While our young pirate is on her way to start her adventures, we need to consider who she's up against.

就在我們的年輕女海盜準備展開冒險時，我們得想想她會面對哪些對手。

You got to remember pirates are the bad guys.

Sea bound criminals out there to make as much money as they can.

他們是海上罪犯，一心只想賺大錢。

Some of them just wanted to improve themselves in society, but

有些人只是想在社會上提升自己，但

then others I'm pretty sure loved the thrill and the excitement of the chase and the brutality of combat.

另外一些人，我確定他們熱愛追逐的刺激與興奮，以及戰鬥的殘酷。

Fat merchantmen, ships full of cargo that don't put up much of a fight.

那些載滿貨物、不太會反抗的肥美商船。

They want to avoid the navies of the world, especially the Royal Navy.

他們想避開世界各國的海軍，特別是皇家海軍。

During the golden age of piracy around 1695-1725, most men and Royal Navy ships will be involved in fighting if a ship went into combat.

在海盜黃金時代，大約西元1695年至1725年間，如果船艦進入戰鬥，大部分的船員和皇家海軍艦艇都會參與其中。

But they also carried a detachment of soldiers whose job it was to be first into the fight.

但船上也會載著一支步兵隊伍，他們的任務是第一批投入戰鬥。

These men were from marine regiments, trained infantry that were equipped to fight on board ships.

這些人來自海軍陸戰隊團，是受過訓練的步兵，配備能在船上作戰。

This weathered Veteran is from Colonel Goring's Regiment of Marines from around 1715.

這位飽經風霜的老兵來自上校 Goring 的海軍陸戰隊團，大約是西元1715年的時候。

This Marine is dressed in a similar style to a regular infantryman of the period with a few notable differences.

這位海軍陸戰隊員的穿著風格與當時一般的步兵相似，但有幾個顯著的差異。

He sports the famous red coat of the British army but instead of a cocked hat worn by land troops, he wears the new grenadiers cap worn which is made from leather and covered in fabric.

他穿著英軍著名的紅色外套，但不同於陸軍部隊戴的三角帽，他戴的是新式的擲彈兵帽，由皮革製成並覆蓋布料。

It's far more practical to wear on a ship.

This one still has the cipher of Queen Anne on it as the Queen died at.

這頂帽子上還有安妮女王的徽記，因為女王在...

George the first came to the throne when this man was serving abroad.

喬治一世繼位時，這位阿兵哥正在國外服役。

His equipment is carried in canvas bags rather than leather ones as they will not rot at sea.

他的裝備是放在帆布袋裡，而不是皮革袋，因為帆布袋在海上不會腐爛。

He carries a dog lock musket and also has one of the new socket style bayonets that can be attached to it.

他攜帶一把鎖栓式滑膛槍，還有一個可以裝上去的新式插槽式刺刀。

Ammunition for his gun is kept in the belly box on his belt, but

他槍枝的彈藥放在腰帶上的彈藥盒裡，但是

he also wears a hanger, the short infantryman's sword.

他還佩戴一把佩刀，這是步兵的短劍。

Soldiers and marines of this period were usually recruited from the lowest levels of society.

這個時期的阿兵哥和海軍陸戰隊員通常是從社會底層招募的。

They probably had quite a lot in common with the pirates.

他們可能和海盜有很多共同點。

They volunteered or were impressed into the army usually to avoid poverty or a prison sentence.

他們自願或被強徵入伍，通常是為了逃避貧困或牢獄之災。

Recruiting parties scoured the country looking for suitable candidates to join the army and when they found a man they would persuade him to take the King's shilling.

招募人員在全國各地尋找合適的候選人加入軍隊，當他們找到一個人時，就會說服他接受國王的銀幣。

This marine has received a lot of training in the use of arms.

這位海軍陸戰隊員接受了大量的武器使用訓練。

How to load and fire his weapon, how it should be carried and used in hand to hand combat was all detailed in drill books like the Duke of Marlborough's new exercise of fire locks and bayonets.

如何裝載和發射他的武器，如何在近身格鬥中使用和攜帶，這些都在訓練手冊中有詳細說明，例如馬爾博羅公爵的《火鎖與刺刀新演習》。

The cartridges for the weapon were kept in the box of the Marine's waist.

武器的彈藥包放在海軍陸戰隊員的腰間彈藥盒裡。

He would prime his weapon, then he would take a cartridge.

他會先準備好武器，然後拿出彈藥包。

Then he would bite off the top of it, pour the powder, the bullet and the cartridge down the barrel.

接著他會咬開彈藥包頂部，將火藥、子彈和彈藥包一起倒入槍管。

This is all rammed home using the ramrod or scouring stick.

這一切都會用通槍桿或清潔棒壓實。

At this point, the weapon is ready to fire, presents his piece, and

此時，武器已準備好發射，他會舉起槍，

It's a bit of a myth that muskets were not very accurate.

In the hands of a trained man, they could be deadly.

在訓練有素的人手中，它們可是致命的。

Remember in later times, Admiral Nelson was shot by a French sniper who was high up in the mast of a warship.

記住，後來納爾遜海軍上將就是被一名法軍狙擊手在高處的戰艦桅杆上擊中的。

He had to pick his target through the smoke of battle, through the sails and rigging.

他必須在戰鬥的煙霧中，穿過帆和索具來挑選目標。

Shooting from a moving ship at one man on the deck of another moving ship shot him dead, too.

在一艘移動的船上，射殺另一艘移動船甲板上的一個人，也將他擊斃了。

If the enemy are looking like they are going to get close, the Marine will be instructed to fix bayonet.

如果敵人看起來要靠近了，海軍陸戰隊員就會被訓示裝上刺刀。

He then attaches his socket bayonet to the muzzle of his weapon.

接著他將他的插槽式刺刀裝到槍口上。

This new style of bayonet means that unlike the earlier plug bayonet, he can still load and fire his gun with it fixed in place.

這種新型的刺刀，不像早期的插塞式刺刀，裝上後他仍然可以裝彈和射擊。

Now we have an armed pirate and an armed Marine.

現在我們有一名武裝海盜和一名武裝海軍陸戰隊員。

I wonder what will happen if we put them face to face.

我想知道如果我們讓他們面對面會發生什麼事。

Our Marine came out on top, which I should think might be a surprise to some of you.

我們的海軍陸戰隊員贏了，我想這可能會讓你們有些人感到驚訝。

Pirates often would put up a pretty good fight, but

whenever they came into contact with the Royal Navy and the Marines of King George, they usually came off worst.

Right then, if you think you've got what it takes to become a pirate, or you want to take the King shilling and join the Marines, come and find us at different English Heritage Sites this summer, and

好了，如果你覺得你有本事當海盜，或者你想拿國王的銀幣加入海軍陸戰隊，今年夏天來英國各地的歷史遺址找我們，
