Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World — Page 5
我极度疲惫，加上天气炎热，还有离船时喝下的约半品脱白兰地，我发现自己昏昏欲睡。
I was extremely tired, and with that, and the heat of the weather, and about half a pint of brandy that I drank as I left the ship, I found myself much inclined to sleep.
我躺在草地上，那草又短又软，我睡得比记忆中任何时候都要香甜，估计睡了大约九个小时。
I lay down on the grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remembered to have done in my life, and, as I reckoned, about nine hours;
因为当我醒来时，天刚刚亮。
for when I awaked, it was just day-light.
我试图起身，却动弹不得。
I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir:
因为我恰好仰面躺着，发现我的手臂和双腿被牢牢地固定在地面两侧。
for, as I happened to lie on my back, I found my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to the ground;
我那又长又厚的头发也以同样的方式被绑在地上。
and my hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same manner.
我同样感觉到有几条细绳横跨过我的身体，从腋下一直到大腿。
I likewise felt several slender ligatures across my body, from my arm-pits to my thighs.
我只能朝上看；太阳开始变得炽热，强光刺痛了我的眼睛。
I could only look upwards; the sun began to grow hot, and the light offended my eyes.
我听到周围有嘈杂的声音，但以我当时的姿势，除了天空什么也看不见。
I heard a confused noise about me; but in the posture I lay, could see nothing except the sky.
过了一会儿，我感觉到有什么活的东西在我的左腿上移动，它慢慢地向前爬过我的胸口，几乎到了我的下巴处。
In a little time I felt something alive moving on my left leg, which advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin;
这时我尽力低下眼睛往下看，发现那是一个不足六英寸高的人形生物，手持弓箭，背上还背着一个箭袋。
when, bending my eyes downwards as much as I could, I perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back.
