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, andjudgmatically salted and peppered, there is no onewho will speak more respectfully, not to sayreverentially, 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 riverhorse, 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.
