I now began to consider that I might yet get a great many things out of the ship which would be useful to me,[qh]
这时我想到，船上还有许多有用的东西，[qh]
and particularly some of the rigging and sails, and such other things as might come to land;[qh]
尤其是那些绳索，帆布以及许多其他东西都可以搬上岸来。[qh]
and I resolved to make another voyage on board the vessel, if possible.[qh]
我决定只要可能，就再上船去一次。[qh]
And as I knew that the first storm that blew must necessarily break her all in pieces,[qh]
我知道，要是再刮大风暴，船就会彻底毁了。[qh]
I resolved to set all other things apart till I had got everything out of the ship that I could get.[qh]
因此，我决定别的事以后再说，先把船上能搬下来的东西通通搬下来。[qh]
Then I called a council - that is to say in my thoughts - whether I should take back the raft;[qh]
这么一想，我就琢磨再次上船的办法。[qh]
but this appeared impracticable: so I resolved to go as before, when the tide was down;[qh]
看来，再把大木排撑回去是不可能了。[qh]
and I did so, only that I stripped before I went from my hut,[qh]
所以，我只好等潮水退后，像上次那样泅水过去。决心一下，我就立即付诸实施。[qh]
having nothing on but my chequered shirt, a pair of linen drawers, and a pair of pumps on my feet.[qh]
不过，在我走出木屋之前，先脱掉衣服，只穿一件衬衫、一条短裤和一双薄底鞋。[qh]
I got on board the ship as before, and prepared a second raft;[qh]
我像前次那样上了船，并又做了一个木排。[qh]
and, having had experience of the first,[qh]
有了上次的经验，[qh]
I neither made this so unwieldy, nor loaded it so hard, but yet I brought away several things very useful to me;[qh]
我不再把木排做得像第一个那么笨重了，也不再装那么多货物了，但还是运回了许多有用的东西。[qh]
as first, in the carpenters stores I found two or three bags full of nails and spikes, a great screw- jack, a dozen or two of hatchets,[qh]
首先，我在木匠舱房里找到了三袋钉子和螺丝钉，一把大钳子，二十来把小斧，[qh]
and, above all, that most useful thing called a grindstone.[qh]
尤其有用的是一个磨刀砂轮。[qh]
All these I secured, together with several things belonging to the gunner,[qh]
我把这些东西都安放在一起，再拿了一些炮手用的物品，[qh]
particularly two or three iron crows, and two barrels of musket bullets, seven muskets, another fowling-piece,[qh]
特别是两三只起货用的铁钩，两桶枪弹，七支短枪、一支鸟枪，[qh]
with some small quantity of powder more;[qh]
还有一小堆火药，[qh]
a large bagful of small shot, and a great roll of sheet-lead; but this last was so heavy, I could not hoist it up to get it over the ships side.[qh]
一大袋小子弹，还有一大卷铅皮。可铅皮太重，我无法把它从船上吊到木排上。[qh]
