And as for going as cook,though I confess there is considerable glory in that, a cook being a sort of officer on ship-board--yet, somehow, I never fancied broiling fowls;
我虽然承认当厨司相当光荣,而且在船上,厨司也算得是个头目...可是,不知怎的,我从来没有烧烤子鸡的雅兴;
though once broiled, judiciously buttered, and judgmatically salted and peppered, there is no one who will speak more respectfully, not to say reverentially, of a broiled fowl than I will.
虽则鸡子一烤好,牛油涂得不多不少,盐和胡椒也加得恰到好处,那我是会比谁都起劲地称赞它,虽不至于五体投地,也一定是心悦诚服的.
It is out of the idolatrous dotings of the old Egyptians upon broiled ibis and roasted river horse, that you see the mummies of those creatures in their huge bakehouses the pyramids.
古埃及人当初就是由于对烤朱鹭烧河马有种崇拜偶像似的偏爱,所以到今天你还在那些个金字塔,也就是他们那些巨大的烧烤房里看见这些动物的木乃伊.
