In the next place, we are to observe that among the many things which I brought out of the ship,[qh]
另外，我还应该提一下，我从船上搬下来的东西很多，[qh]
in the several voyages which, as above mentioned, I made to it, I got several things of less value, but not at all less useful to me,[qh]
有些东西价值不大，但用处不校[qh]
which I omitted setting down before; as, in particular, pens, ink, and paper, several parcels in the captains, mates, gunners and carpenters keeping;[qh]
可是前面我忘记交待了。我这里特别要提一下那些纸、笔、墨水；船长、大副、炮手和木匠的一些东西，[qh]
three or four compasses, some mathematical instruments, dials, perspectives, charts, and books of navigation,[qh]
三四个罗盘啦，一些观察和计算仪器啦，日规仪啦，望远镜啦，地图啦，以及航海书籍之类的东西。[qh]
all which I huddled together, whether I might want them or no; also, I found three very good Bibles,[qh]
当时我不管有用没用，通通收拾起来带上岸。同时，我又找到了三本很好的《圣经》，[qh]
which came to me in my cargo from England, and which I had packed up among my things;[qh]
是随我的英国货一起运来的。我上船时，把这几本书打在我的行李里面。[qh]
some Portuguese books also; and among them two or three Popish prayer-books, and several other books, all which I carefully secured.[qh]
此外，还有几本葡萄牙文的书籍，其中有两三本天主教祈祷书和几本别的书籍。所以这些书本我都小心地保存起来。[qh]
And I must not forget that we had in the ship a dog and two cats, of whose eminent history I may have occasion to say something in its place;[qh]
我也不应忘记告诉读者，船上还有一条狗和两只猫。关于它们奇异的经历，我以后在适当的时候还要谈到。[qh]
for I carried both the cats with me; and as for the dog,[qh]
我把两只猫都带上岸；至于那条狗，[qh]
he jumped out of the ship of himself, and swam on shore to me the day after I went on shore with my first cargo,[qh]
我第一次上船搬东西时，它就泅水跟我上岸了，[qh]
and was a trusty servant to me many years;[qh]
后来许多年中，它一直是我忠实的仆人。[qh]
I wanted nothing that he could fetch me, nor any company that he could make up to me;[qh]
我什么东西也不缺，不必让它帮我猎取什么动物，也不能做我的同伴帮我干什么事，[qh]
I only wanted to have him talk to me, but that would not do.[qh]
但求能与它说说话，可就连这一点它都办不到。[qh]
As I observed before, I found pens, ink, and paper, and I husbanded them to the utmost;[qh]
我前面已提到，我找到了笔、墨水和纸，但我用得非常节剩你们将会看到，[qh]
and I shall show that while my ink lasted, I kept things very exact, but after that was gone I could not,[qh]
只要我有墨水，我可以把一切都如实记载下来，但一旦墨水用完，我就记不成了，[qh]
for I could not make any ink by any means that I could devise.[qh]
因为我想不出有什么方法可以制造墨水。[qh]
And this put me in mind that I wanted many things notwithstanding all that I had amassed together; and of these, ink was one;[qh]
这使我想到，尽管我已收集了这么多东西，我还缺少很多很多东西，墨水就是其中之一。[qh]
as also a spade, pickaxe, and shovel, to dig or remove the earth; needles, pins, and thread;[qh]
其它的东西像挖土或搬土用的铲子、鹤嘴斧、铁锹，以及针线等等我都没有。[qh]
as for linen, I soon learned to want that without much difficulty.[qh]
至于内衣内裤之类，虽然缺乏，不久我也便习惯了。[qh]
