However，it was soon time to leave Glubbdubdrib，and sail to Luggnagg，a much larger island to the southeast of Japan．
但是很快就到了該離開格勒大錐、駛向拉格奈格的時間，一個在日本東南、大得多的島嶼。
The Luggnuggians are polite and generous people，and I stayed here for three months．
拉格奈格人是有禮貌而慷慨大方的人民，我在那兒呆了3個月。
I made many friends among them．One day，one of them asked me，Have you ever seen any of our Struldbrugs？
我交了許多朋友。一天，有一個朋友問我，你見過了我們的斯特魯布魯格沒有？
I don't think so，I replied．What's that？
我想沒有。我回答說，那是什么？
Well，a Struldbrug is a human being who will never die，but will live for ever．
噢，斯特魯布魯格是長生不死的人，
If a Luggnuggian baby is born with a round spot above its left eye，which never disappears，it's a Struldbrug．
如果一個拉格奈格嬰兒生下來時左眼上有一個圓點，而且圓點是永不消失的，那么這個嬰兒就是個斯特魯布魯格。
We have over a thousand of them in the country．
我們國家有1000多個這樣的人。
How wonderful！I cried．How exciting！How lucky you are in Luggnagg，where a child has a chance of living for ever！
多么美妙啊！我叫道，多么令人興奮！你們在拉格奈格多么幸運，孩子有機會永生！
And how especially lucky the Struldbrugs are！Disease，disas－ter，and death can never touch them！
這些斯特魯布魯格是多么特別的運氣呀！疾病、災難和死亡不能奈何他們！
And imagine how much we can learn from them！I expect they're among the most im－portant people in the country．
你想想我們可以從他們那兒學到多少東西！我想他們是這個國家最重要的人。
They've lived through history and know so much，which they're certain to pass on to the rest of us．
他們活了這么多年，知道多少的東西，他們肯定要傳播給其余的人。
If I had the chance，Id like to spend my whole life listening to the intelligent conversation of these extraordinary people，here in Luggnagg！
如果我有機會，我愿意整個一生都來聽這些不同尋常的人的睿智的談話，就在拉格奈格！
