What about the frigate 1? I asked.
战舰呢？我问。
The frigate? Conseil replied, rolling over on his back. I think master had best not depend on it to any great extent!
战舰哪！康塞尔转过身来回答，我认为先生不要再指望它了。
What are you saying?
你说的什么？
I'm saying that just as I jumped overboard, I heard the men at the helm shout, Our propeller 2 and rudder are smashed!' Smashed?
我说的是，在我跳入海中的时候，我听见舵旁边的人喊：‘舵和螺旋桨都坏了都坏了?是的！

我想，林肯号受到的损坏虽然只存这么一点儿，可是，这种情况对于我们是很不利的，因为船无法掌握方向了。

Perhaps, Conseil replied serenely 6. However, we still have a few hours before us, and in a few hours one can do a great many things!
也许完了，康塞尔安静地回答，不过，我们还可以支持几个钟头，在几个钟头内，我们可以做不少的事!
