powder cask 中文意思是什麼
powder cask
解釋
火藥桶-
Hunter brought the boat round under the stern - port, and joyce and i set to work loading her with powder tins, muskets, bags of biscuits, kegs of pork, a cask of cognac, and my invaluable medicine chest
亨特把劃子劃到大船左側的后舷窗下，喬埃斯和我則著手把火藥桶火槍餅干袋腌肉聽和一桶白蘭地，以及我那無價之寶的醫藥箱裝到劃子上去。 -
I found besides these chests, a little cask full of liquor, of about twenty gallons, which i got into my boat, with much difficulty ; there were several muskets in a cabin, and a great powder - horn, with about 4 pounds of powder in it ; as for the muskets, i had no occasion for them ; so i left them, but took the powder - horn : i took a fire shovel and tongs, which i wanted extremely ; as also two little brass kettles, a copper pot to make chocolate, and a gridiron ; with this cargo, and the dog, i came away, the tide beginning to make home again ; and the same evening, about an hour within night, i reach d the island again, weary and fatigu d to the last degree
一句話，這種酒非常難喝。可是，我打開那兩只大箱子后，找到了幾樣東西對我非常有用。例如，在一隻箱子里，有一隻精緻的小酒箱，裏面的酒瓶也十分別致，裝的是上等的提神烈性甜酒，每瓶約三品脫，瓶口上還包著銀子還有兩罐上好的蜜餞，因為封口很好，鹹水沒有進去。 -
Upon this occasion of removing my ammunition, i took occasion to open the barrel of powder which i took up out of the sea, and which had been wet ; and i found that the water had penetrated about three or four inches into the powder, on every side, which caking and growing hard, had preserv d the inside like a kernel in a shell ; so that i had near sixty pound of very good powder in the center of the cask, and this was an agreeable discovery to me at that time ; so i carry d all away thither, never keeping above two or three pound of powder with me in my castle, for fear of a surprize of any kind : i also carry d thither all the lead i had belt for bullets
所以，這個缺點於我來說反而成了一個優點。我對自己的發現真是欣喜萬分，決定立刻把我所最放心不下的一部分東西搬到洞里來，特別是我的火藥庫和多餘的槍支，包括兩支鳥槍和三支短槍。因為我一共有三支鳥槍和八支短槍，在城堡里留下五支短槍架在外墻洞里像大炮一樣，作戰中需要時也可隨時拿下來使用。
