At the time of the abdication of Charles V. he was fifteen, and already apprenticed to the master of a small ship plying between England and the Netherlands. |||||отречение|||||||||учеником||||||||плавая||||| |||||resignation from throne|||||||||||||||||sailing regularly||||| ||||||||||||||学徒||这个|||||小船|航行||||| チャールズ5世の退位の時、彼は15歳で、すでにイギリスとオランダの間を航行する小型船の船長に弟子入りしていました。 当查理五世退位时，他只有十五岁，已经在一艘往返于英格兰和荷兰的小船上做学徒。 There he would hear of Philip's tyranny, of Alva's massacres, of the Netherlands revolt. |||听到|||||阿尔瓦|||||叛乱 |||||Philip's rule||||brutal killings||||uprising against authority |||||Филиппа|тирания||Алва|массовых убийств||||восстание Нидерландов 在那里，他会听到菲利普的暴虐，阿尔瓦的屠杀，以及荷兰的叛乱。

His rough school on the high seas was not without its reward. |艰苦的||||||是|不||| |challenging||||||||lacking||benefit 公海での彼の荒れた学校はその報酬なしではありませんでした。 他在公海上的艰苦学习并非没有回报。 He became a remarkably clever sailor, and when the skipper of his ship died he left it to young Francis Drake. |||удивительно||моряк||||капитан||||||||||| |||||||||ship's captain||||||||||| |||显著地||||||船长||||||||||| 彼は非常に賢い船乗りになり、彼の船の船長が死んだとき、彼はそれを若いフランシス・ドレークに任せました。 他成为了一名非常聪明的水手，当他的船长去世时，他将船留给了年轻的弗朗西斯·德雷克。

"But the narrow seas were a prison for so large a spirit born for greater undertakings," and the very year that the Counts Egmont and Horn were beheaded in Brussels, 1567, Drake was commanding a small ship, the Judith, in an expedition commanded by his kinsman, John Hawkins. |||||||||||||||предприятия||||||||графы Эгмонт||Горн||обезглавлены|||||командуя|||||||||командовал|||родственник||Хокинс |||bodies of water||||||||||||great endeavors|||||||||||||||||in charge of|||||the ship|||Voyage or journey||||family member||John Hawkins |||||||||||||||事业||||||||||||||||||||||朱迪思|||远征||||亲属|| 「しかし、狭い海は、より大きな事業のために生まれた非常に大きな精神の刑務所でした」と、1567年にブリュッセルでエグモント伯爵とホーン伯爵が首をかしげられたまさにその年、ドレイクは、指揮された遠征で小さな船、ジュディスを指揮していました。彼の親戚、ジョン・ホーキンスによって。 "但狭窄的海域对于这样一个注定要承担更大事业的灵魂来说是一个监狱，"就在伯尔吉斯的埃格蒙特伯爵和霍恩伯爵被斩首的同一年，1567年，德雷克指挥了一艘小船，朱迪斯号，在他的亲戚约翰·霍金斯指挥的探险队中。

The little fleet was a good deal knocked about in the rough gales then blowing in the Bay of Biscay, but they reached the Canary Isles in safety, and sailed thence to some of the Spanish settlements along the coast of America. |||||||撞击||||狂风大作|强风|当时|吹着||||||||||加那利群岛|加那利群岛|||||从那里||||||殖民地||||| ||small group of ships|||||damaged or battered|||||strong winds||currently occurring|||body of water||Bay of Biscay|||||Canary Islands|Islands||without harm|||from there||||||||||| 小さな艦隊は荒れた強風でかなりノックアウトされ、ビスケー湾を吹き飛ばしましたが、彼らは無事にカナリア諸島に到着し、そこからアメリカの海岸沿いのスペインの集落のいくつかに航海しました。 Маленький флот изрядно потрепало бурными штормами, дувшими в то время в Бискайском заливе, но они благополучно достигли Канарских островов, а оттуда отправились к некоторым испанским поселениям вдоль побережья Америки. 这支小舰队在当时在比斯开湾吹袭的狂风中被严重冲击，但他们安全抵达了加那利群岛，随后从那里驶往美洲沿海的一些西班牙殖民地。 Here, having collected a vast store of gold, silver, and jewels, they turned homewards. ||||||||||宝石||| ||||||||||precious stones|||towards home 在这里，他们积累了大量的黄金、白银和珠宝，便开始返回家乡。 But a gale blew them into the Gulf of Mexico, where they knew full well no welcome would await them from the Spaniards there. |||||||墨西哥湾|||||知道||||||||||| |||||||||Gulf region|||||||||||||Spanish colonists| しかし、強風が彼らをメキシコ湾に吹き飛ばしました。そこで彼らは、スペイン人からの歓迎が彼らを待つことはないことを十分に知っていました。 Но шторм занес их в Мексиканский залив, где, как они прекрасно знали, их не ждал радушный прием испанцев. 但一阵狂风把他们吹到了墨西哥湾，他们清楚地知道，那里不会有西班牙人热情欢迎他们。 However, they made a treaty and stopped to repair their injured ships. ||制定||||||修理||| ||||formal agreement||||||| 然而，他们签订了条约，并停下来修理受损的船只.

On the 23rd of January 1569 a weather-beaten man was riding post-haste from Plymouth to London with tidings of a desperate fray with the Spaniards. ||||||天气||||||急速||普利茅斯||||||||||| ||||||worn by weather|weather-worn||||very quickly|||||||news or information||||violent conflict||| Il 23 gennaio 1569, un uomo battuto dalle intemperie si recava da Plymouth a Londra con la notizia di una disperata battaglia con gli spagnoli. 1569年1月23日、天候に打たれた男が、スペイン人との絶望的な争いの知らせを聞きながら、プリマスからロンドンまで急いで乗っていました。 1569年1月23日，一个饱经风霜的人急急忙忙地骑马从普利茅斯赶往伦敦，带来与西班牙人激战的消息。 It was Francis Drake, and soon all England was ringing with the news, which had the great result that trade between Spain and England was stopped. |||||||||响亮|||||||伟大的||||||||| |||||||||buzzing with excitement|||||||||||||||| Si trattava di Francis Drake e ben presto tutta l'Inghilterra risuonò della notizia, che ebbe il grande risultato di bloccare il commercio tra Spagna e Inghilterra. 这是弗朗西斯·德雷克，不久整个英格兰都在传递这个消息，这导致了西班牙和英格兰之间的贸易停止。 It was the beginning of the end. 这是一切结束的开始。

True, Hawkins and Drake became the heroes of the hour; but over England herself a fierce war-cloud lowered, the horizon was dark with the danger of coming storm. 确实|||||||||时刻|||||||战争||||地平线|||||||| |||||||||||||||intense||||||||||||| 確かに、ホーキンスとドレイクはその時のヒーローになりました。しかし、イングランド自身の上に激しい戦争雲が下がり、地平線は暗くなり、嵐が来る危険がありました。 的确，霍金斯和德雷克成为了那一刻的英雄；但是在英格兰上空，一片猛烈的战云渐渐笼罩，地平线因即将到来的风暴而变得阴暗。 The Netherlands were in open revolt against Spain, but so far England had taken no part publicly. ||||||||||||||||公开地 オランダはスペインに対して公然と反乱を起こしたが、これまでのところイギリスは公に参加していなかった。

The very year that the Beggars of the Sea were sailing to Brille, Drake was sailing secretly away from Plymouth port with a little fleet and crew of seventy-three men, all under the age of thirty, on a desperate venture against Spain on the farther side of the Atlantic. 这|||||海盗|||||||||||||||||||||||七十|||||||||在||绝望的|冒险|||在|这个||||| |||||Dutch rebels|||||||Brielle, Netherlands||||||||||||||||||||||||||||risky undertaking|||||more distant||||Atlantic Ocean 正是在乞丐海盗航向布里尔的那一年，德雷克秘密地从普利茅斯港启航，带着一支小舰队和七十三名全部在三十岁以下的船员，进行一次冒险的远征，目标是位于大西洋彼岸的西班牙。 He had found out that Philip's treasure from the mines of Peru was landed at Panama, and carried across the narrow neck of land on the backs of many mules, to be reshipped for Spain on the other side. |||||||||||||抵达||巴拿马||||||地峡|||||背上|||骡子|||重新装船|||||| |||||||||||||unloaded onto shore||Panama City||||||||||||||||||||||| Ele descobrira que o tesouro de Filipe, proveniente das minas do Peru, foi desembarcado no Panamá e levado pelo estreito leito de terra nas costas de muitas mulas, para ser enviado de novo para a Espanha do outro lado. 他发现菲利普的宝藏从秘鲁的矿山运到了巴拿马，并通过许多骡子的背运送到这片狭窄的陆地上，准备在另一边重新装船运往西班牙.

"I have brought you to the treasure-house of the world," cried Drake, when he had sailed safely across the broad Atlantic. |||||||treasure storehouse|||||||||||||| 当德雷克安全航行穿越宽广的大西洋时，高喊道：“我把你们带到了世界的宝藏库！” "Blame yourselves if you go away empty." 责怪||||||空手而归 |||||leave or depart| 「空っぽになったら自分を責めなさい。」 如果你们空手而归，那就怪自己吧。
