勒皮

我们在一个叫勒皮的法国小镇里待了一个月。

We spent a month in the French town of Le Puy .

在我快要离开勒皮他之前我听到了关于这事的谈话。

I heard a conversation about this shortly before I left Laputa .

我发现了勒皮他飞岛。

I had discovered the flying island of Laputa .

第10章勒皮他飞岛

Chapter 10 The flying island of Laputa

事实上，富有的勒皮他人请了个仆人，职责就是跟着主人到处走。

In fact ， rich Laputans employ a servant whose job is to follow his master everywhere .

尽管勒皮他人对我很和善，我并不想在这个国家呆多长时间，

Although the Laputans were kind to me ， I did not want to spend a long time in their country .

勒皮他人绝对是长相奇怪的人。他们的头总是或者向左或者向右转，他们的眼睛一只朝里一只朝外。

Laputans are certainly strange － looking people.Their heads always turn either to right or left ： one of their eyes turns inwards ， the other upwards .

当岛屿在我头上大约100米高时，他们放下一个拴在链条上的坐椅。我坐在上面，被拉上了岛屿。我发现了勒皮他飞岛。

When the island was about a hundred metres over my head , they let down a seat on a chain . I sat on it , and was pulled up to the island . I had discovered the flying island of Laputa .
