5 Visitors

Chapter 5 Visitors But then everything changed. One day, Crusoe was wandering along the beach when he saw a footprint. He stared at it for a moment, his heart thumping, then ran home.

但后来一切都变了。 一天，克鲁索在海滩上漫步时，看到了一个脚印。 他盯着它看了一会儿，心怦怦直跳，然后跑回家。

Crusoe was so scared, he hid for a week. Finally, he shook himself. "This is silly!" he thought. "It's probably my own footprint!" So, he went back and measured his foot against the print. But the footprint was larger. It definitely belonged to someone else.

克鲁索非常害怕，他躲了一个星期。 最后，他摇了摇自己。 “这太愚蠢了！”他想。 “这可能是我自己的脚印！”于是，他回去把自己的脚和指纹对比了一下。 但足迹更大。 肯定是别人的。

The footprint made Crusoe very nervous. But days, weeks, months passed and no one came... until the afternoon he was out hunting, when he made a grim discovery. On the beach were the remains of a fire and human bones. Crusoe felt sick. Something terrible had happened here.

这个脚印使克鲁索非常紧张。 但是几天、几周、几个月过去了，没有人来…… 直到下午他外出打猎时，他发现了一件可怕的事。 海滩上有一堆火的残骸和人的骨头。 克鲁索感到恶心。这里发生了可怕的事情。

He didn't feel happy on the island anymore. Every day, he watched the sea anxiously. Maybe the visitor would come back. For several months, he waited. Again, nothing happened. Then, early one morning, he spotted a fire on the beach. What's going on down there?

他在岛上不再感到快乐了。 每天，他都焦虑地注视着大海。 也许来访者还会回来。 他等了好几个月。 同样，什么也没发生。然后，一天清晨，他发现海滩上有火。 下面发生什么事了？

He crept closer to watch. From his hiding place, he saw a group of people dancing around a fire and feasting. Watching them, Crusoe felt uneasy. When their party came to an end, the people jumped into their canoes and paddled away.

他蹑手蹑脚地走近观看。从他的藏身之处，他看到一群人围着一堆火跳舞，正在大吃大喝。 看着他们，克鲁索感到不安。 当他们的聚会结束时，人们跳进独木舟，划走了。

Now, Crusoe was very worried. He had the feeling they wouldn't like him to be on the island. "They may find me someday," he said to himself. "I'd better be ready." So he strengthened the fence around his home and fixed guns into it. Then he planted trees around the fence to hide that. He wasn't taking any chances.

现在，克鲁索非常担心。 他有一种感觉，他们不希望他在岛上。 “他们总有一天会找到我的，”他自言自语道。 “我最好准备好。”所以他加固了房子周围的栅栏，并在里面装上了枪。 然后他在篱笆周围种了树来掩盖。 他没有冒任何风险。
