And as for going as cook,though I confess there is considerable glory in that, a cook being a sort of officer on ship-board--yet, somehow, I never fancied broiling fowls;
我雖然承認(rèn)當(dāng)廚司相當(dāng)光榮,而且在船上,廚司也算得是個頭目...可是,不知怎的,我從來沒有燒烤子雞的雅興;
though once broiled, judiciously buttered, and judgmatically salted and peppered, there is no one who will speak more respectfully, not to say reverentially, of a broiled fowl than I will.
雖則雞子一烤好,牛油涂得不多不少,鹽和胡椒也加得恰到好處,那我是會比誰都起勁地稱贊它,雖不至于五體投地,也一定是心悅誠服的.
It is out of the idolatrous dotings of the old Egyptians upon broiled ibis and roasted river horse, that you see the mummies of those creatures in their huge bakehouses the pyramids.
古埃及人當(dāng)初就是由于對烤朱鷺燒河馬有種崇拜偶像似的偏愛,所以到今天你還在那些個金字塔,也就是他們那些巨大的燒烤房里看見這些動物的木乃伊.
