When the red-faced man wound the rope round the stump at the lock, bringing the boat to a stand-still, he turned to Mary.

1705006802
“Michael is gone voyaging,” he said.
1705006803
1705006804
“Gone voyaging?” Mary repeated.
1705006805
1705006806
“Ay,” the man answered. “He would be always talking to the foreign sailors in the dock where the canal ends. His eyes would be upon the big masts of the ships. I always said he would go.”

● 绳拉出来是预备碇泊之用，现在绳是绕在木桩之上。bringing to a stand-still是成语：使停止。voyaging：通常指“长程航海”。
1705006809
1705006810
● foreign sailors：呼应前面的a strange sailor。dock：船坞。where the canal ends：运河的终点。
1705006811
1705006812
● masts：桅杆。ships和barque有大小之别。
1705006813
1705006814
● 红脸汉几句简单的话，很清楚地把Michael的理想说明了。

Mary stood there while The Golden Barque was in the lock. It looked like a toy ship packed in a wooden box.

“A three-master he went in,” the red-faced man said, as they made ready for the start. “I saw her standing out for the sea last night. Michael is under the spread of big canvas. He had the blood in him for the wide ocean, the wild blood of the rover.“And the red-faced man, who was the boss of the boat, let his eyes wander up the narrow neck of water before him.

● 据Mary看来，斯船已不复是金船。小船在水闸里停着，只像是一只装（packed）在木盒里的玩具船。
1705006821
1705006822
● three-master：三桅大船。
1705006823
1705006824
● they：泛指船上的人。made ready：管水闸的人把水位调整好了，船又可以开航了。
1705006825
1705006826
● her：船习惯用阴性代名词代替。
1705006827
1705006828
● under the spread of big canvas：巨帆张起，Michael站在下面。
1705006829
1705006830
● in him：在他身体里面。the wild blood加强前面的the blood…for the wild ocean：他有爱好海洋的血，流浪人的血。
1705006831
1705006832
● boss：主人。红脸汉虽不能出海远航，他的心未尝不追随Michael于海上焉，所以他的眼睛往前看。

Mary watched The Golden Barque moving away, the grotesque figure standing by the tiller. She stayed there until a pale moon was shining below her, turning over a little trinket in her fingers. At last she dropped it into the water.
1705006835
1705006836
It made a little splash, and the vision of the crescent was broken.
1705006837
1705006838
● 船又开走了，可是掌舵的是那个怪模样（grotesque）的人了。
1705006839
1705006840
● a pale moon：这个景致前面已出现过。景犹是也，船犹是也，唯人事之变迁大矣。
1705006841
1705006842
● a little trinket：不用the，而用a，好像这是任何一件首饰而已。事实上，读者当然知道这是那一件了。
1705006843
1705006844
● the crescent：新月。河里起了一些水花，新月的影子也破碎了。这是具体生动的描写，然而也有象征的意义。象征些什么，这里也不用说了。
