The most suitable fte the germans could think of in his honour was the celebration of jena and auerstadt . not only is he great ; his forefathers , his brothers , his step - children , and his brothers - in - law are great too 日耳曼人为他想出的最好庆典是耶拿和奥尔施泰特的庆祝活动，不仅他是个伟人，连他的祖先兄弟养子和妹夫都很伟大。

But i soon found it was impossible to avoid it ; for i saw the sea come after me as high as a great hill , and as furious as an enemy which i had no means or strength to contend with ; my business was to hold my breath , and raise my self upon the water , if i could ; and so by swimming to preserve my breathing , and pilot my self towards the shore , if possible ; my greatest concern now being , that the sea , as it would carry me a great way towards the shore when it came on , might not carry me back again with it when it gave back towards the sea 我想出的唯一办法是：爬上去坐一整夜再说，第二天再考虑死的问题吧，因为我看不出有任何生路可言。我从海岸向里走了几十米，想找些淡水喝，居然给我找到了，真使我大喜过望。喝完水，又取了点烟叶放到嘴里充饥，然后爬上树，尽可能躺得稳当些，以免睡熟后从树上跌下来。
