I ordered each man to be presented with something, as strings of ten or a dozen glass beads apiece, and thongs of leather, all which they estimated highly; those which came on board I directed should be fed with molasses.

  • -- Christopher Columbus 克里斯托弗·哥伦布

我命令每人拿出一件东西，一串十颗或十来颗玻璃珠子，还有皮条，他们对这两样东西的估价都很高。凡我所吩咐上船的，都要吃糖浆。
