尼德·兰对人家给我们的这种款待方式非常愤慨，池尽情地发泄他的愤怒。
Damnation! he exclaimed. These people are about as hospitable 2 as the savages 3 of New Caledonia! All that's lacking is for them to be cannibals!
混蛋!他喊，这儿的人待客不亚于喀里多尼亚人！他们只差吃人肉罢了！
I wouldn't be surprised if they were, but believe you me, they won't eat me without my kicking up a protest!
我才不奇怪呢，不过我要声明，我不会不反抗就让他们吃我!
Calm yourself, Ned my friend, Conseil replied serenely 4. Don't flare 5 up so quickly! We aren't in a kettle yet!
安静些，尼德·兰好朋友，安静些，康塞尔平心静气他说，没到时候，您用不着冒火。我们还没有被放在烤盘里呢！
In a kettle, no, the Canadian shot back, but in an oven for sure. It's dark enough for one.
对，还没有放在烤盘里，加拿大人答，但是毫无疑伺，我们已经在烤炉里了。
Luckily my Bowie knife hasn't left me, and I can still see well enough to put it to use.The first one of these bandits who lays a hand on me...
