Of course when Peter landed he beached his barque in a place where the bird would easily find it; 彼得上岸以后,自然是把他曾坐过的鸟巢放在一处鸟容易看见的地方;
The unknown is greater than the known; the known is but as a barque on the ocean of the unknown. 未知比已知广大得多。已知只是未知海洋上的小帆船。
An improbable sort of barque, but at least it floats. 虽是一叶轻舟,它至少还浮在水面上。
This is a stormy economic world, and an independent Scotland would be a small, vulnerable barque. It would depend on oil for some 18% of its GDP, making it subject to shifts in global commodity prices. 我们现在身处风高浪急的经济海洋之中,独立的苏格兰将是一艘并不坚固的小帆船;它gdp的大约18%将来自石油,这让它受制于国际市场大宗工业原料价格的变化。
