I am on a hot August afternoon, sitting in a Starbucks that two years ago opened a block away from the Theresa, snatching at memories between sips of high-priced coffee.
Even high-priced commodities like spices had to be transported in large bulk in order to justify the expense and trouble of sailing around the African continent all the way to India and China.
即使像香料这样的高价商品，也必须大量运输，以证明环绕非洲大陆航行到印度和中国的费用和不便是合理的。
