Aye! cried out Tom Chist again, in great excitement. Don't you remember what I told you, sir, 269 foot?
湯姆再次叫嚷道，這次是興奮地說對(duì)！你還記得我告訴您的嗎，269英尺？
Sure that must be what I saw 'em measuring with the line.
當(dāng)時(shí)他們一定是用測(cè)量線量的尺寸。
Parson Jones had now caught the flame of excitement that was blazing up so strongly in Tom's breast.
瓊斯牧師如今看到湯姆胸膛正在燃燒著興奮的火焰。
He felt as though some wonderful thing was about to happen to them. To be sure, to be sure! he called out, in a great big voice.
他似乎感覺他們即將迎來興奮的事情，他高聲地叫嚷著不可否認(rèn)，不可否認(rèn)。
And then they measured out 427 foot south-southwest by south, and then they drove another peg,
隨后他們?cè)谖髂掀系姆较蛄砍隽?27英尺，隨后他們敲入了另外一個(gè)釘子，
and then they buried the box six foot to the west of it. Why, Tom, why, Tom Chist! if we've read this aright, thy fortune is made.
之后他們將盒子放在了釘子以西六英尺的地方，為什么湯姆，這是為什么！如果我們解讀的沒錯(cuò)，那我們就幸運(yùn)了。
Tom Chist stood staring straight at the old gentleman's excited face. Were they, indeed, about to find the treasure chest?
湯姆直勾勾地看著老紳士興奮的臉龐，他們真的能夠找到寶藏嗎？
Tom thought to himself; but all the time he stood staring into the good old gentleman's face.
湯姆這么想著，但他也始終看著老紳士的臉龐。
It was Parson Jones who first spoke. But what do all these figures mean? And Tom noticed how the paper shook in his hand.
牧師瓊斯先開口了，但這些數(shù)字代表什么意思？湯姆注意到這張紙?jiān)谒氖稚蠐u晃。
The parson began to read again. Mark 40, 72, 91. Mark? cried out Tom, almost screaming.
瓊斯再次讀了起來，記錄40，72，91，湯姆叫起來，幾乎是驚叫，記錄？
Why, that must mean the stake yonder; that must be the mark.
那一定代表著那里的木樁，記錄一定是說的那里。
And he pointed to the oaken stick with its red tip blazing against the white sand behind it.
他指著那根橡木棍子，頂部熾熱的紅色和后面的白沙形成對(duì)比。
And the 40 and 72 and 91, cried the old gentleman, in a voice equally shrill,
然后是40，72和91，老紳士叫嚷到，聲音同樣很尖利。
why, that must mean the number of steps the pirate was counting when you heard him.
在你聽到他的數(shù)數(shù)聲時(shí)，為什么一定是在數(shù)步伐。
To be sure that's what they mean! cried Tom Chist. That is it, and it can be nothing else. Oh, come, sir, come, sir;
湯姆叫嚷到，那一定是這些數(shù)字的意思！肯定是，沒有其它的可能，快來先生，快來，
let us make haste and find it! Stay! stay! said the good gentleman, holding up his hand;
讓我們趕緊找到它，老紳士說等一下，他抬起了他的手；
and again Tom Chist noticed how it trembled and shook. His voice was steady enough, though very hoarse,
湯姆再次看到他的手在顫抖，他的聲音很平穩(wěn)，就是有點(diǎn)沙啞，
but his hand shook and trembled as though with a palsy. Stay! stay! First of all, we must follow these measurements.
但他的手就像麻痹一樣顫抖，等一下，等一下，我們必須要先跟隨這些測(cè)量。
And 'tis a marvelous thing, he croaked, after a little pause, how this paper ever came to be here.
他發(fā)出低沉的聲音，這是個(gè)神奇的東西，之后停頓了一會(huì)，這張紙是怎么來到這里的。
