《无极》亲热戏真实性和含义 But fear, that blind, useless passion, worked another way, andthrew us into the vapours; it bewildered our understandings, andset the imagination at work to form a thousand terrible things thatperhaps might never happen. We first supposed, as indeed everybodyhad related to us, that the seamen on board the English and Dutchships, but especially the Dutch, were so enraged at the name of apirate, and especially at our beating off their boats and escaping,that they would not give themselves leave to inquire whether wewere pirates or no, but would execute us off-hand, without givingus any room for a defence. We reflected that there really was somuch apparent evidence before them, that they would scarce inquireafter any more; as, first, that the ship was certainly the same,and that some of the seamen among them knew her, and had been onboard her; and, secondly, that when we had intelligence at theriver of Cambodia that they were coming down to examine us, wefought their boats and fled. Therefore we made no dou
Now, to go any one of these journeys in the winter would have beenpreposterous; for as to Dantzic, the Baltic would have been frozenup and I could not get passage; and to go by land in thosecountries was far less safe than among the Mogul Tartars; likewise,as to Archangel in October, all the ships would be gone fromthence, and even the merchants who dwell there in summer retiresouth to Moscow in the winter, when the ships are gone; so that Icould have nothing but extremity of cold to encounter, with ascarcity of provisions, and must lie in an empty town all thewinter. Therefore, upon the whole, I thought it much my better wayto let the caravan go, and make provision to winter where I was, atTobolski, in Siberia, in the latitude of about sixty degrees, whereI was sure of three things to wear out a cold winter with, viz.plenty of provisions, such as the country afforded, a warm house,with fuel enough, and excellent company.《无极》亲热戏真实性和含义 We landed without any noise, and divided our men into two bodies,whereof the boatswain commanded one and I the other. We neithersaw nor heard anybody stir when we landed: and we marched up, onebody at a distance from another, to the place. At first we couldsee nothing, it being very dark; till by-and-by our boatswain, wholed the first party, stumbled and fell over a dead body. This madethem halt a while; for knowing by the circumstances that they wereat the place where the Indians had stood, they waited for my comingup there. We concluded to halt till the moon began to rise, whichwe knew would be in less than an hour, when we could easily discernthe havoc we had made among them. We told thirty-two bodies uponthe ground, whereof two were not quite dead; some had an arm andsome a leg shot off, and one his head; those that were wounded, wesupposed, they had carried away. When we had made, as I thought, afull discovery of all we could come to the knowledge of, I resolvedon going on board; but the boatswa

第3章 轰散劫云！
Having thus brought the affairs of the island to a narrow compass,I was preparing to go on board the ship, when the young man I hadtaken out of the famished ship's company came to me, and told me heunderstood I had a clergyman with me, and that I had caused theEnglishmen to be married to the savages; that he had a match too,which he desired might be finished before I went, between twoChristians, which he hoped would not be disagreeable to me.
Wife. - But why God let you do so? Why He no makee you good live?
Upon this discourse, however, and their promising, as above, toendeavour to persuade their wives to embrace Christianity, hemarried the two other couple; but Will Atkins and his wife were notyet come in. After this, my clergyman, waiting a while, wascurious to know where Atkins was gone, and turning to me, said, "Ientreat you, sir, let us walk out of your labyrinth here and look;I daresay we shall find this poor man somewhere or other talkingseriously to his wife, and teaching her already something ofreligion." I began to be of the same mind; so we went outtogether, and I carried him a way which none knew but myself, andwhere the trees were so very thick that it was not easy to seethrough the thicket of leaves, and far harder to see in than to seeout: when, coming to the edge of the wood, I saw Atkins and histawny wife sitting under the shade of a bush, very eager indiscourse: I stopped short till my clergyman came up to me, andthen having showed him where they were, we stood and looked verysteadily at
The women were easily made sensible of the meaning of the thing,and were very well satisfied with it, as, indeed, they had reasonto be: so they failed not to attend all together at my apartmentnext morning, where I brought out my clergyman; and though he hadnot on a minister's gown, after the manner of England, or the habitof a priest, after the manner of France, yet having a black vestsomething like a cassock, with a sash round it, he did not lookvery unlike a minister; and as for his language, I was hisinterpreter. But the seriousness of his behaviour to them, and thescruples he made of marrying the women, because they were notbaptized and professed Christians, gave them an exceeding reverencefor his person; and there was no need, after that, to inquirewhether he was a clergyman or not. Indeed, I was afraid hisscruples would have been carried so far as that he would not havemarried them at all; nay, notwithstanding all I was able to say tohim, he resisted me, though modestly, yet very steadily, and atl
Our men, seeing so many of them, began to be frightened, for we laybut in an ill posture to fight, and cried out to us to know whatthey should do. I immediately called to the men that worked uponthe stages to slip them down, and get up the side into the ship,and bade those in the boat to row round and come on board. The fewwho were on board worked with all the strength and hands we had tobring the ship to rights; however, neither the men upon the stagesnor those in the boats could do as they were ordered before theCochin Chinese were upon them, when two of their boats boarded ourlongboat, and began to lay hold of the men as their prisoners.
As this is one of the singularities of China, so they may beallowed to excel in it; but I am very sure they excel in theiraccounts of it; for they told me such incredible things of theirperformance in crockery-ware, for such it is, that I care not torelate, as knowing it could not be true. They told me, inparticular, of one workman that made a ship with all its tackle andmasts and sails in earthenware, big enough to carry fifty men. Ifthey had told me he launched it, and made a voyage to Japan in it,I might have said something to it indeed; but as it was, I knew thewhole of the story, which was, in short, that the fellow lied: soI smiled, and said nothing to it. This odd sight kept me two hoursbehind the caravan, for which the leader of it for the day fined meabout the value of three shillings; and told me if it had beenthree days' journey without the wall, as it was three days' within,he must have fined me four times as much, and made me ask pardonthe next council-day. I promised to be more orderly; a

The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoeby Daniel Defoe
Well, as Will Atkins and his wife were gone, our business there wasover, so we went back our own way; and when we came back, we foundthem waiting to be called in. Observing this, I asked my clergymanif we should discover to him that we had seen him under the bush ornot; and it was his opinion we should not, but that we should talkto him first, and hear what he would say to us; so we called him inalone, nobody being in the place but ourselves, and I began byasking him some particulars about his parentage and education. Hetold me frankly enough that his father was a clergyman who wouldhave taught him well, but that he, Will Atkins, despised allinstruction and correction; and by his brutish conduct cut thethread of all his father's comforts and shortened his days, forthat he broke his heart by the most ungrateful, unnatural returnfor the most affectionate treatment a father ever gave.
