1. 'I don't, sir. I believe he's a good seaman; but he's too free with the crew to
be a good officer. A mate should keep himself to himself — shouldn't drink
with the men before the mast!'
2. 'Do you mean he drinks?' cried the squire.
3. 'No, sir,' replied the captain; 'only that he's too familiar.'
4. 'Well, now, and the short and long of it, captain?' asked the doctor. 'Tell us
what you want.'
5. 'Well, gentlemen, are you determined to go on this cruise?'
6. 'Like iron,' answered the squire.
1. 'Very good (отлично),' said the captain. 'Then, as you've heard me very
patiently, saying things that I could not prove (затем, так как вы слушали меня
очень терпеливо, говорящего = хотя я и говорил вещи, которых не мог
доказать), hear me a few words more (послушайте и дальше: «несколько слов
еще»). They are putting the powder and the arms in the fore hold (они
складывают порох и оружие в носовом трюме). Now, you have a good place
under the cabin (тогда как есть хорошее помещение под вашей каютой); why
not put them there (почему бы не сложить их туда)? — first point (первый
пункт = это во-первых). Then you are bringing four of your own people with you
(потом, вы привели с собой четырех своих людей = слуг), and they tell me
some of them are to be berthed forward (говорят, некоторых из них разместят в
носу;
give them the berths here beside the cabin (почему бы не дать им койки здесь,
возле вашей каюты)? — second point (это во-вторых).'
2. 'Any more (есть еще)?' asked Mr. Trelawney.

3. 'One more (еще одно),' said the captain. 'There's been too much blabbing
already (слишком много уже разболтали).'

3. 'One more,' said the captain. 'There's been too much blabbing already.'
1. 'Far too much (слишком много),' agreed the doctor (согласился доктор).
2. 'I'll tell you what I've heard myself (расскажу вам /то/, что слышал сам),'
continued Captain Smollett (продолжил капитан): 'that you have a map of an
island (/говорят/, что у вас есть карта какого-то острова); that there's crosses on
the map to show where treasure is (что на той карте нарисованы крестики,
чтобы показать, где сокровища); and that the island lies — — (и что остров
лежит…)' And then he named the latitude and longitude exactly (и затем он
назвал широту и долготу точно).
3. 'I never told that (я никогда такого не говорил),' cried the squire (вскричал
сквайр), 'to a soul (никому: «ни душе»)!'

4. 'The hands know it, sir (матросы знают это, сэр),' returned the captain
(ответил капитан).
5. 'Livesey, that must have been you or Hawkins (Ливси, это, должно быть вы
/все разболтали/ или Хокинс),' cried the squire.
