1、Robinson CrusoePrevious Story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。Chapter1I was born in the year 1632, in the city o

He did not want to bring troubles upon me by giving me any encouragement to go away.He told me I had my elder brother for an example, whose young desires向往渴望 had led him to go into the army, where he was killed. He went so far as to say to me that if I did take this foolish(愚蠢

I saw the tear

14、speak to my father about it. She wondered how I could think of any such thing after the conversation I had had with my father.In short简言之, if I would ruin(毁灭)myself, there was no help for me. She for her part would take no part in my destruction(n毁灭).It was not until almost a year after this that I

15、broke loose(自由的).挣脱 摆脱I happened to be in Hull船体 when one of my companions(伙伴们), who was about to sail(启航)to London in his fathers ship, invited me to go with them.I did not ask my father or mother, or even tell them of it, but left them to hear of it as they might.On the 1st of September, 1651, I b

16、oarded a ship bound(前往.的)势必是将for London.Never has any young adventurer(冒险家)s bad luck, I believe, begun sooner or continued longer than mine.The ship was no sooner一旦，立即 out of the harbor(海港), than the wind began to blow, and the sea to rise in a most frightful(可怕的)manner.方式 态度As I had never been at

17、sea before, I was unspeakably(不可言喻地)sick in body, and terrified(非常害怕的)in mind. I began now seriously to reflect(反思)upon what I had done.All the good advice of my parents, my fathers tears(眼泪)and my mothers pleas(恳求), came now fresh into my mind. My conscience(良心)criticized(批评)me for ignoring(忽视)thei

18、r advice, and for failing in my duty to God and my father.All this while the storm increased, and the sea went very high. Though it was nothing like what I have seen many times since, nor what I saw a few days after, it was enough to affect(影响)me then.I expected every wave(波浪)would swallow(吞没)us up,

19、 and every time the ship went down into a hollow(凹陷处)between waves(波浪), I thought we would never rise again.In this distress(苦难), I made many promises that if God would spare节约 my life, I would go directly home to my father, and never set foot on a ship again.Now I saw plainly(明显地)how right my fathe

He had lived comfortably all his life, and never had been exposed(使暴露于)to storms at sea or troubles on shore(海滩).These wise thoughts continued while the storm lasted, but the next day the wind and the sea were calmer,更平静 and I began to get used to them.Towards nig

21、ht the weather cleared up, and a lovely fine evening followed. The sun went down perfectly完美的 clear, and rose the same the next morning.The sight of a smooth sea, with the sun shining upon it, was the most delightful(令人愉快的)sight that ever I saw.Previous Story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。C

22、hapter2As I was looking with wonder upon the sea that was so rough(艰难的)and terrible the day before, my companion(同伴), who had encouraged me to run away, came to me.“Well, Bob,” said he, putting his hand on my shoulder, “How do you feel? I guess you were frightened(受惊吓的), werent you, even of that lit

23、tle wind?”“A little wind, you call it?” said I, “It was a terrible storm.”“A storm, you fool(傻瓜),” he replied, “do you call that a storm? It was nothing at all. Youre just a fresh-water sailor(水手), Bob. Come, let us have a glass or two of beer(啤酒), and well forget all that.”To make short this sad pa

24、rt of my story, we went the way of all sailors(水手)the beer(啤酒)was poured(倒), and I got half drunk with it.In that one nights bad behavior(行为)I drowned(淹没)all my guilt(内疚), all my reflections(反省)upon my past conduct(行为), and all my promises for the future.But I was to have another trial(磨练)still, and

25、 the next was to be much worse.The sixth day of our being at sea, we came into Yarmouth Roads.The wind had been blowing against us, and we had not gone far since the storm, and so here we were forced to anchor(停泊)the ship.The wind blew very hard for several days.However, the Roads were thought to be

26、 as good as a harbor(海港), and our ropes and sails(船帆)were very strong. Our men were not worried, and spent the time in rest and laughter, as sailors(水手)like to do.But on the eighth day the wind increased, and we all had to work to make everything tight(紧的)and close, that the ship might ride as easy

27、as possible.By noon, the sea went very high indeed, and we thought once or twice our anchor(锚)had come loose(不牢固的，变松). Then our captain(船长)had us pull up the down-wind anchor(锚), so that we rode（ride）骑 with two up-wind anchors(锚), and the ropes fully stretched(拉伸).船长收起了船尾的顺风锚down-wind anchor, 只留了两个船

28、头的迎风的锚up-wind anchors，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。It was a terrible storm indeed, and now I began to see terror(恐惧)and amazement in the faces even of the seamen themselves

29、.The captain(船长)passed me as he went in and out of his room, and I could hear him say softly to himself several times, “Lord, be merciful(仁慈的)to us! We shall be all lost!”I was overwhelmed(不知所措的，被淹没，招架不住), and lay still in my room. I thought the danger of death was over, but when the captain(船长)hims

30、elf came by me, and said we should be all lost, I was terribly frightened(受惊的).I got up out of my room and looked out, but such a horrible(恐怖的)sight I never saw before.The sea ran mountains high高如山，汹涌澎湃, and broke upon us every three or four minutes. Two ships that rode near us had cut their masts(桅

31、杆)at their base, and our men cried out that a ship about a mile ahead of us was sinking(下沉).Towards the evening, the crew(全体船员)begged(请求)the captain(船长)of our ship to let them cut away the ships mast(桅杆), which he was very unwilling to do.不愿意But the crew(全体船员)cried to him that if he did not the ship

32、 would sink(下沉), and so he agreed to cut down the mast(桅杆).You can guess my reaction to 对。的反应all this, as I was just a young sailor(水手), who had been frightened(受到惊吓的)before at just a little storm.But the worst had not come yet. The storm continued so strongly that the seamen themselves said they had never seen w
