Long John Silver and another pirate(海盗)were outside the fort(堡垒,要塞)holding a white flag.
“Who goes there?” asked Captain Smollett.
“Captain Silver,” answered Long John Silver. “I’ve come to make an agreement.”
“Captain Silver?” said the captain. “Who is he?”
“When you deserted the ship, I became the captain, sir,” replied Silver. “I am willing to come to an agreement. Can I come in?” Silver asked.
But Captain Smollett refused.
“It’s a cold morning to sit outside on the sand,” and Silver.
“An honest man can sit on his ship. It’s your choice. You are either my ship’s cook—and—an honest sailor—or Captain Silver, a mutineer(叛徒)and a pirate. Well, what do you have to say?”
“We intend to find the treasure,” said Silver. “So give us the map. Here are our conditions: you can either join us when we find the treasure and we’ll leave you in a safe place on the journey home. Or you can stay here, with half the ship’s supplies, and I’ll tell the first ship we see where you are.”
“Is that all?” asked the captain.
“If you refuse our conditions,” replied Silver, “then we will fight you to the end.”
“No,” said Captain Smollett. “We cannot accept your conditions. Now, listen. Here are my conditions: you and your pirates must come to the fort, one by one and unarmed. You become my prisoners(囚犯)and I promise that you’ll have a fair trial(公正的审判) in England. If you don’t accept this, then I’ll kill you all. You can’t find the treasure. You can’t sail a ship. You can’t fight—Gray here escaped from five of you on the ship. These are my last words. I’ll kill you the next time I meet you. Now, get out!”
Silver glared with anger at the Captain. “I will break your wooden fort to pieces within an hour,” he shouted. And he sturmbled down the hill, and disappeared into the woods.
