A peddler peddled pelicans, pellets and peltry.

一个小贩叫卖鹈鹕、小球和皮货。

The travel-stained adventurers gazed after her in astonishment, and even the unemotional Indians, journeying in with their peltries, relaxed their accustomed stoicism as they marvelled at the beauty of the pale-faced maiden.

那些风尘仆仆的淘金冒险家，一个个惊奇地瞧着她，就连那些运输皮革的冷漠的印第安人，瞧见了这个美丽无比的白皙的少女，也感到十分惊愕，不禁松弛了他们一向呆板的面孔。

This was probably the case among the hunting nations of North America, before their country was discovered by the Europeans, with whom they now exchange their surplus peltry, for blankets, fire-arms, and brandy, which gives it some value.

这可能是北美狩猎民族的情况，在他们的国家被欧洲人发现之前，他们现在与欧洲人交换多余的毛皮，以换取毯子、火器和白兰地，这赋予了它一些价值。
