"God forgive me,"said the young man," for rejoicing at happiness derived from the misery of others, but, Heaven knows, I did not seek this good fortune; it has happened, and I really cannot pretend to lament it. The good Captain Leclere is dead, father, and it is propable that, with the aid of M.Morrel, I shall have his place. Do you understand, father? Only imagine me a captain at twenty, with a hundred louis pay, and a share in the profits! Is this not more than a poor sailor like me could have hoped for?"
“原谅我吧上帝，”这个年轻人说道，“对于从别人的痛苦那里获得了幸福而高兴这件事，但是，天知道，我没有刻意谋求这个好运；它发生了，我真的不能假装对此伤心。善良的船长莱克勒死了，父亲，而且很有可能在莫雷尔先生的帮助下我将接替他的位置。你理解吗，父亲？想象一下一个只有二十岁的船长，有一百路易的报酬，还有利润的分成！这不比像我一样贫穷的的水手所希望的还多吗？”
