《鲁滨逊漂流记》的故事很朴实，但却很打动人。

鲁滨逊因船沉了而流落到了无人的荒岛，度过了28年。

在进退无路的情况下，他想办法自救----做木筏、造房子、种粮食、养牲畜，后来居然还做出了面包。

他靠自己的双手，凭着自己的智慧，花了几十年的时间把这个荒岛变成了“世外桃源”，还勇敢地救了一个土著人“星期五”，和他共同生活。

在渴望漂泊的人心里，鲁滨逊就是远方就是向往。

而且，怎会有人不偶遇风浪，飘上几次人生中的荒岛呢,接下来的20天，我们跟鲁滨逊一起荒岛求生吧。

昨天我们读到主人公鲁滨逊的家庭背景，如何开始航海的，以及刚开始在海上的心里变化。

Chapter 2

AsIwaslookingwithwonderupontheseathatwassorough （艰难的） andterriblethedaybefore,mycompanion（同伴） ,whohadencouragedmetorunaway,cametome.

“Well,Bob,”saidhe,puttinghishandonmyshoulder,“Howdoyoufeel?

Iguessyouwerefrightened （受惊吓的） ,weren’tyou,evenofthatlittlewind?

“Alittlewind,youcallit?

“Astorm,youfool （傻瓜） ,”hereplied,“doyoucallthatastorm?

Itwasnothingatall.You’rejustafresh-watersailor （水手） ,Bob.Come,letushaveaglassortwoofbeer （啤酒） ,andwe’llforgetallthat.”

Bynoon,theseawentveryhighindeed,andwethoughtonceortwiceouranchor（锚） hadcomeloose （不牢固的，变松） .Thenourcaptain （船长） haduspullupthedown-windanchor （锚） ,sothatwerode（ride）骑withtwoup-windanchors （锚） ,andtheropesfullystretched （拉伸） .

船长收起了船尾的顺风锚「down-windanchor」,只留了两个船头的迎风的锚「up-windanchors」，然后锚索拉到了最大限度。

现在他们船大概就是酱紫：

船头迎着风

航海小知识：

为什么风大的时候要用船头的锚呢，因为船头的小小哒，风阻小呀，船被风吹得摇晃的程度也轻，这时候如果用船尾的锚，船尾风阻太大了，船会被吹得摇晃得很厉害呢！

而风小的时候，船尾的锚就可以让船停住啦！

ride在这里是指在水上漂着，不是乘、骑的意思哟。
