两年前我用滑膛枪打猎。
Every last word, by thunder! 'answered John.' Refuse that, and you've seen the last of me but musket - balls. '.“句句是实,我赌咒!”约翰答道。“要是你拒绝的话,你就等着吃枪子儿吧,休想再见到我。”
That became musca in Latin, then the diminutive muschetta and ultimately'u2014by now a weapon, not a projectile'u2014musket.这个词(mice)在拉丁语中写作“musca(苍蝇)”,加上后缀又变成“muschetta”,最后演变成“musket”——滑膛枪,一种兵器而不是弹射装置。
A terrified old woman fixed a mattress in front of her window on two clothes-poles for drying linen, in order to deaden the effect of musketry.一个吓破了胆的老妇人,把一块厚床垫系在两根晾衣服的杆子上挂在窗口外面,用以阻挡流弹。
The column, forced to retreat, remained massed in the street, unprotected but terrible, and replied to the redoubt with a terrible discharge of musketry.纵队被迫退却后又在街上密集,他们已没有掩护,但很可怖,他们用骇人的排枪向棱堡还击。
