It happened to be my turn at the wheel the hour before dinner, 聚餐前一小时，刚好轮到我在驾驶室里值班，
and I had the tantalizing 1 misery 2 of hearing them laughing and talking about their turtle, while I was hungry from want of dry bread and salt meat. 听到那些谈论龟汤的诙谐逗趣不时传来，饥肠辘辘的我，只想弄点面包干夹点咸肉打发肚子。
I had resolutely 3 kept my thoughts from the cabin during all the passage but once, 那种痛苦难捱实在饱含诱惑，我身在驾驶舱，尽量努力地克制自己，可一晃眼，
and now I found my ideas clustering round a tureen of turtle in spite of all my philosophy. 发觉眼前飘动的全是那碗美味的龟煲汤。
Confound them, if they had gone out of my hearing with their exulting 4 smacks 5, I should not have envied their soup, 倘若能逃离这种过大节的嘈杂热闹，恐怕我不会过多计较这些家伙开心的手足舞蹈，
but their hungry glee so excited my imagination 不过，他们坐立不安的等待的确勾起我太多联想。
that I could see nothing through the glazing 6 of the binnacle but a white plate with a slice of lemon on the rim 7, 当我仔细看着那块镀釉罗盘箱，突然发现里面另有一番天地，白色餐盘上切有一片柠檬摆盘，
a loaf of delicate bread, a silver spoon, a napkin, two or three wine glasses of different hues 8 and shapes, 数片切法精致面包，一枚银汤匙，一方餐巾，三两只不同色彩、形状各异的酒杯，
and a water goblet 9 clustering round it, and a stream of black, thick, and fragrant 10 turtle pouring into the plate. 一只高脚杯，统统逐位摆好，最后，那道黑色浓稠、香味扑鼻的龟煲汤优雅地倒入素白瓷盘。
