Robinson Crusoe Written Anew for Children by Daniel Defoe. Adapted by James Baldwin., CHAPTER 44. I SEE A STRANGE SAIL

CHAPTER 44. I SEE A STRANGE SAIL

I PASS over some wonderful things that happened during my last year on the island. For I must not make this story too long.

I was fast asleep in my castle one morning when Friday came running in.

"O master, master!" he cried, "a boat, a boat!" I jumped up and went out as quickly as could. I was in such haste that I forgot to carry my gun with me.

I looked toward the sea. About three miles from the shore I saw a strange boat coming to the island. It carried a leg-of-mutton sail and was coming swiftly with the wind. "Surely," I thought, "this is not the kind of boat that savages sail in." Then I saw that it was coming not from the open sea on my side of the island, but from around a point on the south shore.

I ran back to my castle and told Friday to stay inside and keep quiet till we could learn whether the people in the boat were friends or foes.

Then I climbed up to my lookout on the top of the great rock.

I looked out toward the south shore, and there I saw a ship lying at anchor. As nearly as I could guess, it was about five miles from my castle and at least three miles from the shore.

It looked just like an English ship, and the boat was surely an English longboat.

I cannot tell you how glad I was at the thought that some of my own countrymen were so near. Yet I felt strange fears, and so made up my mind to be very cautious.

In the first place, what business could an English ship have in these seas? The English had no lands in this part of the world. They would not come here to trade. There had been no storms to drive the vessel to this place.

The more I thought of the matter, the more I doubted. If these people were indeed English, they must be here for no good purpose.

By this time the boat was quite near the shore. I could see the men in it quite plainly. They looked like Englishmen.

As they came in the tide was at its highest, and so they ran the boat far up on the beach about half a mile from me.

I now counted eleven men, and all but three were armed with swords. As soon as the boat touched the land, the most of them jumped out.

Then I saw that the three unarmed men were prisoners. Their hands were tied behind them and they were closely guarded.

As they were led on shore, they seemed in great distress as though begging for their lives.

When Friday saw all this, he cried out to me, "O master! the white mans do just like savage mans with their prisoners." "Why, Friday," I said, "do you think they are going to eat them?" "Yes, yes," he answered, " they are going to eat them." The prisoners were led far up on the beach, and I expected every moment to see them killed.

But soon their guards seemed to change their minds. They talked together for a little while. Then they untied the prisoners' hands and let them go where they pleased. The seamen scattered, some going this way, some that, as though they wished to see the country. But the men who had been prisoners sat down on the ground and seemed very sad and full of despair.

I thought then of the time when I had first landed on that shore—how I had no hope, and how I gave myself up for lost.

As I have said, the tide was at its highest when the men came on shore. They rambled around till it had flowed out and left their boat high and dry on the sand.

They had left two men with the boat to guard it. But the weather being very warm, these men had fallen asleep.

When one of them awoke and found the water far out from the boat, he began to hello for help. All the men came running and tried to drag the boat out to the water.

But it was so heavy they could not move it. They tugged and pulled for a long time. Then I heard one of them shout: "Let her alone, boys! She'll float all right when the next tide comes up. With that they gave it up and all strolled out into the country again.

I PASS over some wonderful things that happened during my last year on the island. |überqueren||||||||||||| PASSEI ao lado de algumas coisas maravilhosas que aconteceram durante o meu último ano na ilha. Я ПРОПУСКАЮ деякі чудові речі, що сталися протягом мого останнього року на острові. For I must not make this story too long. Porque não devo tornar esta história demasiado longa. Тому що я не повинен робити цю історію надто довгою.

I was fast asleep in my castle one morning when Friday came running in. Uma manhã, estava a dormir profundamente no meu castelo quando Sexta-feira entrou a correr. Одного ранку я міцно спав у своєму замку, коли прибігла П'ятниця.

"O master, master!" "Ó mestre, mestre!" he cried, "a boat, a boat!" ele gritou, "um barco, um barco!" I jumped up and went out as quickly as could. Levantei-me e saí o mais depressa possível. I was in such haste that I forgot to carry my gun with me. ||||匆忙||||||||| ||||Eile||||||||| Estava com tanta pressa que me esqueci de levar a minha arma comigo.

I looked toward the sea. Olhei para o mar. About three miles from the shore I saw a strange boat coming to the island. |||||||||estranha||||| A cerca de três milhas da costa, vi um barco estranho a aproximar-se da ilha. It carried a leg-of-mutton sail and was coming swiftly with the wind. |||Bein||Beinahe.|||||schnell||| |||||||||avançando|||| Es trug ein Schenkelsegel und kam schnell mit dem Wind. Tinha uma vela de perna de carneiro e vinha rapidamente com o vento. Він мав вітрило з баранячої ноги і швидко мчав за вітром. 它扬起了一只羊腿帆，随着风迅速驶来。 "Surely," I thought, "this is not the kind of boat that savages sail in." ||pensei||||||||||| "De certeza", pensei, "que este não é o tipo de barco em que os selvagens navegam". “我想,” 我心里想，“这绝不是野蛮人乘坐的那种船。” Then I saw that it was coming not from the open sea on my side of the island, but from around a point on the south shore. Depois vi que não vinha do mar alto do meu lado da ilha, mas de um ponto na costa sul. Потім я побачив, що він долинає не з відкритого моря з мого боку острова, а з якоїсь точки на південному березі. 然后我看到它不是从我所在岛屿的开阔海域驶来，而是从南岸的一个岬角处驶来。

I ran back to my castle and told Friday to stay inside and keep quiet till we could learn whether the people in the boat were friends or foes. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||दुश्मन ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Feinde ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||inimigos Voltei a correr para o meu castelo e disse a Sexta-Feira para ficar lá dentro e ficar calado até sabermos se as pessoas no barco eram amigas ou inimigas. Я побіг до свого замку і наказав П'ятниці залишатися всередині і мовчати, поки ми не дізнаємося, чи були люди в човні друзями, чи ворогами. 我跑回我的城堡，告诉星期五待在里面保持安静，直到我们能确定船上的人是友是敌。

Then I climbed up to my lookout on the top of the great rock. Depois subi para o meu miradouro no topo da grande rocha. 然后我爬上了大岩石顶上的岗哨。

I looked out toward the south shore, and there I saw a ship lying at anchor. |||||||||||||||anclada Olhei para a margem sul e vi um navio ancorado. Я подивився на південний берег і побачив корабель, що стояв на якорі. 我朝南岸望去，在那里我看到一艘停泊的船。 As nearly as I could guess, it was about five miles from my castle and at least three miles from the shore. |||||schätzen|||||||||||||||| |||||||era|||||||||||||| Tanto quanto me foi possível adivinhar, ficava a cerca de cinco milhas do meu castelo e a pelo menos três milhas da costa. 据我估计，离我的城堡大约有五英里，离海岸至少有三英里。

It looked just like an English ship, and the boat was surely an English longboat. ||||||||||||||bote longo Parecia mesmo um navio inglês, e o barco era certamente um longboat inglês. 它看起来就像一艘英国船，船上肯定有一只英国长船。

I cannot tell you how glad I was at the thought that some of my own countrymen were so near. ||||||||||||||||同胞们||| Não consigo dizer-vos como me senti feliz ao pensar que alguns dos meus compatriotas estavam tão perto. 我无法告诉你我因为想到自己的同胞如此近而有多高兴。 Yet I felt strange fears, and so made up my mind to be very cautious. ||||||||||||||vorsichtig No entanto, senti estranhos receios e decidi ser muito cauteloso. 然而，我感到莫名的恐惧，所以下定决心要非常谨慎。

In the first place, what business could an English ship have in these seas? Em primeiro lugar, o que é que um navio inglês poderia fazer nestes mares? По-перше, який бізнес міг мати англійський корабель у цих морях? 首先，一艘英国船在这些海域有什么事情可做？ The English had no lands in this part of the world. 英国人在世界这个地方没有土地。 They would not come here to trade. Eles não viriam aqui para negociar. There had been no storms to drive the vessel to this place. ||||||||Schiff||| Não tinha havido tempestades para conduzir o navio até este local.

The more I thought of the matter, the more I doubted. ||||||Angelegenheit||||zweifelte Quanto mais pensava no assunto, mais duvidava. Чим більше я думав про це, тим більше сумнівався. If these people were indeed English, they must be here for no good purpose. |||||||||||||Zweck Se estas pessoas eram de facto inglesas, não deviam estar aqui para nada. Якщо ці люди справді були англійцями, то вони перебували тут без жодної доброї мети. 如果这些人确实是英国人，那么他们一定是出于不怀好意才到这里来的。

By this time the boat was quite near the shore. Nessa altura, o barco já estava bastante perto da costa. 这时候船已经非常靠近岸边了。 I could see the men in it quite plainly. ||||||||deutlich Conseguia ver claramente os homens que lá estavam. Я чітко бачила чоловіків у ньому. 我可以很清楚地看到里面的人。 They looked like Englishmen. Pareciam ingleses.

As they came in the tide was at its highest, and so they ran the boat far up on the beach about half a mile from me. |||||ज्वार का पानी||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||barco||||||||||| Quando chegaram, a maré estava no seu ponto mais alto e, por isso, levaram o barco até à praia, a cerca de meia milha de mim. 当他们靠岸时，潮水正处于最高潮，所以他们将船跑得离我大约半英里远的沙滩上。

I now counted eleven men, and all but three were armed with swords. Contava agora onze homens, e todos, exceto três, estavam armados com espadas. 我数了一下，有十一个人，除了三人外都拿着剑。 As soon as the boat touched the land, the most of them jumped out. Assim que o barco tocou em terra, a maior parte deles saltou para fora. 船一碰到陆地，他们大部分人就跳了出来。

Then I saw that the three unarmed men were prisoners. ||||||手无寸铁||| 然后我看到那三个手无寸铁的男人是囚犯。 Their hands were tied behind them and they were closely guarded. |||gebunden||||||streng bewacht|bewacht Tinham as mãos atadas atrás das costas e eram vigiados de perto. 他们被绑在身后，受到密切监视。

As they were led on shore, they seemed in great distress as though begging for their lives. |||被带领||岸上||||||||||| |||||||||||||betteln||| Ao serem levados para terra, pareciam estar em grande aflição, como se estivessem a implorar pela vida. Когда их вывели на берег, они, казалось, были в большом отчаянии, как будто умоляли сохранить свою жизнь. Коли їх вивели на берег, вони здавалися у великому скруті, ніби благали про життя. 当他们被带上岸时，他们看起来非常痛苦，仿佛在乞求自己的生命。

When Friday saw all this, he cried out to me, "O master! Quando Sexta-feira viu tudo isto, gritou-me: "Ó mestre! the white mans do just like savage mans with their prisoners." os homens brancos fazem o mesmo que os selvagens com os seus prisioneiros". 白人做的和野蛮人一样，对待他们的俘虏。" "Why, Friday," I said, "do you think they are going to eat them?" "Porquê, Sexta-feira", disse eu, "achas que eles os vão comer?" "Чому, П'ятнице, - запитав я, - ти думаєш, що вони їх з'їдять?" "为什么，星期五，我说，你认为他们要吃掉他们吗？" "Yes, yes," he answered, " they are going to eat them." "Sim, sim", respondeu, "eles vão comê-las". "是的，是的，"他回答道，"他们要把他们吃掉。" The prisoners were led far up on the beach, and I expected every moment to see them killed. |||geführt|||||||||||||| Os prisioneiros foram conduzidos para o alto da praia e eu esperava vê-los mortos a todo o momento. В'язнів вивели далеко на пляж, і я щомиті очікував, що їх вб'ють. 囚犯被带到了海滩上方，我每时每刻都在预料着他们会被杀害。

But soon their guards seemed to change their minds. Mas rapidamente os seus guardas pareceram mudar de ideias. 但很快，他们的看守似乎改变了主意。 They talked together for a little while. Conversaram durante algum tempo. 他们互相交谈了一会儿。 Then they untied the prisoners' hands and let them go where they pleased. ||losbanden||||||||||zufrieden Depois, desataram as mãos dos prisioneiros e deixaram-nos ir para onde quisessem. 然后他们解开了囚犯的双手，让他们随意离开。 The seamen scattered, some going this way, some that, as though they wished to see the country. |Die Matrosen|zerstreuten sich|||||||||||||| ||||||nesta direção|||||||||| Os marinheiros dispersam-se, uns por aqui, outros por ali, como se quisessem ver o país. Моряки розійшлися, деякі пішли в той бік, деякі в той, ніби хотіли побачити країну. 水手们四处散去，有些这样走，有些那样走，仿佛他们想要看看这个国家。 But the men who had been prisoners sat down on the ground and seemed very sad and full of despair. |||||||||||||||||||Verzweiflung Mas os homens que tinham sido prisioneiros sentaram-se no chão e pareciam muito tristes e cheios de desespero. Але чоловіки, які були в'язнями, сіли на землю і виглядали дуже сумними і сповненими відчаю. 但那些曾经被囚禁的人坐在地上，看起来非常悲伤和绝望。

I thought then of the time when I had first landed on that shore—how I had no hope, and how I gave myself up for lost. |||||||||||||||||||和||||||| Pensei então no momento em que desembarquei pela primeira vez naquela praia - como não tinha esperança e como me dei por perdido. Я подумав про той час, коли я вперше висадився на цей берег - як я не мав надії і як я віддався на волю долі. 那时我想起了我第一次登陆那片海岸时的情景——我毫无希望，放弃了自己。

As I have said, the tide was at its highest when the men came on shore. |||||||||höchsten Punkt|||||| Como já referi, a maré estava no seu máximo quando os homens chegaram a terra. 正如我所说，当那些人上岸时，潮水正处于最高潮。 They rambled around till it had flowed out and left their boat high and dry on the sand. |herumwanderten|||||||||||||||| ||||||esvaziado||||||||||| Andaram de um lado para o outro até que a água se esvaiu e deixaram o barco na areia. Вони блукали, поки вода не витекла, і залишили човен на піску високим і сухим. 他们四处游荡，直到潮水退去，让他们的船搁浅在沙滩上。

They had left two men with the boat to guard it. Tinham deixado dois homens com o barco para o guardar. 他们留下了两个人看守船只。 But the weather being very warm, these men had fallen asleep. Mas como o tempo estava muito quente, estes homens tinham adormecido. 但天气很炎热，这两个人已经睡着了。

When one of them awoke and found the water far out from the boat, he began to hello for help. 当||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||um Hilfe rufen|| Quando um deles acordou e encontrou a água muito longe do barco, começou a gritar por socorro. Коли один з них прокинувся і побачив, що вода знаходиться далеко від човна, він почав кликати на допомогу. 当其中一个醒来发现船远离水边时，他开始大声呼救。 All the men came running and tried to drag the boat out to the water. Todos os homens vieram a correr e tentaram arrastar o barco para a água. 所有人都跑过来试图把船拖到水里。

But it was so heavy they could not move it. Mas era tão pesada que não a podiam mover. 但船太重了，他们搬不动。 They tugged and pulled for a long time. |zogen||zogen|||| Puxaram e puxaram durante muito tempo. 他们使劲拉了很长时间。 Then I heard one of them shout: "Let her alone, boys! Depois ouvi um deles gritar: "Deixem-na em paz, rapazes! Затем я услышал, как один из них крикнул: «Оставьте ее, мальчики! 然后我听到其中一个人喊道：“让她一个人待着，伙计们！ She'll float all right when the next tide comes up. Ela vai flutuar bem quando a próxima maré subir. Она будет хорошо плавать, когда придет следующий прилив. Коли прийде наступний приплив, вона буде в порядку. 等下一个潮水涨上来的时候，她会漂起来的。 With that they gave it up and all strolled out into the country again. ||||||||spazierten||||| Assim, desistiram e voltaram todos a passear pelo campo. С этими словами они отказались от этого и снова отправились в деревню. 于是他们放弃了，重新走出去漫步在乡村里。
