Methinks I am like a man, who having struck on many shoals, and having narrowly escap'd shipwreck in passing a small frith, has yet the temerity to put out to sea in the same leaky weather-beaten vessel, and even carries his ambition so far as to think of compassing the globe under these disadvantageous circumstances.
我想,我就像一個人,撞上了許多淺灘,經過一小段小路,險些遭遇海難,還能魯莽地乘坐同一艘漏水的、飽經風霜的船隻出海,甚至懷抱著他的野心。甚至想到在這些不利的情況下環遊世界。
