現代語訳
について見るべきである。皆西洋人に学んでからそうなった。従来このような諸技術を西洋人が「オーストラリア」に教え、「オーストラリア」から再びこの島に伝えたのである。島民の服装は毛皮の外套と腰布を身に着け、貴官は正装の時に華麗な冠を戴く。男女皆身体に入れ墨を施し、頭髪と首筋には玳瑁（たいまい）、鳥の羽根を飾る。その性情は誠実にして信義があり、よく西洋の客を厚くもてなす。婦女は「タヒチ」より気が強くて従順でない。しかしながら貞操堅固にして淫らな行いは少ない。貴婦は多く機織り部屋を有する。教えの趣旨は「タヒチ」に行われる「キリスト教」と同じである。貴族の墓祭には時に人を生贄に用いることがあるという。僧人の服飾は医師に似ている。諸島中最も大きいのを「オアフ」島と呼ぶ。一千七百九十九年《寛政十一年己未》「クック」が土人に小舟を奪われ大いに争いの端を開き、ついに闘死した。この島上に総王が居を占め、近隣の諸島を統括する。王の下に「エリクス」と名付ける執政官数名がいて王命を諸侯に伝える。またその下に農工商等の庶民《「タウタウス」という土着の名》が付属する。今、王は土人を教化しようとして多く欧羅巴人を招致する。王の宮殿城郭の制度は西洋と同じく大小の鎗砲を備え、その守りは甚だ厳重である。水師も西洋に倣う。造船の技もあり南洋に航海する。
英語訳
should be observed. All this came about after they learned from Westerners. Previously, Westerners taught these various arts to "Australia," and from "Australia" they were transmitted again to these islands. The islanders' clothing consists of fur cloaks and loincloths, and high officials wear magnificent crowns during formal occasions. Both men and women apply tattoos to their bodies and decorate their hair and necks with tortoiseshell and bird feathers. Their character is honest and trustworthy, and they treat Western visitors with great hospitality. The women are more headstrong than those of "Tahiti" and less submissive. However, they are chaste and virtuous with little licentious behavior. Noble ladies often have weaving rooms. Their religious doctrine is the same "Christianity" practiced in "Tahiti." At noble funeral rites, they sometimes use human sacrifice. The priests' attire resembles that of physicians. The largest of all the islands is called "Oahu" Island. In 1799 《Kansei 11, Year of the Boar》, "Cook" had his boat seized by the natives, which greatly opened disputes, and he ultimately died in battle. On this island the supreme king establishes his residence and governs the neighboring islands. Under the king are several administrative officials called "Erics" who convey the king's commands to the various lords. Below them are attached the common people of farming, crafts, commerce, etc. 《called "Tautaus" in the native language》. Now the king seeks to civilize the natives and invites many Europeans. The king's palace and fortress system is the same as in the West, equipped with cannons large and small, and its defenses are extremely strict. The navy also follows Western models. They also have shipbuilding skills and navigate the South Seas.
