„Isaw the harbor!”
“我看到港口了!”Mollyshoutedattractedon the shipimmediately the attention of allwitch.莫丽尔的一声呼喊顿时吸引了船上所有女巫的注意。„Wherewhere?”
“哪里哪里?”„, Canarrivefinally? Floatednearly a half a month......”
“诶,总算要到了吗?都漂了快一个半月了……”„Is thatpiece of silver-whiteluminous spotothersailing ships?”
“那片银白色的光点是其他帆船吧?”„Did not saythisroute, only then does H.M.S. Clever Bellepass through?”
“不是说这条航线只有俏美人号走过么?”„Fishing boat, is a fishing boat.”
“渔船,是渔船啦。”Everybodyliesto the broad sidenearin abundance, looks into the distanceto the directionstanding on tiptoesfoot of Mollyfinger.
大家纷纷趴到船舷边,向莫丽尔手指的方向踮脚眺望。
The scene that seesat presentthisjumping for joy, seniorcaptainOne Eye Jackshakes the headwith a smile, saidtowardstern-facedCamila Daryl,„youdo look like were not as if happy? Thisis a rareauspicious day.”
见到眼前这一幕活蹦乱跳的景象,老船长杰克.独眼笑着摇摇头,朝一脸凝重的卡密拉.戴瑞说道,“你看起来似乎不怎么高兴?这可是个难得的好日子。”„Whereis good?” The lattersomewhatabsent-mindedlyreturnsto say.
“好在哪里?”后者有些心不在焉地回道。„Is goodto go home,”Jackhas shaken the tobacco pipe, „canreturn to the long-separatednative land, hasn't thisbeen worthcelebrating? Do not think that Icannot look, youhave not treated asyourfamily/home--naturallymenot to mean that Sleeping Islandyoutreatrepugnantlyin the fjord, butrefuge shelterandfamily/home...... After allhas the difference.”
“好在回家,”杰克抖了抖烟斗,“能够回到阔别多年的故土,这还不值得庆祝吗?别以为我看不出来,你们并没有把沉睡岛当作自己的家——当然我不是说你们讨厌待在峡湾,但避难所和家……终归是有区别的。”Camilais silent, shedoes not knowthesewords that the opposite partyspokeare correct, onlyknowsafter the letter of Your HighnessTillyfeeds, is willingto go to the GreycastleWestern Region'switchpopulationto grow, frommoststartsto count50% that to increaseto about 80%gradually. Iffirstbatch of witchcanbe appropriately placed, shereallysaid that does not permitto havemany people willingto keepSleeping Islandfinally.卡密拉沉默下来,她不知道对方说的这些话到底正不正确,只知道当提莉殿下的信件传回后,愿意前往灰堡西境的女巫人数又增长了许多,从最开始统计的五成逐渐攀升至八成左右。如果第一批女巫能得到妥善安置的话,她实在说不准最后会有多少人愿意留在沉睡岛。Thereshouldbe the common customenvironment that theirhomeland--have not been hostile, does not havescaredChurch, the living conditiontrulycanmissfrom the beginningonmany, the customhabitis also widely divergentwith the landkingdom, so long asbutinsisted that tenyears, Sleeping Islandwill certainly keep improving. Evendoes not useonegeneration, witch that awakensnewlywill treat as the genuinenative landthatislands.
那儿本来应该是她们的家园——没有敌视的世俗环境,也没有令人胆寒的教会,生活条件一开始确实会差上不少,风俗习性也与陆地王国大相径庭,可只要坚持十来年,沉睡岛一定会越变越好。甚至不用一代人,新觉醒的女巫就会把那座岛屿当做自己真正的故土。Crossedfor a long time, shein a low voice said that „such that if the eternal truthyousaidwas good.”
过了许久,她才低声道,“如果真如你所说的那样就好了。”„Oh?”Jackfeels the beard saying that „doesn't believethatKing?”
“哦?”杰克摸着胡子道,“不相信那位国王?”„Do youknow?”Camilaraised head.
“你知道?”卡密拉抬起头。„Ha, you " medid not feel relieved that " wrotewhen the face,”seniorcaptainhas smiled, „stillremembered for threeyears ago whatappearanceyour did firsttimetake a passagewent to seais?”
“哈,你把「我不放心」都写在脸上了,”老船长笑了起来,“还记得三年前你们第一次搭船出海时是什么样子吗?”Threeyears ago...... Chief Housekeeperhas hesitated the moment, thatYour HighnessTillyin secretcontactswitchto evacuate the Greycastle'stime, asminoritydoes not have the captain of prejudiceto the witchstatus, JackandhisH.M.S. Clever Bellebravesto be accused, the risk of trial, has pickedlarge quantities ofwitchfrom the port citysecretly. Alsobecause of this, Sleeping Islandhas had the deepfriendshipwiththisone-eyedcaptain.
三年前……大管家沉吟了片刻,那正是提莉殿下暗中联络女巫撤离灰堡的时候,作为少数对女巫身份毫无偏见的船长,杰克和他的俏美人号冒着被告发、审判的风险,从港口城市偷偷接走了大批女巫。也正因为如此,沉睡岛与这位独眼船长结下了深厚的友谊。„Distressed?”Herhesitantly said.
“狼狈吧?”她迟疑道。„Distressed?”Jackthrowsone, „whereis so simple. At that timeyouwere dirty, ineyegloomy, said that is the living corpsesdoes not have the issue. Has a look at--to think that againnowis completely different? Therefore the pastwasin the past, the presentisnow, forwardlooksalwaysright. Andseveralwitchrepeatedlyhave also gone toNeverwinter City, ifthatis an awfulplace, theirhowimpossibledoes smilesowith ease?”
“狼狈?”杰克扑哧一声,“哪有这么简单。当时你们灰头土脸,眼睛里黯淡无光,说是活死人都没问题。再看看现在——是不是觉得完全不一样了?所以过去是过去,现在是现在,向前看总是没错的。其中有几名女巫还多次前往过无冬城,如果那是个糟糕的地方,她们怎么都不可能笑得如此轻松吧?”„Butnobleisfickleness--”
“可贵族都是善变者——”„Alsoincludesyou?” The seniorcaptainhas interruptedherwords, „, ifIhave not remembered incorrectly, you are also the noblefamily background? Leavesthe day ofGreycastle's, yourwearwants the fine-- common people possiblecompared withmostgoing on board the clothing that cannot need the silkto weave. Thinksto look, ifIrepugnantnoblelikeyou, whatsituationwill have?”
“也包括你吗?”老船长打断了她的话,“如果我没记错的话,你也是贵族出身吧?离开灰堡的那天,你的穿着比大多数登船者都要精细——一般平民可用不起丝绸织成的衣物。想想看,如果我像你一样讨厌贵族,会发生什么情况?”„......”Camilaopened mouth, actuallycannotanswercome up.
“……”卡密拉张了张嘴,却没能回答上来。One Eye Jackputs outwhite smokeslowly, „Ido not think that the onlystatusthencanjudgefit and unfit quality of person, besidesThree Gods, whocandecideownfamily background? witchalsosimilarlyso...... Youdid not think,hateswitchbecause of the witchstatuspurely, withprejudicenotwhat that youhaveessentiallydifferent?”杰克.独眼缓缓吐出一口白烟,“我不认为单凭身份便能判断一个人的优劣,除了三神,谁又能决定自己的出身呢?女巫也同样如此……你不觉得,单纯因为女巫的身份而憎恨女巫,和你持有的偏见并没有什么本质上的不同么?”Sleeping IslandChief Housekeeperfeltinfiercely the hearttrembles.沉睡岛大管家猛地感到心中一颤。„Youwill perhaps say, becausejustyouarenoble, understood that theyareanyappearances. Butdon't forget, so long asthere isonepersonis notso, yourprejudicewill becometoother partyunfair and injury.”Seniorcaptainpaused, „was sorry, child...... Perhapsthesewordsshould notbyme, butIdo not hope that youhad been hoodwinkedeye--by the pastexperiencenot onlyatthismatter. The people, must always lookforward.”
“你也许会说,正因为你是贵族,才了解他们是什么模样。但别忘了,只要有一人不是如此,你的偏见就会对他造成不公与伤害。”老船长顿了顿,“抱歉,孩子……这些话或许不该由我来说,可我不希望你被过去的经验蒙蔽了眼睛——不仅仅是在这件事上。人嘛,总是要向前看的。”No, excepthimoutside, somepeoplewill not say, Camilathought. Your HighnessTillyalreadyunderstood certainlythistruth, thereforeon own initiativewill go toNeverwinter City. Butshethesewill not speak franklysues--especiallythatnearlyblame " bothdo not haveessential difference " , is notbecause the relationsbecome estranged, because is extremely intimate, evenisyour highnesstoownthatEsteemed, has hinderedherfurtherexpostulation.
不,除开他以外,也不会有人这么说了,卡密拉心想。提莉殿下一定早就明白了这个道理,所以才会主动前往无冬城。但她不会将这些直言诉出——特别是那句近乎责备的「两者并没有本质区别」,不是因为关系疏远,而是因为太过亲近,甚至是殿下对自己的那份尊敬,都阻碍了她的进一步劝诫。EntireSleeping Islandperhapsalsoonly thenseniorcaptainwill callher the child.
整个沉睡岛恐怕也只有老船长会称她为孩子了。Camilareleased a long breath, „perhapsyousaidright.”卡密拉长出了口气,“或许你说得没错。”„Yes?”Jackhehesmiles, „was old, can always meetsimilarmatter, if no an optimisticheart, does not have the meansto insistin the seasuchfor a long time. However the followingdaydoes not feel better.”
“是吧?”杰克呵呵一笑,“年纪大了,总能遇见类似的事,若没一颗乐观的心,可没办法在海上坚持这么久。不过接下来的日子就不太好过咯。”„Why?”
“为什么?”„Youreturned to the mainlandkingdom, but alsowhotravelled byH.M.S. Clever Belle? Listened to the people of thesebigchambers of commerce saying that onetypedoes not need the newship of sailto substitute for the existingshipsquickly, became the main forcemerchant in fjord, the loador the speed, mustbe higher thanmythisold companion, at the appointed timeonlyfearedtransported freightnobodyto wantwithher.”
“你们都返回大陆王国了,还有谁来搭乘俏美人号?听那些大商会的人说,一种不需要风帆的新船很快就会取代现有船只,成为峡湾的主力商船,无论是荷载还是速度,都要远高于我这艘老伙计,届时只怕拿她来运货都没人要了。”„PerhapsIcanchatwithYour HighnessTilly......”
“说不定我可以和提莉殿下谈谈……”„What discussed that formeto pass the remaining years of life?” The seniorcaptainlaid out the tobacco pipe, „thatrathertooearly, I can also run! In fact, Iplanned that after youdeliver toGreycastle, the exploring party that goes toSirThundertries one's luck.”
“谈什么,供着我度过余生吗?”老船长摆了摆烟斗,“那未免太早了点,我还能跑呢!事实上,我打算把你们都送到灰堡后,就去雷霆大人的探险队碰碰运气。”„Exploring party?”Camilasurprisedsay/way.
“探险队?”卡密拉惊讶道。„Right, bridges over the shadowarchipelago, goes tonobodyto visit the sea area that so long asdiscoversanynewthing, let alonemoney of retirement, even ifopens a newmerchant groupnot to be a problem.”One Eye Jackhas turned around, is looking at the seahigh-spiritedsay/way, „do not look that Iold, leg and footis not flexible, byhavingBianwindoperates the rudder, the entirefjordcould not discoverseveralcompared withImore competentcaptain!”
“没错,跨过暗影群岛,前往无人踏足的海域,只要发现点什么新玩意,别说养老的钱了,就算开个新商团都不成问题。”杰克.独眼转过身,望着大海意气风发道,“别看我岁数大、腿脚不灵活了,论起辨风掌舵,整个峡湾也找不出几个比我更称职的船长了!”Yes...... Camiladiscovered,oneselfis similarfirstoneto knowthislooks like the ordinaryincomparablefjordold person, hisfacial expressionat this momentsimplyis " looks atforward " the bestportrayal.
是么……卡密拉发现,自己仿佛头一回认识这位看起来平凡无比的峡湾老人,他此刻的神情简直是「向前看」的最佳写照。„Boss, weare aboutto approach shore!”Observation on mastshouted.
“头儿,我们快靠岸了!”桅杆上的瞭望手大喊。„Thenalsoteacheswithme?”Jackraised the headto stare saying that „shorten, falls the speed!”
“接下来还用我教吗?”杰克抬头瞪眼道,“收帆,把速度降下来!”Camilalookstoharbor area, discovered that arounddockhas hung all overall kinds ofredscrolls, abovewrites " welcome toNeverwinter City " . Inwelcomenot onlyhaswitch, manyaverage people. Sheevensawlining up in formation comprised of the 11 or 12-year-oldchild, the handholds a bunch of fresh flower, standswaits fortheirarrivalsin the trestle.卡密拉望向港口区,发现码头周围挂满了各式各样的红色条幅,上面都写着「欢迎来到无冬城」。迎接者中不仅仅有女巫,还有许多普通人。她甚至看到了一支由十一二岁的孩子组成的列队,手捧一簇鲜花,站在栈桥边等待她们的到来。„Thisbattle formation is really grandenough,”seniorcaptainhas blown a whistling, „depending onthissincerity, you should also givehimto select the trust, not?”Afterwardhebusy the sailorsto the deckbrandishes the arm, „children, prepareto depend on the port, wetoNeverwinter City!”
“这阵势还真够盛大的,”老船长吹了声口哨,“光凭这份诚意,你也应该多给他点信任,不是么?”随后他向甲板上忙碌的水手们挥舞起手臂,“孩子们,准备靠港,我们到无冬城啦!”
