爱德华的奇妙之旅 双语 第六章 01

一只瓷兔子怎么会死呢？

一只瓷兔子会淹死呢？

我的帽子还戴在我的头上吗？

这些就是爱德华穿越那蔚蓝的大海的上空时问自己的问题。太阳高照，爱德华听见阿比林好像从很遥远的地方在呼唤着他的名字。

“爱德——华，”她叫道，“回来吧!”

回来?这样叫显然是荒唐的，爱德华在想。

Can a china rabbit drown?

Is my hat still on my head?

These were the questions that Edward asked himself as hewent sailing out over the blue sea. The sun was high in the sky, and from whatseemed to be a very long way away,
Edward heard Abilene call his name. "Edwaaarrd," she shouted, "comeback."
Come back? Of all the ridiculous things to shout, thought Edward.

当他在空中身子抱成一团翻滚时，他设法再看阿比林最后一眼。她正站在轮船的甲板上，一只手抓住栏杆。她的另一只手里提着一盏灯笼——不，那是一个火球——不，爱德华意识到，阿比林手里拿着的是他的金怀表；她把它高高举起，它正反射着阳光。

我的怀表，他想，我需要它。

As he tumbled, ears over tail through the air, he managedto catch one last glimpse of Abilene. She was standing on the deck of the ship,holding on to the railing with one hand. In her other hand was a lamp- no, itwas a ball of fire- no, Edward realized, it was his gold pocket watch thatAbilene held in her hand; she was holding it up high, and it was reflecting thelight of the sun.

My pocket watch, he thought. I need that.
