subsistance 解釋
生存
  1. My first contrivance was to make a pretence to speak to this moor, to get something for our subsistance on board ; for i told him we must not presume to eat of our patroon s bread, he said that was true ; so he brought a large basket of rusk or bisket of their kind, and three jarrs with fresh water into the boat ; i knew where my patroon s case of bottles stood, which it was evident by the make were taken out of some english prize ; and i convey d them into the boat while the moor was on shoar, as if they had been there before, for our master : i convey d also a great lump of bees - wax into the boat, which weighed above half a hundred weight, with a parcel of twine or thread, a hatchet, a saw and a hammer, all which were of great use to us afterwards ; especially the wax to make candles

    我知道主人裝酒的箱子放的地方看那箱子的樣子,顯然也是從英國人手裡奪來的戰利品。我趁那摩爾人上岸去的時候,就把那箱酒搬上舢舨,放到一個適當的地方,好像主人原來就放在那兒似的。同時我又搬了六十多磅蜜蠟到船上來,還順便拿了一小包粗線,一把斧頭,一把鋸子和一隻錘子這些東西后來對我都非常有用,尤其是蜜蠟,可以用來做蠟燭。
  2. No, no, seignor inglese, says he, mr. englishman, i mill carry you thither in charity, and those things mill help you to buy your subsistance there and your passage home again

    誰都相信,我竟然能絕處逢生,其喜悅之情,實在難于言表。我立刻把我的一切東西送給船長,以報答他的救命之恩。
