old gold

I was now in my twenty third year of residence in this island , and was so naturaliz d to the place , and to the manner of living , that could i have but enjoy d the certainty that no savages would come to the place to disturb me , i could have been content to have capitulated for spending the rest of my time there , even to the last moment , till i had laid me down and dy d , like the old goat in the cave 我現在在島上已經住了二十三年了,對這個地方以及對自己在島上的生活方式,也已非常適應了。如果我不擔心野人襲擊的話,我寧愿在此度過我的余生,直到生命的最后一刻,就像洞中的那只老山羊一樣無疾而終。同時,我又想出了一些小小的消遣和娛樂,使我的日子過得比以前快活多了。

I had , as is observ d in the third year of my being here , kept a young kid , and bred her up tame , and i was in hope of getting a he - goat , but i could not by any means bring it to pass , till my kid grew an old goat ; and i could never find in my heart to kill her , till she dy d at last of meer age 前面我也曾提到,上島第三年,我捉到了一只雌的小山羊,經過馴養,它長大了。后來,我一直想再活捉一只雄山羊與它配對可是想盡辦法也沒能抓到一只。到最后,小山羊成了老山羊,我怎么也不忍心殺它,直至它老死。

The old goat who i found expiring , dy d in the mouth of the cave , the next day after i made this discovery ; and i found it much easier to dig a great hole there , and throw him in , and cover him with earth , than to drag him out ; so i interr d him there , to prevent the offence to my nose 我發現洞穴的第二天,那只垂死的老山羊就在洞口邊死去了。我覺得與其把它拖出去,倒不如就地挖個大坑,用土把它埋起來更省事些。于是我就地把老山羊埋了,免得我鼻子聞到死羊的臭氣。

He ’ s an old goat 他是個老色鬼。

Let go , you randy old goat 放開我,你這老色鬼

And that old goat there is an old goat 那頭老山羊就是頭老山羊

The poor old goat needs peace and quiet 可憐的老山羊需要平靜和安寧

But listen , a little advice from an old goat 但是聽老山羊說一句話:

The old goat who i found expiring, died in the mouth of the cave, the next day after i made this discovery . 那只垂死的老山羊,在我發現它的第二天,便死在洞口上了。
