Indeed，because I had been with giants for so long，I had forgotten that my countrymen were as small as me．
確實，因為我和巨人在一起太久了，我忘了我的國人是和我一樣小的。
The only thing the sailors could do was to cut a hole in the top of my box，and help me to climb out．I was exhausted and unable to walk far．

Welcome to my ship，he said kindly．You're lucky we found you．My men saw that huge box on the water，and we decided to pull it along behind the ship．
歡迎到我們船上來，他和善地說，你很幸運(yùn)我們發(fā)現(xiàn)了你。我的人發(fā)現(xiàn)水里有一個大盒子，我們決定將它掛在輪船后面拖著走。
Then we realized there was a man inside！Why were you locked up in there？
然后我們意識到里面有一個人！你為什么被鎖在里面？
Was it a punishment for some terrible crime？But tell me all about it later．Now you need to sleep，and then eat．
這是一種對什么可怕的罪過的懲罰嗎？不過以后再告訴我這些，你現(xiàn)在需要休息，然后吃點東西。

But why do you shout so loudly？he asked．We can hear you perfectly well if you speak normally．
可是你為什么叫喊那么大聲音？他問，如果你正常地說話我們也能聽得很清楚。
You see，I explained，for two years I've had to shout to make myself understood by the giants．
你看，我解釋說，兩年來我不得不大聲喊叫以便讓我能被巨人聽清楚。
I was like a man in the street who was trying to talk to another man at the top of a very tall building．
我就像一個走在大街上的人，要跟在一座非常高的建筑物頂上的另一個人說話。
And another thing-your sailors all seem very small to me，because I've been used to looking up at people twenty metres tall．
還有一件事，你的水手在我看起來都非常小，因為我以經(jīng)習(xí)慣了仰著頭看20米高的人。
He shook his head．Well，what a story！I think you should write a book about it when you get home．
他搖著頭。嗯，多么好的故事??！我覺得你回家后應(yīng)該把它寫成一本書。

關(guān)于《格列佛游記》
