Feel at ease? Lust for profit? Manic? Ask for it? Foresee, foresee? Tears? Worried? Seriously convincing? Suicide? Deeply worried
The first chapter of Robinson Crusoe is a very good sentence: "I acquiesced in the arrangement of God's will, and now I begin to have this arrangement and believe that everything is the best."
"The fear of danger is more terrible than the danger itself!"
"There are some good things in the world. For us, there is no other benefit except use."
"I have seen so much land and sea. What are they? Where did it come from? What are I and all other creatures, wild and domesticated, humans and animals? Where did it come from? "
The good words in Robinson Crusoe are stranded, covered, swallowed, smoke stranded, covered, swallowed, smoke filled, swimming, bowing, confessing, panic, complacency, self-denial, jealousy, uneasiness, seriousness, anxiety, unheard of, rising irrepressibly, and getting weaker and weaker. Unaccompanied, sorry, listening carefully, drifting with the flow, ecstatic and extremely sad, overjoyed, isolated, exposed to the sun and rain,
A good word in Robinson Crusoe 1 When the creator rules mankind, it is really a great good thing to limit human knowledge and knowledge to a very narrow range.
I feel that my future is bleak. Because, I was blown to this desert island by a violent storm, which is hundreds of nautical miles away from the original route and the normal trade route of human beings. I think, this is entirely out of providence, let me go, but I spent the rest of my life in desolation.
3. Sometimes I can't help thinking, why does God humiliate the creature he created, making him so unfortunate, so isolated, so depressed and lonely! Under such circumstances, what reason do we have to think that living with us is a gift?
But I'm not interested in anything but sailing.
But as soon as the foremast of the ship was cut down, the mainmast shook out of control with the wind, and the ship shook violently, so they had to cut down the mainmast. This only leaves an empty deck.
I have been adrift at sea for so many days, which is really enough. I just rest quietly for a few days and reflect on the dangers of the past.
7. When you start something, it is really stupid not to calculate the cost in advance and make a correct estimate of your own strength in advance.
During this time, I worked hard, although the rain delayed me for many days, even weeks. I feel that the fence is not done well, and I feel insecure living in it. I can't believe the labor I spend in every job I do.
9. Ordinary people often have a common fault, that is, they are often dissatisfied with the living environment arranged by God and nature for them. In my opinion, at least half of their pain is caused by this common disease.
10. I completely ignored my father's wishes, even disobeyed his orders, completely ignored my mother's entreaties and my friends' discouragement. This nature of mine seems to be doomed to my unfortunate fate in the future.
1 1. I often sit down to eat with gratitude and admire the goodness of God, because he has given me rich virtues in the wilderness. I learned to pay attention to the bright side of my situation and pay less attention to its dark side; Think more about what I like and less about what I lack. This attitude sometimes makes me feel a kind of heartfelt comfort, which I can hardly express in words. ...
12. I think that our dissatisfaction with what we need is all because people lack gratitude for what they have.
13. In hindsight, my father's last words became my later predictions; Of course, I believe that my father himself may not have realized this foresight at that time.
14. I noticed that my father burst into tears when he said these words, especially when he talked about my eldest brother's corpse battlefield and my regret that I had nowhere to call for help in the future. I was even more heartbroken and had to interrupt the conversation. Finally, he told me that he was too worried to go on.
15. A person always looks forward to disaster, which is even more bitter than encountering disaster, especially when one can't get rid of this expectation and this fear.
16. Alas! What an absurd decision people made in fear! Whenever reason provides them with ways to protect themselves, once fear prevails, they don't know how to use them.
17. It can be seen that ordinary people can't understand the benefits of the original environment unless they see the worse environment with their own eyes; If you have to run out of water, you won't know how to cherish what you once enjoyed.
18. Whenever I talk about these topics, everyone listens carefully; Especially the sale of black slaves, aroused their interest.
19. At that time, the business of selling slaves had just begun. Merchants engaged in slave trade must sign contracts to ensure the supply of slaves to Spanish colonies and Portuguese colonies, and must obtain the approval of the Spanish king or Portuguese king. The slave trade is a monopoly trade, so the number of slaves imported from Brazil is small and the price is particularly expensive.
20. I have made great efforts to move all my belongings, all my food, ammunition, weapons and supplies one by one to the fence or to this fortress.
2 1. I set up a big tent for myself to keep out the rain, because it often rains cats and dogs here at this time of year. I made a double tent; That is to say, a small one inside, a big one outside, and a big tent with a big tarpaulin on top.
22. Especially in this unfortunate situation, God guided me to know him and prayed for his blessing, which gave me great comfort. This kind of happiness is enough to compensate for all the misfortunes I have suffered and may suffer.
23. Then, I used the cable cut off from the ship, layered between two rows of stakes along the semicircle until the top, and inserted some stakes two and a half feet high to support the cable, just like the horizontal tea on the pillar. This fence is so strong that neither man nor beast can rush in or climb over it.
24. This project cost me a lot of time and labor, especially when I have to cut thick branches from the forest to make stakes, then transport them to the grass and drive them into the soil one by one, which is particularly laborious and time-consuming.
25. When I woke up, it was already dawn. At this point, the storm has passed, the weather is fine, and the waves on the sea are not as big as before. What surprised me most, however, was that the stranded ship was washed out of the beach by the tide at night and rushed to the rock where I had been hit before.
26. Now the ship is only about one nautical mile from the shore, and it is still parked there. I think if I can get on a big ship, I can take out some necessities of daily life.
27. It can be said that this is the only successful voyage in my life adventure. This is entirely due to my friend the captain's integrity and selflessness. Under his guidance, I also learned some mathematical knowledge and navigation methods, learned to keep a log and observe astronomy. In a word, I learned some basic knowledge of being a sailor. He is willing to teach me and I am willing to learn from him.
28. In a word, this voyage made me both a sailor and a businessman. On this voyage, I brought back five pounds and nine ounces of gold sand; After I returned to London, I got back about 300 pounds and made a lot of money. This made me more complacent and ruined my life.
29. Because, I find that there will always be heavy rain at some time in a year.
Although my mother refused my request to my face and said that she didn't want to convey my words to my father, I heard afterwards that she told my father exactly what we talked about. Father is very worried. He sighed to his mother and said that if the child could stay at home, he might be very happy; But if he wants to go overseas, he will become the most unfortunate person in the world, so he can't agree to my going out.
3 1. At this time, the storm is blowing harder and harder, the sea is surging and the waves are sky-high. I have never seen such a scene. But compared with the roaring sea I saw many times later, it was really a drop in the ocean; Even if it is compared with what I saw a few days later, it can't be compared.
32. However, for a young man who was sailing for the first time, it was enough to scare me, because I knew nothing about sailing. I feel that the Haihengbier River, also known as Humber River, originates in the middle of England and flows into the North Sea.
33. There is always a hidden motivation in human feelings. Once this motivation is attracted by a visible goal, and disaster is attracted by an invisible but imaginary goal, it will push our souls to pounce on that goal with a brave force. If we can't reach our goal, it will be unbearable for us.
As the saying goes, get rich quickly, but trouble comes. This is exactly what happened to me. The next year, my plantation was a great success. I collected 50 bundles of tobacco leaves from my own field, which not only supplied local needs, but also had a lot. These fifty bundles of tobacco each weigh 100 pounds; I dried them and stored them until the merchant ship came back from Lisbon.
At this time, with the development of business and rich resources, my mind began to be filled with all kinds of unrealistic plans and dreams. This wrong idea often destroys the cleverest businessmen.
36. According to the above conditions, I went to find a suitable place and found a flat land beside a small hillside. The hillside near the ground is steep and straight, just like a wall, and neither man nor beast can attack me from there. On the rock, there is a sunken place that looks like the entrance of a cave, but there is no cave in it.
37. All day, I was heartbroken by my dismal situation. I have no food, no house, no clothes, no weapons, no place to escape, no hope of being rescued, only a dead end. I was either swallowed by wild animals and full of savages, or starved to death for lack of food.
As night fell, I slept in a tree, afraid of being eaten by wild animals. Although it rained all night, I slept soundly.
39. Although the wind dropped slightly, the ship was stranded in the sand and could not move, so the situation remained very critical. We can only try our best to save ourselves. Before the storm came, a boat was towed at the stern. However, the strong wind blew the boat onto the rudder of the big ship and broke it. Then it was swept into the sea. I don't know if it sank or drifted away. So we must forget it.
40. There is a boat on board, but I don't know how to put it into the sea. But now we don't have time to discuss this problem, because we think that the big ship will be smashed all the time. Some people even say that the ship is actually broken.
4 1. Unexpectedly, we were suddenly attacked by a strong hurricane. The hurricane began to blow from the southeast, then turned to the northwest, and finally blew a strong northeast wind. The gale blew for 12 days, leaving us at a loss. We have to let the ship drift with the wind and let fate and wind be at our mercy. Needless to say, in these twelve days, I was worried about being swallowed up by the big waves every day, and no one else on board expected to live.
42. All the work is particularly difficult because of the lack of appropriate tools. It took me almost a whole year to build my Xiao Mu fence or fence. As far as cutting wooden stakes is concerned, wooden stakes are very heavy, so I can only try my best to choose movable ones. I spent a long time cutting down trees in the forest, and even spent more time moving back to my residence.
43. Sometimes, it takes me two days to cut a wooden stake, then I bring it back and drive it into the ground on the third day. As a tool for piling, I found a heavy piece of wood at first; Later, I thought of an iron bar for hanging goods; However, even with iron bars, piling is still very hard and troublesome.
Whenever I think of my present situation, I always regret it. There is hardly anyone else to talk to except occasionally interacting with neighbors. I have nothing to do but work hard with my own hands.
45. I always tell myself that I am like being abandoned on a desert island, lonely and lonely. However, when people compare their present situation with those who are in a worse situation, God often makes them change their position so that they can experience the happiness of previous lives with their own personal experiences.
46. It is very fair for God to do so.
47. As an unfilial son, God punished me for betraying my parents so quickly and failed to fulfill my due obligations. God is real, it's true.
48. I have a neighbor who is Portuguese and was born in Lisbon, but his parents are British. His name is Wells. At that time, his situation was similar to mine. I call him a neighbor because the plantations of our two families are very close, and we often come and go. Neither of us has much capital.
49. In the first two years, we only planted some food to make a living. But soon, we began to develop, and the plantations we operated began to go on track. Therefore, in the third year, we planted some tobacco; At the same time, we each bought a large piece of land and planted sugar cane next year. However, we all feel a lack of labor.
50. At this moment, it occurred to me that I really shouldn't give Zuo Li to others, so I regret it now.
