The Venetians, during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, carried on a very advantageous commerce in spiceries and other East India goods, which they distributed among the other nations of Europe.

十四和十五世纪期间，威尼斯人在和其他东印度面进行了非常有利贸易，他们将这些分配欧洲其他国家。

The consumption of the porcelain of China, of the spiceries of the Moluccas, of the piece goods of Bengal, and of innumerable other articles, has increased very nearly in a like proportion.

中国瓷器、摩鹿加群岛、孟加拉布以及无数其他物消费量几乎以同样比例增长。

In the spice islands, the Dutch are said to burn all the spiceries which a fertile season produces, beyond what they expect to dispose of in Europe with such a profit as they think sufficient.

在群岛，据说荷兰人会烧掉肥沃季节生产所有，这超出了他们预期在欧洲出售数量，而他们认为这样利润足够了。
