　　《魯濱孫漂流記》經(jīng)典英文段落1

　　THAT evil influence which carried me first away from my father"s house - which hurried me into the wild and indigested notion of raising my fortune, and that impressed those conceits so forcibly upon me as to make me deaf to all good advice, and to the entreaties and even the commands of my father - I say, the same influence, whatever it was, presented the most unfortunate of all enterprises to my view; and I went on board a vessel bound to the coast of Africa; or, as our sailors vulgarly called it, a voyage to Guinea.

　　It was my great misfortune that in all these adventures I did not ship myself as a sailor; when, though I might indeed have worked a little harder than ordinary, yet at the same time I should have learnt the duty and office of a fore-mast man, and in time might have qualified myself for a mate or lieutenant, if not for a master. But as it was always my fate to choose for the worse, so I did here; for having money in my pocket and good clothes upon my back, I would always go on board in the habit of a gentleman; and so I neither had any business in the ship, nor learned to do any.

　　It was my lot first of all to fall into pretty good company in London, which does not always happen to such loose and misguided young fellows as I then was; the devil generally not omitting to lay some snare for them very early; but it was not so with me. I first got acquainted with the master of a ship who had been on the coast of Guinea; and who, having had very good success there, was resolved to go again. This captain taking a fancy to my conversation, which was not at all disagreeable at that time, hearing me say I had a mind to see the world, told me if I would go the voyage with him I should be at no expense; I should be his messmate and his companion; and if I could carry anything with me, I should have all the advantage of it that the trade would admit; and perhaps I might meet with some encouragement.

　　I embraced the offer; and entering into a strict friendship with this captain, who was an honest, plain-dealing man, I went the voyage with him, and carried a small adventure with me, which, by the disinterested honesty of my friend the captain, I increased very considerably; for I carried about 40 pounds in such toys and trifles as the captain directed me to buy. These 40 pounds I had mustered together by the assistance of some of my relations whom I corresponded with; and who, I believe, got my father, or at least my mother, to contribute so much as that to my first adventure.

　　This was the only voyage which I may say was successful in all my adventures, which I owe to the integrity and honesty of my friend the captain; under whom also I got a competent knowledge of the mathematics and the rules of navigation, learned how to keep an account of the ship"s course, take an observation, and, in short, to understand some things that were needful to be understood by a sailor; for, as he took delight to instruct me, I took delight to learn; and, in a word, this voyage made me both a sailor and a merchant; for I brought home five pounds nine ounces of gold-dust for my adventure, which yielded me in London, at my return, almost 300 pounds; and this filled me with those aspiring thoughts which have since so completed my ruin.

　　It happened one time, that going a-fishing in a calm morning, a fog rose so thick that, though we were not half a league from the shore, we lost sight of it; and rowing we knew not whither or which way, we laboured all day, and all the next night; and when the morning came we found we had pulled off to sea instead of pulling in for the shore; and that we were at least two leagues from the shore. However, we got well in again, though with a great deal of labour and some danger; for the wind began to blow pretty fresh in the morning; but we were all very hungry.

　　But our patron, warned by this disaster, resolved to take more care of himself for the future; and having lying by him the longboat of our English ship that he had taken, he resolved he would not go afishing any more without a compass and some provision; so he ordered the carpenter of his ship, who also was an English slave, to build a little state-room, or cabin, in the middle of the longboat, like that of a barge, with a place to stand behind it to steer, and haul home the main-sheet; the room before for a hand or two to stand and work the sails. She sailed with what we call a shoulder-of-mutton sail; and the boom jibed over the top of the cabin, which lay very snug and low, and had in it room for him to lie, with a slave or two, and a table to eat on, with some small lockers to put in some bottles of such liquor as he thought fit to drink; and his bread, rice, and coffee.

　　We went frequently out with this boat a-fishing; and as I was most dexterous to catch fish for him, he never went without me. It happened that he had appointed to go out in this boat, either for pleasure or for fish, with two or three Moors of some distinction in that place, and for whom he had provided extraordinarily, and had, therefore, sent on board the boat overnight a larger store of provisions than ordinary; and had ordered me to get ready three fusees with powder and shot, which were on board his ship, for that they designed some sport of fowling as well as fishing.

　　THAT evil influence which carried me first away from my father"s house - which hurried me into the wild and indigested notion of raising my fortune, and that impressed those conceits so forcibly upon me as to make me deaf to all good advice, and to the entreaties and even the commands of my father - I say, the same influence, whatever it was, presented the most unfortunate of all enterprises to my view; and I went on board a vessel bound to the coast of Africa; or, as our sailors vulgarly called it, a voyage to Guinea.

　　不久之前，那種邪惡的力量驅(qū)使我離家出走。我年幼無知，想入非非，妄想發(fā)財(cái)。這種念頭，根深蒂固，竟使我對一切忠告充耳不聞，對父親的懇求和嚴(yán)命置若罔聞。我是說，現(xiàn)在，又正是這同一種邪惡的力量--不管這是一種什么力量，使我開始了一種最不幸的冒險(xiǎn)事業(yè)。我踏上了一艘駛往非洲海岸的船;用水手們的俗話說，到幾內(nèi)亞去!

　　It was my great misfortune that in all these adventures I did not ship myself as a sailor; when, though I might indeed have worked a little harder than ordinary, yet at the same time I should have learnt the duty and office of a fore-mast man, and in time might have qualified myself for a mate or lieutenant, if not for a master. But as it was always my fate to choose for the worse, so I did here; for having money in my pocket and good clothes upon my back, I would always go on board in the habit of a gentleman; and so I neither had any business in the ship, nor learned to do any.

　　在以往的冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)中，我在船上從未當(dāng)過水手。這是我的不幸。本來，我可以比平時(shí)艱苦些，學(xué)會做一些普通水手們做的工作。到一定時(shí)候，即使做不了船長，說不定也能當(dāng)上個(gè)大副或船長助手什么的?？墒牵凶⒍ㄎ颐看味紩鞒?font color=red>最壞的選擇，這一次也不例外?？诖镅b了幾個(gè)錢，身上穿著體面的衣服，我就像往常一樣，以紳士的身份上了船。船上的一切事務(wù)，我從不參與，也從不學(xué)著去做。

　　It was my lot first of all to fall into pretty good company in London, which does not always happen to such loose and misguided young fellows as I then was; the devil generally not omitting to lay some snare for them very early; but it was not so with me. I first got acquainted with the master of a ship who had been on the coast of Guinea; and who, having had very good success there, was resolved to go again. This captain taking a fancy to my conversation, which was not at all disagreeable at that time, hearing me say I had a mind to see the world, told me if I would go the voyage with him I should be at no expense; I should be his messmate and his companion; and if I could carry anything with me, I should have all the advantage of it that the trade would admit; and perhaps I might meet with some encouragement.

　　在倫敦，我交上了好朋友。這又是我命里注定的。這種好事通常不會落到像我這樣一個(gè)放蕩不羈、誤入歧途的年輕人身上。魔鬼總是早早給他們設(shè)下了陷井。但對我卻不然。一開始，我就認(rèn)識了一位船長。他曾到過幾內(nèi)亞沿岸;在那兒，他做了一筆不錯(cuò)的買賣，所以決定再走一趟。他對我的談話很感興趣，因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)我的談吐也許不怎么令人討厭。他聽我說要出去見見世面，就對我說，假如我愿意和他一起去，可以免費(fèi)搭他的船，并可做他的伙伴，和他一起用餐。如果我想順便帶點(diǎn)貨，他將告訴我?guī)裁礀|西最能賺錢，這樣也許我能賺點(diǎn)錢。

　　I embraced the offer; and entering into a strict friendship with this captain, who was an honest, plain-dealing man, I went the voyage with him, and carried a small adventure with me, which, by the disinterested honesty of my friend the captain, I increased very considerably; for I carried about 40 pounds in such toys and trifles as the captain directed me to buy. These 40 pounds I had mustered together by the assistance of some of my relations whom I corresponded with; and who, I believe, got my father, or at least my mother, to contribute so much as that to my first adventure.

　　對船長的盛情，我正是求之不得，并和船長成了莫逆之交。船長為人真誠其實(shí)，我便上了他的船，并捎帶了點(diǎn)貨物。由于我這位船長朋友的正直無私，我賺了一筆不小的錢。因?yàn)椋衣犓脑?，帶了一批玩具和其他小玩意兒，大約值四十英鎊。這些錢我是靠一些親戚的幫助搞來的。我寫信給他們;我相信，他們就告訴我父親，或至少告訴了我母親，由父親或母親出錢，再由親戚寄給我，作為我第一次做生意的本錢。

　　This was the only voyage which I may say was successful in all my adventures, which I owe to the integrity and honesty of my friend the captain; under whom also I got a competent knowledge of the mathematics and the rules of navigation, learned how to keep an account of the ship"s course, take an observation, and, in short, to understand some things that were needful to be understood by a sailor; for, as he took delight to instruct me, I took delight to learn; and, in a word, this voyage made me both a sailor and a merchant; for I brought home five pounds nine ounces of gold-dust for my adventure, which yielded me in London, at my return, almost 300 pounds; and this filled me with those aspiring thoughts which have since so completed my ruin.

　　可以說，這是我一生冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)中唯一成功的一次航行。這完全應(yīng)歸功于我那船長朋友的正直無私。在他的指導(dǎo)下，我還學(xué)會了一些航海的數(shù)學(xué)知識和方法，學(xué)會了記航海日志和觀察天文。一句話，懂得了一些做水手的基本常識。他樂于教我，我也樂于跟他學(xué)?？傊?，這次航行使我既成了水手，又成了商人。這次航行，我?guī)Щ亓宋灏趿憔虐凰窘鹕?回到倫敦后，我換回了約三百英鎊，賺了不少錢。這更使我躊躇滿志，因而也由此斷送了我的一生。
