《The Wake-Up Call at Five》封面

On the first night, Eudora went to the front desk. "Please call my room at five tomorrow morning," she said. "I have a boat tour at six."

第一天晚上,欧多拉去了前台。“请明天早上五点打电话到我的房间,”她说,“我六点有一趟游船。”

The receptionist gave her a small piece of paper. "Please write your room number and the time," she said.

接待员递给她一小张纸。“请写上您的房间号和时间,”她说。

Eudora wrote, "Room 14, 5 pm." She was very sleepy, and she did not see her mistake.

欧多拉写道:“14号房,下午5点。”她困极了,没有发现自己写错了。

She slept well. In the morning, the sun was high when she woke up. The clock said nine. The boat was gone.

她睡得很好。早上醒来的时候,太阳已经很高了。钟上显示九点。船已经开走了。

Eudora ran downstairs in her slippers. "Nobody called me!" she said.

欧多拉穿着拖鞋跑下楼。“没有人给我打电话!”她说。

The receptionist looked at the paper and then at Eudora. "You wrote five in the afternoon," she said. "We will call you at five this evening."

接待员看看那张纸,又看看欧多拉。“您写的是下午五点,”她说,“我们会在今天傍晚五点给您打电话。”

Eudora looked at the paper and put her hand on her face. "Is there another tour?" she asked.

欧多拉看着那张纸,用手捂住了脸。“还有别的游船吗?”她问。

"Yes," the woman said. "The evening tour leaves at six. It is the sunset tour. I can put you on it for free."

“有,”那位女士说,“傍晚的那趟六点开。是日落游船。我可以免费给您安排上。”

At five that afternoon, the phone in her room rang. Eudora sat on the bed with a cup of tea.

那天下午五点,她房间里的电话响了。欧多拉坐在床上,手边有一杯茶。

"Good afternoon," said a kind voice. "This is your wake-up call."

“下午好,”一个亲切的声音说,“这是您的叫醒电话。”

"Thank you," said Eudora. "I am already awake."

“谢谢,”欧多拉说,“我已经醒了。”

At six, she sat at the front of the boat. The sun went down behind the hills. The water turned orange and pink. Eudora took thirty photos.

六点,她坐在船头。太阳落到了山后面。水面变成了橙色和粉色。欧多拉拍了三十张照片。
