It was an old riverboat, 那是一艘老式的内河客船，
the kind with a big red wheel at the back, 就是船尾带个红色大轮子的那种，
turning slowly and throwing up water. 轮子慢慢转着，激起阵阵水花。
Now it carries tourists, at about the speed of a bicycle. 现在它用来载游客，速度差不多就跟骑自行车一样。
For the first twenty minutes, I was restless. 头二十分钟，我心里直犯嘀咕，坐立不安。
We were barely moving. 船几乎就没怎么动。
I could see a man fishing on the bank, 我能看到岸上有个男的在钓鱼，
and five minutes later, I could still see him. 过了五分钟，我居然还能看见他。
Then I looked around the deck. 后来我看了看甲板四周。
A woman was knitting. 有个女人在织毛衣。
Two old men were playing chess, 两个老头在下棋，
and neither had moved a piece in a long time. 俩人都有好半天没走一步了。
Nobody was looking at a watch. 没一个人看表。
Because there was no "there." 因为这趟船根本就没有所谓的“目的地”。
The boat goes up the river, turns around, and comes back. 它就是顺着河往上开，然后掉头，再开回来。
The trip is the whole point. 沿途的过程本身就是全部的意义。
I put my phone in my bag. 我把手机收进了包里。
On that boat, I was the only one in a hurry, 在那条船上，只有我一个人在瞎着急，
and I had nowhere to go. 可我明明哪儿也不用赶着去。
