6 The captive

Chapter 6 The captive Another two years went by, with no sign of the visitors. Then, one summer's day, Crusoe spotted five canoes, packed with people and nearing the beach. He crept closer.

又过了两年,客人们不见踪影。 然后,一个夏天,克鲁索发现了五艘独木舟,挤满了人,正在靠近海滩。 他爬得更近了。

The men landed, built a huge fire and began to roast chunks of meat on it. They had two captives with them. As Crusoe watched, the men hit one of the captives over the head.

这些人上岸,生了一堆大火,开始在上面烤大块的肉。 他们带着两个俘虏。 在克鲁索的注视下,这些人打了其中一个俘虏的头。

Suddenly, the other captive broke away from the group and started to run. Two of the men chased after him. Crusoe gasped. Must escape! The men would kill him. "That captive could be my friend!" Crusoe thought. "I'll try to help."

突然,另一个俘虏从人群中挣脱出来,开始逃跑。 其中两个人追赶他。 鲁滨逊气喘吁吁地说。一定要逃跑!那些人会杀了他。 “那个俘虏可能是我的朋友!”克鲁索的想法。 “我会尽力帮忙的。”

He followed the men until the main group was out of sight. Then he jumped out and hit one of the pair with his gun. The other man raised his bow, but Crusoe was too quick for him. He fired his gun and the man fell.

他跟着那群人,直到看不见那群人为止。 然后他跳出来,用枪打了其中一个。 另一个人举起了弓,但克鲁索跑得太快了。 他开了枪,那人倒下了。

The captive stopped running, and stared. Crusoe smiled to show he was friendly and beckoned to him. The man smiled back. He followed Crusoe home and they had a large meal. After that, the man gave a huge yawn. Soon, he was fast asleep.

俘虏停止了奔跑,凝视着。 克鲁索微笑着表示他很友好,并向他招手。 那人也笑了。他跟着克鲁索回家,他们吃了一顿大餐。 说完,那人打了一个大大的哈欠。 很快,他就睡着了。

The next day, Crusoe tried talking with his new friend. It was difficult, because he didn't speak English. Crusoe started by giving the man an English name. "I'll call you Friday," he said, "after the day we met." You- Friday. Friday! Fr...Fri..day.

第二天,克鲁索试着和他的新朋友说话。 这很难,因为他不会说英语。 克鲁索首先给这个人取了一个英文名字。 “我星期五给你打电话,”他说,“在我们见面那天之后。” 你,星期五。星期五!Fr…星期五. .一天。
