I have already desCRIbed my habitation, which was a tent under the side of a rock, surrounded with a strong pale of posts and cables,

我前面已經(jīng)描述了我的住所，這是一個(gè)帳篷，位于山巖一側(cè)，周圍是用木樁和纜繩搭造的結(jié)實(shí)的柵欄，

but I might now rather call it a wall, for I raised a kind of wall up against it of turf, about two feet thick on the outside;

我現(xiàn)在也可以把這個(gè)柵欄稱作墻，因?yàn)樵跂艡诘耐饷嫖叶哑隽藘捎⒊吆竦牟萜ぃ?/p>

and, after some time (I think it was a year and a half) I raised rafters from it,

過了一段時(shí)間（我想是一年半）我架起了椽，

leaning to the rock, and thatched or covered it with boughs of trees and such things as I could get to keep out the rain, which I found at some times of the year very violent.

一端靠在巖石上，用樹枝等材料封了頂，在暴雨傾盆時(shí)可以用來避雨。

I have already observed how I brought all my goods into this pale, and into the cave which I had made behindme;

我把所有物品拿進(jìn)柵欄，放到巖洞里；

but I must observe, too, that at first this was a confused heap of goods, which, as they lay in no order, took up all my place, so that I had no room to turn myself.

但是開始的時(shí)候東西堆得雜亂無章，很占地方，我甚至無法轉(zhuǎn)身。

So I set to work to enlarge my cave and work farther into the earth;

因此我著手?jǐn)U大巖洞，挖出更多的泥土。

for it was a loose, sandy rock, which yielded easily to the labor I bestowed upon it.

因?yàn)閹r石已經(jīng)疏松沙化了，挖掘起來很容易。

And so when I found that I was pretty safe as to beasts of prey, I worked sideways into the rock;

當(dāng)我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己相當(dāng)安全，不用擔(dān)心野獸的攻擊時(shí)，我開始挖掘山巖的側(cè)面；

and then, turning to the right again, worked quite out, and made me a door to come out on the outside of my pale or fortification.

然后又向右挖，一直挖到外面，這樣我就能從另一扇門通到柵欄或者說堡壘的外面。

This gave me not only egress and regress, as it was a back way to my tent and to my storehouse, but gave me room to stow my goods.

我不但多了出口和入口，進(jìn)出帳篷和工具間，而且貯藏的空間也擴(kuò)大了。
