Then , as they were just passing the round tower , the young man shouted : " stand by there to lower the topsails and jib ; brail up the spanker ! 这时,船正在驶过圆塔,青年就喊道: “注意,准备收主帆,后帆和三角帆! ”

" that was not enough for those latitudes , " said the englishman ; " i should have taken four reefs in the topsails and furled the spanker . “在那种纬度的地方这样做是不够的, ”那英国人说道。 “如果是我,我就把顶帆放四隔,把尾帆扯落。 ”

All hands obeyed , and at once the eight or ten seamen who composed the crew , sprang to their respective stations at the spanker brails and outhaul , topsail sheets and halyards , the jib downhaul , and the topsail clewlines and buntlines 船上一共有八个到十个海员,他们有的奔到大帆的索子那里,有的奔到三角帆和主帆的索子那里,有的则去控制转帆索和卷帆索。

The ship drew on and had safely passed the strait , which some volcanic shock has made between the calasareigne and jaros islands ; had doubled pom gue , and approached the harbor under topsails , jib , and spanker , but so slowly and sedately that the idlers , with that instinct which is the forerunner of evil , asked one another what misfortune could have happened on board 尽管船上扯起了三张主桅帆,一张大三角帆和一张后桅帆,但它驶得非常缓慢,一副无精打采的样子,以致岸上那些看热闹的人本能地预感到有什么不幸的事发生了,于是互相探问船上究竟发生了什么不幸的事。
