I observ'd, that the two who swam, were yet more than twice as long swimming over the Creek, as the Fellow was, that fled from them: It came now very warmly upon my Thoughts, and indeed irresistibly, that now was my Time to get me a Servant, and perhaps a Companion, or Assistant; and that I was call'd plainly by Providence to save this poor Creature's Life; I immediately run down the Ladders with all possible Expedition, fetches my two Guns, for they were both but at the Foot of the Ladders, as I observ'd above; and getting up again, with the same haste, to the Top of the Hill, I cross'd toward the Sea; and having a very short Cut, and all down Hill, clapp'd my self in the way, between the Pursuers, and the Pursu'd; hallowing aloud to him that fled, who looking back, was at first perhaps as much frighted at me, as at them; but I beckon'd with my Hand to him, to come back; and in the mean time, I slowly advanc'd towards the two that follow'd; then rushing at once upon the foremost, I knock'd him down with the Stock of my Piece I was loath to fire, because 1 would not have the rest hear; though at that distance, it would not have been easily heard, and being out of Sight of the Smoke too, they wou'd not have easily known what to make of it: Having knock'd this Fellow down, the other who pursu'd with him stopp'd, as if he had been frighted; and I advanc'd a-pace towards him; but as I came nearer, I perceiv'd presently, he had a Bow and Arrow, and was fitting it to shoot at me; so I was then necessitated to shoot at him first, which I did, and kill'd him at the first Shoot; the poor Savage who fled, but had stopp'd; though he saw both his Enemies fallen, and kill'd, as he thought; yet was so frighted with the Fire, and Noise of my Piece, that he stood Stock still, and neither came forward or went backward, tho' he seem'd rather enclin'd to fly still, than to come on; I hollow'd again to him, and made Signs to come forward, which he easily understood, and came a little way, then stopp'd again, and then a little further, and stopp'd again, and I cou'd then perceive that he stood trembling, as if he had been taken Prisoner, and had just been to be kill'd, as his two Enemies were; I beckon'd him again to come to me, and gave him all the Signs of Encouragement that I could think of, and he came nearer and nearer, kneeling down every Ten or Twelve steps in token of acknowledgement for my saving his Life: I smil'd at him, and look'd pleasantly, and beckon'd to him to come still nearer; at length he came close to me, and then he kneel'd down again, kiss'd the Ground, and laid his Head upon the Ground, and taking me by the Foot, set my Foot upon his Head; this it seems was in token of swearing to be my Slave for ever; I took him up, and made much of him, and encourag'd him all I could.

这时候，我脑子里突然产生一个强烈的、不可抗拒的欲望：我要找个仆人，现在正是时候；说不定我还能找到一个侣伴，一个帮手哩。这明明是上天召唤我救救这个可怜虫的命呢！我立即跑下梯子，拿起我的两支枪--前面我已提到，这两支枪就放在梯子脚下。然后，又迅速爬上梯子，翻过山顶，向海边跑去。我抄了一条近路，跑下山去，插身在追踪者和逃跑者之间。我向那逃跑的野人大声呼唤。他回头望了望，起初仿佛对我也很害怕，其程度不亚于害怕追赶他的野人。但我用手势召唤他过来，同时慢慢向后面追上来的两个野人迎上去。等他俩走近时，我一下子冲到前面的一个野人跟前，用枪杆子把他打倒在地。我不想开枪，怕枪声让其余的野人听见。其实距离这么远，枪声是很难听到的；即使隐隐约约听到了，他们也看不见硝烟，所以肯定会弄不清是怎么回事。第一个野人被我打倒之后，同他一起追来的那个野人就停住了脚步，仿佛吓住了。于是我又急步向他迎上去。当我快走近他时，见他手里拿起弓箭，准备拉弓向我放箭。我不得不先向他开枪，一枪就把他打死了。那逃跑的野人这时也停住了脚步。这可怜的家伙虽然亲眼见到他的两个敌人都已经倒下，并且在他看来已必死无疑，但却给我的枪声和火光吓坏了。他站在那里，呆若木鸡，既不进也不退，看样子他很想逃跑而不敢走近我。我向他大声招呼，做手势叫他过来。他明白了我的意思，向前走几步停停，又走几步又停停。这时，我看到他站在那里，混身发抖。他以为自己成了我的俘虏，也将像他的两个敌人那样被杀死。我又向他招招手，叫他靠近我，并做出种种手势叫他不要害怕。他这才慢慢向前走，每走一二十步便跪一下，好像是感谢我救了他的命。我向他微笑，作出和蔼可亲的样子，并一再用手招呼他，叫他再靠近一点。最后，他走到我跟前，再次跪下，吻着地面，又把头贴在地上，把我的一只脚放到他的头上，好像在宣誓愿终身做我的奴隶。我把他扶起来，对他十分和气，并千方百计叫他不要害怕。但事情还没有完。

But never was a fight managed so hardily, and in such a surprising manner, as that which followed between Friday and the bear, which gave us all (though at first we were surprised and afraid for him) the greatest diversion imaginable: as the bear is a heavy, clumsy creature, and does not gallop as the wolf does, who is swift, and light; so he has two particular qualities, which generally are the rule of his actions; first, as to men, who are not his proper prey; I say, not his proper prey; because though I cannot say what excessive hunger might do, which was now their case, the ground being all covered with snow; but as to men, he does not usually attempt them, unless they first attack him: on the contrary, if you meet him in the woods, if you don't meddle with him, he won't meddle with you; but then you must take care to be very civil to him, and give him the road; for he is a very nice gentleman, he won't go a step out of his way for a prince; nay, if you are really afraid, your best way is to look another way, and keep going on; for sometimes if you stop, and stand still, and look steadily at him, he takes it for an affront; but if you throw or toss any thing at him, and it hits him, though it were but a bit of a stick, as big as your finger, he takes it for an affront, and sets all his other business aside to pursue his revenge; for he will have satisfaction in point of honour; that is his first quality: the next is, that if he be once affronted, he will never leave you, night or day, till he has his revenge; but follows at a good round rate, till he overtakes you.

再没有什么战斗比"星期五"和大熊之间后来那场战斗更勇敢和更惊险的了。这场大战起初确实使我们感到很惊险，但最后却给了我们大家无比的娱乐。熊这种动物身体笨重，行动迟缓；不像狼那样一路小跑，又快又轻。因此熊具有两个特性，作为它的一般行动规则：第一、先说人，人不是熊的合适的猎物，我是说的"合适的猎物"；当然，像现在这种情况，地上全被大雪覆盖，熊极端饥饿时是否也会吃人，我就不敢说了。不过，人一般不要去攻击熊，除非熊首先攻击人；相反，要是你在树林里遇到熊，你不去惹它，它也不会惹你。不过你得特别小心，要对它特别客气，给它让路，因为它是一位非常可爱的绅士，就是王子，熊也不会给他让开一步的；如果你真的害怕，最好不要看它，继续走你的路。如果你停下来，站着不动，盯着看它，它就认为是对它的挑衅。如果你向它扔什么东西，打中了它，哪怕是一根只有手指头粗的棍子，它也认为是对它一种挑衅，就会不顾一切，实行报复；因为只有把荣誉挣回来他才会感到满足。这是熊的第一个特性。第二个特性是：熊一旦受到挑衅，就会日夜跟着你，直到报完了仇；哪怕绕上许多路，也要跟着你，直到把你抓住。

But never was a Fight manag'd so hardily, and in such a surprizing Manner, as that which follow'd between Friday and the Bear, which gave us all (though at first we were surpriz'd and afraid for him) the greatest Diversion imaginable: As the Bear is a heavy, clumsey Creature, and does not gallop as the Wolf does, who is swift, and light; so he has two particular Qualities, which generally are the Rule of his Actions; First, As to Men, who are not his proper Prey; I say, not his proper Prey; because tho' I cannot say what excessive Hunger might do, which was now their Case, the Ground being all cover'd with Snow; but as to Men, he does not usually attempt them, unless they first attack him: On the contrary, if you meet him in the Woods, if you don't meddle with him, he won't meddle with you; but then you must take Care to be very Civil to him, and give him the Road; for he is a very nice Gentleman, he won't go a Step out of his Way for a Prince; nay, if you are really afraid, your best way is to look another Way, and keep going on; for sometimes if you stop, and stand still, and look steadily at him, he takes it for an Affront; but if you throw or toss any Thing at him, and it hits him, though it were but a bit of a Stick, as big as your Finger, he takes it for an Affront, and sets all his other Business aside to pursue his Revenge; for he will have Satisfaction in Point of Honour; that is his first Quality: The next is, That if he be once affronted, he will never leave you, Night or Day, till he has his Revenge; but follows at a good round rate, till he overtakes you.

紧接着，星期五和那只大熊之间展开了一场最大胆、最惊人的大战。这场大战起初确实使我们胆战心惊，最后却使大家开怀大笑。熊的身体笨重，行动蹒跚，跑起来当然没有狼那样轻快。因此，他的行动有两个特点。第一，对人来说，他一般不把人当作猎食的对象；当然，像现在这样大雪遍地，极端饥饿的时候，这笨拙的大家伙是否也会吃人，那就很难说了。一般来说，要是在树林里遇到熊，你不去惹它，它也不会来惹你。不过，你得特别小心，要对它客气，给它让路，因为它是一位特别难以取悦的绅士，即使是一位王子走来，它也不肯让路。如果你真的害怕，最好不要看它，继续走你的路。如果你停下来，站着正视它，熊就认为是对它的侮辱。如果你向它丢点什么东西，打中了它，哪怕是一根小小的树枝，只有你手指头那么粗，熊也认为是一种侮辱。这时，它会把一切丢开不管，一心只想报仇，不达目的决不罢休。这有关它的荣誉问题，它一定要把面子挣回来才算满足。这是熊的第一个特点。第二个特点是，熊一旦受到侮辱，就会不分昼夜地跟着你，一直到报了仇才罢休，哪怕绕上许多路，也要赶上你，抓住你。

So I used a quilt cover not a overstaffed sleeping bag again, it was cheaper and clean and easy; there are street lamps in the center of city, there is star and moon in mountain, so I needed not a headlight; there are so many rest houses, it is buggy to bring a tent, when camping, I could not have a wash, and could not go to toilet; the bag for washing tools is so expensive and no any use, a plastic bag would be better; Chocolates and ship biscuits are very insipid, and no alimentation, the local chicken soup would be more better; less clothing can reduce weights, if washing many times so, can change many times; books and magazines and CD and small sound boxes are also left at home, I preferred to sleep for a while or have a chat with local people; I preferred a ordinary cup bought in supermarkets to a LANKEN water bottle, the ordinary cup is not easy to be broken and not hot, and easy for brushing teeth; and, when I knew I could not become a shoot master, so I did not bring a camera now, I thought it was enough to use the digital cameral; and the most laughable were my alpenstocks, they just could be used to beat dogs besides showing peacockish, but I could found any sticks anywhere to beat dogs; and I did not bring anything which were not necessary

臃肿的睡袋换成被套，经济又实惠干净又轻便；城市里有路灯，山野里有星星和月亮，要头灯干吗；各处都有招待所，带帐篷是神经病，没洗澡来没马桶；洗漱包贵的最无聊，还不如用一塑料袋；巧克力和压缩饼干难吃没营养，不如当地土鸡汤；衣物少带能减好几斤，勤洗也就能勤换；闲书杂志 CD 机小音响也一概不带，有那时间可以睡觉或和当地人多聊聊天； LANKEN 水壶也要被超市买的太空杯替代，不怕摔不怕烫还口大好刷牙；还有，在明白自己成不了摄影大师后，现在我连带照相机的勇气都快没有了，以后就用傻瓜数码拍拍到此一游算了；可笑的是那行走杖，除了骚以外最大的用处是打狗，可打狗棍到处都能拣到。

About a Year and half after I had entertain'd these Notions, and by long musing, had as it were resolved them all into nothing, for want of an Occasion to put them in Execution, I was surpriz'd one Morning early, with seeing no less than five Canoes all on Shore together on my side the Island; and the People who belong'd to them all landed, and out of my sight: The Number of them broke all my Measures, for seeing so many, and knowing that they always came four or six, or sometimes more in a Boat, I could not tell what to think of it, Or how to take my Measures, to attack Twenty or Thirty Men single handed; so I lay still in my Castle, perplex'd and discomforted: However I put my self into all the same Postures for an Attack that I had formerly provided, and was just ready for Action, if any Thing had presented; having waited a good while, listening to hear if they made any Noise; at length being very impatient, I set my Guns at the Foot of my Ladder, and clamber'd up to the Top of the Hill, by my two Stages as usual; standing so however that my Head did not appear above the Hill, so that they could not perceive me by any Means; here I observ'd by the help of my Perspective Glass, that they were no less than Thirty in Number, that they had a Fire kindled, that they had had Meat dress'd.

我自从有了这些想法之后，平时就经常会想到这件事，可是因为没有机会付诸实施，因此一直都毫无结果。这样大约又过了一年半光景。一天清晨，我忽然发现有五只独木舟在岛这头靠了岸，船上的人都已上了岛，但却不知道他们去哪儿了。他们来的人这么多，把我的计划彻底打破了。因为我知道，一只独木舟一般载五、六个人，有时甚至更多。现在一下子来了这么多船，少说他有二三十人，我一个人单枪匹马，如何能对付他们呢！因此，我只好悄悄躲到城堡里去，坐立不安，一筹莫展。可是，我还是根据过去的计划，进行作战准备，以便一有机会，立即行动。我等了好久，留神听他们的动静，最后，实在耐不住了，就把枪放在梯子脚下，像平时那样，分作两步爬上小山顶。我站在那里，尽量不把头露出来，唯恐被他们看见。我拿起望远镜进行观察，发现他们不下三十人，并且已经生起了火，正在煮肉。至于他们怎样煮的，煮的又究竟是什么肉，我就不得而知了。

在他们和我的城堡之间，有一条小河。

It was as if she were not standing on the deck of the ship anymore but was instead standing in a jungle clearing, looking at a group of brown-skinned, half-naked people. The people beckoned for her to come to them.

她向神祈祷，圣灵的带领，她惊异地看到自己似乎不在游船上，她站在丛林里，前面有一群棕色肤色，半裸体的人，这群人朝她招手，请她过来。

If there were not so many mosquitos, it would be perfect for camping.

如果没有这许多蚊虫，野营就十全十美了

All I had in t he world,my rings,my watch,my little money,for a coach;or,if one were not to be got,I would go on foot to Hampstead that night,though I walked it by myself.

我所有的全部，我的戒指、我的表、我的一点钱都用来雇马车；否则的话，如果找不到别人，我会在那晚上走到汉普斯蒂德，尽管是我一个人走。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.
