"It's a good day for fishing," Luke said, as his dad put the boat in the water. "I'm happy you could come with us, Alex." "It's a good day for eating pizza, too," Alex laughed. "My Nan has made us pizza for lunch."

“今天是个钓鱼的好天气，”卢克说，他爸爸把船放进水里。 “我很高兴你能和我们一起去，亚历克斯。” “今天也是吃披萨的好日子，”亚历克斯笑着说。 “我奶奶给我们做了披萨当午餐。”

Dad and Luke and Alex set out in the boat, across the bay. Luke's dad found a place where the water was deep. "We'll get some good fish in this place," he said. Luke and Dad and Alex put their lines in the water. They waited. But the fish didn't bite. They put new bait on the hooks. But still the fish didn't bite. "Dad," said Luke. "Let's have our lunch now." "That pizza smells good," said Dad. "But I think we need to go back in. The wind has come up."

爸爸、卢克和亚历克斯乘船出发，穿过海湾。 卢克的爸爸找到了一个水很深的地方。 “我们会在这个地方钓到一些好鱼，”他说。 卢克、爸爸和亚历克斯把钓索放进水里。 他们等待着。但是鱼没有咬人。 他们在鱼钩上放了新的鱼饵。 但是鱼还是不咬人。 “爸爸，”卢克说。“我们现在吃午饭吧。” “那个披萨闻起来好香，”爸爸说。 “但我认为我们需要回去。 起风了。”

Luke was pleased they were going back. The waves were bigger now. Suddenly Luke shouted, "Dad! Alex! Look over there! There's something in the water." "Where?" Dad asked. "I see it!" said Alex. "You're right, boys," said Dad. "There is something there! I'll turn the boat around."

卢克很高兴他们要回去了。 现在海浪更大了。 突然卢克喊道:“爸爸!亚历克斯!看那边!水里有东西。” “在哪里?”爸爸问。“我看到了!”亚历克斯说。 “你们说得对，孩子们，”爸爸说。 “那里有东西!”我要把船调头。”

Luke said, "It's a kayak, Dad! There's someone in the water!" Dad shouted, "Luke, get my phone. Call for help. Tell them where we are and what's going on."

卢克说:“这是一只皮划艇，爸爸!有人在水里!”爸爸喊道:“卢克，把我的手机拿来。 打电话求救。告诉他们我们在哪里，发生了什么事。”

Dad took the boat near to the young woman. "Give me the rope, Alex! shouted Dad. "Luke, take the wheel. Keep the boat still!" he said, as he tried to get the rope to the woman. "Catch it!" Alex and Luke shouted together. "She tried," said Dad. "I'll have another try."

爸爸把船开到那个年轻女人身边。 “把绳子给我，亚历克斯!”喊爸爸。 “卢克，你来开车。保持船不动!”他一边说，一边试图把绳子伸向那个女人。 “抓住它!”艾利克斯和卢克一起喊道。 “她尽力了，”爸爸说。“我再试一次。”
