The lake is good for nothing except sea-fowl, herons, and oysters, and forms such a place as they call in the Indies a lagoon;

这个湖水除了有海鸥、苍鹭和牡蛎之外真是一无是处，这样的一个地方人们称之为泻湖。

I kill'd a sea fowl or two, something like a brand goose, and brought them home, but was not very forward to eat them; so I ate some more of the turtle's eggs, which were very good.

打死了一两只像黑雁那样的海鸟带回家，可又不想吃鸟肉，就又煮了几个鳖蛋吃，味道挺不错。
