現(xiàn)在我再回來講我在利力浦特的經(jīng)歷。

About two weeks after my first visit to the capital，I was visitedby one of the King s most important officials.His name wasReldresal，and he had helped me many times since I hadarrived in Lilliput. I started the conversation.I'm so gladthey've taken away my chains，I told him.Well， myfriend，he answered，let me tell you some-thing.You're onlyfree because the King knows we're in a very dangerous situation.

大約在我參觀都城兩周后，國(guó)王的一個(gè)最重要的官員來訪問我。他的名子叫瑞顓沙，自從我來到利力浦特他已經(jīng)幫了我許多次忙。我首先開口談話。我很高興他們已經(jīng)拿掉了我的鎖鏈。我對(duì)他說。嗯，朋友，他回答說，讓我告訴你，你之所以獲釋，是因?yàn)閲?guó)王知道我們正處于險(xiǎn)境中。

Dangerous?I cried.What do you mean?

險(xiǎn)境?我大聲問，這是什么意思?

Lilliput has enemies at home and abroad，he explained.For six years now we've had two politicalgroups，the High-Heels and the Low-Heels.Perhaps the High-Heels were more popular inthe past，but as you can see，our present King and all bis officials wear the lowest heels.Thetwo groups hate each other，and a High-Heel will refuse to speak to a Low-Heel.That's theproblem in Lilliput.Now，we're getting in-formation that the people of Blefuscu are going toattack us.

利力浦特在國(guó)內(nèi)外都有敵人，他解釋說，我們有兩個(gè)政治集團(tuán)，高跟派和低跟派，已經(jīng)有六年了。高跟派也許過去比較受歡迎，可是你看得出來，現(xiàn)在的國(guó)王和所有的官員都穿最低的跟。兩個(gè)集團(tuán)相互仇視，高跟派人會(huì)拒絕與低跟派人說話。那就是利力浦特的問題?，F(xiàn)在，我們得到消息說不來夫斯古的人即將進(jìn)攻我們。

Have you heard of Blefuscu?It's an island very near us，almost as large and important asLilliput.They've been at war with us for three years，you see.But how did this war start?Iasked.

你聽說過不來夫斯古沒有?那是一個(gè)非常靠近我們的島嶼，幾乎和利力浦特一樣大一樣重要。他們和我們已經(jīng)打了三年的仗。可是仗是怎么打起來的?我問。

關(guān)于《格列佛游記》

于利立浦特首都密爾敦多以及皇宮的描寫—格列佛與一位大臣談帝國(guó)大事—格列佛表示愿為皇帝效勞對(duì)敵作戰(zhàn)。
