The Two Captains

Once there were two ships. Both ships carried cotton. The captains were very different. Thomas was strict. He made his crew engage in difficult tasks. "Make sure the ship's deck is firm and that nothing falls! Put more fuel in the tank!" he said. His ship was very plain, but he never had a problem with it.

曾经有两艘同样是运送棉花的船,但两名船长却有所不同。托马斯很严格,他要求船员完成困难的任务。“确保甲板的坚固,别掉下去!多加点燃料!”他对船员说。他的船很简朴,但从未出过事故。

The second captain, William, was not serious. He had a grand ship, and he loved having fun. His crew amused him by singing and dancing. But his crew never fixed anything on the ship. They just wanted to surf.

另一艘船的船长威廉却并不这么严谨。他的船很大,而且他本人也喜欢取乐。船员们为了让他高兴而载歌载舞,但从不修理船上的任何东西。他们任由船在海上漂。

One day, Thomas saw a hurricane ahead. He knew that his ship needed to turn around. But he was sure William did not see the storm. He adjusted the dials on the radio and called his friend. Thomas said, "You'll hit the reef. It's made completely of coral. Turn around to ensure that you do not crash."

有一天,托马斯看到前面将有飓风袭来。他知道必须调头,但他同时又肯定威廉无法预知风暴的来临。他通过对讲机呼唤威廉:“你们就要触礁了,那全是珊瑚礁。赶紧调头免得撞船。”

William said, "We will go under the deck and shut the door. We will dance and sing until we are past the danger zone."

威廉回应道:“我们到甲板下面去,并把门关上。等通过了这段危险区域我们再出来。”

When William's ship got to the hurricane, the wind blew it into the reef. The ship crashed, and water flowed below the deck. William's crew accused him of being a bad captain. The loss of the ship taught William a lesson. There are times to have fun, but there are also times to be serious.

飓风来临时,威廉的船被刮到了礁石群并触礁了。海水从船底部渗入。船员们都责怪威廉这个不称职的船长。威廉也因此吸取了一个教训,那就是该玩时要玩,该严肃时就要严肃。
