06 Women and Children First

Chapter 6 Women and Children First. Annie led everyone down the hall to the stairs away from the cold seawater. As she and Lucy helped William up the stairs, Jack and Teddy followed. Halfway up the staircase, Teddy let out a yelp. Jack looked back. The water was creeping up the stairs, step by step. Come on, Jack! Annie shouted.

第六章 妇女儿童优先。安妮领着大家沿着走廊往楼梯走去 远离冰冷的海水。她和露西扶着威廉上楼时，杰克 和泰迪跟在后面。爬到楼梯一半的时候，泰迪嗷地叫了一声。杰克扭头 看去。海水正顺着台阶一级一级往上漫呢。 快点，杰克！安妮大声喊道。

Jack ran up the rest of the stairs. He and Annie led William and Lucy through the smoky room. The men were still playing cards. To the lifeboats! Annie yelled at the card players. Right now, hurry! The men smiled at her again. Little girl, one said with a laugh, even if this ship does sink, it will take all night. There's plenty of time for everyone on board to be rescued. Indeed, many ships are on their way right now. Another man said in a soothing voice, there's nothing to worry about. Not true, said Annie. Lucy turned to Jack. This doesn't sound so bad after all, she said.

杰克快步跑完了剩下的楼梯。 他和安妮领着威廉和露西穿过烟雾弥漫的房间。 那些男人们还在玩牌。 快去救生艇那边！安妮冲玩牌的人喊道。 现在就去，快点！ 男人们又对着她笑了。 小姑娘，其中一个人笑着说， 就算这艘船真的要沉，也得一整晚才沉得完呢。 船上所有人都有足够的时间获救的。 真的，现在好多船正往这边赶呢。 另一个男人用安抚的语气说道， 没什么好担心的。 才不对呢。安妮说。 露西转头看向杰克。 听起来好像也没那么糟嘛，她说。

It is bad. Please trust me said Jack. We have to keep going They went outside the crowd on the third -class deck had grown many wore life belts, but no one here seemed very worried yet Jack and Annie pulled Lucy and William along they hurried through the crowd and down the first -class hall They came to the end and trooped up the grand staircase on the top deck The Titanic was as bright as a Christmas tree a band played lively music With a hiss and rush of light a rocket streaked into the sky It made a loud boom then it burst into many colored balls Shivering in the cold William laughed and clapped

情况很糟。请相信我，杰克说。我们得继续往前走。 他们走到外面，三等舱甲板上的人越来越多，很多人都系着救生衣，但这会儿好像还没人特别担心。 杰克和安妮拉着露西和威廉，急匆匆穿过人群，顺着头等舱的走廊往前走。 他们走到走廊尽头，一起爬上通往顶层甲板的豪华大楼梯。 泰坦尼克号亮得像一棵圣诞树，一支乐队正在演奏轻快的音乐。 伴随着嘶的一声响，一道亮光闪过，一枚信号火箭蹿上了天空。 它发出嘭的一声巨响，然后炸开成好多五颜六色的光球。 威廉冻得直哆嗦，还是笑着拍起了手。

Fireworks, he said. Lucy smiled at Jack and Annie. This is a trick, isn't it? She said, you've brought us to a party. No, it isn't, said Jack. Don't you remember the water downstairs?

是烟花耶，他说。 露西对着杰克和安妮笑了。 这是个恶作剧对不对？ 她说，你们把我们带到派对上来了对吧。 不，不是的。杰克说。 你不记得楼下的水了吗？

Lucy's smile faded. Women and children first! Someone shouted. That's you! said Annie. Come on! She pulled Lucy and William toward a lifeboat.

露西的笑容消失了。 妇女儿童优先！ 有人大喊道。 说的就是你们！安妮说。快走吧！ 她拉着露西和威廉朝一艘救生艇走去。
