One by one, 一个接着一个,

just as the sun was setting. 正好赶上太阳落山的时候。
Right in front of her was a large ship, 就在她正前方,有一艘大船,
hung with hundreds of colored lanterns. 上面挂着成百上千盏彩色灯笼。
Music drifted across the waves, and sailors were dancing on deck. 音乐随海浪飘荡,水手们在甲板上跳着舞。

We don't choose what captures our heart; 我们会为谁动心,从来由不得自己,
it simply happens, often in a single glance. 它就这么发生了,往往只需要看那一眼。
Then, far out on the horizon, the clouds turned black, 突然,远方的海平面上乌云翻滚,
and a low rumble of thunder rolled across the sea. 低沉的雷声在海面上一阵阵滚过。
