大猎物

Within the rivers and streams throughout the tropics there lives an animal that has a projectile weapon sophisticated as a high powered rifle.While most fish feed on what lives in the water, the archerfish can attack those that linger above the surface.

在热带的河流，溪水中生活著一种动物，它的弹射武器尖端得像大火力来福枪一样，大多数鱼都以水中的生物为食，而射水鱼却能捕捉到那些在水面附近活动的猎物。

When we told them how we plac'd our selves, and the Horses in the Middle, they blam'd us exceedingly, and told us it was fifty to one but we had been all destroy'd; for it was the Sight of the Horses which made the Wolves so furious, Seeing their Prey; and that at other Times they are really afraid of a Gun; but the being excessive Hungry, and raging on that Account, the Eagerness to come at the Horses had made them sensless of Danger; and that if we had not by the continu'd Fire, and at last by the Stratagem of the Train of Powder, master'd them, it had been great Odds but that we had been torn to Pieces; whereas had we been content to have sat still on Horseback, and fir'd as Horsemen, they would not have taken the Horses for so much their own, when Men were on their Backs, as otherwise; and withal they told us, that at last, if we had stood altogether, and left our Horses, they would have been so eager to have devour'd them, that we might have come off safe, especially having our Fire Arms in our Hands, and being so many in Number.

狼主要是想吃马。它们之所以那样奋不顾身冲上来，是由于看到了我们身后的马。一般来说，狼是怕枪的，但当它们饿疯时，就会不顾危险，只想抢马吃了。要不是我们连续开枪，并且最后用点燃火药的办法把他们吓退，我们大概早就给那些饿狼撕成碎片吃掉了。其实，只要我们安安稳稳地坐在马上，像骑兵那样向狼群开枪，它们看到马上有人，就不会把马看作猎物了。最后，他们又说，如果我们大家紧挨在一起，丢开我们的马，狼就一心只想吃马而不会管我们，我们也可平安通过，更何况我们有武器，而且人多势众。对我来说，这次遇险，是我一生中最可怕的一次。当时，我看到三百多个恶魔般的畜牲嚎叫着向我们冲来，张开大嘴恨不得一口把我们吞掉，而我们又无处可躲，无处可退，我以为一定完蛋了。

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。
