong. I wonder at you, Captain, I do.'	“喂，船長，”受了委屈的年輕人喊道，”請給我定一個罪名吧！我是個什么人，我做了什么啦？我偷東西了嗎？我放火燒房子了嗎？如果我干過這些事，那么您為什么不去控告我和審判我？可是，一位曾經是您的好仆人的孩子，就因為他不能為了您的利益而妨礙他自己的前程，您就敗壞他的名譽，這是什么樣的侮辱！對于忠心耿耿的服務又是何等惡劣的報答啊！這就是為什么一些年輕小伙子會離開正道，走入歧途的原因！我真對您感到驚奇，船長。”
All of which the Grinder howled forth in a lachrymose whine, and backing carefully towards the door.	所有這些話，磨工都是淚流滿面，嚎啕大哭著說出來的，同時他又小心翼翼地往門口退去。
'And so you've got another berth, have you, my lad?' said the Captain, eyeing him intently.	“這么說，你已經找到另一個鋪位了，是不是，我的孩子？”
'Yes, Captain, since you put it in that shape, I have got another berth,' cried Rob, backing more and more; 'a better berth than I've got here, and one where I don't so much as want your good word, Captain, which is fort'nate for me, after all the dirt you've throw'd at me, because I'm poor, and can't afford to stand in my own light for your good. Yes, I have got another berth; and if it wasn't for leaving you unprovided, Captain, I'd go to it now, sooner than I'd take them names from you, because I'm poor, and can't afford to stand in my own light for your good. Why do you reproach me for being poor, and not standing in my own light for your good, Captain? How can you so demean yourself?'	船長聚精會神地注視著他。
'Look ye here, my boy,' replied the peaceful Captain. 'Don't you pay out no more of them words.'	“是的，船長，就用您的話來說吧，我已經找到另一個鋪位了，”羅布哭道，一邊繼續向后退去；”一個比這里更好的鋪位；我不需要您替我在那里說一句好話，船長，這對我來說是幸運的，因為由于我窮，由于我不能為了您的利益而妨礙我自己的前程，您已臭罵了我一頓。是的，我已經找到了另一個鋪位；如果我不是擔心沒有找到另外的仆人，就把您留下來的話，那么我真愿意現在就到那里去，而不來聽您因為我窮，因為我不能為了您的利益而妨礙我自己的前程而謾罵我。您為什么因為我窮，因為我不能為了您的利益而妨礙我自己的前程就責怪我呢，船長，您為什么能這樣行事呢？””你聽我說，我的孩子，”船長心平氣和地回答道，”你最好別再說這些話。”
'Well, then, don't you pay in no more of your words, Captain,' retorted the roused innocent, getting louder in his whine, and backing into the shop. 'I'd sooner you took my blood than my character.'	“唔，那么您最好也別再對我說那些話，船長，”被惹得生氣了的無辜的人說道，并繼續后退到店鋪里去；他的哭聲愈來愈響了；”我寧肯您抽掉我的血，也不要敗壞我的名譽！”
'Because,' pursued the Captain calmly, 'you have heerd, may be, of such a thing as a rope's end.'	“因為，”船長平平靜靜地繼續說道，”你也許聽說過打人用的短繩這種東西吧！”
'Oh, have I though, Captain?' cried the taunting Grinder. 'No I haven't. I never heerd of any such a article!'	“您聽說過嗎，船長？”罵罵咧咧的磨工喊道，”沒有，我沒聽說過。我從來沒聽說過這樣一種東西！”
'Well,' said the Captain, 'it's my belief as you'll know more about it pretty soon, if you don't keep a bright look-out. I can read your signals, my lad. You may go.'	“唔，”船長說道，”我相信，如果你不是時刻防備著的話，那么你將會很快熟悉它的。我明白你的信號，我的孩子。你可以走了。”
