[烛光生存狂]-帆船时代航海术语小节

1，What's the gizmo with the horizontal shaft that you used to hoist anchors and cargo?

-windlass(起锚机）那个shaft 貌似应该改成 shafts.

2,What do you call it when two ropes are bound together with thin rope or jack line?

---- seizing. 抓索

3,Who was the first Dutch seafarer to circumnavigate the globe?

----Oliver van Noort

《荷兰航海家宝典》中提到过这个人的事迹。

帆船可以偏逆风航行的原理，固然可以用简单的受力分析（力的分解）来说明，但是帆片本身并非刚体，因此对于实际的帆船航行，可能需要用到空气动力学的知识。关于“风压”和“伯努利定律“。

The church rescues the lost.Werewolves,witches and warlocks are conseled to the true path by the Holy Inquisition or by the simple town-folk. If God chooses to be His instruments. Who are we to interfere?

It's strange...that I have to appeal to the conscience of a prist!

Don't be hasty. If his soul is innocent, it'll go to the paradise. But if I hear a confession of a devil incarnate... This however, can be put to a test. No spawn of Satan can enter the God's temple. Bring him here, and if he is not struck down by the divine punishment, then I naturally, will nt refuse him a confession.

You townfolks save got you some pitchy fingers.

If I were you, I wouldn't stay here long our city isn't really hospitable.

This map is authentic.

Miss you're a young lady of great composure, most of young girls would die of heart attack on spot.

The City of Abandoned Ships

...Now, about the question we discussed earlier, it turns out that rumors about the island have a basis in fact. It is clear that the possible falling of prices will create a considerable dent in our profits, which is why the Dutch East India Company considers it necessary to take measures to liquidate all the bums in the Caribbean Sea...

This is a letter I found in Stuvesant's residence-it's part of his correspondence with the Dutch West India Company. It clearly shows that this trading company is the one behind the plan to exterminate the homeless.

It also mentions some island, and luxury goods. And for some reason all of that revolves around vagabonds. Any idea all this mean!

Well, you realized that the vagabonds aren't exactly privileged- crushed hopes, broken lives, and the like- They have no health, no home, no money. Still, in spite of all that, they want something to believe in. Most of our kind believe in the existence of this so-called Isle of Justice, and that faith has saved the life of many a soul.

But the letter says that this Isle does existed! Read for yourself 'It turns out that the rumors about the island and factual...'

The public just eat it up. If Maco Polo were with us today. I tell you...

Sure, that too. He was pretty good to have around, really. He'd say,'Have you ever been to Tahiti? and folks would start gather around. And the tales that he spun...whee. A pity he left.

I was most enthralled...着迷 bum 流浪者

There's folks with a inflamed sense of justice. Our Teaser, he was liked that. Lifte,it weren't none too kind to the wretch. His favourite tale to tell was of the Island of Justice.

Said there was an island not even too far from here, build entired out of ships,'He said, people there lived good lives, and everyone was equal 'mongest themselves.

A sort of paradise on the earth, y'might say, AN EDEN ,A UTOPIA.

The company doesn't play around, my friend. And don't you mind that they're most visiable in Europe and the East Indies; they're as present here as anywhere, if not so vently...

SCENE Brothel

you had a run-in a shark? Heavens, how did you ever survived?

Well,let me start from beginning. We got ourselves into a real pickle. Dead calm, and heat to curdle a man's brains. Since we weren't moving, we figured to go for a swim. Cool down, a bit day like that. I tell you, there's worthy like a clouse of cool water. I was in such heaven, what with my thrashing and diving. I didn't clock when the lookout let out a cry:"Monsieur, get out of there!Shark! But then I saw it. I'd just dived down a couple dozen feet, and when I looked up, there was its silhouette about me. It might as well have been a whale, for the size of it! And the moment I saw it. it must have seen me too. 'Cause just then it turned and came straight for me...

it has not been long since Captain Sharpe honoured us with his presence. To out great regret, however, he brought us none of his wondrous anecdotes from Caribbean. A pity... And now, alas, he is off one more. They say he shall next grace Charlestown. Lucky sods.

如果打听到Sharpe在街上，那么就进入BUG了。

They're very elusive, and move around all the time! I just came to get the advice of an expert.

I've brought you a message from Morgan! Give me your hand!(是不是“似曾相识”？）

特诺奇蒂特兰梦幻之城

You probably understood that it is not so simple to accomplish. The dam leading to the city is reliably protected by the spell of fire. No long ago many white men come here. All of them were consumed by fire...

My ancestors came to the shores of the lake named Texcoco many centuries ago. At the time they were called the Mexica people. The shores of lack were populated by other tribes which have been hostile towards newcomers. But our surpreme god Huitzilopochtli commanded them to remind here. Then Tenoch, the leader of Texcoco, and Mexica started to call themselves the Tenochca Coxcoxtli, the leader of the powderful city of Culuacan, decided to exterminate the Tenochca. Then my ancestors left the shores behind and started to live on a boddy island in the middle of the land.

Time passed, and the Tenochca managed to fortify the island and even to construct a dam leading to the shore. And when the Tenochca elected Itzcoatl as their leader, a confederation of tribes was created, and the various people of this confederation became known as the Aztecs. Blessed times had come, the aztecs ruled the world. All tribes paid tax to the Aztecs, delieved food,slaves and concubines. The sacrificial blood--food of our god---painted the water of Texcoco red. The best warriors were sacrificed to Tezcatlipoca, the patron of our priests, and ordinary warriors were burnt in honor of Camaxtili. Women gave their blood to the goddess Mayahuel, and the children--to the God of fertility Tlaloc. Thus, it was for more than hundred years. But then came the Spaniards, and Tenochtitlan were besieged. And our heroes led by Cuauhtemoc have fallen. Now the God of kingdom of the dead Mictlantecuhtli rules in Tenochtitlan.

Mictlantecuhtli has the power to revive people. Mictlantecuhtli has returned warriors to life to guard the temples of gods, and there are also alive Aztecs.

In the temple of White Gods there is a weapon unequaled by anything that is or will be.

It is the obsidian sword Macuauhitl! Do you know that our obsidian sword and spears frightened the Spaniards more than iron ones!

Mixtili Auisotl

Hush!That is a name we do not utter here! If Mictlantecuhtli hears you walk the street of Tenochtitlan speeking of the one who must not be named, he will be angry and will make you his serucut(?) ahead of time!

Better still, make his an offering.

I have to watch you. You wandering in Tenochtitlan amused me. But now you have taken an item of my cult, and I'm no longer amused.

You see your godliness, I was tasked with getting this mask by a certain Aztec whose name isn't usually pronounced in these parts.

Montezuma it is the last chief of the Aztec Empire. 150 years ago, he betrayed the goods of his people when he tried to negotiate adoption of Christianity with Spanish missionaries. As for as Aztec god, we didn't forgive Montezuma his betrayal, and we cursed him. Almost all goods retreated to the limb, I was the only one who stayed here.

God can only live when people worship them. If people forget them, they must retreat to the limb_the world of oblivion. I stayed on earth only because I now own the Aztec people for all Aztecs were killed by Spaniards when they lost our support. I have the power of return dead bodies to life. Being the master of Tenochtitlan, I raise the decreased to serve me. And as for Montezuma, he's cursed, he can't join his people in the realm of the dead. He roams around Texcoco lake, and grives over the loss of his people...
