Columbus made four voyages to the west between 1492 and 1504 in his vain(徒劳的) search for a sea route to Asia. The mystery of why he failed to find it filled him with sadness.
Wherever he went to Cuba(古巴), Puerto Rico(波多黎各), Jamaica(牙买加), South America, Panama(巴拿马), down the coast of Central America—it was always the same story. Instead of golden palaces, there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents. Instead of silk-robed merchant princes, he found “Indians” who did not have so much as a shirt on their backs.
When Columbus explored the West Indies in 1493, he heard tales of a fierce Indian tribe(凶狠的印第安部落) who literally devoured(吞食) its defeated enemies after a battle. These people were called by many names in the area, including Calina, Canima, Carib, and Caniba. Columbus recorded the name of the American natives as Canibales in Spanish, a word which came to refer, within a few years, to any eater of human flesh(食人部落, 食人族). In the similar fashion, the word Caribbean, a title for the sea as well as for the region, came into English.
At times Columbus knew that this new land was not China, not Japan, not the Spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers of Europe had never heard of before. It was another world—and he called it exactly that—but Columbus also insisted until he died that land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.
