PARTTWOLife in Lillipulhe next daythe Emperor of Lilliput came to see meagain.I tried to speak to him in English, but he didnot understand me.I tried all the languages I knew,but he still did not understand me. He stayed abouttwo hours, and then he went away.He left somesoldiers in chargeofime.Some of the people from the city began to come near me.They,too,wanted to see the giant 2 man.Not all of them were friendly,however.Asmall group of them began to shoot arrows at me.The colonel in chargeof the soldiers was very angry, and he captured six of the ringleaders 3.He told the soldiers to tie them with ropes.Then he gave them to me topunish.I picked up all six men in my hand, and put five of them intoO1in charge of：负责看管。2.giant：巨大的·3ringleaders：（违法活动的）头目：21

The colonel and thesoldiers looked unhappy when theysaw me doing this-and the prisonerwas terrified! I put the knife near theman's body, and gently cut the ropes aroundhim. Then Iplaced him on the ground. I did the same thingwith the other five men. The soldiers and the people were veryhappy when they saw that I was kind to the men who had tried to hurtme with their arrows.The Emperor asked his government ministers what to do with me.They suggested that someone should teach me their language. I studiedvery hard, and in about a month I could speak it. Then I told theEmperor that I was tired of being a prisoner.I asked him to let me go.He said that he would consider my request. He asked me to be patient,and hetold metheywould treat2me well.Then the Emperor told me that he wanted his soldiers to search mefor weapons. Ireplied that I would show his men everything I had inmy pockets.The Emperor thanked me, but he explained that the lawwas very clear: the search had to be carried out a by the Emperor's menthemselves.He asked me to help the men carry outthe search. Iagreed to do this.I picked up thetwo men very carefully,and put them into mycoat pockets.The two men later wrote areport for the Emperor.This is what theysaid in the report:We found a very large piece of cloth in1.penknife：小撸刀。2.treat：对待。3.carried out：执行。22
Life in Liliputthe giant's right pocket. In his left pocket we found a very large metalbox. We asked the giant man to open this box for us. It contained a kindof powder 1 that made us sneeze a lot.Then we looked in thegiant's right waistcoat-pocket 2,We found some pieces ofwhite material, and these were tied withropes. We think these are papers,because there seems to be writingon them.The letters are verylarge-each letter is asbig as a man's hand!We found a huge machine in the giant's left waistcoat-pocket. This machine has about twenty pieces of metalon it.Wethink it is the giant'scomb3.In both of his trouserpockets we found a very longtube of metal attached to a piece of wood. We donot know what this is. Then we saw a very largechain that went into another pocket. We asked the giant to show us thewhole chain. He pulled it out of his pocket, and we saw a large machineon the end of it. This machine is round, and it has writing on it. Thismachine makes a huge noise. We do not know if the machine is ananimal, or a kind of god. We believe it may be the giant's god, becauseof something he told us, He said."I never do anything without looking at this first.'The giant has a belt around his body, and there are some objectshanging from this.We saw a huge sword s, the length of five men.WeO1.powder：粉末。4。altachedto与连接的。2，waistcoat-pocket：西装背心的口袋5.sword：剑3..comb：梳子。mwm23
Qullive's TravelsOalso saw a large bag on the belt.This contains some metal balls andsome black powder-we do not know what these are.I did not show the two men the pocket where I kept my glasses.The Emperor was very curious to see all the objects described in thereport. First he asked to see my sword. Then he wanted to see the 'verylong tube of metal attached to a piece of wood.I explained that thiswas my pistol, and I offered to fire it for him.I took some of theblackpowder', and put it into the pistol. Then I fired-the noise frightenedthe Emperor's soldiers very much! Next the Emperor wanted to see mywatch. He did not know what it was, but he was very interested in thenoise it made.Everybody in Lilliput was very happy with my behaviour,and thepeople began to trust me. Sometimes they came to dance on my hand.The children played hide and seek in my hair.The Emperor was very pleased with me as well,and he invited me tosee some special dances.These dances are performed in the Emperor'scourt, by his ministers and other important people, They are verystrange dances. For the first dance, they place a rope above the ground,and the ministers dance on this rope.The government minister whodoes the best dance is given a government job. These dances are verydangerous, and there are many accidents. Most of the Emperor'sministers fall off the rope sooner or later, and are injured.There is another kind of dance that is performed in the Emperor'scourt. This dance is performed for the Emperor, the Empress, and thefirst minister.The Emperor puts some coloured threads 2 on a table.Thethreads are blue, red, and green. Then the dancers enter the room, andthe performance begins. The Emperor holds a long piece of wood in91.hideandseek：提迷载（游戏）。2.threads：线24
