28 Mutiny and Freedom

CHAPTER 28 Mutiny and Freedom The rains stopped, just as they had done for many seasons. Friday and I started to prepare in earnest for our trip. We took good care with the harvest, and started organizing all of our supplies. The only thing left to do was make sure we had enough food. "Friday?" I asked. "Would you mind hiking down to the summer house and gathering up

第二十八章兵变与自由雨停了，就像过去许多季节一样。 星期五和我开始认真地为我们的旅行做准备。 我们精心照料收成，开始整理我们所有的物资。 剩下唯一要做的就是确保我们有足够的食物。 “星期五?”我问。“你不介意徒步去避暑别墅收拾一下吧。

some raisins for us?" "Not at all," he replied. "I'll go right now." An hour had barely passed when I heard him running up the path screaming, "Robinson! Robinson, come quickly. There's a boat out here! A boat!" I grabbed two guns on my way out the door and tossed one to Friday. We sped off to the lookout hill. We both hid quietly and watched as an English ship sailed toward the island. "What do you think they are doing?" Friday whispered. "I don't know," I replied. "But it can't be anything good. This isn't a regular trade route—I haven't seen an English ship in almost thirty years." The ship set down its anchor just off the beach. A group of rough, angry men dragged three prisoners off the boat and on to the shore. They had both their hands and feet

给我们一些葡萄干好吗？”“一点也不，”他回答。 “我现在就去。”刚过了一个小时，我就听到他沿着小路跑过来，尖叫着：“罗宾逊！鲁滨逊，快来。 外面有条船！一艘船!”我出门的时候拿了两把枪，把一把扔给了星期五。 我们向瞭望山疾驰而去。 我们俩都静静地躲起来，看着一艘英国船驶向小岛。 “你认为他们在做什么？”周五低声说。 “我不知道，”我回答。 “但不可能是什么好事。 这不是一条常规的贸易航线——我几乎有三十年没见过英国船了。” 船就在离海滩不远的地方抛锚了。 一群粗暴、愤怒的人把三个囚犯从船上拖到岸上。 他们的手和脚都有

bound. Then, the wicked men left these poor fellows in the hot sun with no food or water as they went off to explore the island. I motioned for Friday to follow me. We crept slowly down the path to the beach. When I was sure there was no one around, I snuck up to the men and asked them who they were and why they had come to the island. They were very confused at first and didn't answer me at all. I must have looked like quite a sight to them—a wild and crazy man appearing out of nowhere! "I won't hurt you," I said. "I'm here to help." I called for Friday to come out and he cut their binds with his knife. As they were being freed, one of the men explained, "I am the captain of this great ship. There was a mutiny on board. The crew decided to sail off course and that's how we landed here." "Come quickly," I said to them. "We need

绑定。然后，邪恶的人把这些可怜的家伙留在烈日下，没有食物和水，他们就去探索这个岛了。 我示意星期五跟我来。 我们慢慢地沿着小路往海滩走去。 当我确定周围没有人的时候，我偷偷地走到他们身边，问他们是谁，为什么来到这个岛上。 他们一开始很困惑，根本没有回答我。 在他们看来，我一定是个很显眼的人——一个不知从哪里冒出来的疯狂的野人！“我不会伤害你的，”我说。 “我是来帮忙的。”我叫星期五出来，他就用刀子割断了他们的绳子。 当他们被释放时，其中一个人解释说：“我是这艘大船的船长。 船上发生了叛变。 船员们决定偏离航线，我们就是这样降落在这里的。” 我对他们说：“快来。” “我们需要

to get you three out of here before they get back." "I'm Captain Walsh, by the way. These two men are my first-mates, Morgan and Pace." "I'm Robinson Crusoe, and this is Friday."

在他们回来之前把你们三个弄出去。” “顺便说一下，我是沃尔什上尉。 这两个人是我的大副，摩根和佩斯。” “我是鲁滨逊·克鲁索，今天是星期五。”
