And now I began to apply myself to make such necessary things as I found I most wanted, particularly a chairand a table;

這時(shí)我開始專心制作最需要的物品，尤其是椅子和桌子；

for without these I was not able to enjoy the few comforts I had in the world.

因?yàn)闆]有桌椅，我就沒法享受世上為數(shù)已不多的樂事。

I could not write or eat, or do several things with so much pleasure without a table.

沒有桌椅，寫作、吃飯也毫無樂趣可言了。

So I went to work. I had never handled a tool in my life;

我開始工作起來，我以前從未使用過工具；

and yet in time by labor, application, and contrivance,

可是當(dāng)我后來花費(fèi)了很大力氣，專心工作，想出不少好點(diǎn)子的時(shí)候，

I found that I wanted nothing but I could have made it, especially if I had had tools;

我發(fā)現(xiàn)不論需要什么，我都能做出來，要是有工具就更好了。

however, I made abundance of things, even without tools, and some with no more tools than an adz and a hatchet,

即使沒有工具，我還是做了不少東西，有時(shí)只使用錛子和斧頭，

which perhaps were never made that way before, and that with infinite labor.

可能以前還沒人這樣做出這些東西，或者花這么大的力氣。

For example, if I wanted a board, I had no other way but to cut down a tree, set it before me,

比如，如果我想要一塊木板，就必須先砍倒一棵樹，

and hew it flat on either side with my ax till I had brought it to be as thin as a plank, and then dub it smooth with my adz.

然后用斧子把兩面銷平，直到樹木像木板一樣薄，再用錛子刮光滑。
