小說(shuō)主人公魯濱遜出身于一個(gè)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)家庭,但他厭倦那種安寧平靜的生活方式,決意成為一名探險(xiǎn)家,航游世界。他不顧父母反對(duì),出海航行。第一次航行就遇到大風(fēng)浪,船只沉沒(méi),好不容易才保住性命。第二次出海到非洲經(jīng)商,賺了一筆錢(qián)。第三次又遭不幸,被摩爾人俘獲,當(dāng)了奴隸。后來(lái)他劃了主人的小船逃跑,途中被一艘葡萄牙貨船救起。船到巴西后,他在那里買(mǎi)下一個(gè)莊園,做了莊園主。魯濱遜不甘心于這樣的發(fā)財(cái)致富,再次出海,到非洲販賣(mài)奴隸。結(jié)果船在途中遭遇風(fēng)暴,乘客全部遇難,唯有魯濱遜一人幸存下來(lái),只身漂流到一個(gè)沒(méi)有人煙的荒島上。他從遇難的船上找來(lái)食物、衣服、工具、彈藥等,開(kāi)始了孤島上的生活。開(kāi)始魯濱遜以打獵為生,后來(lái)種植谷物,馴養(yǎng)山羊,還從食人部落里救出一名即將被吃掉的野人,取名“星期五”。此后,“星期五”成了魯濱遜忠實(shí)的仆人和朋友。不久,一條英國(guó)船在荒島附近停泊,船上水手發(fā)生叛亂,魯濱遜與“星期五”幫船長(zhǎng)奪回了船只。魯濱遜把叛變水手留在島上,帶著“星期五”乘船離開(kāi)荒島回到英國(guó),結(jié)束了荒島上28年的生活。他靠在巴西種植園的財(cái)產(chǎn)在英國(guó)結(jié)婚生子。妻子死后,魯濱遜又一次出海經(jīng)商,探望他住過(guò)的荒島,而且又送去新的移民……后來(lái)魯濱遜仍不停地航行經(jīng)商,他住過(guò)的荒島人口大大增加,漸漸成了一個(gè)小小的自由之邦。

那是一個(gè)春寒料峭的日子,中國(guó)宇航出版社的策劃編輯戰(zhàn)穎找到我,要我負(fù)責(zé)主編一套世界經(jīng)典名著的導(dǎo)讀和注釋叢書(shū),想請(qǐng)我邀北外的一些老師加入到這一工作中來(lái)。我看了她給我的書(shū)單后,心中不由地一動(dòng),多么熟悉的書(shū)名啊,這些經(jīng)典名著的英文版和中文版是伴我度過(guò)大學(xué)時(shí)期的重要精神食糧之一。因?yàn)樵谖业拇髮W(xué)時(shí)代,校園里不像現(xiàn)在這樣充斥著浮躁的氣氛,而是一種寧?kù)o的讀書(shū)氛圍,我們讀古詩(shī)詞、現(xiàn)代抒情詩(shī)、三毛的散文、席慕容的散文和詩(shī)歌、羅蘭的小品文等,而我們這些英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的學(xué)生當(dāng)然還要閱讀英文經(jīng)典名著,不是老師布置的作業(yè),而是主動(dòng)為之。時(shí)至今日,這些經(jīng)典中的主人公形象依然留在自己的腦海中,這些經(jīng)典中的故事情節(jié)依然讓人心潮澎湃。所以,我禁不住想答應(yīng)下來(lái)。可是,經(jīng)驗(yàn)告訴我,為英語(yǔ)讀物作注釋,尤其是為英文原版小說(shuō)作注釋,看起來(lái)或聽(tīng)起來(lái)是一件簡(jiǎn)單的事情,而真正做起來(lái)卻是耗時(shí)、費(fèi)力的工作,因?yàn)槲膶W(xué)著作的注釋不是簡(jiǎn)單的單詞注釋,還有很多地名、人名、歷史事件、文化典故等諸多百科全書(shū)式的東西要為讀者解釋出來(lái)。作長(zhǎng)篇巨著的注釋更是很多人望而卻步的事情,所以對(duì)能否邀請(qǐng)到一些同事從事這一工作我有些不敢確定。雖然我本人愿意為經(jīng)典的傳播、為讀者的閱讀提供自己的一點(diǎn)見(jiàn)解和幫助,可個(gè)人的力量畢竟是有限的。因此,當(dāng)時(shí)我猶豫了,但對(duì)經(jīng)典名著的情結(jié)又讓我對(duì)這一工作難以割舍。于是,我跟戰(zhàn)穎編輯說(shuō),我先詢問(wèn)一下看有多少人愿意去做這件事。

had used to me; and that, in short, if I would ruin myself there wasno help for me; but I might depend I should never have theirconsent to it; that for her part, she would not have so much hand inmy destruction, and I should never have it to say, that my mother waswilling when my father was not.
Though my mother refused to move it to my father, yet, as Ihave heard afterwards, she reported all the discourse to him, and thatmy father, after showing a great concem at it, said to her with a sigh,"That boy might be happy if he would stay at home, but if he goesabroad he will be the miserablest wretchthat was ever born: I cangive no consent to it. "
It was not till almost a year after this that I broke loose, though inthe meantime I continued obstinately deaf to all proposals of settling tobusiness, and frequently expostulating with my father and mother abouttheir being so positively determined against what they knew my inclina-tions prompted me to. But being one day at Hull, where I went casual-ly, and without any purpose of making an elopement that time; but Isay, being there, and one of my companions being going by sea toLondon, in his fathers ship, and prompting me to go with them, withthe common allurement of seafaring men, viz., that it should cost menothing for my passage, I consulted neither father or mother any more,nor so much as sent them word of it; but leaving them to hear of it asthey might, without asking Gods blessing, or my fathers, without anyconsideration of circumstances or consequences, and in an ill hour.
