Grace Darling was the daughter of a lighthouse keeper. 格蕾丝·达林是一位灯塔守护人的女儿。

One stormy September night, she heard screams through the wind. 九月的一个暴风雨之夜，她隐约听到了风声中夹杂的呼救声。

At dawn, she saw them: 天刚蒙蒙亮，她就看见了：

a ship broken in two on a rock, 一艘船撞在一块礁石上，断成了两截，

a mile away, 距离他们有一英里远，

and people holding on to what was left of it. 有人正死死抓着仅剩的残骸不放。

"We have to go," she said. “我们得去救人，”她说。

"It's no use," said her father. “没用的，”她父亲说，

"We'd never reach them." “我们根本到不了那儿。”

"We can't just stand here and watch them die." “我们总不能眼睁睁看着他们死吧。”

So the two of them climbed into a heavy rowing boat, 于是，父女俩上了一艘沉重的划艇，

each with one oar, and pulled straight into the waves. 一人摇一支桨，迎着大浪划了过去。

At the rock, her father climbed onto the wreck. 到了礁石边，父亲爬上了残骸。

Grace held the boat steady by herself, in that wild water. 格蕾丝独自一人在狂暴的风浪中把小艇稳住。

One by one, the survivors were brought on board, 幸存者被一个接一个地拉上了船，

and they all made it back to the lighthouse. 最后大家全都平安回到了灯塔。

She was twenty-two years old. 那一年，她二十二岁。

In Britain, people still remember her name. 在英国，人们至今依然记得她的名字。
