5 A Strange Visitor

Chapter 5 A Strange Visitor We all looked up. Sure enough, in the distance there was a shark fin sticking out of the water! "WOW!" everybody said, which is "MOM" upside down. "Eeeeeeeeeeeek!" somebody screamed. Sharks are scary! My friend Billy, who lives around the corner, told me a shark can bite your head off like it's eating grapes. I saw a movie where this shark ate a bunch of people. In the end some guy threw a tank filled with gas in the shark's mouth and blew it up. It was cool. Everybody on the beach was yelling and screaming and freaking out. You should have been there!

我们都抬起头来。 果然，在远处有一个鲨鱼鳍伸出水面！“哇！”每个人都说，这是“妈妈”的上下颠倒。 “Eeeeeeeeeeeek !”有人尖叫。 鲨鱼很可怕！我的朋友比利住在附近，他告诉我鲨鱼可以像吃葡萄一样咬掉你的头。 我看过一部电影，鲨鱼吃了一群人。 最后，有人把一个装满汽油的罐子扔进了鲨鱼的嘴里，把它炸了。 很酷。海滩上的每个人都在大喊大叫，吓坏了。 你应该去的！

Mr. Sunny blew his whistle and shouted, "Everybody out of the water! Leave this to me. I know how to handle sharks. I'll lure it away from the beach." Then he went running into the ocean. "Mr. Sunny is sooooooo brave!" Andrea sighed. "That's not brave," I said. "That's dumb. The shark could bite his head off like a grape."

桑尼先生吹着口哨喊道：“所有人都从水里出来！这件事交给我吧。 我知道怎么对付鲨鱼。 我要把它从海滩上引开。” 然后他跑进了海里。 “Sunny先生太勇敢了！”安德里亚叹了口气。 “这不是勇敢，”我说。 “这是愚蠢的。鲨鱼可以像咬葡萄一样咬掉他的头。”

We all watched as Mr. Sunny dived into the water. He was swimming right toward the shark! What a dumbhead! I was sure the shark was going to bite Mr. Sunny's head off like a grape. But it didn't. Because just as Mr. Sunny reached the shark, we figured something out. It wasn't a shark after all! No, it was a guy with a shark fin strapped to his back! Mr. Sunny dragged him up onto the beach. The guy was wearing flippers and a

我们都看着桑尼先生潜入水中。 他正朝鲨鱼游去！真是个笨蛋！我确信鲨鱼会像咬葡萄一样咬掉桑尼先生的头。 但事实并非如此。因为就在桑尼先生靠近鲨鱼的时候，我们发现了一些事情。 它根本不是鲨鱼！不，是一个背上绑着鲨鱼鳍的家伙！桑尼先生把他拖到海滩上。 那家伙穿着脚蹼和

diving mask. We all gathered around. I thought Mr. Sunny might have to give the guy mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He was choking and spitting out water. "Glub, glub," said the guy. "Are you okay, dude?" asked Mr. Sunny. "G'day, mates!" the guy said. He had a funny voice. "Yes, I believe I am okay." "What's your name, man?" asked Mr. Sunny. "George Granite." "Dude, why do you have a shark fin attached to your back?" Mr. Sunny asked. "You scared us to death, man!" "I am a long-distance swimmer," Mr. Granite said. "Sometimes I roll over on my back, and the fin helps me stay in a straight line." "Where did you swim from?" somebody asked.

潜水镜。我们都围了过来。 我还以为桑尼先生要给他做人工呼吸呢。 他噎住了，还在吐水。 “咕咕，咕咕，”那家伙说。 “你还好吗，伙计？”Sunny先生问。 “你们好，伙计们！” 他的声音很滑稽。“是的，我相信我没事。” “你叫什么名字，伙计？”阳光先生问。 “乔治花岗岩。”“老兄，你为什么背上有个鱼翅？”桑尼先生问。 “你把我们都吓死了，伙计！”“我是一名长距离游泳运动员，”格拉尼特说。 “有时我仰面翻滚，鱼鳍帮助我保持直线。” “你从哪里游来的？”有人问。

"Australia." WHAT???!!! "Australia?!" I said. "That's like a million hundred miles away!" "You swam all the way across the Pacific Ocean?" asked Andrea. "Well, I did stop to rest on a passing turtle," Mr. Granite said. It was totally amazing. But if you ask me, people who swim across oceans with shark fins on their backs are weird.

“澳大利亚”。什么? ? ! !“澳大利亚? !”我说。 “那好像是一百万里外！”“你游过了太平洋？”安德里亚问。 “嗯，我确实停下来在一只路过的乌龟身上休息了一下，”格拉尼特说。 这真是太棒了。但如果你问我，我觉得那些背着鲨鱼鳍游过海洋的人很奇怪。
