Won from the Waves — Page 8

Chinese → English CHAPTER ONE. Level 6/10

她已经在顺风行驶,随后海雾再次笼罩了海洋,她的身影消失在视野之中。

She was already on a wind when again the mist closed over the ocean, and she was hidden from sight.

「我们让『南希号』保持原位,」哈利伯特说道;「我们不知道接下来会发生什么事。

"We will keep the _Nancy_ where she is," said Halliburt; "we don't know what may happen.

如果那艘船冲上沙滩——我担心她几乎没有什么机会能避开——我们不能眼睁睁看着船上的人遇难而不去设法救援;

If yonder ship drives on the sands--and she has but a poor chance of keeping off them, I fear--we cannot let her people perish without trying to save them;

虽然靠近残骸可能是件苦差事,但也许那些可怜的人中有些已经抓着木排或桅杆漂离了船,我们或许能够把他们接上来。

and though it may be a hard job to get alongside the wreck, yet some of the poor fellows may be drifted away from her on rafts or spars, and we may be able to pick them up.

无论发生什么,我们都必须尽力而为。」

Whatever happens, we must do our best."

「好的,好的,亚当,」他那几位站在他身旁的彪悍船员齐声应道;「你认为该去哪里,我们也准备跟着去。」

"Ay, ay, Adam," answered several of his hardy crew, who stood around him; "where you think fit to go we are ready to go too."

众人等候不久,最担心的事便应验了。

The party had not long to wait before their worst apprehensions were realised.

一声沉闷的炮响传来,他们那经验老到的耳朵判断出那是从诺顿沙滩方向传来的;

The dull report of a gun, which their practised ears told them came from Norton Sands, was heard;

又过了一分钟,第二声炮响在海面上轰鸣;甚至在同样的间隔尚未过去之前,第三声炮响随之而来。

in another minute the sound of a second gun boomed over the waters; a third followed even before the same interval had elapsed.
