As for my Solitary Life it was nothing;I did not SO much as pray to be delivered from it,or think of it; It was all of no Consideration in Comparison to this:[qh]
至于我当前孤苦伶仃的生活，就根本算不了什么。我无意祈求上帝把我从这荒岛上拯救出去，我连想都没有这样想过。[qh]
And I add this Part here,to hint to whoever shall read it, that whenever they come to a true Sense of things,they will find Deliverance from Sin a much greater Blessing,than Deliverance from Affliction. [qh]
与灵魂获救相比，肉体的获救实在无足轻重。在这里，我说了这些话，目的是想让读者明白：一个人如果真的世事通明，就一定会认识到，真正的幸福不是被上帝从患难中拯救出来，而是从罪恶中拯救出来。[qh]
But leaving this Part,I return to my Journal. [qh]
现在，闲话少说，重回到日记上来吧。[qh]
My Condition began now to be,tho'not less miserable as my Way of living,yet much easier to my Mind;[qh]
我当前的境况是：虽然生活依然很艰苦，但精神却轻松多了。[qh]
and my Thoughts being directed,by a constant reading the Scripture,and praying to God,to things of a higher Nature: I add a great deal of Comfort within,which till now I knew nothing of; [qh]
由于读《圣经》和祈祷，思想变得高尚了，内心也有了更多的安慰，这种宽慰的心情我以前从未有过。[qh]
also, as my Health and Strength returned,I bestirred myself to furnish myself with everything that I anted, and make my Way of living as regular as I could. [qh]
同时，健康和体力也已恢复，我重又振作精神，安排工作，并恢复正常的生活。[qh]
From the 4th of July to the 24th,I was chiefly employed walking about with my Gun in my Hand, a little and a little,at a Time,as a Man that was gathering up his Strength after a Fit of Sickness: [qh]
从七月四日至十四日，我主要的活动是带枪外出，四处走走。像大病初愈的人那样，走走歇歇；[qh]
For it is hardly to be imagined,how low I was,and to what Weakness I was reduced. [qh]
随着体力逐渐恢复，再逐步扩大活动范围。当时，我精神萎靡，体力虚弱，一般人实难想像。[qh]
The Application which I made Use of was perfectly new,and perhaps what had never cured an Ague before, neither can recommend it to anyone to practise,by this Experiment; [qh]
我治病的方法，可以说是史无前例的；也许，这种方法以前从未治愈过疟疾。可我也不能把这个方法介绍给别人。[qh]
and tho'it did carry off the Fit,yet it rather contributed to weakening me; [qh]
用这个方法疟疾是治好了，但使我身体虚弱不堪。[qh]
for I had frequent Convulsions in my Nerves and Limbs for some Time. [qh]
此后好长一段时间，我的神经和四肢还经常抽搐。[qh]
I learned from it also this in particular,that being abroad the rainy Season was the most pernicious thing to my Health that could be, especially in those Rains which came ended with Storms and Hurricanes of Wind;[qh]
这场大病给了我一个教训：雨季外出对健康危害最甚，尤其是飓风和暴风带来的雨危害更大。[qh]
for as the in which came in the dry Season was always most accompanyed with such Storms, so I found that Rain was much more dangerous than the Rain which fell in September and October. [qh]
而在旱季，要么不下雨，一下雨又总是刮暴风。所以，旱季的暴风雨比九、十月间的雨危害更大。[qh]
