周日的海边

字幕原文

Every Sunday, we put on our best clothes and walked solemnly along the pier. 每个星期天，我们都会换上最好的衣服，一本正经地在码头上散步。

My father, in his frock coat and top hat, 我父亲穿着长礼服，戴着高顶礼帽，

gave his arm to my mother, 臂弯里挽着我母亲，

who was dressed up like a ship on a holiday. 母亲打扮得花枝招展，就像过节时挂满彩旗的轮船一样。

My sisters walked ahead, arm in arm. 我的姐姐们手挽着手走在前面。

I trailed behind, 我跟在后头，

being told to stand up straight and not get my shoes dirty. 总被提醒要挺直腰板，别把鞋子弄脏了。

And every time a big steamer came in from the horizon, 每当有一艘大轮船从天边驶来，

trailing black smoke, 后面拖着长长的黑烟，

my father would say the same words: 我父亲总会念叨起同一句话：

"Just imagine if Jules were on that one! “要是于勒就在那艘船上，你想想看！

What a surprise that would be!" 那该有多大个惊喜啊！”

He'd stare at the ship as if he expected his brother to wave a handkerchief from the deck at any moment. 他目不转睛地盯着轮船，仿佛下一秒就会看到弟弟在甲板上冲他挥舞手帕。

The dream of being rescued can make even the dullest Sunday feel like an adventure. 哪怕是最乏味的星期天，只要心里怀着被解救的幻想，也能让人觉得像在冒险一样。

We had already planned how to spend every franc he would bring home. 他会带回家的每一法郎，其实我们早就盘算好该怎么花了。
