Swimming with Dolphins

Swimming with dolphins.

和海豚一起游泳。

1. Dreaming of dolphins My name is Danielle. When Mum told me I was going to swim with dolphins, I couldn't stop smiling. I'd seen dolphins in the water near my home in New Zealand and I'd dreamt of swimming with them. Mum took me to the marina where the dolphin boat was moored. Cathy, the guide, told me to get a mask, snorkel and some fins. She told me to put on a wetsuit. Then Mum and I walked down the jetty to the boat.

1. 梦见海豚 我叫丹妮尔。当妈妈告诉我我要去和海豚一起游泳时，我笑得停不下来 。我之前在新西兰家附近的水域见过海豚，一直梦想着能和它们一起游泳 。妈妈带我去了停着海豚观光船的码头。导游凯西 让我拿上面罩、呼吸管和脚蹼，还让我穿上潜水服。之后我和妈妈 沿着码头走到了船上。

Cathy showed me a list of things I needed to know. Mask helps you to see underwater. Snorkel helps you to breathe underwater. Wetsuit keeps you warm and helps you to float. Fins make you swim faster. Dolphin safety list. 1. Stay with the guide. 2. Do not try to touch the dolphins. 3. Put your hand up when you want to get out of the water.

凯西给我看了一张注意事项清单。 面罩能帮你在水下看清东西。 呼吸管能帮你在水下呼吸。 潜水服能给你保暖，还能帮你浮起来。 脚蹼能让你游得更快。 海豚互动安全须知 1. 全程跟在导游身边。 2. 不要尝试触碰海豚。 3. 想要出水的时候要举手示意。

Cathy showed me a poster of the types of dolphins we might see. Then I climbed to the top deck to meet the boat skipper. He showed me how the boat would safely navigate out of the harbour and into the ocean.

凯西给我看了一张海报，上面是我们可能见到的海豚种类。之后我爬到顶层甲板 去见船长。他给我演示了船只会怎样安全驶出 港口，进入大海。

We gathered together at the bow of the boat. Listen, Cathy said, when we find the dolphins, we'll watch them carefully before getting into the water. Dolphins are wild animals. They swim free. We don't want to do anything which will upset or harm them.

我们都聚集到了船头。 “听好啦，”凯西说，“我们找到海豚之后，要先仔细观察它们，之后再 下水。” 海豚是野生动物。 它们自由自在地游来游去。 我们不能做任何会吓到或者伤害它们的事。

2. Looking for dolphins As the bite moved through the water, we all looked out for dolphins. Oh, there they are! Kathy shouted. Seabirds were circling in the sky. Something was splashing in the water.

2. 寻找海豚 船在水面上行驶，我们都睁大眼睛找海豚。 “哦，它们在那儿！”凯西喊道。 海鸟在天空中盘旋，水里有什么东西在拍水溅起浪花。
