サンパン(三板) サンパンは、その呼び名(「3枚の板」)が示すように、見た目は今にも壊れそうだ。これは全くトリガイの殻のようだ。しかし、外国製の大きなボートが必ず浸水するようなところに出現する。短い航海をする唯一の方法で、外国製ボートの便を使えない居合わせた通行人が利用できるので、上海のサンパンは絶対に必要だ。大きな平坦な羽のついたスカルがスクリュー・プロペラの原理で動いて進む。内部はそれほど豪華ではない。雨の日には、雨が打ち込むのを防ぐマットで新鮮な空気が入らないため、船室に入るのは嫌がられる。特に嫌がられるのは、「キャプテン」でも「エンジニア」でも、船を動かす人にぴったりした呼び方であれば何でもいいのだが、その人物が自分の晩飯を用意している最中である。SAMPAN! The sampan is in appearance almost as frail as its nickname ("three planks") would indicate. It is the veriest cockle shell. But it will live where a stout foreign gig would inevitably be swamped, and as it is the only mode of progression for short water trips, open to incidental passengers who cannot command the services of foreign boats, the Shanghai sampan is an absolute necessity. It is propelled by a large flat-bladed scull, which works on the principle of the screw propeller. The accommodation is not very luxurious, and there are certain objections to be taken to the cabin on a wet day, when fresh air is shut out together with the rain, by mats, and especially at the hour when the "captain" or "engineer," or whatever he may most fitly be called, is in the act of cooking his dinner. |
