As soon as I found water enough - for my raft drew about a foot of water –[qh]
漫上沙滩，等水涨得够高了，我就把木排撑过去，因为木排吃水有一尺多深。[qh]
I thrust her upon that flat piece of ground, and there fastened or moored her,[qh]
到了那儿，我用两支断桨插入沙滩里，[qh]
by sticking my two broken oars into the ground, one on one side near one end, and one on the other side near the other end;[qh]
前后各一支，把木排停泊好，[qh]
and thus I lay till the water ebbed away, and left my raft and all my cargo safe on shore.[qh]
单等潮水退去，就可把木排和货物品平安安地留在岸上了。[qh]
My next work was to view the country, and seek a proper place for my habitation, and where to stow my goods to secure them from whatever might happen.[qh]
接下来我得观察一下周围的地形，找个合适的地方安置我的住所和贮藏东西，以防发生意外。[qh]
Where I was, I yet knew not;[qh]
至今我还不知自己身处何地，[qh]
whether on the continent or on an island;[qh]
在大陆上呢，还是在小岛上，[qh]
whether inhabited or not inhabited;[qh]
有人烟的地方呢，还是没有人烟的地方，[qh]
whether in danger of wild beasts or not.[qh]
有野兽呢，还是没有野兽。[qh]
There was a hill not above a mile from me, which rose up very steep and high, and which seemed to overtop some other hills,[qh]
离我不到一英里的地方，有一座小山，[qh]
which lay as in a ridge from it northward.[qh]
高高耸立于北面的山丘之上，看来那是一道山脉。[qh]
I took out one of the fowling-pieces, and one of the pistols, and a horn of powder;[qh]
我拿了一支鸟枪、一支手枪和一角筒火药，[qh]
and thus armed, I travelled for discovery up to the top of that hill, where, after I had with great labour and difficulty got to the top,[qh]
向那座山的山顶走去。历尽艰辛，总算爬上了山顶；[qh]
I saw any fate, to my great affliction - viz. that I was in an island environed every way with the sea:[qh]
环顾四周，不禁令我悲伤万分。原来我上了一个海岛，四面环海，极目所至，[qh]
no land to be seen except some rocks, which lay a great way off;[qh]
看不见一片陆地，只见远方几块孤岩礁石；[qh]
and two small islands, less than this, which lay about three leagues to the west.[qh]
再就是西边有两个比本岛还小的岛屿，约在十五海里开外。[qh]
I found also that the island I was in was barren, and,[qh]
我还发现，这个海岛非常荒凉，[qh]
as I saw good reason to believe, uninhabited except by wild beasts, of whom,[qh]
看来荒无人烟，只有野兽出没其间，[qh]
however, I saw none.[qh]
但至今我尚未遇见过任何野兽，[qh]
