（单词翻译）
The Lillian B. Womrath has always been able to beat the Wasp1 sailing, but I believe that if my schooner2 were properly handled it would be a different story.
莉莲B.沃拉尔号总能撞到黄蜂号，但我相信如果我的纵帆船被很好地操纵，故事的结局就会不同了。
Nobody knows how I suffer,
standing3 here on shore, helpless, watching the Wasp blunder along,
没有人知道当我无助地站在岸边，看着我的黄蜂被野蛮地撞来撞去的时候，我是忍着多么大的痛苦。
when all she needs is a steady hand on her helm.
那时候她多需要一双能稳稳把住她的舵的手呵。
So, my young friend, I'll let you sail the Wasp across the pond and back, and if you can beat that detestable
sloop4, I'll give you a regular job.
因此，我年轻的朋友，我将允许你把黄蜂号在这个池塘里开，而且如果你能狠狠的击败那艘可恶到极点的纵帆船的话，我还会给你一份正式的工作。
"Aye, aye, sir!" said Stuart, swinging himself aboard the schooner and taking his place at the wheel.
“好的，先生！”斯图亚特说着跳上那纵帆船，开始发动舵轮。
Ready about!
准备起航！
"One moment," said the man.
“等一等，”那个男人说，
Do you mind telling me how you propose to beat the other boat?
你还没有告诉我你打算怎么击败那艘船呢！
"I intend to crack on more sail," said Stuart.
“我打算撞裂她，”斯图亚特说。
"Not in my boat, thank you," replied the man quickly.
“谢谢，不要用我的船撞，”这个男人很快地回答。
I don't want you capsizing in a squall.
我不想你在大风中翻船。
"Well, then," said Stuart, "I'll catch the sloop broad on, and rake her with fire from my forward gun."
“好的，那么，”斯图亚特说，“我将开到她旁边，用我先进的武器对她猛烈扫射。”
"
Foul5 means!" said the man. "I want this to be a boat race, not a
naval6 engagement."
“这方法太不正当了！”男人说。“我是想参加帆船比赛，不想去打海战。”
"Well, then," said Stuart cheerfully, "I'll sail the Wasp straight and true, and let the Lillian B. Womrath go yawing all over the pond.
“好的，那么，”斯图亚特兴奋地说，“我将把黄蜂号笔直地往前开，并设法让莉莲号在航道中偏航。”
