It was just after the Jap air raiding, and things were pretty grim.

日本空袭刚刚结束，形势严峻。

I saw through the periscope a Jap destroyer escort, a tanker, and a minelayer.

我通过潜望镜了日本驱逐舰护航舰、油轮和雷舰。

For fifteen hours, that Jap minelayer kept dropping depth charges.

十五个小时以来，那个日本雷艇在投下深水炸弹。

Through a green gate I saw a Jap gardener at work weeding a huge lawn.

透过扇绿色的大门， 我个日本园丁正在为大片草坪除草。

Apparently the Jap minelayer had exhausted its supply of depth charges, and steamed away.

显然，日本雷舰已经耗尽了它的深水炸弹供应， 然后离开了。

He was pulling a piece of weed out of the vast velvet expanse and sneering at it the way Jap gardeners do.

他从广阔的天鹅绒中拔出根杂草， 像日本园丁那样嘲笑它。

And he answered, unlocking his door: " Because I traveled with him from Shanghai to Honolulu in a Jap liner last November" .

他打开门回答说：“因为去年 11 月我和他起乘坐日本班轮从上海火奴鲁鲁” 。

(A Jap plane had spotted us under sixty feet of water and had radioed our position to the Jap minelayer.) We went down to 150 feet, to avoid detection, and rigged for a depth charge.

（架日本飞机在 60 英尺深的水下发现了我们， 并通过无线电将我们的位置报告给了日本雷舰。）我们下降 150 英尺， 以避免被发现， 并安装了深水炸弹。
