查询词典 muskets

He closed his eyes and instantly his ears were ringing with the cannonade, the firing of muskets, and the creaking of wheels, and again he saw the long line of musketeers running down-hill and the French firing, and he felt his heart beating and saw himself galloping in front of the lines with Schmidt, and, the bullets whizzing merrily around him; and he knew that sense of intensified joy in living that he had not experienced since childhood.

他闭上眼睛，就在这一瞬间他耳鼓中响起隆隆的枪炮声和辚辚的车轮声，又看见排成一条长线的火枪兵走下山来，一群法国兵开枪射击，他于是觉得，他的心在颤栗着，他和施米特并骑向前疾驶，子弹在他四周欢快地呼啸，他体会到一种从童年起未曾体会到的生存的万分喜悦的感觉。

I found besides these Chests, a little Cask full of Liquor, of about twenty Gallons, which I got into my Boat, with much Difficulty; there were several Muskets in a Cabin, and a great Powder-horn, with about 4 Pounds of Powder in it; as for the Muskets, I had no occasion for them; so I left them, but took the Powder-horn: I took a Fire Shovel and Tongs, which I wanted extremely; as also two little Brass Kettles, a Copper Pot to make Chocolate, and a Gridiron; with this Cargo, and the Dog, I came away, the Tide beginning to make home again; and the same Evening, about an Hour within Night, I reach'd the Island again, weary and fatigu'd to the last Degree.

我费了九牛二虎之力，才把酒桶搬到小船上。船舱里还有几支短枪和一只盛火药的大角筒，里面大约有四磅火药。短枪对我来说已毫无用处。因此我就留下了，只取了盛火药的角筒。另外我又拿了一把火炉铲和一把火钳，这两样正是我十分需要的东西。我还拿了两把小铜壶，一只煮巧克力的铜锅和一把烤东西用的铁钯。我把这些货物通通装进我的小船，再带上那只狗，就准备回家了。这时正值涨潮，潮水开始向岛上流。天黑后不到一小时，我就回到了岸上，但人已劳累得疲倦不堪了。

Flashes in the pan are common even if the flintlock muskets that gave rise to them are museum pieces. Colours are still nailed to masts, metal though they now usually are.

勤奋的人们不再是"焚膏"以继晷；"火药池中瞬间闪现的火光（ flashes in the pan ，比喻显耀一时却终归失败或昙花一现）"现在也很常见［译注：暗示现在这个成语已不再适合比喻昙花一现了］，即使造就它的燧发枪已经躺在了博物馆里；要想"公开表明立场（ nail one's colours to the mast ）"还得把钉子钉在桅杆上，尽管现在的桅杆大都是金属的了。

在他们上岸之前，我可藏身在丛林里，因为那儿有一个小坑，大小正好能使我藏身。我可以稳稳当当地坐在那里，把他们食人的残忍行为看得一清二楚。等他们凑在一块儿的时候，就对准他们头上开枪，准能打中目标，第一枪就能打伤他们三四个。

In the mean Time, I fitted my self up for a Battle, as before; though with more Caution, knowing I had to do with another kind of Enemy than I had at first: I order'd Friday also, who I had made an excellent Marks-Man with his Gun, to load himself with Arms: I took my self two Fowling-Pieces, and I gave him three Muskets; my Figure indeed was very fierce; I had my formidable Goat-Skin Coat on, with the great Cap I have mention'd, a naked Sword by my Side, two Pistols in my Belt, and a Gun upon each Shoulder.

他们本来有两个人留在小船上。可是，据我后来了解，他俩因白兰地喝得多了点而睡着了。后来，其中一个先醒来，看见小船搁浅了，推又推不动，就向那些四散在各处的人大声呼唤。于是，他们马上都跑到小船旁去帮忙。可是，小船太重，那一带的海岸又是松软的沙土，简直像流水一样。所以，他们怎么使劲也无法把船推到海里去。
