I left Lisbon the 24th day of November, in an English merchantman, but who was the master I never inquired.

我在 11 月 24 日离开里斯本，乘坐的是一艘英，但我从未询问过谁是长。

Less spectacular, and more distinctive, were the deeds of the hundreds of privateers and minor captains who overhauled British supply ships and kept British merchantmen in constant anxiety.

数百名私掠和未成年长检修英补给并让英一直处于焦虑之中，他们的那么引人注目，但更加与众同。

The vessel was an English merchantman, returning from Japan by the North and South seas; the captain, Mr. John Biddel, of Deptford, a very civil man, and an excellent sailor.

这艘是一艘英，从日本经北海和南海返回；德普特福德的长约翰·比德尔先生是一位非常有礼貌的人，也是一位优秀的水手。
