Indeed，because I had been with giants for so long，I had forgotten that my countrymen were as small as me．
确实，因为我和巨人在一起太久了，我忘了我的国人是和我一样小的。
The only thing the sailors could do was to cut a hole in the top of my box，and help me to climb out．I was exhausted and unable to walk far．
这些水手唯一能做的是在我的盒子顶部挖一个洞、帮我爬出来。我累坏了，不能走远。
They took me to their captain．
他们把我带到他们的船长那儿。
Welcome to my ship，he said kindly．You're lucky we found you．My men saw that huge box on the water，and we decided to pull it along behind the ship．
欢迎到我们船上来，他和善地说，你很幸运我们发现了你。我的人发现水里有一个大盒子，我们决定将它挂在轮船后面拖着走。
Then we realized there was a man inside！Why were you locked up in there？
然后我们意识到里面有一个人！你为什么被锁在里面？
Was it a punishment for some terrible crime？But tell me all about it later．Now you need to sleep，and then eat．
这是一种对什么可怕的罪过的惩罚吗？不过以后再告诉我这些，你现在需要休息，然后吃点东西。
When I told him my story，a few hours later，he found it difficult to believe．But after a while he began to accept that what I told him must be true．
几个小时之后，我告诉他我的经历，他觉得难以置信。不过过了一会儿他开始接受我所告诉他的是真的。
But why do you shout so loudly？he asked．We can hear you perfectly well if you speak normally．
可是你为什么叫喊那么大声音？他问，如果你正常地说话我们也能听得很清楚。
You see，I explained，for two years I've had to shout to make myself understood by the giants．
你看，我解释说，两年来我不得不大声喊叫以便让我能被巨人听清楚。
I was like a man in the street who was trying to talk to another man at the top of a very tall building．
我就像一个走在大街上的人，要跟在一座非常高的建筑物顶上的另一个人说话。
And another thing-your sailors all seem very small to me，because I've been used to looking up at people twenty metres tall．
还有一件事，你的水手在我看起来都非常小，因为我以经习惯了仰着头看20米高的人。
He shook his head．Well，what a story！I think you should write a book about it when you get home．
他摇着头。嗯，多么好的故事啊！我觉得你回家后应该把它写成一本书。
I stayed on the ship for several months，as we sailed slowly home to England．
我们慢慢地航行回英国，我在这船上呆了几个月。
Finally，we arrived in Bristol on June 3rd，1706．When I reached home，my wife made me promise never to go to sea again，and I thought my adventures had come to an end．
最后我们于1706年6月3日到达布里斯托尔。我回到家时，我妻子要我许愿再也不出海，我想我的历险到此为止了。
