我故意不回答。

What was the use of debating such a proposition, when superior force can wipe out the best arguments?

因為碰到蠻不講理的時候,再來討論這類題目還有什么意義呢?

It took me a good while to decide, the commander went on. Nothing obliged me to grant you hospitality.

我猶豫了很久，船長又說，我沒有任何義務(wù)接待你們。

If I were to part company with you, I'd have no personal interest in ever seeing you again.

如果我要撇開你們，我就不想再來看你們了。

I could put you back on the platform of this ship that has served as your refuge.

我會把際們重新放在曾經(jīng)作為你們避難所的這只船的平臺上，

I could sink under the sea, and I could forget you ever existed. Wouldn't that be my right?

就當你們沒有存在一樣，只管潛入海中。難道我沒有這樣的權(quán)利嗎?

Perhaps it would be the right of a savage, I replied. But not that of a civilized man.

這也許是野蠻人的權(quán)利，我答，而不是文明人的權(quán)利。

Professor, the commander replied swiftly, I'm not what you term a civilized man!

教授先生，船長很激動地回答，我不是你們所說的文明人，

I've severed all ties with society, for reasons that I alone have the right to appreciate.

為了我個人才能感覺到的理由，我跟整個人類社會斷絕了關(guān)系。

Therefore I obey none of its regulations, and I insist that you never invoke them in front of me!

所以我不服從人類社會的法規(guī)。希望您以后不要再在我面前提這些東西了。
