vingt-et-un
1. He was a capital hand at speculation and vingt-et-un, and all the merry round games, which kept the little circle round the cabin-lamp so deep in innocent amusement, that a hurricane might have howled overhead without their hearing it; but he freely owned that he had no talet for whist, and that he didn't know a knight from a castle upon the chess-board.
他在猜牌、打二十一点,以及一切热闹欢乐的游戏里都是个好手,游戏使这围着房舱灯火的一圈人埋头于天真的娱乐之中,飓风可能在他们的头上呼啸而过,他们却充耳不闻;但他痛快地承认自己对于玩惠斯特牌毫无天才,而在国际象棋的棋盘上,他连马和车也分不清楚。
