2造物主在統治人類的時候,把人類的認識和知識局限於狹隘的範圍,實在是無上的好事。
3我在海上漂流了這麽多天,實在夠了,正好安安靜靜地休息幾天,把過去的危險回味壹下。
4開始做壹件事的時候,若不是預先計算壹下需要多少代價,若不是預先對自己的力量做壹個正確的估計,那真是太愚蠢了。
5這時,我父母的忠告,父親的眼淚和母親的祈求,都湧進了我的腦海。
6每次我們的船跌入浪渦時,我想我們會隨時傾覆沈入
海底再也浮不起來了。
7那天晚上,我盡情喝酒胡鬧,把對自己過去行為的懺悔與反省,以及對未來
下的決心,統統丟到九霄雲外去了。
8不久,我就控制了自己的沖動,不讓那些正經的
念頭死灰復燃。
9簡而言之,風暴壹過,大海又平靜如鏡,我
頭腦裏紛亂的思緒也隨之壹掃而光,怕被大海吞沒的恐懼也消失殆盡,我熱衷航
海的願望又重新湧上心頭。
10上帝見我不思悔改,就決定毫不寬恕地懲罰我,並且,這完全是我自作自受,無可推諉。
11因為,家裏人聽說我搭乘的那條船在雅茅斯錨地遇難沈沒,之後又過了好久才得知我並沒有葬身魚腹。
12但我惡運未盡,它以壹種不可抗拒的力量迫使我不思悔改。
13可是,命中註定我每次都會作出最壞的選擇,這壹次也不例外。
14壹天早晨,我們又出海打魚。天氣晴朗,海面風平浪靜。
15有兩三個地方,在我們的船駛過時,可以看到有些人站在岸上望著我們;同時可以看到,他們都壹絲不掛,渾身墨黑。
16大約過了三小時光景,我才靠上了他們的大船.
17我倒不是不願意把佐立給船長,而是我不願意出賣這可憐的孩子的自由。
18我把自己目前的生活,比作荒島上孤獨的生活,結果我真的命中註定要過這種生活,那正是因為我不應該不滿足於當前的境遇。
19老天爺這樣對待我,也真是天公地道的。要是我真的繼續我當時的生活,也許我可以變成個大富翁呢!
20當時,我經營種植園還是個新手呢!當這批貨物運抵巴西時,我以為自己發了大財了,真是喜出望外.
21這時,生意發展,資財豐厚,我的頭腦裏又開始充滿了各種不切實際的
計劃和夢想。
22這種虛妄的念頭往往會毀掉最有頭腦的商人。
23每當我談論這些話題的時候,大家都仔細傾聽;尤其是買賣黑奴的事,更引
其他們的興趣.
24因為這很有希望賺壹大筆錢,何況他們是下了大資本的,而我卻不必花壹個子兒。
25可是,我卻被命運驅使,盲目聽從自己的妄想,而把理智丟之九霄雲外。
26船上沒有什麽大件的貨物,只是壹些適合與黑人交易的
小玩意兒,像假珠子啦,玻璃器具啦、貝殼啦,以及其他壹些新奇的零星雜貨,像望遠鏡啦、刀子啦、剪刀啦、斧子啦等等。
27我們沿著這條航線航行,大約十二天之後穿過了赤道。
28滔天大浪不斷沖進船裏,我們都感到死亡已經臨頭了。
29難怪荷蘭人把暴風雨中的大海稱之為"瘋狂的海洋",真是形象極了。
30當我沈入水中時,心亂如麻,實難言表。
1 my filial son, and abandoned parents, not the bounden duty of God to punish me so quickly, really fair and just.
2 man in the reign of God, when the limit of human understanding and narrow the scope of knowledge, it is the supreme good.
3 I drifted at sea for so many days, it is enough, just quietly for a few days, the danger of the past memories.
4 Start time to do one thing, if not pre-calculate how much expense, if it is their strength in advance to make a correct estimate, then it is stupid.
5 At this time, the advice of my parents, my father's tears and mother's prayer, have poured into my mind.
6 every time we ship fell into the vortex wave, I think we will not hesitate to overturn sink
Harbour no longer floating up, the
7 That night, I enjoy drinking nonsense, to repent for their past actions and reflection, and the future
Under the determination, all thrown into the winds go.
8 Soon after, I control his own impulses, not to those decent
The idea of a comeback.
9 In short, the storm is over, the sea and calm as a mirror, I
The mind also will be wiped out chaotic thoughts, fear of being swallowed by the sea of fear has disappeared, I am eager Airlines
Desire to sea again in my heart.
10 God saw that I do not repent, it was decided not to forgive
To punish me, and this is entirely my own making, are without excuse.
11 because, the family heard that I take the boat were killed in Yarmouth Anchorage
Sank, and later after a long learned that I was not buried inside the fish.
But I'm not entirely bad luck of
12, which forced an irresistible force I do not repent.
13 However, every time I make a fate
The worst choice, this time is no exception.
14 One morning, we sea fishing. Weather was clear and calm sea.
15 two or three places, in our passing boat, you can see some people standing on the shore looking at us; the same time can see
They are naked, covered in jet black.
16 After about three hours scene, I rely on their ship.
17 Not that I do not want to Xury to the master, but I do not want to sell this poor child's freedom.
18 I put my life now, compared to a desert island alone
Life, the results I really meant to live this life, it is because I should not be satisfied with the current
The situation.
19 God do this to me, there was no fair and just. If I do continue my life at that time,
Maybe I can become a millionaire too!
20 At that time, I am still a novice plantations it!
When the shipment arrived in Brazil, I thought he made a fortune, and really delighted.
21 At this time, business development and financial resources of rich, my mind began full of all kinds of unrealistic
Plans and dreams.
22 This tends to destroy the false idea of the most thoughtful businessman.
23 Every time I talk about these topics, when we all listen carefully; especially the sale of slaves to do, but cited
Its their interest.
24 because it hopefully make a fortune, not to mention they are the next big capital, but I do not have to spend a sub-child.
25 However, I been driven by fate, blindly follow their own delusions, but lost the sense of the window.
26, no large pieces of cargo on board, just some for the transaction with the black
Little things, like fake friends beads, glassware matter, shells friends, and some other novel sporadic groceries, such as binoculars you, knife you, friends scissors, axes friends and so on.
27 We are sailing along this route, through the twelve days around the equator.
28 monstrous big waves constantly broke into the boat, we all feel death is imminent out.
29 No wonder the Dutch call the sea in the storm "Crazy Ocean", the image is really great.
30 When I was sinking into the water, terribly upset, real untold table.
