1 My first sea journey
1 我的第一次海上旅行
Before I begin my story,I would like to tell you a little about myself.
开始我的故事之前,我想先向你谈一点我自己的情况。
I was born in the year 1632,in the city of York in the north of England. My father was German,but he came to live and work in England. Soon after that,he married my mother,who was English. Her family name was Robinson,so,when I was born,they called me Robinson,after her.
我1632年出生在英国北部的约克郡。我父亲是德国人,但他却来到英国居住和工作。此后不久,他与我母亲结了婚。我母亲是英国人,娘家姓鲁宾孙,因此,我出生后他们都称呼我鲁宾孙,沿用了我母亲的姓氏。
My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job and live a fortable life. But I
didn't want that. I wanted adventure and an exciting life.
我父亲在生意上做得很出色,并且我也进了一所好学校。他希望我得到好的工作,过一种平静的、舒适的生活。但是我不希望如此。我喜欢冒险和刺激的生活。
'I want to be a sailor and go to sea,'I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this.
“我想成为一名水手去航行,”我告诉父母亲。他们对此很不高兴。
'Please don't go,'my father said. 'You won't be happy,you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life. 'And because I loved him,and he was unhappy,I tried to forget about the sea.
“不要去,”父亲说。“你不会幸福的,你知道。水手过着艰苦而且危险的生活。”因为我爱父亲,他不高兴,我便试图忘掉大海。
But I couldn't forget,and about a year later,I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship,and my friend said to me,'We're sailing to London tomorrow. Why don't e with us?'
但我不可能忘掉,大约一年后,我在镇里遇到一个朋友。他的父亲有一艘船,我的朋友对我说,“明天我们航行去伦敦。你为什么不和我们一起走呢?”
And so,on September 1st,1651,I went to Hull,and the next day we sailed for London.
于是,1651年9月1日,我到了赫尔港,第二天我们驶向伦敦。
But,a few days later,there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous,and the ship went up and down,up and down. I was very ill,and very afraid.
但是,几天后,刮起了狂风,狂暴的大海危机四伏,船不断颠簸。我晕船晕得厉害,非常害怕。
Oh,I don't want to die!'I cried. 'I want to live!If I live,I'll go home and never go to sea again!'
“哦,我不想死!”我哭喊起来。“我想活着!假如我活着,我就要回家,再也不出海了!”
The next day the wind dropped,and the sea was quiet and beautiful again.
第二天,风停了,大海又重新恢复了平静而美丽。
'Well,Bob,'my friend laughed. 'How do you fe
