从前那些夏天里，所有马达都装在舷内；距离稍远一些时，它们发出的声音是种镇静剂，是夏日睡眠的一种成份。

In those other summertimes, all motors were inboard; and when they were at a little distance, the noise they made was a sedative, an ingredient of summer sleep.

当你在选择大型的日间帆船（不用于过夜航行的——译者注），或一艘小型的远航帆船时，你可能会面临在配置舷内发动机或舷外发动机的帆船之间做出选择。

If you are looking for a large daysailer or a small cruising sailboat, you may be choosing between sailboats that have an inboard engine and those having an outboard motor.

很多配有舷外发动机的船，就像舷内发动机的船一样，是由电池启动的，使用燃料驱动交流发电机再给电池充电并供船只使用。

Many sailboat outboards, like inboards, are battery-started and use alternators to return power to the batteries and supply the boat's needs.
