Chapter 6

Chapter SIX Mum, Dad, Honeyblossom, Pink Rabbit, and I made our way back to the beach. Early morning risers had started to appear and they were standing, gazing up at the mountain of shining plastic and metal. 'Where's it come from?' asked a man who was wearing a shirt with pink

第六章妈妈、爸爸、蜜花、粉红兔子和我一起回到海滩。 早起的人开始出现了，他们站在那里，凝视着那座由闪亮的塑料和金属组成的山。 “它是从哪儿来的？”一个穿粉红色衬衫的男人问

flamingos all over it. 'I just can't imagine!' said a lady in a big striped floppy hat. 'Well it certainly spoils the landscape,' said someone else.

到处都是火烈鸟。“我简直无法想象！”一位戴着大条纹软帽的女士说。 “嗯，它肯定会破坏风景。”另一个人说。

'It does, doesn't it,' agreed Mum. And she began to tell the people about how all the rubbish had been cleared up from the seabed and I followed her, telling everybody who would listen about the little turtle that had got stuck in the fishing wire. 'But that's awful!' said a little boy in turtle-patterned swimming shorts. 'I love turtles!' 'Me too!' said a lady in a pink bikini. 'Years ago there used to be loads of them swimming round this beach.' 'Maybe they'll come back now the rubbish has gone from the sea,' said Mum. 'I hope so!' squeaked the little boy,

“是的，不是吗？”妈妈同意道。 她开始告诉人们海底的垃圾是如何被清理干净的，我跟着她，告诉每个愿意听的人那只被鱼线缠住的小海龟的故事。 “可那太可怕了！”一个穿着乌龟图案游泳短裤的小男孩说。 “我爱乌龟！”“我也是！”一位穿粉红色比基尼的女士说。 “几年前，有很多鲨鱼在这个海滩游泳。“也许他们会回来，现在垃圾已经从海里走了，”妈妈说。 “我希望如此！”小男孩尖声说，

jumping up and down with excitement. Maybe we could put up signs?' said one of the hotel owners who had come outside to investigate. 'To remind people not to leave litter lying about.' 'And to recycle!' said someone else. 'I think that would be an excellent plan,' smiled Mum. Nobody's perfect but we could all try a bit harder to look after our world.' More and more holidaymakers were starting to come down to the beach now, and a few people were bringing wheelbarrows to cart away some of the rubbish to the recycling centre. Suddenly there was a shout and the lady in the pink

兴奋地跳上跳下。 也许我们可以贴些牌子？一位出来调查的酒店老板说。 “提醒人们不要乱扔垃圾。“还有回收！”另一个人说。 “我想那将是一个极好的计划，”妈妈笑着说。 没有人是完美的，但我们都可以再努力一点来照顾好我们的世界。”现在越来越多的度假者开始来到海滩，一些人推着独轮车把一些垃圾运到回收中心。 突然一声喊叫，那位穿粉红色衣服的女士

bikini started jumping up and down and pointing at the water. 'Look!' she said. 'Look!' In the sea were three big, beautiful turtles all happily swimming about. 'Wow!' yelled the boy. 'Amazing! Amazing!'

比基尼开始跳上跳下，指着水。 “看!她说。“看!”海里有三只又大又漂亮的海龟，它们都愉快地游来游去。 “哇!男孩喊道。“神奇!神奇的!”

'Just breathtaking,' said the man in the flamingo shirt. 'Let's hope we are able to keep it clean enough for them to stay.' 'Isn't nature incredible,' sighed Mum. I jumped up and down with excitement and then ran back into the hotel to our room to find my shell phone tucked under my pillow. I wasn't sure how to work it but I put my mouth to the opening and said 'Marina! Marina?' Then I put it to my ear and listened to the woosh, woosh of the sea.

身穿火烈鸟衬衫的男子说：“太令人激动了。” “希望我们能保持干净，让他们留下来。”“大自然真是不可思议，”妈妈叹了口气。 我兴奋得上蹿下跳，然后跑回酒店的房间，发现我的壳手机塞在枕头下面。 我不知道该怎么做，但我把嘴凑到开口说：“玛丽娜！滨吗?”然后我把它放在耳边，听着海的呜，呜。
