At last , friday pitch d upon a tree , for i found he knew much better than i what kind of wood was fittest for it , nor can i tell to this day what wood to call the tree we cut down , except that it was very like the tree we call fustic , or between that and the nicaragua wood , for it was much of the same colour and smell 用什么木料造船，他要比我内行得多。直到今天，我还说不上我们砍下来的那棵树叫什么名字，只知道样子像热带美洲的黄金木，或者是介于黄金木和中南美的红杉之间的树。那种红杉又称巴西木，因为这树的颜色和体味都与这两种树相似。
