查询词典 would rather

Canadian ice wine is made from the hundreds of years old German grapes through a very delicate method whose intricacy vindicates its high value. When it comes to harvest season, the viniculture farmers would leave the grapes exposed to snow and frost rather than picking them down the baskets till the next year when the temperature is below 15℃ and all the grape juice is solidified to clot, then they pick the grapes manually in a paced manner. The grapes picked in this way are very sweet. The percentage of sugar is increased to 45% in the 600 liters grape juice extracted from the 1000 liters grapes. With the 600 liters juice, only about 150 liters ice wine can be made.

加拿大的冰酒是由已有百年历史的德国葡萄品种所酿制，在葡萄收成季节时先不予摘收，任其在葡萄树上遭受冰霜的侵袭，直到次年温度低于摄氏15度时，葡萄结霜、冰冻到汁液全都凝固，再以手工快速摘取，此时的葡萄甜度高，约1000公斤的葡萄，只能产出600公升的葡萄汁，其糖份提高至45%，而这600公升的葡萄汁最后只可以制成约150公升的冰酒，所以冰酒之珍贵，不无道理。

While I was in View of the Moor that was swimming, I stood out directly to Sea with the Boat, rather stretching to Windward, that they might think me gone towards the Straits-mouth (as indeed any one that had been in their wits must ha' been supposed to do), or who would ha' suppos'd we were sail'd on to the southward to the truly Barbarian Coast, where whole Nations of Negroes were sure to surround us with their Canoes, and destroy us; where we could ne'er once go on shoar but we should be devour'd by savage Beasts, or more merciless Savages of humane kind.

那个摩尔人在大海里泅着水，我们的船还在他的视线之内。这时，我故意让船逆着风径直向大海驶去。这样，他们就会以为我是驶向直布罗陀海峡（事实上，任何有头脑的人都会这样做）。没有人会想到，我们会驶向南方野蛮人出没的海岸。到那儿，我们还来不及上岸，就会给各个黑人部族的独木舟所包围，并把我们杀害；即使我们上了岸，也不是给野兽吃掉，就是给更无情的野人吃掉。
