We were finally in the area of the monster's latest antics! And in all honesty, shipboard conditions became life-threatening.

我们终于到了这个怪物最近活动的地方了！老实说。我们在船上简直不是过生活了。

Between the Macphails and the Davidsons, who were missionaries, there had arisen the intimacy of shipboard, which is due to proximity rather than to any community of taste.

在身为传教士的 Macphail 家族和戴维森家族之间，出现了船上的亲密关系，这是由于接近而不是任何品味共同体。

The Clayton law was followed the next year by the Seamen's Act giving greater liberty of contract to American sailors and requiring an improvement of living conditions on shipboard.

第二年，继克莱顿法之后，海员法案赋予美国海员更大的合同自由，并要求改善船上的生活条件。

I had a similar experience later while crossing the ocean. I had an attack of lumbago so severe that I could not walk. I suffered extreme pain when I tried to stand up straight. While in that condition, I was invited to give a lecture on shipboard.

后来我在渡海的时候也有过类似的经历。我腰痛得厉害，不能走路。当我试图站直时，我感到极度疼痛。在那种情况下，我应邀在船上进行了演讲。
