李甫西大夫去伦敦了，他去找人在他不在期间为他照看他的病人。

Weeks passed, and I spent many hours studying Flint's map and dreaming of treasure.

Dear Livesey,

亲爱的李甫西：

I do not know whether you are at home or in London, so Iam sending copies of this letter to both places.

我不知道你是在伦敦还是回到了家里，所以我把这封信一式两份寄到两个地方。

The ship is bought and ready for sea.

船巳购妥并装备好，正待出海。

You never saw a bet－ter ship—and with the name Hispaniola.

你无法想像比这更出色的帆船了—我们叫她伊斯帕尼奥拉号。

I got her through my old friend, Blandly³, who, with everyone in Bristol, worked hard to find me a suitable⁴ ship when they heard the reason for our voyage－treasure ,I mean.

我是通过我的老朋友布兰德利搞到这条船的。在布里斯托尔，我们发掘宝藏的消息一传开，大家都乐于为我们效劳。
