After I had solaced my mind with the comfortable part of my condition,[qh]
我自我安慰了一番，庆幸自己死而复生。[qh]
I began to look round me, to see what kind of place I was in, and what was next to be done;[qh]
然后，我开始环顾四周，看看我究竟到了什么地方，想想下一步该怎么办。[qh]
and I soon found my comforts abate, and that, in a word, I had a dreadful deliverance;[qh]
但不看则已，这一看使我的情绪立即低落下来。我虽获救，却又陷入了另一种绝境。[qh]
for I was wet, had no clothes to shift me, nor anything either to eat or drink to comfort me;[qh]
我浑身湿透，却没有衣服可更换；我又饥又渴，却没有任何东西可充饥解渴。[qh]
neither did I see any prospect before me but that of perishing with hunger or being devoured by wild beasts; and that which was particularly afflicting to me was, that I had no weapon, either to hunt and kill any creature for my sustenance,[qh]
我看不到有任何出路，除了饿死，就是给野兽吃掉。[qh]
or to defend myself against any other creature that might desire to kill me for theirs. In a word, I had nothing about me but a knife, a tobacco-pipe, and a little tobacco in a box.[qh]
我身上除了一把小刀、一个烟斗和一小匣烟叶，别无他物。[qh]
This was all my provisions;[qh]
这使我忧心如焚，[qh]
and this threw me into such terrible agonies of mind, that for a while I ran about like a madman.[qh]
有好一阵子，我在岸上狂乱地跑来跑去，像疯子一样。[qh]
Night coming upon me,[qh]
夜色降临，[qh]
I began with a heavy heart to consider what would be my lot if there were any ravenous beasts in that country,[qh]
我想到野兽多半在夜间出来觅食，更是愁思满腔。[qh]
as at night they always come abroad for their prey.[qh]
我想，若这儿真有猛兽出没，我的命运将会如何呢？[qh]
All the remedy that offered to my thoughts at that time was to get up into a thick bushy tree like a fir, but thorny,[qh]
在我附近有一棵枝叶茂密的大树，看上去有点像纵树，但有刺。[qh]
which grew near me, and where I resolved to sit all night, and consider the next day what death I should die, for as yet I saw no prospect of life.[qh]
我想出的唯一办法是：爬上去坐一整夜再说，第二天再考虑死的问题吧，因为我看不出有任何生路可言。[qh]
I walked about a furlong from the shore, to see if I could find any fresh water to drink,[qh]
我从海岸向里走了几十米，想找些淡水喝，[qh]
which I did, to my great joy; and having drank, and put a little tobacco into my mouth to prevent hunger,[qh]
居然给我找到了，真使我大喜过望。喝完水，又取了点烟叶放到嘴里充饥，[qh]
I went to the tree, and getting up into it, endeavoured to place myself so that if I should sleep I might not fall.[qh]
然后爬上树，尽可能躺得稳当些，以免睡熟后从树上跌下来。[qh]
And having cut me a short stick, like a truncheon, for my defence,[qh]
我事先还从树上砍了一根树枝，做了一根短棍防身。[qh]
I took up my lodging; and having been excessively fatigued,[qh]
由于疲劳之极，[qh]
I fell fast asleep, and slept as comfortably as,[qh]
我立即睡着了，真是睡得又熟又香。[qh]
I believe, few could have done in my condition, and found myself more refreshed with it than, I think, I ever was on such an occasion.[qh]
我想，任何人，处在我现在的环境下，决不会睡得像我这么香的。[qh]
