The Old Margate Hoy
马盖特客船上的小伙子
By Charles Lamb
All this time sat upon the edge of the deck quite a different character. 在甲板边沿上一直坐着一个很特别的人，It was a lad,是个小伙子，apparently very poor,看上去很穷，very infirm, 很虚弱，and very patient. 也很有耐心。
His eye was ever on the sea, with a smile: 他总是微笑着看着大海；and, if he caught now and then some snatches of these wild legends,假如他不时捕捉到一些怪异传奇故事的片段，it was by accident, 那只是偶而已，and they seemed not to concern him. 而且似乎也与他无关。
The waves to him whispered more pleasant stories. 海浪对他讲述着让他更感愉快的故事。
He was as one, being with us, 他作为一个乘客与我们同行，but not of us.但却不是我们当中的一员。
He heard the bell of dinner ring without stirring; 他听见开饭的铃声，却无动于衷；and when some of us pulled out our private stores当我们一些人拿出各自的食物— our cold meat and our salads——冷肉和沙拉— he produced none, ——他什么也没拿出来，and seemed to want none.似乎他不想吃东西。
Only a solitary biscuit he had laid in; provision for the one or two days and nights, 他只准备了孤零零一块家常小饼干作为一两个昼夜的干粮，to which these vessels then were oftentimes obliged to prolong their voyage. 这些船只常常不得不航行这么长时间。
Upon a nearer acquaintance with him, 有一个比较接近他的人，which he seemed neither to court nor decline,这个人他既不讨好也不疏远，we learned that he was going to Margate, 从这个人我们得知他是去马盖特，with the hope of being admitted into the Infirmary there for sea-bathing. 希望住进那里的医院以便进行海水浴。
His disease was a scrofula,他患的是淋巴结核，which appeared to have eaten all over him.看样子结核已经蚕食了他的全身。
He expressed great hopes of a cure;他迫切希望把病治好；and when we asked him, whether he had any friends where he was going, 当我们问他所去之处是否有朋友时，he replied, “he had no friends.” 那人说：“他没有。
”。
