Isla and Magnus rent a canoe for the afternoon. The lake is calm, and the sun feels warm. They paddle out past the small dock. Magnus steers while Isla watches the shore.
艾拉和马格努斯租了一条独木舟，打算玩一个下午。湖面很平静，阳光暖洋洋的。他们划过小码头，向湖心划去。马格努斯掌舵，艾拉看着岸边。
After twenty minutes, Isla notices water near her feet. "Magnus, look," she says. "There's water inside the canoe." Magnus stops paddling and looks down.
二十分钟后，艾拉发现脚边有水。“马格努斯，你看，”她说，“独木舟里进水了。”马格努斯停下桨，低头看去。
"That's not good," he says. "We need to turn back." They turn the canoe around and paddle toward the dock. The water rises slowly around their feet.
“这可不妙，”他说，“我们得回去。”他们掉转船头，朝码头划去。水慢慢地在他们脚边涨起来。
A man at the rental stand waves them in. "Are you okay?" he calls. "We have a leak," Magnus answers. "Can we get a different canoe?"
租船处的一个男人向他们挥手示意靠岸。“你们没事吧？”他喊道。“我们这条船漏水了，”马格努斯回答，“能换一条吗？”
"Of course," the man says. "Come to the dock, and I'll help you." Isla and Magnus climb out and step onto dry land. Water pours out of the canoe as the man tips it up.
“当然可以，”男人说，“划到码头来，我来帮你们。”艾拉和马格努斯爬出来，踏上了干燥的地面。男人把独木舟掀起来，水哗哗地流了出来。
"Sorry about that," the man says. "This canoe is old. Take this one instead." He points to another canoe tied nearby.
“抱歉，”男人说，“这条船太旧了。换这一条吧。”他指了指系在旁边的另一条独木舟。
Isla and Magnus thank him and climb into the new canoe. They push off from the dock again. This time, the bottom stays completely dry.
艾拉和马格努斯向他道谢，爬进了新的独木舟。他们又一次从码头划了出去。这一次，船底始终干干爽爽。
