terra incognita

Four shallops came off with very little noise alongside the lugger , which , no doubt , in acknowledgement of the compliment , lowered her own shallop into the sea , and the five boats worked so well that by two o clock in the morning all the cargo was out of the young amelia and on terra firma 四只小艇輕輕地駛近帆船，帆船無疑懂得這種迎候的意思，也放了自己的小艇下海。五只小艇工作得極其神速，到了早晨兩點鐘，全部貨物使都從少女阿梅麗號上御到了環球號上。

Believe me , and take comfort , this is better for me than tons of gold and cases of diamonds , even were they not as problematical as the clouds we see in the morning floating over the sea , which we take for terra firma , and which evaporate and vanish as we draw near to them 對我來說，這比成噸的黃金和成箱的鉆石更加珍貴，即使那些黃金和鉆石確實存在，不象我們在早晨看到深浮在海面上的，以為是陸地，而向它漸漸走近的時候就消失了的海市蜃樓。

As for his suspicions , once on terra firma , once that he had seen the indifferent , if not friendly , appearance of his hosts , his anxiety had quite disappeared , or rather , at sight of the goat , had turned to appetite 至于他以前的種種預測，在他登陸以后，看到那批主人的無所謂的即使不算是友誼的態度以后，他的成見已經打消了，或更準確一點說，是因為看到了那只山羊，以致他的念頭已轉到食欲上去了。

Thus , we appreciate huxley ' s wry comment and note that even children get the humor of cartoon physics , where , for example , a character running off a cliff does not fall until he realizes that he has left terra firma 所以我們可以領略赫胥黎的揶揄之語，也能意會卡通里連小孩都看得懂的物理玩笑，例如卡通人物沖出懸崖之后，一直要到發現自己已經離開了陸地，才會從半空中掉下去。

Now , drawing on new insights , theories , measurements and technologies ? and perhaps a bit of scientific bravado ? they are forecasting the shape of terra firma in the distant future 現在，憑藉新的洞見、理論、測量和技術，以及也許再加上一點科學上的虛張聲勢，他們正在預測遙遠的未來陸地的形貌。
