Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 9: Silver Helped JimIt was now evening.'I must go back to the house now,' I thought. 'They're going to be angry with me, but I've got the ship.'So I left the ship and went happily back through the trees.I saw the house, and a big fire next to it.I moved on quietly through the trees and went into the house.It was dark and very quiet.'Everyone is sleeping,'I thought.Then somebody spoke.'Who's there?' he said.It was Long John Silver.Somebody brought alight.There were six pirates in the room.The other pirates were all dead.'So here's Jim,' said Long John Silver. 'Here to visit us. That's very nice ...'I said nothing.'So now you want to be a pirate, Jim,' Silver said. 'The captain and the doctor are angry with you,I know.''What's happening?' I asked.'Well, Jim,' said Silver. 'The ship's far away. Your friends left the house yesterday, and we're here now. And you, Jim, are you going to stay with us?''Let's kill him,' said one of the other pirates.'No,' said Silver.'I'm the captain. And I like this boy.'The other men were angry with Silver.They went away to talk about it together.'I want to help you,Jim,' said Silver quietly tome. 'But you must help me, too.'At last, the other pirates came back.They gave Silver some paper.It was black.'You aren't our captain now, John Silver,' one of the pirates said. 'We don't want you. And we don't want that boy.''Well,' said Silver. 'I have something you want. Look! And he showed them Mr.Trelawney's treasure map.''The doctor gave me this!' he said.The pirates were very excited and they all looked at the map.'Good old Silver!' they said. 'Good old Captain Silver!'The next morning the doctor came to the house.'Good morning, doctor,' said Long John. 'Look who's here!''Jim!' said the doctor. 'I want to talk to you. But first I must look at these men.''Now I want to talk to Jim, 'said the doctor after a few minutes.'No, you can't,'said one pirate.But Silver said, 'Yes,he can. You can speak to the boy, doctor.'The doctor turned tome.'Why are you with the pirates, Jim?' he asked sadly.'It was a mistake,' I said. 'They caught me here last night. But doctor, I've got the ship. It's in the North Inlet.''The ship! 'said the doctor.'Good boy!' he said.Then he turned to Silver.'Silver! Look after this boy. Perhaps I can help you later. Goodbye, Jim.'And the doctor left us.'And now, Jim,' said Silver, 'we're going to look for the treasure.'
