This was what i wish d for , and immediately leaving friday and the captain s mate to their business , i took the rest with me , and crossing the creek out of their sight , we surpriz d the two men before they were aware ; one of them lying on shore , and the other being in the boat ; the fellow on shore , was between sleeping and waking , and going to start up , the captain who was foremost , ran in upon him , and knock d him down , and then call d out to him in the boat , to yield , or he was a dead man 我让星期五和大副继续干他们的事，自己马上带其余的人偷偷渡过小河，出其不意地向那两个人扑过去。当时，一个人正躺在岸上，一个人还在船里呆着。那岸上的人半睡半醒，正想爬起来，走在头里的船长一下冲到他跟前，把他打倒在地。
Already i had made visible progress ; that very morning i had reached the head of my class ; miss miller had praised me warmly ; miss temple had smiled approbation ; she had promised to teach me drawing , and to let me learn french , if i continued to make similar improvement two months longer : and then i was well received by my fellow - pupils ; treated as an equal by those of my own age , and not molested by any ; now , here i lay again crushed and trodden on ; and could i ever rise more 就在那天早上，我在班上己经名列前矛，米勒小姐热情夸奖我，坦普尔小姐微笑着表示赞许，还答应教我绘画，让我学法文只要我在两个月之内继续取得同样的进步，此外，我也深受同学们的欢迎，同我年相仿的人也对我平等相待，我已不再受人欺悔。然而此刻，我又被打倒在地，遭人践踏。我还有翻身之日吗？
