when all the rest were destroyed;or an Enquiry why Providence had been thus merciful to me;[qh]

even just the same common Sort of Joy which Seamen generally have after they are got safe ashore from a Shipwreck,[qh]

and all the rest of my life was like it.[qh]
我一生就过着这样的生活。[qh]
Even when I was afterwards,on due consideration,[qh]

made sensible of my condition,how I was cast on this dreadful place,out of the reach of human kind,out of all hope of relief,[qh]
知道自己流落到这个可怕的荒岛上，远离人烟，毫无获救的希望。[qh]
or prospect of redemption,as soon as I saw but a prospect of living and that I should not starve and perish for hunger,[qh]
尽管自己知道身陷绝境，但一旦我发现还能活下去，不致饿死，[qh]
all the sense of my affliction wore off;[qh]
我的一切苦恼也随之烟消云散了。[qh]
and I began to be very easy,applied myself to the works proper for my preservation and supply,[qh]

these were thoughts which very seldom entered my head.[qh]
说实话，这种思想很少进入我的头脑里。[qh]
