I sat on a bench by the bay this afternoon, 今天下午我坐在海湾边的长椅上，

with nothing to do. 手头没什么事可做。

That almost never happens. 这种情况平时几乎不可能发生。

Far out on the water, there was one small sailboat. 远远的水面上，有一艘小小的帆船。

It was at the left edge of everything I could see. 它就在我视线所及的最左边。

I decided to watch it cross. 我决定看着它划过去。

It was so slow. 它开得特别慢。

For a while I thought it wasn't moving at all, 有一阵子，我都以为它根本没动，

and then I'd look at the lighthouse behind it 但接着我看了看它后面的灯塔，

and see that it had passed. 才发现它已经过去了。

I didn't look at my phone. 我全程都没看手机。

I just followed that white triangle, 就只是目不转睛地盯着那个白色的小三角，

the way you follow the second hand on a clock. 就像盯着钟表上的秒针一样。

It took forty minutes to reach the right side 它花了四十分钟才划到右边，

and slip behind the hill. 然后悄悄隐没在小山后面。

When it was gone, I felt as if I'd been somewhere. 等它不见了，我感觉自己仿佛也出了一趟远门。

I never left the bench. 而我其实一步都没离开过长椅。

Somebody else did the sailing, and I got the trip. 别人负责扬帆航行，而我享受了整段旅程。
