1、CHAPTER ONEROBINSONS ADVENTURE AT SEAI was born in the year 1632, in the city of York in English. My father was of good family. He was a merchant from Bremen in Germany. He settled in England and made his fortune in trade, and then he married. My mothers family name was Robinson. I was baptised Robi
2、nson Kreutznaer. However, in England we were always called Crusoe, so my friends call me Crusoe.I have two brothers one became a soldier and was killed in a battle against the Spaniards. I do not know what happened to my other brother. My father hoped I would study law, but I wanted to go to the sea
3、. Although my mother and father did not want me go, my desire was so strong that I ignored their wishes. My father was a wise and serious man. He said that if I stayed at home my life would be easy and pleasant. Only desperate men or very fortune men want abroad, he said. I was neither desperate nor
4、 very fortune .Mine was the middle state, and he thought the middle state was the best. The poor had a difficult life, and the rich were hated by the poor, said he. In the middle state a man could be happy .Kings often regretted that they were not born in the middle state, and wise men prayed to hav
5、e neither poverty nor wealth. He said the greatest misfortunes in life were suffered by the rich and the poor. Only the man in the middle state can live in peace. He said that moderation, quietness, and good health were the conditions of the middle state.He begged me not to abandon this happy condit
6、ion. He told me that he had begged my brother not to bee a soldier for the same reasons. However, my brother had run away to the army, and now he was dead. He said that God would not bless me if I went to sea, and that I would be sorry I had ignored my fathers advice.During the last part of his disc
7、ourse the tears ran down his face, especially when he spoke of my brother. When he said that I would regret my choice, he was so moved that he could say no more.I was sincerely affected by his words and decided not to think of going abroad any more. But alas. In a few days I began to dream of the se
8、a again. I spoke to my mother. I told her that I still desired to go to the sea and that nothing else would make me happy. I said that I was eighteen years old, too old to begin another profession. I asked her to persuade my father to let me go to sea.This made her very angry. She said that it would
9、 be useless to speak to my father. If I wanted to ruin myself, she said, there was nothing she or my father could do to stop me. However, they would never agree to it.A year later, I ran off to sea. This is how it happened. One day I went to the port of Hull. A friend of mine was going by sea to Lon
10、don in his fathers ship. He asked me to go with him. Since it would cost me nothing, I decide to go, even not telling mother and father. Thus on the first of September 1651 I went on board a ship for the first time.As soon as the ship was at sea, the wind began to blow. I felt very sick and frighten
11、ed. I thought that God was punishing me for leaving my fathers house. The storm grew worst, although it was not as bad as many I have seen since. It was not even as bad as the storm I saw just a few days later, but it frightened me then. I thought the sea would swallow us. I swore to God that, if I
12、lived, I would return to my fathers house and never go to sea again.The next day the sea grew clam and the sun shone. I no longer felt sick or frightened. My friend said, well, Bob, how do you feel? Were you afraid?“It was a terrible storm, said I.“Do you call that a storm? Said he.” That was nothin
13、g. Lets drink some rum and forget about it.”We drank the rum, and I forgot my promise to God. A few days later, there was a really terrible storm. The waves were as high as mountains. I was very frightened, I felt sorry that I had forgotten my promise to God.The sailors began to cry out that the shi
14、p would founder. Fortunately, I did not know what the word “founder” meant. I saw the captain and some others praying to God. At last we were rescued by a boat from another ship. As we escaped, we saw our ship go down. It was only then that I understood the word “founder”.When we reached the shore,
15、the people were very kind to us. They gave us money to return Hull or continue to London, as we pleased. If I had returned home, I would have been happy. My father, like the father in Christs story of the prodigal son, would have weled me. But I was foolish, and I did not go home.The captain, who wa
16、s my fathers friend, said to me, Young man, you should never go to sea again.“Why, sir?” said I.” Will you never go to sea again?”“That is different,” said the captain. ”The sea is my profession. It is mu duty to go to sea, but you made this voyage to see if you liked it. God has shown you that the
17、sea is not for you, perhaps that is why my ship foundered. You are like Jonah of the Bible story. I am sorry I ever allowed you on my ship.”I went to London by land. How unwise young people are!They are not afraid to sin, but they are afraid to seem foolish!I signed up for voyage to Africa. I should
18、 have signed up as a sailor. I could have learned the sailors profession. In time, I might even have bee a captain, however, I always made the worst choice, and I chose to go sea as a gentleman. Therefore I had no duties on the ship, and I have no chance of learning to be a sailor.I met the captain
19、of a ship that had been on the coast of Africa. He had made good profits from the voyage and was eager to go again. He asked me to go with him as his panion. He said I need not pay for the voyage. If I had any money, he said, he would show me how to make a profit in trade.I accepted the offer, and b
20、ee friend with the captain, who was a good and honest man. Following the captains advice, I spent about forty pounds on things of little value. These I could trade for gold on the coast of Africa.The voyage was a great success for me. Indeed, it was my only successful voyage. My friend the captain t
21、aught me the skills of both a sailor and a merchant. I brought home five pounds nine ounce of gold, which I sold in London for nearly three hundred pounds.Soon after out return to English, my friend died, I decided to do the same voyage again and signed up on the some ship with its new captain. As w
22、e approached the coast of Africa. We were pursued by a Turkish ship. After a short battle, the Turkish ship was victorious, and we were all taken as prisoners to the port of Sallee.The captain of Turkish ship made me his slave. I was horrified by this surprising change from merchant to miserable sla
23、ve. I remember my fathers prophesy that I would be miserable, and I realized that it had indeed been fulfilled.After about two years of slavery, I saw my chance of escape. One day, my master sent me out fishing with his brother Ismael and a black slave boy called Xury. The fishing boat was full of f
24、ood, guns and fresh water. While we were fishing, I pushed Ismael into the sea. He cried for help. I pointed a gun at him and said, I will not hurt you, if you do as I say. You swim well enough to reach the shore. Go, swim to the shore and let us alone. If you not, I will shoot you in the head, for
