To make short this sad part of my story, we went the way of all sailors; the punch was made and I was made half drunk with it: and in that one night’s wickedness I drowned all my repentance, all my reflections upon my past conduct, all my resolutions for the future.
Para abreviar esta penosa parte de mi relato, diré que hicimos lo que habitualmente hacen los marineros. Preparamos el ponche y me emborraché y, en esa noche de borrachera, ahogué todo mi remordimiento, mis reflexiones sobre mi conducta pasada y mis resoluciones para el futuro.
