8 Escape at last

Chapter 8 Escape at last? Only a week later, Crusoe saw a ship moored close to the island... an English ship! He could hardly believe it, another ship after so long.

第八章终于逃脱了？仅仅一周后，克鲁索看到一艘船停泊在离小岛很近的地方。 一艘英国船！他简直不敢相信，过了这么久又来了一艘船。

Feeling excited, he fetched his telescope. A small boat was coming ashore, full of sailors. But three of them had their hands tied. The sailors took their prisoners to a tree and tied them up. Then they wandered off along the beach.

他感到很兴奋，拿了望远镜。 一艘小船靠岸，船上载满了水手。 但其中三个人的手被绑住了。 水手们把俘虏们带到一棵树上绑起来。 然后他们沿着海滩溜达。

Friday and Crusoe went down to the beach to see what was going on. Hello there! Can we help you? The prisoners stared at Crusoe. Then one of them spoke. "I'm the captain of that ship," he said. "My sailors mutinied." Some of them rowed us here to abandon us.

星期五和克鲁索去海滩看看发生了什么事。 你好!我们能帮你吗？ 囚犯们盯着克鲁索。 然后他们中的一个说话了。“我是那艘船的船长，”他说。 “我的水手叛变了。”有些人把我们划到这里是为了抛弃我们。

"That's terrible!" said Crusoe. Then he smiled. He'd had an idea. "Well, we'll help you to escape... he began, "...if you promise to take us to England." The captain nodded. "Of course," he agreed eagerly.

“太可怕了！”克鲁索说。 然后他笑了。他有了一个主意。 “好吧，我们会帮你逃跑的…… 他开始说：“……只要你答应带我们去英国。” 船长点点头。“当然，”他急切地同意。

When the sailors came back from exploring the island, they had a shock. Crusoe, Friday and the prisoners jumped out from behind some bushes and seized them. They stood no chance. "We'll spare your lives if you help us," said Crusoe. The sailors agreed. They didn't have much choice.

当水手们从岛上探险回来时，他们大吃一惊。 克鲁索、星期五和囚犯们从灌木丛后面跳出来抓住了他们。 他们没有机会。“如果你们帮助我们，我们就饶你们的命，”克鲁索说。 水手们同意了。他们没有太多选择。

Later that night, the captain rowed out to the ship with the few men he could trust. They crept aboard very quietly... and opened fire. Aagh! Stop! We'll hand the ship back. The rebels were taken by surprise. "Stop! We surrender!" they cried.

那天晚上晚些时候，船长带着他能信任的几个人向船划去。 他们悄悄地爬上了船…… 然后开火。Aagh !停!我们会把船还回去的。 叛军被打了个措手不及。 “停!我们投降！”
