河上

Young Mark Twain entered that world in l857 as a cub pilot on a steamboat . The cast of characters set before him in his new profession was rich and varied--a cosmos .

当讲到马克·吐温作为汽船上一个初出茅庐的引水员踏入这个新世界时，作者借助暗喻来形容工作在密西西比河上的人们。

The city on the Seine is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world with its art and culture, but also its haute cuisine and haute couture.

这座赛纳河上的城市是世界上最受欢迎的旅游胜地之一，不仅是因为艺术和文化，还因为这里的烹饪和时装。

Have you understood, my friends,how that bullet got into the body of the young peccary; how that casehappened to be so fortunately stranded, without there being any trace of awreck; how that bottle containing the document presented itself soopportunely, during our first sea-excursion; how our canoe, having brokenits moorings, floated down the current of the Mercy and rejoined us at thevery moment we needed it; how after the ape invasion the ladder was soobligingly thrown down from Granite House; and lastly, how the document,which Ayrton asserts was never written by him, fell into our hands?

小西瑞身上怎么会有一颗枪弹的；没有遇难船只的遗迹，怎么会有一只箱子好好地搁在海滩上的；装着纸条的瓶子怎么偏偏在我们试航的时候出现；正在我们需要船只的时候，为什么我们的平底船那么巧断了绳子，又那么巧从慈悲河上漂到我们身边来；在猿猴侵袭我们以后，软梯怎么会那么巧地从'花岗石宫'上面落下来；最后，艾尔通一口咬定他从来也没有写过的纸条，怎么会跑到我们手里来的；这些问题你们都明白吗？

Like the Petit Pont, this bridge is at one of the most ancient and historic crossing-places on the Seine.

如同Petit Pont桥一样，这座桥也是赛纳河上一座非常古老和历史上非常著名的桥。

Partly it has great practical value – you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you – daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

一方面是由于它有着非常实际的使用价值——当你跳跃着穿越Jaglan Beta的冰冷的月亮中间时，可以把毛巾裹在身上用来取暖；在Santraginus V的灿烂的大理石沙子的海滩，你也可以躺在毛巾上，呼吸浓烈醉人的海洋蒸汽；也可以在Kakrafoon的沙漠世界里，在红色的恒星照耀下，盖着毛巾睡觉；用它做帆，在缓慢宽阔的Moth河上泛舟；在近身搏斗中打湿了做武器；包住脑袋来防止毒气侵袭或者避开Traal的贪婪虫鸣兽的喋喋不休（一种发自内心的愚蠢的动物，它总是认为如果你看不到它，它也就看不到你——蠢得像灌木，却很贪婪）；可以在紧急情况下挥动毛巾表示求救信号；当然，也可以用来擦干身体——如果它看起来还是足够干净的话。

I am told this is the greatest seaport in the world, with 650 miles of waterfront, and ships calling here from many exotic lands, but the only boat I've happened to notice since my arrival was a small sloop tacking out of the East River night before last on the ebb tide when I was walking across the Brooklyn Bridge.

我被告知这是世界上最大的海港，有着650英里的近水码头，有很多来自世界各地异国情调的船只到访，但是自我到来后我只偶然注意到其中一艘，当时我正步行穿过布鲁克林大桥，那是一艘小单桅帆船，正抢风航行在夜色中的东河上，要在退潮之前继续它的航程。

Ten years later, he became a pilot on a steamboat that sailed on the Mississippi.
