There were about three hundred of us, 我们大概有三百来号人，

sitting on wooden benches in a big half circle. 围坐在一大圈木长椅上。

All of us were staring at a hole in the ground. 大家全都眼巴巴地盯着地上的一个洞。

The sign said the geyser would go off at 2:15, 牌子上写着间歇泉会在两点一刻喷发，

give or take ten minutes. 前后差个十分钟左右。

We were from everywhere. 我们来自天南海北。

An old couple in matching hats. 有一对老夫妻，戴着同款的帽子。

Nobody talked to anyone else. 谁也没跟谁搭话。

2:15. 两点一刻到了。

Nothing. 没动静。

A little steam. 就冒了点热气。

Then the ground made a sound, deep, like a stomach. 接着地面发出了一声闷响，很沉，像肚子在叫。

And then it went. 跟着就喷了。

A white tower, fifty meters high, roaring, straight into the blue sky. 一道五十米高的白色水柱，咆哮着，直冲蓝天。

And three hundred strangers, all at once, said: "Ohhh." 三百个素不相识的人，不约而同地喊了声：“哇——”

The same sound. 发出了一模一样的声音。

In every language, it's the same sound. 不管哪种语言，这声惊叹都是一样的。

The old man in the hat was grinning at me. 那个戴帽子的老爷爷正冲着我咧嘴笑。

For one minute, we weren't tourists from different countries. 有那么一分钟，我们不再是来自不同国家的游客。

We were just people, looking up. 我们就只是一群仰望着天空的人。
