美國語文第四冊 第102期：魯濱遜·克魯索的衣服（01）
But had any man in England met such a man as I was, it must either have frightened him or raised a great deal of laughter;
在英國，任何人看到我的樣子，一定被嚇著或者被逗得開懷大笑；
and, as I frequently stood still to look at myself, I could not but smile at the notion of my traveling through Yorkshire in such a dress.
當我不時一動不動打量自己的時候，想到穿著這身打扮走在約克郡的路上就忍俊不禁。
I had a great, high, shapeless cap, made of a goat's skin, with a flap hanging down behind, as well to keep the sun from me as to shoot the rain off from running into my neck;
我的帽子是用山羊皮做的，又高又大，沒有帽子的形狀，后面垂下一個帽檐，既遮陽，又可以防止雨水流進脖子里；
nothing being so hurtful in these climates as the rain upon the flesh under the clothes.
沒有比讓雨水流進衣服沾到皮膚更有害的了。
I had a short jacket of goatskin, the skirts coming down to about the middle of the thighs,
我穿著一件山羊皮做的上衣，上衣的下擺垂到大腿中部，
and a pair of open-kneed breeches of the same; the breeches were made of the skin of an old goat,
還穿著件相同材料的露著膝蓋的短裙；短裙是用老山羊皮做成的，
and the hair hung down such a length on either side that it reached to the middle of my legs like pantaloons.
兩側(cè)的羊毛垂到膝蓋，像馬褲一樣。
Stockings and shoes I had none;
我沒有襪子和鞋；
but I made a pair of something, I scarce know what to call them, like buskins, to flap over my legs, and lace on either side like spatterdashes;
但是做了一雙類似的東西，我?guī)缀醪恢涝摲Q它什么，有點像高筒靴，像綁腿一樣從兩側(cè)系在腿上；
but they were of a most barbarous shape, as indeed were all the rest of my clothes.
但是它們的形狀極其原始，實際上我的其他穿著也一樣原始。
