独木舟

Now back to those first of all Hawaiians, why landed from their outrigger canoe sometime between A.D. 750 and 800, liked what they saw, and decided to make it their home.

现在回头看看首批夏威夷人，在公元750年至800年之间的某一年，当他们从自己的独木舟踏上夏威夷时，他们更喜欢上自己所看见的，并决定这儿成为他们的家。

The island, where Aborigines once came in outrigger canoes to gather food, is now off-limits to most visitors to protect the nesting wildlife.

岛上，在那里土著居民曾经在支架独木舟收集食物，现在已经关闭限制大多数游客以保护野生动物的筑巢。

If you stand up you'll overbalance the canoe.

要是站起来，能把独木舟弄翻。

They offer kayaking; snorkeling, parasailing and have even introduced a new Aqua Park for the children.

他们提供独木舟，浮潜，伞，甚至提出了一项新的水上公园为儿童。

There were Trees enough in the Island to have built a little Fleet, not of Periagua's and Canoes, but even of good large Vessels.

这岛上到处是树木，足够用来造一支小小的船队，而且不仅仅是造一支独木舟的船队，而是可以造一支大船的船队。

That there were seventeen bearded Men there; and therefore, without any more Delay, I went to Work with Friday to find out a great Tree proper to fell, and make a large Periagua or Canoe to undertake the Voyage.

因此我马上就跟星期五一起，去找一颗可以砍伐的大树，拿它造条大一点的独木舟，以便驾着它到对面的大陆上去。

This Observation convinc'd me, That I had nothing to do but to observe the Ebbing and the Flowing of the Tide, and I might very easily bring my Boat about the Island again: But when I began to think of putting it in Practice, I had such a Terror upon my Spirits at the Remembrance of the Danger I had been in, that I could not think of it again with any Patience; but on the contrary, I took up another Resolution which was more safe, though more laborious; and this was, That I would build, or rather make me another Periagua or Canoe; and so have one for one Side of the Island, and one for the other.

这次观察使我确信，只要注意潮水的涨落，我可以很容易把小船弄到我住地所在的那一边。但当我想把自己的主意付诸实施的时候，又想到了上次所经历的危险，不由心惊肉跳，连想也不敢想了。于是，我作了一个新的决定，那就是再造一条独木舟。这样，我在岛的这边有一只，岛的那边也有一只。这样做虽然比较费力，但却比较安全。

这次观察使我确信，只要观察潮水的涨落，就会很容易把小船弄到岛的我这边。当我开始想付诸实施的时候，但又回想起上次经历的危险，不由得心惊肉跳，再也不愿这样想了。但与此相反，我做出了另一个新的虽然比较费力、但却比较安全的决定，那就是：再建造一条独木舟。这样，岛这边我有一只，岛那边也有一只。

However, though my little Periagua was finish'd; yet the Size of it was not at all answerable to the Design which I had in View, when I made the first; I mean, Of venturing over to the Terra Firma, where it was above forty Miles broad; accordingly, the Smallness of my Boat assisted to put an End to that Design, and now I thought no more of it: But as I had a Boat, my next Design was to make a Tour round the Island; for as I had been on the other Side, in one Place, crossing as I have already describ'd it, over the Land; so the Discoveries I made in that little Journey, made me very eager to see other Parts of the Coast; and now I had a Boat, I thought of nothing but sailing round the Island.

我造的第一只独木舟是相当大的，因为我想用它渡到小岛对面的那块大陆上去，期间的距离约有四十海里。可是，现在新造的这艘船就太小了，不可能乘它渡过那么宽的海域，因而不符合我原先造船的意图。这样，我只好打消我原定的计划，不再去想它了。现在既然有了这只小舟，我的下一步计划就是坐上小船绕岛航行一圈。前面我曾提到，我曾经在陆上徒步横越小岛，抵达了岛的另一头。在那些小小的旅行中，我有不少新的发现，所以我一直想看看小岛沿岸的其他地区。现在，我既然有了小船，就可沿岛航行一周，实现我的宿愿了。

I spent 6 months island hopping around the country – including paddling Morova Lagoon by traditional canoe - during which time I learned the local language Pidgin English and formed strong and enduring friendships.

我花了六个月的时间游览了多个岛屿，甚至还划著传统的独木舟穿越了Morova礁湖。

With Death guitarist Schuldiner adopting vocal duties, the band made a major impact on the scene.

随着死亡的吉他手Schuldiner接受主唱的职务，乐队在现实中树立了重要的影响。

But he could still end up breakfasting on Swiss-government issue muesli because all six are accused of nicking around 45 million pounds they should have paid to FIFA.

不过他最后仍有可能沦为瑞士政府&议事餐桌&上的一道早餐，因为这所有六个人都被指控把本应支付给国际足联的大约4500万英镑骗了个精光。
