《金银岛》是作家罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森的著名代表作。阅读下面有关寻宝过程的节选，了解主人公吉姆·霍金斯为寻宝做了哪些准备。
PS：Blandly found us an excellent man to be captain，and Silver found a man called Arrow to be first officer.
John Trelawney
Next day， I went to the Admiral Benbow and said goodbye to my mother. I was sad to leave， but when Redruth and I began our journey to Bristol， my thoughts turned to the voyage① and the search for treasure.
Mr Trelawney was waiting for us at an inn，near the sea.“Here you are！” he cried when we arrived.“The doctor came from London last night， so now the ship's company② is complete. We sail tomorrow！”
After I had finished breakfast， the squire gave me a note to take to Long John Silver at the Spyglass Inn.
It was a bright little place where the customers were mostly seamen. As I entered， a man came out of a side room and I knew immediately he must be Long John. His left leg was cut off above the knee and he walked with a crutch③ under his left shoulder. He was tall and strong with a big， smiling face.
Now， when I read about Long John in Squire Trelawney's letter， I had been afraid he might be the one-legged seaman that old Bill had talked about. But one look at the man in front of me was enough. I knew old Bill，and Black Dog，and
the blind man Pew. I thought I knew what a pirate④ looked like—a very different person from this clean and smiling man.
“Mr Silver，sir？”I asked，holding out⑤ the note.
“Yes，my boy，” he said.“That's my name. And who are you？” And then he saw the squire's letter and looked surprised.“Oh！”he said loudly.“I see you're our new cabin-boy. I'm pleased to meet you.”
Just then，a customer got up suddenly and hurried to the door. I recognized⑥ him as the man with only three fingers on his left hand—the one who had come to the Admiral Benbow！
“Stop him！” I shouted.“It's Black Dog！”
“I don't care who he is，”said Silver.“He hasn't paid for his drinks. Run and catch him，Harry！”
A man jumped up and ran after Black Dog.
“What was his name？”asked Silver.“Black what？”
“Dog，sir，” I said.“Hasn't Mr Trelawney told you about the pirates？He was one of them.”
“A pirate！I didn't know that,” said Silver.“I've seen him before，when he came with a blind man.”
“That was blind Pew， another pirate，” I said.
“That was his name！” said Silver.
I watched the sea cook carefully. But when the man Harry came back without the pirate，Silver seemed angry and I believed he was.
“I'll come with you to tell Mr Trelawney what's happened，” he said.“This is a serious matter.”
As we walked back， Silver told me many interesting things about the ships that we passed. I began to think he was going to be a good companion⑦ to have when we were at sea.
When we got to the inn， the squire and Dr Livesey were there. Long John told them about Black Dog， saying， “That was how it was， wasn't it， Hawkins？” And I had to agree. We were all sorry about Black Dog getting away， but there was nothing we could do.
“All the crew must be on board⑧ by four o'clock this afternoon，” Trelawney told Long John.
“Right， sir！” said the sea cook， and he left us to return to his inn.
“Trelawney，” said Dr Livesey， “I don't always think you find the best men， but I'll say this：John Silver seems a good man. Now，let's go and see the ship！”
约翰·屈利劳尼
又及：布兰德利给我们找到了一名出色的船长，西尔弗则找了一个叫埃罗的人做大副。
第二天，我回到本葆将军客店和我的母亲道别。我离开母亲有点悲伤，可是当我和雷德拉斯踏上去布里斯托尔的旅程时，我的思绪就转到了寻宝的旅途上。
屈利劳尼先生在海边的一个旅店等我们。“你们终于来了！”我们到的时候他喊道。“大夫昨天晚上从伦敦赶来了。现在全船的人都齐了。咱们明天就出海！”
我吃完早点后，乡绅给了我一张纸条，让我给在斯百戈拉斯旅馆的高个约翰·西尔弗送去。
这是一个小巧而明亮的地方，这里的大部分顾客是海员。我刚一进去，就有一个人从一间侧屋里出来，我马上认出他就是高个约翰。他的左腿从膝盖处被锯掉了，左肩下拄着一根拐杖。他身高体壮，笑容可掬。
当时，当我在乡绅屈利劳尼的信中读到高个约翰这个人时，我就担心他可能是老比尔提到的那个一条腿的海员。但只看一眼眼前这个人我就知道他是个什么人了。我认识老比尔、黑狗和盲人皮尤。我想我知道海盗长什么模样——完全不同于这个整洁而和善的人。
“西尔弗先生吗？”我一边问道，一边递出那张纸条。
“是的，孩子，”他说，“我叫西尔弗。你是谁？”他看着乡绅的字条，大吃一惊，然后叫起来：“噢！你就是船上新来的服务员。很高兴认识你。”
正在这时，一个顾客突然站起来并匆匆向门口走去。我认出他了，他左手只有三个手指——就是那个曾到过本葆将军客店的人。
“抓住他！”我大喊起来，“他是黑狗！”
“我不在乎他是谁，”西尔弗说，“他喝酒没付账。哈里，快去抓住他！”
一个人跳起来去追黑狗。
“他叫什么名字？”西尔弗问，“黑什么？”
“狗，先生，”我说，“屈利劳尼先生没和你说起过海盗的事吗？他就是他们中的一个。”
“海盗！我不知道，”西尔弗说，“我以前见过他，他曾和一个盲人一起来过。”
“那盲人叫皮尤，也是个海盗，”我说。
“那正是他的名字！”西尔弗说。
我仔细地打量着这位船上的厨师。但是当那个没追上海盗的哈里回来后，西尔弗似乎生气了——我确信他生气了。
“我和你一起去找屈利劳尼，告诉他发生了什么事，”他说，“这件事很严重。”
当我们往回走时，西尔弗给我讲了许多关于那些我们经过的船的趣事。我开始想他也许是一个不错的海上伙伴。
当我们到旅店时，乡绅和李甫西大夫已经到了，高个约翰告诉了他们关于黑狗的事。他说：“这就是事情的经过，对吗，霍金斯？”我只好点头称是。我们都很遗憾让黑狗跑掉了，但我们也无能为力。
“所有船员今天下午4点以前在船上集合，”屈利劳尼告诉高个约翰。
“是，先生！”海上厨师说，然后回他的旅店去了。
“屈利劳尼，”李甫西大夫说，“我并不总是认为你可以找到最好的船员，但我应该说，高个约翰·西尔弗似乎是个好人。现在，我们去看看船吧！”
①voyage n.航海；航行

《金银岛》故事梗概
年轻的吉姆·霍金斯躺在床上，梦见宝藏和海上历险，过几天这一切都将成为现实。他将要和他的朋友、乡绅屈利劳尼、大夫李甫西乘伊斯帕尼奥拉号帆船离开英格兰到南方的金银岛去寻宝。Unit 4 Section Ⅴ Writing

约翰·屈利劳尼
又及:布兰德利给我们找到了一名出色的船长,西尔弗则找了一个叫埃罗的人做大副。
第二天,我回到本葆将军客店和我的母亲道别。我离开母亲有点悲伤,可是当我和雷德拉斯踏上去布里斯托尔的旅程时,我的思绪就转到了寻宝的旅途上。
屈利劳尼先生在海边的一个旅店等我们。“你们终于来了!”我们到的时候他喊道。“大夫昨天晚上从伦敦赶来了。现在全船的人都齐了。咱们明天就出海!”
我吃完早点后,乡绅给了我一张纸条,让我给在斯百戈拉斯旅馆的高个约翰·西尔弗送去。
这是一个小巧而明亮的地方,这里的大部分顾客是海员。我刚一进去,就有一个人从一间侧屋里出来,我马上认出他就是高个约翰。他的左腿从膝盖处被锯掉了,左肩下拄着一根拐杖。他身高体壮,笑容可掬。
当时,当我在乡绅屈利劳尼的信中读到高个约翰这个人时,我就担心他可能是老比尔提到的那个一条腿的海员。但只看一眼眼前这个人我就知道他是个什么人了。我认识老比尔、黑狗和盲人皮尤。我想我知道海盗长什么模样——完全不同于这个整洁而和善的人。
“西尔弗先生吗 ”我一边问道,一边递出那张纸条。
“是的,孩子,”他说,“我叫西尔弗。你是谁 ”他看着乡绅的字条,大吃一惊,然后叫起来:“噢!你就是船上新来的服务员。很高兴认识你。”
正在这时,一个顾客突然站起来并匆匆向门口走去。我认出他了,他左手只有三个手指——就是那个曾到过本葆将军客店的人。
“抓住他!”我大喊起来,“他是黑狗!”
“我不在乎他是谁,”西尔弗说,“他喝酒没付账。哈里,快去抓住他!”
一个人跳起来去追黑狗。
“他叫什么名字 ”西尔弗问,“黑什么 ”
“狗,先生,”我说,“屈利劳尼先生没和你说起过海盗的事吗 他就是他们中的一个。”
“海盗!我不知道,”西尔弗说,“我以前见过他,他曾和一个盲人一起来过。”
“那盲人叫皮尤,也是个海盗,”我说。
“那正是他的名字!”西尔弗说。
我仔细地打量着这位船上的厨师。但是当那个没追上海盗的哈里回来后,西尔弗似乎生气了——我确信他生气了。
“我和你一起去找屈利劳尼,告诉他发生了什么事,”他说,“这件事很严重。”
当我们往回走时,西尔弗给我讲了许多关于那些我们经过的船的趣事。我开始想他也许是一个不错的海上伙伴。
当我们到旅店时,乡绅和李甫西大夫已经到了,高个约翰告诉了他们关于黑狗的事。他说:“这就是事情的经过,对吗,霍金斯 ”我只好点头称是。我们都很遗憾让黑狗跑掉了,但我们也无能为力。
“所有船员今天下午4点以前在船上集合,”屈利劳尼告诉高个约翰。
“是,先生!”海上厨师说,然后回他的旅店去了。
“屈利劳尼,”李甫西大夫说,“我并不总是认为你可以找到最好的船员,但我应该说,高个约翰·西尔弗似乎是个好人。现在,我们去看看船吧!”
