Some of the villages are inhabited，almost exclusively，by fishermen；

or where the women and children sit romping¹ and looking out to sea，while they mend their nets upon the shore.

There is one town，Camoglia，with its little harbour on the sea，hundreds of feet below the road；

where families of mariners² live，who，time out of mind，have owned coasting-vessels in that place，and have traded to Spain and elsewhere.

水手们的家就在那里。很久以前,他们拥有那里的沿海贸易船只，与西班牙和其他地方进行贸易往来。

Seen from the road above，it is like a tiny model on the margin³ of the dimpled water，shining in the sun.

Descended⁴ into，by the winding⁵ mule-tracks，it is a perfect miniature of a primitive⁶ seafaring town；the saltest，roughest，most piratical little place that ever was seen.

Great rusty⁷ iron rings and mooring-chains，capstans，and fragments of old masts and spars，choke up the way；

hardy⁸ rough-weather boats，and seamen's clothing，flutter in the little harbour or are drawn⁹ out on the sunny stones to dry；

饱经风浪的船只和水手的衣服，或是在小海港中摆动，或足铺在阳光下的石头上晾干。

on the parapet of the rude pier，a few amphibious-looking fellows lie asleep，with their legs dangling¹⁰ over the wall，as though earth or water were all one to them，and if they slipped in，they would float away，dozing comfortably among the fishes.

在粗糙的码头护墙上，几个像两栖动物一样的家伙正躺在那里睡觉。他们的腿悬挂在墙外,似乎对他们来说无所谓水与陆。如果掉入水中,他们就漂走，在鱼儿们之间舒服地睡睡一会。
