ROB 1'S FIRST BLACKFISH DRIVE 罗布的第一只黑鲸
Edward Morgan 爱德华·摩根
Sometimes even a small boy or girl can do important work just as well as a grown man or woman. 有时甚至小孩可以身负重任，就像成年人一样。
Rob Dunstan, just old enough to go on his first trip with the fishermen, proved that this is true. 罗布·邓斯坦刚好到了第一次和渔民们出海的年纪，他证明了这一点。
When the trip was over, Captain Jim said to him, 航行结束后，吉姆船长对他说:
"Some day you'll make the best fisherman in the whole village." “总有一天你会成为全村最好的渔夫。”
Let's see what Rob did to make Captain Jim say that to him. 让我们看看罗布是如何让吉姆船长对他说这些话的。
THE BLACKFISH COME AT LAST 黑鲸终于来了
Rob Dunstan and Charlie Fearing stood on the high bank above the beach one summer morning, looking out over the bay 2. 夏天的一个早晨，罗布·邓斯坦和查理·费神站在海滩上的高高的河岸上，眺望着海湾。
"I don't see a sign of blackfish," said Charlie. “我没有看到有黑鲸，”查理说。
" Neither do I," answered Rob. "I guess we might as well go home." “我也是，”罗布回答说。“我想我们还是回家吧。”
"Maybe there'll be a school of them tomorrow," said Charlie. “也许明天会来一群，”查理说。
"Blackfish don't seem to be so plentiful 3 as they used 4 to be," said Rob sadly 5. “黑鲸似乎不像以前那么多了，”罗布伤心地说。
"Why, my mother says she can remember the time when four or five schools came into the bay every summer; “为什么，我妈妈说，她还记得每年夏天有四五群黑鲸来到这个海湾，
and last year there was only one." 去年只有一群。”
Blackfish are really a small kind of whale, from fifteen to twenty feet long. 黑鲸实际上是一种小型鲸鱼，身长15到20英尺。
