Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe 原文 Chapter Nine: Home in England When I came back to England, I felt like a stranger in the country. Many things were different, and not many people remembered me. I went home to York, but my father and mother were dead, and also my two brothers. I did find the two sons of one of my brothers. They were happy to learn that I was alive, and I was pleased to find some family. After some months I decided to go down to Lisbon in Portugal. I had friends there who could help me to sell my land in Brazil, and I needed the money. Soon I was ready to go home again - by land. No more adventures and dangers by sea for me! It was a long, hard journey. We had to cross the mountains between Spain and France in winter, and the snow was deep. Poor Friday was very afraid of the snow. In his country it was always hot, and he did not like cold weather. Back in England I found a house and began to live a quiet life. My two nephews came to live with me. The younger one wanted to be a sailor, and so I found him a place on a ship. After a while I married, and had three children, two sons and a daughter. Then my wife died, and my nephew, who was now the captain of a ship, came home to see me. He knew that I did not really like a quiet life. 'I have a fine ship, uncle,' he said. 'I'm going out to the East Indies - India, Malaya, the Philippines ... Why don't you come with me?'. And so, in 1694, I went to sea again, and had many more adventures. Perhaps one day I'll write another book about them. THE END

The opening chapters of "Anne of Green Gables" tell how a brother and sister, living together on a farm, have decided to adopt a boy. Matthew Cuthbert is now 60 years old and needs help working the farm. They have sent away to the orphanage, and the boy will be arriving by train. When Matthew goes to the train station with his horse and buggy, there is no boy,only a girl - Ann Shirley. Anne is no ordinary girl. She has a vivid imagination and loves to talk about things that interest her. Matthew,who is shy and quiet, takes an immediate liking to her. When they arrive home, however, his sister Marilla is very upset. She doesn't see what good a girl would be to them. Matthew says, "We might be some good to her. " After a while, Marilla begins to feel sorry for the thin little orphan and decides to keep her. But Marilla finds that teaching Anne how to behave properly is quite a challenge. Anne often does things without thinking first, and Marilla has to be vigilant to keep her out of trouble. As time goes by, Anne becomes accepted in the community and doesn't get into as many difficulties. One characteristic of the little orphan is a love of big words. While she lived a life of hard work, Anne liked to imagine beautiful things that she didn't have. This was her way of dealing with unhappiness when she worked as a servant for unkind people. Living at Green Gables makes her happy, but she doesn't lose her love of special words or beautiful things. Anne is also unhappy because she has red hair and freckles. In Anne's day, beautiful women were thought to have light clear complexions and black hair. Her coloring seemed unromantic. However,red hair and freckles are very common on Prince Edward Island, where many of the people are of Scottish descent. This story tells us a lot about how to be happy. When Matthew and Marilla stop worry about needing a boy, and start taking care of Anne, they find that they enjoy having her around. Their lives become much more interesting now that they have someone who needs them. So happiness involves looking after others, and being needed by them. There were many stories about orphans when "Anne of Green Gables" was written. Before modern medicine, many parents died before their children were grown up. A lot of mothers died in childbirth. Since fathers didn't usually try to raise young children in those days, someone else had to take the responsibility. This is what happened to Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of "Anne." Her mother died when she was a baby, and her father left her with her mother's parents. Montgomery's grandparents provided a good home for her, but they were very strict and stern and didn't have a lot of sympathy with the little girl. In her story, Montgomery is imagining how she would have liked her own life tohave happened. What if her grandparents had been more like Matthew and Marilla? What if they had allowed her to do more of the things she wanted to do? The story shows how young children are hurt by bad treatment from the adults looking after them? Even if the adults don't mean to be unkind, sometimes they say or do things that make children very unhappy. "Anne"teaches parents and grandparents to encourage their children and help them to be happy and successful. Anne Shirley is one little person who changes a whole community and makes it better. We all have special gifts and talents, and if we are allowed to use those abilities, they will benefit everyone around us. 翻译 红发安妮 一个世纪以来，红发孤儿安妮·雪莉的故事一直风靡全球。 《绿山墙的安妮》的开头几章讲述了一对住在农场的兄妹决定收养一个男孩的故事。 马修·卡斯伯特(Matthew Cuthbert)现在60岁了，他在农场需要帮助。 他们已经送孩子去孤儿院了，这个男孩将乘火车到达。 当马修骑着马车去火车站时，没有男孩，只有一个女孩——安·雪莉。 安妮不是一个普通的女孩。 她有丰富的想象力，喜欢谈论她感兴趣的事情。 马修害羞而安静，他立刻就喜欢上了她。 然而，当他们回到家时，他的妹妹玛丽拉非常沮丧。 她不知道女孩对他们有多好。 马修说:“我们可能对她有好处。” 过了一段时间，玛丽拉开始为这个瘦小的孤儿感到难过，并决定留下她。 但是玛丽拉发现教安妮如何举止得体是一个相当大的挑战。 安妮经常不假思索地做事情，玛丽拉必须保持警惕，让她远离麻烦。 随着时间的推移，安妮逐渐被社区所接受，也没有遇到那么多的困难。 这个小孤儿的一个特点是爱说大话。 虽然安妮过着艰苦的生活，但她喜欢想象她没有的美好事物。 这是她为不友好的人当仆人时处理不幸的方式。 住在格林·盖布尔斯使她很快乐，但她并没有失去对特殊词语和美丽事物的热爱。 安妮也不开心，因为她有红头发和雀斑。 在安妮的时代，漂亮的女人被认为是肤色明亮，头发乌黑。 她的肤色似乎不浪漫。 然而，红头发和雀斑在爱德华王子岛上很常见，那里的许多人都是苏格兰后裔。 这个故事告诉我们很多关于如何快乐。 当马修和玛丽拉不再担心需要一个男孩，并开始照顾安妮时，他们发现他们喜欢有她在身边。 因为有人需要他们，他们的生活变得有趣多了。 所以幸福包括照顾别人，被别人需要。 《绿山墙的安妮》写的时候，有很多关于孤儿的故事。 在现代医学出现之前，许多父母在孩子长大之前就去世了。 很多母亲死于分娩。 在那个年代，父亲通常不会抚养年幼的孩子，所以必须由其他人来承担这个责任。 这就是《安妮》的作者露西·莫德·蒙哥马利(Lucy Maud Montgomery)的遭遇。 她的母亲在她还是婴儿的时候就去世了，她的父亲把她留给了她的父母。 蒙哥马利的祖父母为她提供了一个很好的家，但他们非常严厉，对这个小女孩没有太多的同情。 在她的故事中，蒙哥马利想象着她希望自己的生活是怎样发生的。 如果她的祖父母更像马修和玛丽拉呢? 如果他们允许她做更多她想做的事情呢? 这个故事展示了小孩子是如何被照顾他们的成年人的虐待所伤害的。 即使大人们不是故意不友好，有时他们说的话或做的事情让孩子们非常不开心。 “安妮”教父母和祖父母鼓励他们的孩子，帮助他们快乐和成功。 安妮·雪莉是一个小人物，她改变了整个社区，让它变得更好。 我们都有特殊的天赋和才能，如果我们被允许使用这些能力，它们将使我们周围的人受益。

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe 词汇提示 1.mutiny 兵变 原文 Chapter Eight: Escape from the island I was now in my twenty-seventh year on the island, and I did not want to be there for another year. We worked hard to get the corn in, and to make a lot of bread. We had dried fruit and salted meat, and big pots to keep water in. One evening Friday went out to look for a turtle for meat and eggs. But in less than an hour he was back, and he looked very afraid. 'Master! Master!' he cried. 'There's a great ship near the island, and men are coming to the shore in a boat!' I jumped up and ran with him down to the shore. To my great surprise, I saw that it was an English ship! But why was it here? English ships never came this way. Perhaps they were pirates! 'Don't let them see you, Friday!' I called. 'We'll hide in the trees and watch. There were eleven men in the boat, but three of them were prisoners. Their arms were tied with rope, but their legs were free and they could walk. The other sailors pushed the three prisoners up the beach, laughing and shouting and hitting them. Then some of them sat down on the sand and began to drink. Others walked away to look at the island, and two men stayed to watch the boat. The three prisoners walked slowly along the beach and sat down under a tree, not far from us. They looked very unhappy. Very quietly, I came up behind them through the trees, and called out to them in English. 'Don't be afraid,' I said. 'I'm an Englishman. Perhaps I can help you.' The three men turned and looked at me. They did not answer at once; they were too surprised. Perhaps they thought I was a wild man myself, in my strange homemade clothes of animals' skins, and with my long hair and beard. Then the oldest man spoke. 'I am the captain of that ship,' he said, 'and these two men are my first and second officers. Last night there was a mutiny, and the seamen took the ship from me. Now they're going to leave the three of us here, to die on this island.' 'Do these mutineers have guns?' 'Only two,' he answered, 'and they've left those on the boat.' Friday ran back to my house to get all the guns, and the captain and I made a plan. The first part was easy because the seamen were not ready for a fight. We shot the two men at the boat, and the captain shot another man. This man, Tom Smith, was the worst of them all and he began the mutiny on the ship. Then the captain talked to the other five men, and they agreed to help him. They did not really want to be mutineers, but they were afraid of Tom Smith. 'Now,' I said to the captain, 'we must get back your ship. How many men are on it?' 'Twenty-six,' the captain replied, 'and they will fight hard because they won't want to go home. It is death for all mutineers in England. But not all the men are bad. I'm sure that some of them will help me.' Just then we saw another boat, which was coming from the ship to the shore. There were ten men in it, and they all had guns. We ran into the trees and waited. It was a long hard fight, but by now it was dark and this helped us very much. We ran here and there in the trees, calling and shouting. The seamen could not see us and did not know how many men they were fighting. In the end the first officer shouted to them: 'Put down your guns and stop fighting! The captain has fifty island people to help him. We can kill you all!' So the seamen stopped fighting and we took their guns. Three of the men agreed to come back to the captain, and we put the others in my cave. Friday and I stayed to watch the prisoners, while the captain and his men went back to fight for the ship. All night we listened to the sound of guns and shouting, but in the morning, when the sun came up, the captain was master of his ship again. I went down to the shore to meet him. 'My dear friend,' he cried. 'There's your ship! I'll take you to the ends of the world in it!' I put my arms round him, and we laughed and cried together. How happy I was to leave the island! My good friend Friday came with me, of course, but we left the mutineers on the island. We decided not to kill them; they could begin a new life on the island. I showed them my three houses, my cornfields and my goats, and all my tools. Their life would be easy because of all my hard work for so many years. And so, on the nineteenth of December 1686 – after twenty-seven years, two months and nineteen days -I said goodbye to my island and sailed home to England.

Some large cities like New York, Boston, Toronto and Montreal have subway systems. These same cities usually also have train service into the city. But most towns and cities do not have subways or trains. Some do not even have buses. Most big cities have some sort of public bus service. Inmost North American cities, people who use the buses complain about poor service. This is partly because most people prefer to drive a car. Automobile companies spend billions of dollars on advertising. They want to convince young people that they should drive a car as soon as they are old enough. Even when public transportation is very good, most North Americans prefer to drive cars. So mostly students, poor people and seniors use buses. The large car companies have a lot of economic and political power in North America. They can usually convince politicians to limit the money put into public transit. Lobbying by large car companies has been effective in closing down many railway lines. In some cases, large corporations have bought train tracks, and torn them up so that no one could use them again. Because of this, nearly all transportation in North America is by car, bus or truck. The automobile created the modern North American city. Cars allowed families to live outside the city and drive back in to work. Since the 1920s, large numbers of Americans have lived in the suburbs, and used cars to do nearly all their daily activities. People drive to school, to work, to the shopping mall, to the theater, to church and to doctors, lawyers and dentists. Because the modern city is so spread out, it is difficult to get where you want to go by walking, or even by bicycling. But the automobile also causes problems. Car accidents are a major cause of death and injury. Crowded streets and snarled traffic can lead to road rage. Young people often use cars as super toys. They enjoy driving very fast and take risks while driving. A high proportion of serious accidents concern drivers using alcohol or drugs. More recently, some people have accused cell phones of being a cause of accidents. About half of the air pollution in North American cities is caused by motor vehicles. The exhaust fumes from cars and trucks are part of this. The other part is that vehicles erode the surface of the highways. Small particles are torn loose from the road and thrown into the air as cars whiz by. Heavy trucks are particularly large contributors to particle pollution. Especially in hot weather, a layer of smog covers many cities. Because city roads are often crowded, the result is frequent traffic jams. When cars are moving very slowly, bumper to bumper, it adds to air pollution. Another problem with cars is that not everyone can afford one. The average car costs nearly $20,000 to buy, and about $4,000 a year to operate. So cars are also a status symbol. People with cars tend to move out of the city. As a result, downtown areas are usually where the poorer people live. For along time, many people have said that governments should try to make downtown areas more attractive to live in. This would include improving public transit, into and inside, the cities. Then some people may move back from the suburbs. And air pollution levels will decline. Right now, the large automobile companies and oil companies oppose these measures. Recently,there have been cuts to public transit in many cities. Whether these cuts continue, or whether they get reversed, is a big political issue in North America today. 翻译 公共交通 北美各地的公共交通差异很大。 一些大城市，如纽约、波士顿、多伦多和蒙特利尔都有地铁系统。 这些城市通常也有火车服务进入城市。 但是大多数城镇没有地铁或火车。 有些甚至没有公共汽车。 大多数大城市都有某种公共汽车服务。 在大多数北美城市，乘坐公共汽车的人抱怨服务差。 部分原因是大多数人喜欢开车。 汽车公司在广告上花费数十亿美元。 他们想让年轻人相信，他们应该一到年龄就开车。 即使公共交通很发达，大多数北美人还是喜欢开车。 所以大多数学生，穷人和老年人使用公共汽车。 大型汽车公司在北美有很大的经济和政治权力。 他们通常能说服政客限制公共交通的资金投入。 大型汽车公司的游说有效地关闭了许多铁路线。 在某些情况下，大公司买下铁轨，然后把它们撕碎，这样就没有人能再使用它们了。 正因为如此，北美几乎所有的交通工具都是汽车、公共汽车或卡车。 汽车创造了现代北美城市。 汽车让人们可以住在城外，开车回家上班。 自20世纪20年代以来，大量美国人住在郊区，几乎所有的日常活动都用汽车来完成。 人们开车去上学、上班、去购物中心、去剧院、去教堂、去看医生、律师和牙医。 因为现代城市是如此分散，很难通过步行，甚至骑自行车到达你想去的地方。 但是汽车也会带来问题。 车祸是造成伤亡的一个主要原因。 拥挤的街道和混乱的交通会导致路怒症。 年轻人经常把汽车当作超级玩具。 他们喜欢开得很快，喜欢冒险。 严重事故的很大一部分与驾驶员使用酒精或药物有关。 最近，一些人指责手机是交通事故的一个原因。 北美城市大约一半的空气污染是由机动车造成的。 汽车和卡车排放的废气也是其中的一部分。 另一部分是车辆侵蚀高速公路的表面。 当汽车呼啸而过时，路面上的小颗粒被撕裂，抛向空中。 重型卡车是颗粒物污染的主要来源。 特别是在炎热的天气，一层烟雾覆盖了许多城市。 由于城市道路经常拥挤，结果是交通堵塞频繁。 当汽车一辆接一辆地缓慢行驶时，就加剧了空气污染。 汽车的另一个问题是并不是每个人都买得起。 一辆车的平均售价接近2万美元，每年的运营费用约为4000美元。 所以汽车也是地位的象征。 有车的人倾向于搬出城市。 因此，市中心通常是穷人居住的地方。 很长一段时间以来，许多人都说政府应该努力使市中心地区更有吸引力。 这将包括改善城市内外的公共交通。 之后一些人可能会从地铁回去。 空气污染水平也会下降。 目前，大型汽车公司和石油公司对此表示反对。 最近，许多城市都削减了公共交通开支。 这些削减是否会继续，或者是否会逆转，是当今北美的一个重大政治问题。

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe 原文 Chapter Seven: Man Friday For two years I never went anywhere without my gun. I felt lonely and afraid, and had many sleepless nights. One night there was a very bad storm, and I thought I heard the sound of guns out at sea. The next morning I looked out, and saw a ship. It was lying on its side not far from the shore. Quickly, I put my little boat in the water and sailed out to it. There were two dead men on the ship, but no one alive. The bodies of the other sailors were lost in the sea. I took some clothes and tools, and also a box of Spanish gold and silver money. I was a rich man now, but what use was money to me? I could not buy anything with it. I wanted people, a friend, somebody to talk to ... somebody who could help me escape from my island. One morning I woke up and made a plan. 'I'll try to catch one of the prisoners of the wild men,' I said to myself. 'He'll be happy to be alive and perhaps he'll help me to escape.' I watched day and night, but for a year and a half there were no boats. Then one day five boats came. There were about thirty men and they had two prisoners. They made their fire on the sand and danced round it. Then they killed one of the prisoners and began to cook their terrible meal. The second prisoner waited under the trees, with two men to watch him. Suddenly, the prisoner turned and ran. The two men ran after him, but the other wild men were busy round the fire and did not see what was happening. The prisoner ran like a wild goat, and soon I saw that he was coming near the bottom of my hill. As fast as I could, I ran down the hill and jumped out of the trees between the prisoner and the two wild men. I hit the first man with the wooden end of my gun and he fell down, but I had to shoot the second man. The poor prisoner did not move. He was afraid of the noise of my gun. I called to him and tried to show him that I was friendly. Slowly, he moved nearer to me, but just then the first wild man began to get up from the ground. Then the prisoner spoke and I understood that he wanted my sword. How happy I was to hear words again! I gave him my sword, and at once he cut off the head of his enemy. Hurriedly, we hid the dead bodies under some leaves, and then left quickly. I took my prisoner to my secret cave on the other side of the island and gave him food and drink. After that, he went to sleep. He was a fine young man, about twenty-five years old, tall and well-built, with a kind face and a nice smile. He had a brown skin, black hair, bright eyes and strong white teeth. I decided to give him the name of 'Man Friday', because I first saw him on a Friday. When he woke up in the morning, he ran out to me. I was milking my goats in the field, and he got down on the ground and put his head near my foot. I understood that he was thanking me, and I tried to show him that I was his friend. I began to teach him to speak English, and soon he could say his name, 'Master', and 'Yes' and 'No'. How good it was to hear a man's voice again! Later that day we went back to my first house. We went carefully along the beach, but there were no boats and no wild men. Just blood and bones all over the sand. I felt ill, but Friday wanted to eat the pieces of men's bodies which were still on the ground. I showed him that this was terrible for me, and he understood. When we got to my house, I gave Man Friday some trousers, and I made him a coat and a hat. He liked his new clothes very much. Then I made him a little tent to sleep in, but for a few weeks I always took my gun to bed with me. Perhaps Friday was still a wild man and would try to kill me in the night. At first, Friday was very afraid of my gun. Sometimes he talked to it, and asked it not to kill him. Friday was a quick learner and his English got better day by day. I told him the story of my adventures and about life in England, and he told me about his country and his people. One day we were at the top of the highest hill on the island, and we were looking out to sea. It was a very clear day and we could see a long way. Suddenly, Friday began to jump up and down, very excited. 'What's the matter?' I said. 'Look, Master, look!' Friday cried. 'I can see my country. Look over there!' I looked, and there to the north-west, between the sea and the sky, was a long thin piece of land. I looked, and there to the north-west, between the sea and the sky, was a long thin piece of land. I began to think again about escape. Perhaps Friday wanted to go home too. Perhaps together we could get to his country. But what then? Would Friday still be my friend, or would his people kill me and eat me? I took Friday to the other side of the island and showed him my big canoe. It still lay under the trees. It was very old now, and there were holes in the wood. 'Could a boat like this sail to your country, Friday?' I asked him. 'Oh yes,' he answered. 'A boat like this can carry a lot of food and drink.' 'Then we'll make another canoe like it, and you can go home in it,'I said. But Friday looked very unhappy. 'Why are you angry with me?' he asked. 'What have I done? Why do you want to send me home?' 'But I thought you wanted to go home,' I said. ' Yes. But you must come with me. Kill me if you want, but don't send me away fromyou!' Then I saw that Friday was a true friend, and so I agreed to go with him. We began work on the canoe at once. Friday chose the tree himself - he understood wood better than I did - and we cut it down. We worked hard and in a month the boat was finished. Two weeks later it was in the sea, and we began to get ready for our long journey.

Sometimes,they have thought of this place as an enchanted world where the weather is always good and food is always easy to get. Sometimes,it has been a hidden valley in the mountains, or an island far out at sea. When the Europeans arrived in the South Pacific, they thought that they had found it. Islands such as Tahiti seemed about as perfect as possible. Nowadays,our cities grow larger and larger, and people have to work harder and harder to succeed. Many people would like to escape to a quieter, slower, more peaceful, more attractive environment. When summer holidays come, many people travel to Prince Edward Island in Eastern Canada. It has a mild summer climate, and hardly ever gets too hot or dry. The fields, trees, and crops stay green all summer. In fact, P.E.I. is famous for the many shades of green on the island. Its soil and dirt roads are red because of iron oxide in the soil. And visitors are never far away from the blue waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In late June and early July, the roadsides are covered with large purple flowers called lupins. The vivid colors of P.E.I. help make the province a photographer's paradise. Prince Edward Island is almost 100 miles long and about 20 miles wide. It is small enough that a tourist can see much of the Island in a couple of days. But there are enough interesting things to see and do that most people like to stay longer. One of the chief traditional occupations is fishing. Atone time, fishing was an important source of food and income for many islanders. Now the fisheries are in decline; boat owners find it more profitable to take tourists out to fish than to fish themselves. Lobsters and shellfish are still important to the Island, which is famous for its “lobster suppers”. Tourists can visit many picturesque little fishing villages all around the coastline. P.E.I.is famous for its potatoes, which are exported all over the world. Dairy farming is also common, and local ice cream is popular with tourists. Apple orchards, grain fields, hay fields, and vegetable gardening are also widely found. During the era of sailing ships, a lot of shipbuilding took place on the Island. But as steel hulls replaced wooden hulls, shipbuilding moved to regions where steel was being produced. The full impact of the industrial revolution has never hit P.E.I. Farming,fishing and tourism have remained the chief industries. There are no large cities on the Island. So,if young people want to go to the big city, they have to leave P.E.I. The majority of Island people prefer to live in small towns and villages, just as their ancestors did. Since there wasn't much industry on the Island, many people did not have a lot of money. As a result, they "made do" with their old houses, old furniture, and old ways of doing things. This is why visitors to P. E. I. sometimes feel like they are going back in time. Things on the Island seem like they are still the way things were in our parents' or grandparents' day. Most of the people who live on the Island are descended from British immigrants in the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. The majority of these were from Scotland, and the Scottish heritage remains strong. There are also some Micmac Indians and some French Canadians, or Acadians. The Island has generally avoided social and political strife, and this contributes to the peaceful atmosphere. Islanders welcome people "from away" as tourists. However,some say that to be a true Islander, you have to be born on the Island. Nonetheless,some tourists have fallen in love with P.E.I. and have gone there to live. A couple of years ago, a bridge was built to connect the Island with the mainland. Many opposed this "fixed link," saying that it would destroy the special P.E.I. atmosphere. It remains to be seen whether the Island will change, now that tourists can drive directly on to the rich, red soil. 翻译 爱德华王子岛 纵观历史，人们一直梦想着一个特殊的地方，远离日常的商业世界。 有时，他们认为这个地方是一个迷人的世界，天气总是很好，食物总是很容易得到。 有时，它是一个隐蔽的山谷在山，或一个岛屿在遥远的海上。 当欧洲人到达南太平洋时，他们以为已经找到了。 像塔希提岛这样的岛屿似乎再完美不过了。 如今，我们的城市变得越来越大，人们必须越来越努力地工作才能成功。 很多人都想逃到一个更安静、更慢、更平和、更有吸引力的环境中去。 暑假来临时，许多人去加拿大东部的爱德华王子岛旅游。 它的夏季气候温和，几乎不会太热或太干。 整个夏天，田地、树木和庄稼都是绿色的。 事实上，P.E.I.岛以岛上深浅不一的绿色而闻名。 它的土壤和土路是红色的，因为土壤中的氧化铁。 游客们永远不会远离圣劳伦斯湾的蓝色海水。 在六月下旬和七月初，路边开满了紫色的大花，叫做羽扇豆花。 P.E.I.岛以鲜艳的色彩使该省成为摄影师的天堂。 爱德华王子岛长约100英里，宽约20英里。 它足够小，游客可以在几天内看到岛上的大部分地方。 但是这里有很多有趣的东西可以看，可以做，所以大多数人喜欢多待一会儿。 捕鱼是主要的传统职业之一。 曾经，捕鱼是许多岛民的重要食物和收入来源。 现在渔业在减少;船主发现带游客出海捕鱼比自己捕鱼更有利可图。 龙虾和贝类对这个以“龙虾晚餐”闻名的岛屿来说仍然很重要。 游客们可以在海岸线上参观许多风景如画的小渔村。 P.E.I.以马铃薯闻名，马铃薯出口到世界各地。 奶牛场也很常见，当地的冰淇淋很受游客的欢迎。 苹果园、谷地、干草地和菜园也随处可见。 在帆船时代，岛上发生了大量的造船活动。 但随着钢船体取代了木制船体，造船转移到了生产钢铁的地区。 工业革命的全面影响从未冲击过P.E.I. 农业、渔业和旅游业仍然是主要产业。 岛上没有大城市。 所以，如果年轻人想去大城市，他们必须离开P.E.I. 大多数岛民喜欢住在小城镇和村庄，就像他们的祖先一样。 由于岛上没有多少工业，许多人没有很多钱。 结果，他们只好凑合着用他们的旧房子、旧家具和旧的做事方式。 这就是为什么来体育课的人有时会觉得自己回到了过去。 岛上的事情似乎仍然是我们父母或祖父母时代的样子。 住在岛上的大多数人是十八、十九世纪英国移民的后裔。 其中大多数来自苏格兰，苏格兰的传统仍然很强。 也有一些米克马克印第安人和一些法裔加拿大人，或阿卡迪亚人。 该岛一般避免了社会和政治冲突，这有助于和平气氛。 岛民欢迎“远道而来”的游客。 然而，有人说，要成为一个真正的岛民，你必须出生在岛上。 尽管如此，还是有一些游客爱上了P.E.I.，并去那里生活。 几年前，建了一座桥把这个岛和大陆连接起来。 许多人反对这种“固定联系”，称这会破坏P.E.I.的特殊氛围。 现在游客们可以直接开车到这片肥沃的红色土地上，岛上是否会发生变化还有待观察。
