4 Stuck forever

Chapter 4 Stuck forever? One morning, Crusoe walked to a different part of the island. Looking out to sea he saw land, far away. Suddenly, he felt very alone.

第4章永远被困？一天早晨，克鲁索走到岛上的另一个地方。 望向大海，他看到了遥远的陆地。 突然，他感到非常孤单。

"I'll escape!" he decided. "I'll make myself a boat and escape." So he cut down a big tree and chopped off all the branches. Then he began to hollow out the trunk. After weeks of hard work, the boat was finished. Crusoe looked at it thoughtfully. It was huge.

“我要逃走！”他下定决心。 “我要自己造一条船逃走。” 于是他砍倒了一棵大树，砍掉了所有的树枝。 然后他开始掏空树干。 经过几个星期的艰苦工作，这艘船完工了。 克鲁索若有所思地看着它。 它是巨大的。

When he tried to push the heavy boat down to the sea, it wouldn't budge. He shoved... and he heaved... It was no good. "I'll have to dig a canal from the boat," he realized. "Then I can float it to the water." But that didn't work either. It was too much for one man to do. "I'm stuck," thought Crusoe sadly.

当他试图把那只沉重的船推到海里时，它却纹丝不动。 他把…他喘了口气…… 这一点也不好。“我得从船上挖一条运河，”他意识到。 “然后我可以把它浮到水面上。” 但这也不管用。 这对一个人来说太难了。 “我被困住了，”克鲁索悲伤地想。

He sighed. He'd been on the island for four long years and his clothes were in rags. "If I'm going to stay, I'd better make myself some new clothes," he said. Taking pieces of goatskin, he sewed himself a new pair of breeches, a jacket and a hat.

他叹了口气。他在岛上待了漫长的四年，衣服破烂不堪。 “如果我要留下来，我最好给自己做些新衣服，”他说。 他用几块山羊皮给自己缝了一条新裤子、一件夹克和一顶帽子。

Proudly, he tried them on. His new clothes probably looked odd, but Crusoe was delighted. To complete his new outfit, he made an umbrella out of sticks and covered it with goatskin. Now, he stayed dry when it rained. The umbrella protected him from the fierce sun as well.

他自豪地试穿了一下。 他的新衣服可能看起来很奇怪，但克鲁索很高兴。 为了完成他的新服装，他用树枝做了一把伞，并在上面盖了山羊皮。 现在，下雨的时候他就不沾水了。 这把伞也保护他不受烈日的伤害。

"I think I'll build another home," Crusoe decided. "A lovely summer house in the valley where the orange trees grow." So he built a tent in the valley and planted trees around it. It was a perfect place to relax in the hot summer months.

“我想我要再建一个家，”克鲁索决定。 “一个可爱的避暑别墅，在长着橘子树的山谷里。” 于是他在山谷里搭了一个帐棚，四周种上树木。 在炎热的夏季，这是一个放松身心的好地方。
