Sitting by the fire in the housekeeper's room, I approached that island in my fancy from every possible direction; I explored every acre of its surface; I climbed a thousand times to that tall hill they call the Spy-glass, and from the top enjoyed the most wonderful and changing prospects.

坐在管家房间的炉火旁，我在想象中从各个方向接近那座岛；探索岛上的每一寸土地；无数次登上那座名叫望远镜的高山，从山顶欣赏奇妙而变幻的景色。
