Soon after that he married my mother who was English.

此后不久，他与我母亲结了婚。我母亲是英国人。

Her family name was Robinson so when I was born they called me Robinson after her.

娘家姓鲁宾孙，因此，我出生后他们都称呼我鲁宾孙，沿用了我母亲的姓氏。

My father did well in his business and I went to a good school.

我父亲在生意上做得很出色，并且我也进了一所好学校。

He wanted me to get a good job and live a quiet com fortable life.

But I did not want that.

但是我不希望如此。

I wanted adventure and an exciting life.

我喜欢冒险和刺激的生活。

' I want to be a sailor and go to sea ' I told my mother and father.

“我想成为一名水手去航行，”我告诉父母亲。

They were very unhappy about this.

' Please do not go ' my father said. ' You will not be happy you know.

“不要去，”父亲说。“你不会幸福的。 你知道。”

Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life. ' And be because I loved him and he was unhappy I tried to forget about the sea.

“水手过着艰苦而且危险的生活。”因为我爱父亲，他不高兴，我便试图忘掉大海。

But I could not forget and about a year later I saw a friend in town.

但我不可能忘掉，大约一年后，我在镇里遇到一个朋友。

His father had a ship and my friend saidto me ' We 're sailing to London tomorrow.

他的父亲有一艘船，我的朋友对我说，“明天我们航行去伦敦。”

Why do not you come with us ' And so on September 1st，1651，I went to Hull and the next day we sailed for London.

你为什么不和我们一起走呢？于是，1651年9月1日，我到了赫尔港，第二天我们驶向伦敦。

But a few days later there was a strong wind.

但是，几天后，刮起了狂风。

The sea was rough and dangerous and the ship went up and down up and down.

“好了，鲍伯，”我的朋友笑着说。“现在你感觉如何？这风并不太令人讨厌。”

' ' What ' I cried. ' It was a terrible storm. ' ' Oh that was not a storm ' my friend answered.

我不愿意我的朋友和家人嘲笑我!我在伦敦停留了一段时间，但我仍然想去航行。

So when the captain of a ship asked me to gowith him to Guinea in Africa I agreed.

所以，当一位船长要求我和他一起去非洲的几内亚时，我答应了。

And so I went to sea for the second time.

于是，我第二次去航海。

It was a good ship and everything went well at first but I was very ill again.

Chapter 2 Down the coast of Africa

第2章 南下非洲海岸

For two long years I lived the life of a slave. I worked in escape，but it was never possible.

两年多的时间里，我过着奴隶的生活，我在屋子里、花园里干活，每天都计划着逃跑，但一直没能成功。

I thought about it day and night. My master liked to go fishing in a little boat，and he al-ways took me with him.

我日夜思考着逃跑的事。我的主人喜欢乘小船去钓鱼，而且总是带上我。

A man called Moely，and a young boy also went with us.

一个名叫莫雷的男人及一个小男孩也总跟随着我们。

One day my master said to us，'Some of my friends want to go fishing tomorrow. Get the boat ready.

一天主人对我们说：“我有些朋友明天想去钓鱼，把船给准备好。”

So we put a lot of food and drink on the boat，and the next morning，we waited for my master and his friends.

于是，我们搬了很多食物和饮料到船上，在第二天早上，我们等候着主人和他的朋友。

But when my master arrived，he was alone.

但主人来时却是他独自一人。

'My friends don't want to go fishing today，'he said to me. 'But you go with Moely and the boy，and catch some fish for our supper tonight. '

“我的朋友今天不想去钓鱼了，”他对我说，“但你和莫雷及这孩子去为我们今天的晚餐捕些鱼来。”

'Yes，master，'I answered quietly，but inside I was excited. 'Perhaps now I can escape，'I said to myself.

“是，主人。”我平静地回答，但我内心很激动。心想，“也许这回我可以逃脱了。”

My master went back to his friends and we took the boat out to sea.

主人回到他的朋友们那儿去了，我们坐船出了海。

For a time we fished quietly，and then I moved carefully behind Moely and knocked him into the water.

静静地钓了一阵鱼，然后我小心翼翼地移到莫雷的身后把他推到了海里。

'Swim！'I cried. 'Swim to the shore！'

“游回去，”我大声喊着“朝岸上游！”

My master liked to shoot seabirds and so there were guns on the boat.

我的主人喜欢打海鸟，所以有几只枪在船上。

Quickly，I took one of these guns. Moely was swim－ming after the boat and I shouted to him：

我迅速地抓过一支枪，莫雷正跟在船后面游，我朝他叫道：

Go back to the shore！You can swim there—it's not too far.

“回到岸上去！你可以游到那儿，这儿离海岸不太远。

I won't hurt you，but if you come near the boat，I'll shoot you through the head！

我不会伤害你，但如果你一靠近这只船，我就会打穿你的睑袋！”

'So Moely turned，and swam back to the shore as quickly as he could.

于是，莫雷转过身尽他最快的速度游回岸上去了。

Then I said to the boy，'Xury，if you help me，I'll be a good friend to you.

然后，我对这小孩说：“苏里，如果你帮我，我会是你的好朋友，

If you don't help me，I'll push you into the sea too. '

如果你不帮我，我同样会把你丢到海里去。”

But Xury was happy to help me. 'I'll go all over the world with you，'he cried.

但苏里很乐意帮助我。“我愿意跟着你走遍世界，”他大声说。

I wanted to sail to the Canary Islands，but I was afraid to go too far from the shore.

我想驶向加纳利岛，但是不敢远离海岸。

It was only a small boat. And so we sailed on south for some days.

这只是一只小船。因此我们向南航行了几天。

We had very little water，and it was dangerous country here，with many wild animals.

我们只有很少的水，这儿是危险的国度，有许多野生动物。

We were afraid，but we often had to go on shore to get more water.

我们害怕，但是我们常常不得不上岸去取水。

Once I used a gun to shoot a wild animal.

有一次我用枪射死了一只野兽。

I don't know what animal it was，but it made a good meal.

For about ten or twelve days we sailed on south，down the coast of Africa.

沿着非洲海岸我们朝南航行了大约10天至12天，

Then one day we saw some people on the shore—strange，wild people，who did not look friendly.

随后一天我们看到岸上有些人——古怪的野人，他们看起来并不友善，

By now we had very little food，and We really needed help. we were afraid，but we had to go on shore.

那时我们的食物很少了，我们实在需要帮助，我们害怕，但我们不得不上岸。

At first，they were afraid of us，too. Perhaps white people never visited this coast.

开始，他们也害怕我们。或许白人从没有访问过这海岸。

We did not speak their language，of course，so we used our hands and faces to show that we were hungry.

当然，我们不会说他们的语言，我们只好用手势和脸部表情来表明我们很饿。

They came with food for us，but then they moved away quickly.

他们把食物搬给我们，随即迅速地离开。

We carried the food to our boat，and they watched us.

我们把食物搬上船，他们瞧着我们。

I tried to thank them，but I had nothing to give them.

我试图感谢他们，却没有什么东西可以送给他们。

Just then two big wild cats came down to the shore from the mountains.

正在这时候，两只大野猫从山上窜到海边来。

I think they were leopards.

我想它们是豹子。

The people were afraid of these wild cats，and the women cried out. Quickly，

那些人们害怕这些野猫，那些妇女们尖叫起来。

I took a gun，and shot one of the animals.

很快地，我拿起一枝枪，击中了其中一只野兽。

The second wild cat ran back up into the mountains.

另外一只跑回了山里。

Guns were new to these African people，and they were afraid of the loud noise and the smoke.

枪对这些非洲居民来说很新奇，他们害怕这轰响的声音与烟雾。

But they were happy about the dead wild cat.

但他们对死的野猫很感兴趣。

I gave them the meat of the dead animal，and they gave us more food and water.

我送给他们这只死兽的肉，他们给了我们更多的食物和水。

We now had a lot of food and water，and we sailed on.

现在我们有了很多的食物和水，我们继续航行。

Eleven days later we came near the Cape Verde Islands.

11天后我们接近佛得角群岛。

We could see them，but we couldn't get near because there was no wind. We waited.

我们可以看见它们，但由于没有风我们不能靠近。我们等候着。

Suddenly Xury called to me，'Look，a ship！'

突然，苏里对我叫着，“看哪，一只船！”

He was right！We called and shouted and sailed our little boat as fast as we could.

他是对的！我们叫喊着并且尽可能快地划着小船。

But the ship did not see us. Then I re-membered the guns which made a lot of smoke.

但是那只船并没看到我们。这时我想起枪可以产生很多烟雾。

A few minutes later the ship saw us and turned.

几分钟后那只船看到了我们并且转了过来。

When we were on the ship，the Portuguese captain listened to my story.

等我们上了他们的船，葡萄牙船长倾听了我的故事。

He was going to Brazil and agreed to help me，but he wanted nothing for his help.

他正要去巴西并且答应帮助我，但他对我的帮助不要任何偿报。

'No，'he said，when I tried to pay him. 'Perhaps，one day，someone will help me when I need it. '

当我试图付钱给他时，他说：“不，也许，有一天，当我需要帮助时会有人帮助我。

'We're going to Africa to do business. Why don't you come with us？We'll all be rich after this journey！'

海浪似乎极力地想把船击成粉碎，我们只有很少的时间了。

Quickly，we put a boat into the sea and got off the ship.

迅速地，我们往海里放下小艇，离开了船。

But the sea was very rough and our little boat could not live for long in that wild water.

Factories Turn To Voluntary Workers As Mask Production Stepped Up

On Jan 28, the fourth day of Spring Festival, a group of 120 volunteers gathered at Shenghui Plastic Packing Co in the Shanghai Hangzhou Bay Economic and Technical Development Park to undergo training before helping pack facemasks needed in the fight against the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Shanghai is facing a shortage of masks, as stocks have flown off the shelves and factories have been unable to produce new ones quickly enough, because most workers returned to their hometowns for the holiday.

On Jan 27, in a bid to meet the massive demand, the park's management issued an emergency request via WeChat to recruit volunteers to help pack masks. A team of 120 was formed in less than a day.

One volunteer said: "I have been sitting on a stool for four hours and continuously packing masks. I'm very tired and have backache, but I'm so proud of our hard work."

Other factories around the city also restarted their operations early during the holiday to cater to the demand for masks.

Meidikang, a medical supplies company in Chedun Town, Songjiang district, resumed operations on 11 of its production lines by Jan 27, producing some 500,000 masks per day.

Wang Lihua, the company's deputy general manager, told Xinmin Evening News in Shanghai that it has been relying on the help of volunteers during manpower shortages.

Since Lunar New Year's Eve on Jan 24, a team of volunteers comprising representatives from urban management, Party members and cadres from Chedun town have been helping with the production and packaging of masks at Meidikang.

Wang, who arrives at the factory at 7 am and returns home after 11 pm every day, told the newspaper,"Although Spring Festival was difficult, the more masks we produce, the sooner people can get them."
