　　The lone³ rebel among us was Conseil, who seemed utterly⁴ uninterested in the question exciting us and was out of step with the general enthusiasm on board.

　　As I said, Commander Farragut had carefully equipped his ship with all the gear needed to fish for a gigantic cetacean.

　　No whaling vessel⁵ could have been better armed.

　　就是一只捕鲸船也不会装备得更完备了。

　　We had every known mechanism⁶, from the hand-hurled harpoon⁷, to the blunderbuss firing barbed arrows, to the duck gun with exploding bullets.

　　我们船上的武器，应有尽有，从手投的鱼叉。一直到鸟枪的开花弹和用炮发射的铁箭。

　　On the forecastle was mounted the latest model breech-loading cannon⁸, very heavy of barrel and narrow of bore, a weapon that would figure in the Universal Exhibition of 1867.

　　在前甲板上装有一门十分完善的后膛炮，炮身很厚，炮口很窄，这种炮的模型曾在1867年的万国博览会中展览过。

　　Made in America, this valuable instrument could fire a four-kilogram conical projectile⁹ an average distance of sixteen kilometers without the least bother.

　　这门宝贵的大炮：是美国造的，可以发出重四公斤的锥形炮弹，射程是十六公里。
