当我去参观岛的其他地方时,我在岛上已有10个月了,在这期间,我为我的洞穴、我的房子、我的篱笆忙活,现在我可以进一步了解该岛其他地方的情况了。
First,I walked along the side of a little river. There,I found open ground without trees. Later,I came to more trees with many different fruits. I decided to take a lot of the fruit,and to put it to dry in the sun for a time. Then I could keep it for many months.
首先,我沿着一条小河岸前行。那儿,我发现一片没有树木的开阔地。随后,我到达了一片结着各种水果的树林。我决定多摘些果子把它们在太阳下放一阵晒干。然后就可以保存很多个月了。
That night I went to sleep in a tree for the second time,and the next day I went on with my journey. Soon I came to an opening in the hills. In front of me,everything was green,and there were flowers everywhere. There were also a lot of differ-ent birds and animals. I saw that my house was on the worst side of the island. But I didn’t want to move from there. It was my home now. I stayed away for three days,and then I came home. But I often went back to the other,greener side of the island.
那个晚上,我第二次睡在了树上,第二天便又继续我的旅行。不久,我到了这个小山的开阔地。在我面前,一片郁郁葱葱,鲜花遍野。还有很多各种各样的鸟类和动物。我明白我的房子是在这个岛的最糟的一侧。但我并不打算从那儿迁移,那是我的家。我在外呆了三天,然后回了家。但我经常回到这岛的另外的绿色的一边。
And so my life went on. Every month I learnt to do or to make something new. But I had troubles and accidents too. Once there was a terrible storm with very heavy rain. The roof of my cave fell in,and nearly killed me!I had to build it up again with many pieces of wood.
我的生活继续着。每个月我学会干点或制造点新的东西。但也总有麻烦和灾祸。一次一场夹着大雨的风暴来临,我的山洞的顶层塌了下来,差点就送了我的命!我不得不用很多木材把它重新建好。
I had a lot of food now. I cooked it over a fire or dried it in the sun. So I always had meat during the rainy months when I could not go out with a gun. I learnt to make pots to keep my food in. But I wanted very much to make a harder,stronger pot—a pot that would not break in a fire. I tried many times,but I could not do it. Then one day I was lucky. I made some new pots and put them in a very hot fire. They changed colour,but did not break. I left them there for many hours,and when they were cold again,I found that they were hard and strong. That night I was very happy. I had hot water for the first time on the island.
