And here was the prize—this pearl as large as a filbert—with a pale pink tinge like a lady's fingernail—this spoil of a filibustering age—this gift from a European emperor to a South Sea chief. We gloated over it when all was snug.
这就是战利品——这颗珍珠和子一样——淡淡的粉红色像女士的指甲——这是一个拉布时代的战利品——这是欧洲皇帝送给南海酋长的礼物。当一切都很舒适时,我们幸灾乐祸。
