18 Why Islands Dont's Swim

Why Islands Don't Swim

为什么岛屿不游泳

Once there was a small island called Henry, and a whale called Doris. One day, Henry was lying in the sun, when Doris swam past. "Good morning, Henry," said Doris. "Would you like to come swimming with me?"

从前有一个小岛叫亨利，有一条鲸鱼叫多丽丝。 一天，亨利躺在阳光下，多莉丝游了过去。 “早上好，亨利，”多丽丝说。 “你愿意和我一起去游泳吗?”

"Don't be silly," said Henry. "Islands don't swim." "Why not?" asked Doris, and she flipped her whale-tail, splashing water all over Henry. "You rotter!" gasped Henry. "Don't do that again!"

“别傻了，”亨利说。 “岛屿不会游泳。”“为什么不呢?”多丽丝问，她甩了甩鲸鱼尾巴，水溅了亨利一身。 “你这个混蛋!”亨利喘着气说。 “别再那样做了!”

"Here I come!" shouted Doris, and she flipped her whale-tail. Henry dodged out of the way. He was good at it for an island. Every time Doris flipped her tail, Henry dodged. It was flip-dodge, flip-dodge, flip-dodge.

“我来了!”多丽丝喊道，甩了甩鲸尾。 亨利闪开了。 他在这方面做得很好。 每当多丽丝甩尾巴时，亨利就闪开。 是翻转-闪避，翻转-闪避，翻转-闪避。

They went that way and this, this way and that. They went faster and faster, and further and further. It was flip-dodge, flip-dodge, flip-dodge.

他们往这边走，往这边走，往那边走。 他们走得越来越快，越来越远。 是翻转-闪避，翻转-闪避，翻转-闪避。

HUGE WAVES rolled everywhere. The waves splashed on the shore and flooded the town. Boats were tossed here and there. Sharks swam down the streets. Turtles were tossed into trees. There were crabs in places that crabs shouldn't be.

巨浪卷得到处都是。 海浪拍打着海岸，淹没了城镇。 船被抛来抛去。 鲨鱼在街上游来游去。 海龟被扔到树上。 在不该有螃蟹的地方有螃蟹。
