"Hi,William!"said the man.
“晦,威廉姆!”劃船的男人招呼他。
"Hi, Jack!" replied William, brightly.

"All your fowls washed away this morning?"
“你家里的家畜今天早上都被洪水沖走了嗎?”
"Yes,but it doesn't matter, you know the ducks can swim.”
“是的,不過這不要緊的,你知道,鴨子是會游泳的!”
"Orange trees gone, too?"
“橘子樹也被沖走了嗎?”
"Yes,but everybody said the crop would be failure anyhow.”
“是的,但是大家都說莊稼總有不行的那一天。”
"I see the river's reached above your windows, William.”

“那太好了,杰克。”威廉姆答道,“窗子正需要清洗呢!”
