Robinson
Crusoe
is
a
youth
of
about
eighteen
years
old
who
resides
in
Hull,
England.
Although
his
father
wishes
him
to
become
a
lawyer,
Crusoe
dreams
of
going
on
sea
voyages.
He
disregards
the
fact
that
his
two
older
brothers
are
gone
because
of
their
need
for
adventure.
His
father
cautions
that
a
middle-class
existence
is
the
most
stable.
Robinson
ignores
him.
When
his
parents
refuse
to
let
him
take
at
least
one
journey,
he
runs
away
with
a
friend
and
secures
free
passage
to
London.
Misfortune
begins
immediately,
in
the
form
of
rough
weather.
The
ship
is
forced
to
land
at
Yarmouth.
When
Crusoe's
friend
learns
the
circumstances
under
which
he
left
his
family,
he
becomes
angry
and
tells
him
that
he
should
have
never
come
to
the
sea.
They
part,
and
Crusoe
makes
his
way
to
London
via
land.
He
thinks
briefly
about
going
home,
but
cannot
stand
to
be
humiliated.
He
manages
to
find
another
voyage
headed
to
Guiana.
Once
there,
he
wants
to
become
a
trader.
On
the
way,
the
ship
is
attacked
by
Turkish
pirates,
who
bring
the
crew
and
passengers
into
the
Moorish
port
of
Sallee.
Robinson
is
made
a
slave.
For
two
years
he
plans
an
escape.
An
opportunity
is
presented
when
he
is
sent
out
with
two
Moorish
youths
to
go
fishing.
Crusoe
throws
one
overboard,
and
tells
the
other
one,
called
Xury,
that
he
may
stay
if
he
is
faithful.
They
anchor
on
what
appears
to
be
uninhabited
land.
Soon
they
see
that
black
people
live
there.
These
natives
are
very
friendly
to
Crusoe
and
Xury.
At
one
point,
the
two
see
a
Portuguese
ship
in
the
distance.
They
manage
to
paddle
after
it
and
get
the
attention
of
those
on
board.
The
captain
is
kind
and
says
he
will
take
them
aboard
for
free
and
bring
them
to
Brazil.
Robinson
goes
to
Brazil
and
leaves
Xury
with
the
captain.
The
captain
and
a
widow
in
England
are
Crusoe's
financial
guardians.
In
the
new
country,
Robinson
observes
that
much
wealth
comes
from
plantations.
He
resolves
to
buy
one
for
himself.
After
a
few
years,
he
has
some
partners,
and
they
are
all
doing
very
well
financially.
Crusoe
is
presented
with
a
new
pro
begin
a
trading
business.
These
men
want
to
trade
slaves,
and
they
want
Robinson
to
be
the
master
of
the
tradepost.
Although
he
knows
he
has
enough
money,
Crusoe
decides
to
make
the
voyage.
A
terrible
shipwreck
occurs
and
Robinson
is
the
only
survivor.
He
manages
to
make
it
to
the
shore
of
an
island.
Robinson
remains
on
the
island
for
twenty-seven
years.
He
is
able
to
take
many
provisions
from
the
ship.
In
that
time,
he
recreates
his
English
life,
building
homes,
necessities,
learning
how
to
cook,
raise
goats
and
crops.
He
is
at
first
very
miserable,
but
embraces
religion
as
a
balm
for
his
unhappiness.
He
is
able
to
convince
himself
that
he
lives
a
much
better
life
here
than
he
did
in
Europe--much
more
simple,
much
less
wicked.
He
comes
to
appreciate
his
sovereignty
over
the
entire
island.
One
time
he
tries
to
use
a
boat
to
explore
the
rest
of
the
island,
but
he
is
almost
swept
away,
and
does
not
make
the
attempt
again.
He
has
pets
whom
he
treats
as
subjects.
There
is
no
appearance
of
man
until
about
15
years
into
his
stay.
He
sees
a
footprint,
and
later
observes
cannibalistic
savages
eating
prisoners.
They
don't
live
on
the
island;
they
come
in
canoes
from
a
mainland
not
too
far
away.
Robinson
is
filled
with
outrage,
and
resolves
to
save
the
prisoners
the
next
time
these
savages
appear.
Some
years
later
they
return.
Using
his
guns,
Crusoe
scares
them
away
and
saves
a
young
savage
whom
he
names
Friday.
Friday
is
extremely
grateful
and
becomes
Robinson's
devoted
servant.
He
learns
some
English
and
takes
on
the
Christian
religion.
For
some
years
the
two
live
happily.
Then,
another
ship
of
savages
arrives
with
three
prisoners.
Together
Crusoe
and
Friday
are
able
to
save
two
of
them.
One
is
a
Spaniard;
the
other
is
Friday's
father.
Their
reunion
is
very
joyous.
Both
have
come
from
the
mainland
close
by.
After
a
few
months,
they
leave
to
bring
back
the
rest
of
the
Spaniard's
men.
Crusoe
is
happy
that
his
island
is
being
peopled.
Before
the
Spaniard
and
Friday's
father
can
return,
a
boat
of
European
men
comes
ashore.
There
are
three
prisoners.
While
most
of
the
men
are
exploring
the
island,
Crusoe
learns
from
one
that
he
is
the
captain
of
a
ship
whose
crew
mutinied.
Robinson
says
he
will
help
them
as
long
as
they
leave
the
authority
of
the
island
in
his
hands,
and
as
long
as
they
promise
to
take
Friday
and
himself
to
England
for
free.
The
agreement
is
made.
Together
this
little
army
manages
to
capture
the
rest
of
the
crew
and
retake
the
captain's
ship.
Friday
and
Robinson
are
taken
to
England.
Even
though
Crusoe
has
been
gone
thirty-five
years,
he
finds
that
his
plantations
have
done
well
and
he
is
very
wealthy.
He
gives
money
to
the
Portuguese
captain
and
the
widow
who
were
so
kind
to
him.
He
returns
to
the
English
countryside
and
settles
there,
marrying
and
having
three
children.
When
his
wife
dies,
he
once
more
goes
to
the
sea.

Robinson Crusoe, the narrator of the story, tells us that he was born in 1632 in the city of York, England. His father, a German immigrant, married a woman whose name was Robinson, and his real name was Robinson Kreutznaer, but due to the natural corruption of languages, the family now writes their name "Crusoe." He was the third son; his oldest brother was killed in a war, and the next son simply disappeared.
When Robinson Crusoe first had an urge to go to sea, his father lectured him upon the importance of staying home and being content with his "middle station" in life. His father maintained that the "middle station had the fewest disasters and was not exposed to so many vicissitudes as the higher or lower part of mankind." After his father expressly forbade him to go to sea, and, furthermore, promised to do good things for him if he stayed home, for another whole year, Robinson Crusoe stayed at home, but he constantly thought of adventures upon the high sea. He tried to enlist the aid of his mother, pointing out that he was now eighteen years old and if he did not like the sea, he could work diligently and make up for the time he might lose while at sea. She refused to help him, even though she did report his strong feelings to her husband.
When Robinson was nineteen, on the first of September, in 1651, he joined a friend on a ship bound for London, without consulting either his father or mother. Almost immediately, "the wind began to blow, and the sea to rise in a most frightful manner." Robinson Crusoe, who had never been to sea before, saw this as a sign that he was justly "overtaken by the judgement of Heaven" for his wicked leaving of his father's house without letting anyone know. He was so frightened that he made the promise: "If it would please God here to spare my life in this one voyage, if ever I got once my foot upon dry land again, I would go directly home to my father, and never set it into a ship again while I lived." The wind soon abated, and the next morning the sea was so calm and so beautiful that he entirely forgot the vows and promises that he had made in his distress, and joined the other sailors in a drinking bout.
As they neared a place called Yarmouth Roads, the winds ceased to blow and thus they were stilled for eight days, and when the winds did begin to blow, the ship immediately encountered a storm much more violent than the earlier one. Even the most experienced sailors were down on their knees praying. The storm continued with such fury that the seamen acknowledged that they had never known a worse one.
When the boat sprung a leak, Robinson was ordered below to help pump the water. It soon became apparent that they would not be able to save the ship and the captain fired several volleys of distress signals. A lighter ship in the vicinity made it up to their ship and was able to take the crew away from the sinking ship, which foundered soon after they left.
The crew finally got to shore, where Robinson Crusoe met his friend's father, who owned the ship. When the captain heard Robinson Crusoe's story, he felt strongly that it was the "hand of Providence" instructing Robinson Crusoe never to go to sea any more. He told the young man: "You ought to take this for a plain and visible token that you are not to be a seafaring man." He even wondered if he had done something wrong that such a person as Robinson Crusoe should "come onto his ship," and he warned Crusoe again that "you will meet with nothing but disasters and disappointments" if he did not go back to his father's house.
《鲁滨逊漂流记》,故事的讲述者,告诉我们,他出生在1632在约克市的,英格兰。他的父亲,一位德籍移民,结了婚的女人名叫罗宾逊,他的真名是罗宾逊Kreutznaer,但由于自然腐败的语言中,现在写自己名字的家庭”克鲁索。”他是第三个儿子,大哥死于一场战争,而接下来的儿子简单地消失了。
当《鲁滨逊漂流记》第一次感到了一种冲动,要去航行,他在父亲责骂他呆在家里的重要性被满意他的“中间站”,在生活中。他的父亲坚持说这个“中间站有最少的灾害,不会暴露于很多沧桑的人类更高或更低的一部分。”在他的父亲明确禁止他出海,此外,承诺要做些有意义的事情,如果他呆在家里,因为有另一整年,鲁滨逊漂流记呆在家里,但他经常想到冒险在高的大海。他试图参军的援助,他的母亲,指出他现在已经十八岁了,如果他不喜欢大海,他可以努力工作,并且弥补失去的时间时,他可能在海上。她不肯帮他,虽然她确实报告他的强烈的感情于她的丈夫。
19世纪,当鲁滨逊,在9月1日,1651年,他加入了一个朋友在一艘驶往伦敦的,不允许询问他不是父亲或母亲。“几乎立刻,风刮得,海上升,在一个最可怕的态度。”《鲁滨逊漂流记》的,从来没有去过海洋之前,认为这是一个信号,表明他是公正的判断“追过,因为他邪恶的离开天堂"他父亲的房子也不让别人知道。他吓坏了,以致于他做出的承诺:“假如会请神来饶我一命在这一航程,如果我曾有一次我的脚在干燥的土地来一次,我要去直接回家到我父亲那里,永远不会把它的时候,我的船又活了。”风很快就减轻了,第二天早上大海是如此的平静,如此美丽,他完全忘记誓言与承诺,他犯了他在急难的时候,并参加了其他水手在喝酒的较量。
当他们接近一个地方名叫Yarmouth道路,风吹,因此停止他们停止整整8天,当风吹来的时候开始,立即发货遭遇了风暴更猛烈比早一点的。即使最有经验的水手们跪下来祈祷。暴风雨持续这样的愤怒,水手们承认他们从来就不知道一种更差。
当船漏水,罗宾逊被命令下面提供泵水。很快,我们就知道他们不可能拯救船只和船长发射数截击的胁迫信号。船停泊在附近较轻的重量使它开到他们的船,都能取得船员离开正在下沉的船触礁后不久,他们就离开了。
船员们终于到岸边,在那里遇到了他的《鲁滨逊漂流记》朋友的父亲,谁拥有了这首船。当船长听到《鲁滨逊漂流记》的故事,他强烈地感到它是“手”指导的普罗维登斯《鲁滨逊漂流记》从不出海了。他告诉这个年轻人:“你应该把这对一个相貌平平的和可见的令牌,你不是要一个航海的人。”他甚至怀疑,如果他做错事情,这样的人是《鲁滨逊漂流记》应该“降临到他的船,”他警告,鲁滨逊又保证说:“你们将会见只不过灾害和失望”,如果他不回他父亲的房子。
