these rocks I found caused the current to part again, and as the main stress of it ran away more southerly, leaving the rocks to the north-east;

那些礁石把这股急流分成两股，主要的一股继续流向南方，

so the other returned by the repulse of the rocks, and made a strong eddy, which ran back again to the north-west, with a very sharp stream.

另一股被礁石挡回，形成一股强烈的回流，向西北流回来，水流湍急。

They who know what it is to have a reprieve brought to them upon the ladder, or to be rescued from thieves just a going to murder them, or, who have been in such like extremities,

假如有人在临上绞架时忽然得到赦免，或者正要被强盗谋害时忽然获救，或者有过类似的死里逃生的经历，

may guess what my present surprise of joy was, and how gladly I put my boat into the stream of this eddy, and the wind also freshening, how gladly I spread my sail to it, running cheerfully before the wind, and with a strong tide or eddy under foot.

就不难体会到我当时那种喜出望外的心情，也不难设想我把船驶进那股回流是多么欣喜若狂。平时，正当风顺水急，我张帆乘风破浪向前，那欢快的心情是不难想像的。

This eddy carried me about a league on my way back again directly towards the island, but about two leagues more to the northward than the current which carried me away at first;

这股回流一直把我往岛上的方向冲了约三海里，但与先前把我冲向海外的那股急流相距六海里多，方向偏北。

so that when I came near the island, I found myself open to the northern shore of it, that is to say, the other end of the island opposite to that which I went out from.

因此，当我靠近海岛时，发现自己正驶向岛的北岸，而我这次航行出发的地方是岛的南岸。

When I had made something more than a league of way by the help of this current or eddy, I found it was spent and served me no farther.

这股回流把我冲向海岛方向三海里之后，它已成了强弩之末，再也不能把船向前推进了。

However, I found that being between the two great currents, (viz.) that on the south side which had hurried me away, and that on the north which lay about a league on the other side.

我发现自己正处于两股激流之间——一股在南面，也就是把我冲走的那股急流，一股在北面，两股激流之间相距约三海里。

I say between these two, in the wake of the island, I found the water at least still and running no way, and having still a breeze of wind fair for me, I kept on steering directly for the island, tho' not making such fresh way as I did before.

我刚才说，我正好处于两股激流之间，且已靠近小岛。这儿海面平静，海水没有流动的样子，而且还有一股顺风。我就乘风向岛上驶去，但船行慢得多了。

About four o'clock in the evening, being then within a league of the island, I found the point of the rocks which occasioned this disaster, stretching out as is described before to the southward,

大约下午四点钟，在离海岛不到三海里的地方，我看到了伸向南方的岬角，这一点我前面也已提到过。正是这堆礁石引发了这次祸端。

and casting off the current more southwardly, had of course made another eddy to the north, and this I found very strong, but not directly setting the way my course lay which was due west, but almost full north.

岬角把急流进一步向南方逼去，同时又分出一股回流向北方流去。这股回流流得很急，一直向正北。这不是我要航行的方向，我的航线是要往西走。

However, having a fresh gale, I stretched across this eddy slanting north-west, and in about an hour came within about a mile of the shore, where it being smooth water, I soon got to land.

由于风还大，我就从斜里穿过这股回流，向西北插过去。一小时之后，离岛只有一海里了，且这一带海面平静，所以不久我便上了岸。

When I was on shore I fell on my knees and gave God thanks for my deliverance, resolving to lay aside all thoughts of my deliverance by my boat, and refreshing myself with such things as I had,

上岸之后，我立即跪在地上，感谢上帝搭救我脱离大难，并决心放弃坐小船离开孤岛的一切胡思乱想。

I brought my boat close to the shore in a little cove that I had spied under some trees, and lay me down to sleep, being quite spent with the labour and fatigue of the voyage.

我吃了一些所带的东西，就把小船划进岸边的一个小湾里藏在树底下。接着，我就躺在地上睡着了。这次航行把我弄得筋疲力竭，既辛苦又困乏。

I was now at a great loss which way to get home with my boat, I had run so much hazard, and knew too much of the case to think of attempting it by the way I went out, and what might be at the other side (I mean the west side) I knew not, nor had I any mind to run any more ventures;

我完全不知道该怎样驾船回家。我遇到了这么多危险，知道照原路回去是十分危险的，而海岛的另一边，也就是西边的情况，我又一无所知，更无心再去冒险。

so I resolved on the next morning to make my way westward along the shore and to see if there was no creek where I might lay up my frigate in safety, so as to have her again if I wanted her;

所以，我决定第二天早晨沿海岸西行，看看能不能找到一条小河停泊我的小战舰，以便需要的时候再来取它。

in about three miles or thereabouts coasting the shore, I came to a very good inlet or bay about a mile over, which narrowed till it came to a very little rivulet or brook, where I found a very convenient harbour for my boat and where she lay as if she had been in a little dock made on purpose for her.

我驾船沿岸行驶约三海里，找到了一个小湾，约一英里宽，愈往里愈窄，最后成了一条小溪。这对于我的小船倒是一个进出方便的港口，就仿佛是专门为它建立的小船坞似的。

Here I put in, and having stowed my boat very safe, I went on shore to look about me and see where I was. I soon found I had but a little past by the place where I had been before, when I travelled on foot to that shore;

我把小船停放妥当后，便上了岸。我环顾四周，看看到底到了什么地方。我很快就发现，这儿离我上次徒步旅行所到过的地方不远。

so taking nothing out of my boat, but my gun and my umbrella, for it was exceedingly hot, I began my march:

因为天气很热，我只从船上拿出了枪和伞就出发了。

The way was comfortable enough after such a voyage as I had been upon, and I reached my old bower in the evening, where I found everything standing as I left it; for I always kept it in good order, being, as I said before, my country house.

经过这次辛劳而又危险的航行之后，我感到在陆上旅行十分轻松愉快。傍晚，我就到了自己的茅舍。屋里一切如旧，因为这是我的乡间别墅，我总是把一切都收拾得整整齐齐的。

I got over the fence, and laid me down in the shade to rest my limbs; for I was very weary, and fell asleep:

我爬过围墙，躺在树荫下歇歇腿。我实在太疲倦了，不久就昏昏沉沉睡着了。

But judge you, if you can, that read my story, what a surprize I must be in, when I was waked out of my sleep by a voice calling me by my name several times, Robin, Robin, Robin Crusoe, poor Robin Crusoe, where are you, Robin Crusoe? Where are you? Where have you been?

不料，忽然有一个声音叫着我的名字，把我从睡梦中惊醒：“鲁宾逊！鲁宾逊！鲁宾逊·克鲁索！可怜的鲁宾逊·克鲁索！你在哪儿，鲁宾逊·克鲁索？你在哪儿？你去哪儿啦？”亲爱的读者，你们不妨想想，这多么出乎意料啊！

I was so dead asleep at first, being fatigued with rowing for part of the day, and with walking the latter part, that I did not wake thoroughly, but dozing, thought I dreamed that somebody spoke to me:

开始我睡得很熟，因为上半天一直在划船，下半天又走了不少路，所以困乏极了。突然，我被惊醒，但人一下子还未完全清醒过来，只是处于半睡半醒之中，因此我以为在睡梦中有人在同我说话。

But as the voice continued to repeat, Robin Crusoe, Robin Crusoe, at last I began to wake more perfectly, and was at first dreadfully frightened, and started up in the utmost consternation:

但那声音不断地叫着“鲁宾逊·克鲁索”，终于使我完全清醒过来。这一醒，把我吓得心胆俱裂，一骨碌从地上爬起。
