解釋
硬質粘土-
It would make the reader pity me, or rather laugh at me, to tell how many awkward ways i took to raise this paste, what odd mishapen ugly things i made, how many of them fell in, and how many fell out, the clay not being stiff enough to bear its own weight ; how many crack d by the over violent heat of the sun, being set out too hastily ; and how many fell in pieces with only removing, as well before as after they were dry d ; and in a word, how after having labour d hard to find the clay, to dig it, to temper it, to bring it home and work it ; i could not make above two large earthern ugly things, i cannot call them jarrs, in about two months labour
我不知用了多少笨拙的方法去調合陶土，也不知做出了多少奇形怪狀的醜陋的傢伙有多少因為陶土太軟，吃不住本身的重量，不是凹進去，就是凸出來。根本不合用又有多少因為曬得太早，太陽熱力過猛而曬裂了也有多少在曬干后一搬動就碎裂了。一句話，我費了很大的力氣去找陶土，找到后把土挖出來，調合好，運回家，再做成泥甕。
