71 I beleive【believe】you also will spend much money on
the voyage
by going, when not on service, to the tavern
and that you will amuse your self much with
the Taju/girls of the upper class/and with
other girls.
72 You are joking with me.
Though they say so, how can one amuse himsef
in that way during the voyage?
We have not every year the time to amuse
ourselves
but are quite wearied by business, often we
must rise earlier and go later to ed.
73 Certainly that may be.
74 What o clock is it at present.
75 It is past seven o clock with us.
76 Past seven o clock with us, is past four o
clock with the Dutch, is it not so?
77 Yes: I have a Dutch watch.
By that I know very well that day and
night have twenty four hours with the Dutch,
which with us are divided by twelve
as you know.
Thus every hour is diminish'd by the half
and every one is counted for half an hour.
Thus six o clock with the Dutch agrees with
our six o clock.

71 あなたも航海中にはお金をたくさん使うことでしょうね。
勤務時間外には居酒屋に行ったり、
上級階級の女性や
他の女性たちと楽しく過ごしたりして。
72 からかっているのですね。
そう言われますが、航海中にそのようなことで
楽しむ時間などどこにあるでしょうか？
毎年楽しむ時間などありません。
仕事で疲れ果てており、早起きをして
遅く床につくことが多いのです。
73 確かにそうかもしれませんね。
74 今何時ですか？
75 こちらでは7時を過ぎています。
76 こちらで7時過ぎということは、オランダ時間では
4時過ぎということですね？
77 はい。私はオランダの時計を持っています。
それで、オランダでは昼夜が24時間であることを
よく知っています。
それがこちらでは12時間に分けられているのです。
ご存知の通りです。
つまり、それぞれの時間は半分に縮められ、
それぞれが30分として数えられるのです。
このようにオランダの6時は
こちらの6時と一致します。

71 I believe you will also spend much money during the voyage
by going to taverns when not on duty,
and that you will enjoy yourself much with
the courtesans of the upper class and with
other women.
72 You are joking with me.
Though people say so, how can one amuse oneself
in that way during the voyage?
We don't have time every year to amuse
ourselves,
but are quite wearied by business; often we
must rise earlier and go to bed later.
73 Certainly that may be so.
74 What time is it now?
75 It is past seven o'clock by our time.
76 Past seven o'clock by our time is past four
o'clock by Dutch time, is it not so?
77 Yes, I have a Dutch watch.
By that I know very well that day and
night have twenty-four hours with the Dutch,
which with us are divided into twelve,
as you know.
Thus every hour is reduced by half,
and each one is counted as half an hour.
Thus six o'clock Dutch time corresponds with
our six o'clock.
