与海豚一起游泳，作者Pam Holden，插画Harry Faulkner

This was the most exciting day that I have ever had. My uncle took me swimming with dolphins! We went far out on the sea in a big boat. We wore flippers and wet suits, and we took snorkels and masks to put on. The captain knew the best place to go to find some dolphins.

这是我度过的最激动人心的一天。 我叔叔带我和海豚一起游泳!我们乘一艘大船远航。 我们穿着脚蹼和潜水衣，戴上呼吸管和面具。 船长知道去哪里找海豚最好。

First we had to watch out for dolphins. Everyone was looking all around to see if there were any dolphins jumping out of the water. Before long, Uncle Isaac pointed to something that he could see far away. Some people had their cameras ready to take photos.

首先我们得小心海豚。 每个人都环顾四周，看是否有海豚跳出水面。 没过多久，艾萨克叔叔指着远处他能看到的东西。 有些人准备好了相机拍照。

Suddenly, there were two dolphins swimming along close to our boat. Then we saw three more dolphins jumping through the waves. We both put on our masks and got our snorkels ready. Splash! Splash! We jumped off the boat into the sea.

突然，有两只海豚游到我们的船附近。 然后我们又看到三只海豚在海浪中跳跃。 我们都戴上了口罩，准备好了通气管。 飞溅!飞溅!我们跳下船跳进海里。

We couldn't see any dolphins as we floated around in the deep water. "Where have they gone?" I asked my uncle. "Have we frightened them away?" Uncle Isaac pointed behind me at two big dolphins swimming near us. Then another one jumped up beside them. Everyone was very excited!

我们在深水里漂来漂去，看不到海豚。 “他们去哪儿了?”我问我叔叔。 “我们把他们吓跑了吗?”艾萨克叔叔指着我身后游过来的两只大海豚。 然后另一个人跳到他们旁边。 每个人都很兴奋!

Soon more dolphins were swimming near us. They made a sound like a whistle as they jumped and dived. Whee-ee! They were talking to us! One dolphin was diving up and down, making a clicking noise. Click-click, click-click! It looked as if it was dancing to music.

很快更多的海豚在我们附近游来游去。 他们在跳跃和潜水时发出像口哨一样的声音。 Whee-ee !他们在跟我们说话!一只海豚在潜水，发出咔嗒声。 咔嚓咔嚓,咔嚓咔嚓!它看起来好像在随着音乐跳舞。
