Selim travels with his daughter Halima. They stand at the ferry ticket window.
塞利姆带着女儿哈利玛出行。他们站在渡轮售票窗口前。
"Two kinds of seats today," the worker says. "Covered seats inside, or open seats on the deck." "The covered seats cost extra," the worker adds.
“今天有两种座位，”工作人员说，“里面有顶棚的座位，或者甲板上的露天座位。”“有顶棚的座位要多收费。”工作人员补充道。
Halima looks at the gray sky above the water. "The open seats sound cold," she says.
哈利玛看着水面上灰色的天空。“露天座位听起来会很冷。”她说。
"But the deck has a nice view," Selim says.
“可是甲板上的景色很好。”塞利姆说。
"I like watching the water," Halima says. "Let's sit outside," she says with a smile.
“我喜欢看水。”哈利玛说。“我们坐外面吧。”她笑着说。
They buy two tickets for the open deck. The ferry leaves the dock right on time.
他们买了两张露天甲板的票。渡轮准时离开了码头。
Wind pushes against their coats and hair. Halima pulls her hood up over her ears.
风吹着他们的外套和头发。哈利玛把兜帽拉上，盖住了耳朵。
The boat moves past small green islands. Birds fly low over the waves nearby.
船从一座座绿色的小岛旁驶过。附近的海鸟在浪花上低低地飞着。
"I am glad we picked this side," Halima says.
“我很高兴我们选了这一边。”哈利玛说。
Selim points at something near the boat. "Look, over there! A dolphin!" he says.
塞利姆指着船边的什么东西。“看，那边！一只海豚！”他说。
Halima leans over the rail and watches it swim. The wind is cold, and the ride is fun. They watch the dolphin swim away.
哈利玛趴在栏杆上，看着它游泳。风很冷，旅程却很有趣。他们看着海豚游远了。
Soon they can see the island ahead. Small white houses sit on the hill. Halima wants to see the market near the dock.
很快，他们看见了前方的岛。山坡上坐落着一座座白色的小房子。哈利玛想去看看码头附近的市场。
