Why were there tears in Robinson’s eyes?

Intensive Reading

When the strongest emotions were gone, Friday told me that the prisoner was his father. I felt tears in my eyes when I saw the son’s love for his father.

当最强烈的感情褪去之后，星期五告诉我这名俘虏是他的父亲。当我看到儿子对父亲的爱，我感觉眼眶湿润。

This happy incident delayed us and the cannibals were already gone.

这桩幸福的事耽误了我们，食人族已经走了。

Friday massaged his father’s hands and feet to bring more blood to them. Soon his father felt much better.

星期五给他的父亲按摩手脚，让更多血液流到那里。很快他的父亲感觉好多了。

When they talked, Friday suddenly jumped up and ran to the forest as fast as he could.

当他们说话时，星期五突然跳起来，以最快的速度跑去森林。

When he came back, he had a bottle full of fresh water. He gave the water to his father who was extremely thirsty. After he drank, I asked Friday to give the rest of the water to the Spanish. He needed water very much too.

他回来时带着满满一瓶淡水。他把水给了极度口渴的父亲。他喝过之后，我让星期五把剩下的水给那名西班牙人。他也非常需要水。

The Spanish thanked me a lot. He couldn’t walk. He was very weak. I asked Friday to massage his feet too. It helped him.

那名西班牙人非常感谢我。他不能走动。他很虚弱。我让星期五也给他按摩下脚。这帮助了他。

Then I asked the Spanish to go with Friday’s help to the canoe. We wanted to take them to our house. However, Friday was young and strong. He had a lot of power. He just took the Spanish on his back and carried him to the canoe. Then he carefully put him inside the canoe.

然后我让这名西班牙人在星期五的帮助下来到独木舟。我们想带他们去我们的房子。但是，星期五年轻力壮。他力气很大。他把西班牙人背在背上，驮着他来到了独木舟。然后他小心地把他放进独木舟里。
