第9章 格列佛逃離布羅卜丁奈格
I was still hoping to return to England one day.But the ship inwhich I had arrived in Brobdingnag was the first that had evercome near the coast.So I could not see how I could getaway.I began to think more and more about my family andmy home.
我仍然希望有朝一日回到英國(guó)?？墒俏业竭_(dá)布羅卜丁奈格時(shí)乘坐的輪船是第一只曾經(jīng)靠近此處海岸的。所以我不知道怎樣才能逃離。我開始越來越想念我的家人和自己的家了。
By now I had been in Brobdingnag for about two years.When the King and Queen travelled tothe south coast，Glumdalclitch and I went with them.I really wanted to be close to the seaagain，which I had not seen or even smelt for so long.
這時(shí)我到布羅卜丁奈格已經(jīng)有大約兩年了。國(guó)王和王后到南部海岸去旅行時(shí)，葛蘭達(dá)克利赤和我也一同前往。我真是想再度靠近大海，這么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間我既沒有看見也沒有聞見它了。
As Glumdalclitch was ill，I asked a young servant to take me down to the beach for some freshair.The boy carried me in my travelling box，and put me down on the beach，while he lookedfor birds eggs among the rocks.
由于葛蘭達(dá)克利赤生病了，我叫一個(gè)年輕仆人把我?guī)У胶┥虾粑迈r空氣。這個(gè)男孩用我的旅行盒提著我，在海灘上把我放下來，他自己去石頭中找鳥蛋去了。
I looked sadly at the sea，but stayed in my box，and after a while I fell asleep.I was wokensuddenly when my box was lifted high in the air.I can only suppose that a large bird took hold ofthe ring on top of the box with his talons，and flew away with it.
我憂傷地看著大海，不過還是呆在我的盒子里，過了一會(huì)兒我就睡著了。我的盒子被提到高空中，把我突然驚醒了。我只能猜測(cè)一只大鳥的爪子抓住了我盒子頂部的環(huán)，帶著它飛走了。
Through the windows I could see the sky and clouds passing by，and I could hear the noise ofthe bird's wings.Then I was falling，so fast that I felt quite breathless.There was a loudcrash，as the box fell into the sea.
透過窗戶我可以看見天空和云彩飛逝，我還可以聽見鳥翅膀的聲音。然后我往下跌，快得我覺得幾乎透不過氣。盒子掉進(jìn)海水里，濺起很響的水聲。
關(guān)于《格列佛游記》
1699年，外科醫(yī)生格列佛隨“羚羊號(hào)”出航南太平洋。不幸中途遇險(xiǎn)，格列佛死里逃生，漂到利立浦特(小人國(guó))，被小人捆住。
