The dirk had struck not half a foot below me, as I pursued my upward flight.
我刚才向上爬时,那把短剑猛地向我刺来,在我下面只有半英尺的距离。
Once so caught, and nine or ten inches of the bloodstained dirk would be my last experience on this side of eternity.
一旦被堵在船头,那把短剑的九或十英寸刀刃将是我在这个世界上尝到的最后一种滋味。
you would cross your Catalan knife with his dirk.
你会用你的迦太罗尼亚短刀去同他的匕首决斗的。
