"賈森,你要過來嗎？"我的朋友馬特朝我喊道。"Yeah,"Isaid."Justenjoyingtheview,"fromdryland,Iaddedsilently,worriedtheymightdeemmyfearpatheticiftheyknew.我說："好,就是欣賞一下景色",又在心里默默加了一句——在岸上欣賞。擔心如果他們知道我害怕水而可憐我。SuddenlyIheardshoutinginFrench.Amobofpeoplewererunningintothesea,fullyclothed.That'sodd,Ithought.突然,我聽到有人用法語喊叫。接著看見一群人沒脫衣服,就沖到海里。我心想,這真是太奇怪了。Iglimpsedsomethingmovingupanddownamidthewaves,pasttheendofthejetty.Igasped,realizingthecatastrophewithhorror.That'salittleboyoutthere!Thewould-berescuersfoughtagainstthetide,butthesituationwasbleak.Withthewater'stow,they'dnevergettohimintime.我瞥見防波堤盡頭的海浪中有個東西在上下浮動。我驚恐地意識到大事不妙,倒吸了一口涼氣,那居然是個小男孩！前去救落水男童的人們搏擊著海浪,但情況卻不樂觀。由于水的拉拽,他們根本不可能及時到游小男孩身邊。Ilookedbackattheboy.Hisheadpoppedup,thenawavecrashedoverhimandhedisappearedforamoment;Ihadtointervene.我扭頭看看那小男孩。他的頭剛露出水面,然后一個浪頭打過來,好一陣不見蹤影——我不得不做點什么了。Iappraisedthesituationandrealized-thejetty!Theboywasclosetoit;maybeIcou2/6

我在防波堤的邊上迅速轉(zhuǎn)過身來,深信會看見某個游泳健將正向著小男孩劈波斬浪。但是讓我沮喪的是,一個人也沒有。我回身面向大海,看見25碼開外惡浪擊打著小男孩。我深吸一口氣,縱身躍入水中。一跳進水里,我感覺仿佛又回到了當年的那個游泳池,我喘不過氣,拼命掙扎,驚恐萬分。咸水刺痛了我的雙眼。"集中注意力,"我在心里喊道。"他在哪里？"Then,withclarity,Isawathinarmwavingweaklyafewyardsaway.Iswamwithallmystrength,reachingtheboyjustashesankbelowthesurface.Igrabbedhisarmandpulled.Hepoppedbackup,eyeswidewithterror,pawingandtwistingagainstme."Repose<Calmdown>!"IcommandedtheboyinFrench.Hisstrugglingwouldderailanyrescueattempt,andwe'dbothperish."Repose!"Icommandedagain.Thankfully,thistimehelistened,andwasstill.然后我清楚地看到一只細小的手臂在離我?guī)状a處微弱地揮動著。我拼盡全力游過去,在他剛要沒水之時趕到了。我抓住他的手臂拉他。他冒出水面,眼睛因恐懼瞪得很大,胡亂抓扯著我。我用法語命令他："別慌！"他這樣掙扎會阻礙救援,那我們倆就都死定了。我再次命令他："別慌！"謝天謝地,這次他聽話了,不動了。WhenIturnedbacktowardshoreawavepoundedoverus.Thejettywasfurtheraway!TheripcurrentItwasforciblydraggingusouttothesea.Ifoughttogetusbacktoland,butmadelittleprogress.IknewI'dneverbeabletoescorthimbacklikethis.當我轉(zhuǎn)身朝岸邊游去的時候,一個浪劈頭蓋臉打來。我們離防波堤更遠了！是裂流！它強行把我們拽往大海深處。我掙扎著想帶他游回岸上,但進展甚微。我知道這種游法根本沒法護著他返回岸邊。Desperatetosurvive,IrememberedwhatI'dlearnedinmylifesavingclass:Never,everswimagainsttheripcurrent!Swimsidewaystothepullofthecurrentandslowly4/6
