The Whale Sound | 鲸歌

English Original

They dragged me by my legs, screaming and yelling for more than several hundred yards through the dirt and pine-straw to the waiting police car. All I could hear the entire time was the high pitched sound of that whale being harpooned again. As we pulled away in the police car I saw the deaf boy loosen his grip on the fence and slide very slowly to the ground and lower his head into the leaves and pine straw. That is when I realized that he probably really did love me and he wanted to save me because he thought that I too was making the whale sound.


中文翻译

他们拖拽着我的双腿,我一路尖叫呼喊,在泥土和松针上被拖行了数百码,直到那辆等候的警车前。整个过程中,我唯一能听到的,就是那头鲸鱼再次被鱼叉刺中时发出的尖锐声音。当警车驶离时,我看到那个失聪的男孩松开了抓着栅栏的手,身体非常缓慢地滑落到地上,将头埋进了落叶和松针里。就在那一刻,我意识到,他可能真的爱我,他想救我,因为他以为我也在发出那鲸鱼的声音。
