The whale watchers went onto their big boat. First they put on their lifejackets and their hats. Then they sailed out into the deep sea. Some of the whale watchers looked to the left for whales. Some people looked to the right "Where are the whales today?" they asked.

观鲸者上了他们的大船。 首先，他们穿上救生衣，戴上帽子。 然后他们驶进了深海。 一些观鲸者朝左边看鲸鱼。 有些人看向右边，问道:“今天鲸鱼在哪里?”

Suddenly a big whale jumped up. It made an enormous splash. "That one must be the Father Whale," shouted the whale watchers. "Look at his enormous tail!"

突然，一条大鲸鱼跳了起来。 它溅起了巨大的水花。 "那一定是鲸父，"观鲸者们喊道。 “看它那巨大的尾巴!”

Next a middle-sized whale jumped high. It dived back down again. "That one must be the Mother Whale," shouted the whale watchers. "She made a big splash, too."

接着，一只中等大小的鲸鱼跳得很高。 它又俯冲下去了。"那一定是母鲸了，"观鲸者喊道。 “她也溅起了很大的水花。”

Suddenly, they saw a small whale jumping out of the sea. "That one must be the Baby Whale," said the people. "He made a little baby splash."

突然，他们看到一条小鲸鱼从海里跳出来。 "那一定是那条小鲸，"人们说。 “他溅起了一点小水花。”

Baby Whale saw the whale watchers. He swam to the left and the right. Next he waved his tail at them. The people laughed, and they waved back to him.

小鲸鱼看到了观鲸者。 他游到左边和右边。 接着，他朝他们摇了摇尾巴。 人们笑了，他们也向他挥手致意。
