For my part, I abominate all honorable respectable toils, trials, and tribulations of every kind whatsoever. It is quite as much as I can do to take care of myself, without taking care of ships, barques, brigs, schooners, and what not.

拿来说，一切尊贵的、重的劳动、考验和折磨，都乏味。能照顾自己已费事了，怎能管得了什么大船，三桅船，两桅方帆船，纵帆式小桅船等等？
