Chapter 8 As for Faria,Dantes noticed that,despite the distraction which his presence afforded him,he grew gloomier2 day by day.One day he stopped short in the midst of his pacing and cried out,"Oh,if only there were no sentry!” "Have you found a way to escape?"asked Dantes eagerly. "Yes,if the sentry were blind and deaf." "He'll be blind and deaf,"said the young man in a tone of resolution which frightened the priest. “Nol"cried Faria..“I'll have no bloodshed!" "At least a year.Here's my plan."Faria showed Dantes a drawing he had made.It was a plan of their two cells and the passage joining them.From the middle of this passage they would excavate a tunnel which would lead them under the gallery where the sentry paced back and forth. After fifteen months the hole was finished and they could hear the sentry walking back and forth0 above them.Now all they had to do was to wait for a dark,moonless night. ·044· 第八章 ①distraction 邓蒂斯注意到，法利亚长老虽然有他做伴，但 ds'trek∫onln.分心 他却一天比一天显得更忧郁。有一天，他突然在散 ②gloomy'glu:mi/a.阴 郁的：忧郁的 步中途停下来，感叹道：“哦，假如没有哨兵多 ③midt/mdst/al.当中， 中间 好！” ④pace /pels/,缓慢而行 “你已经发现一种逃跑的方法吗？”邓蒂斯急切 ⑤sentry/sentr/L.哨兵 地问。 “是的。要是哨兵又聋又哑就好了。” “他会又聋又哑的。”年轻人用一种坚定的语气 resolution 说，这语气把法利亚吓了一跳。 /reza'lju:jnln.坚定， “不！”法利亚喊道，“我不想看到流血” 决心 “至少一年，这是我的计划。”法利亚把他已画 好的一张图给邓蒂斯看。那是一张画有他们的两间 excavate /ekskaveit/ 牢房和通道的计划图。从那条通道中间，他们要再 挖开，凿通 挖一条地道，使他们能够通到哨兵来回走动站岗的 undf'Lnl/m.隧道，地 道 那条走廊下面。 ⑨gallery/'gelorv/n.长廊， 十五个月以后，地道挖成了，他们能够听到哨兵 走廊 在他们头上来回走动的声音。现在他们要做的就是 walking back and forth 来回走动 等一个黑漆漆的、没有月亮的夜晚。 一天，邓蒂斯刚把一块石头放好，他突然听到 ·045· The Count Of Monte Cristo Dantes had just finished putting stone in place when he suddenly heard Faria cry out in pain. “Oh,my God”cried Dantes.“What's the matter?” “I didn't think I'd see you again,”he said. “Why not'?”asked Dantes..“Did you think you were going to die?"
