When we arrived at the beach , our hearts were filled with pain from seeing scraps of paper , cigarette butts , beverage cans , remains of fireworks , bits of broken glass and abandoned machine parts everywhere in the area . it was like a garbage dump 大儿刚到海岸边时，看到地上满满的纸屑随意丢弃的烟蒂和饮料罐冲天炮的残骸玻璃碎片及废弃的机器零件等等，就像一个垃圾场一样，让人看了好心痛。
We made signs of thanks to them , for we had nothing to make them amends ; but an opportunity offer d that very instant to oblige them wonderfully , for while we were lying by the shore , came two mighty creatures one pursuing the other , as we took it with great fury , from the mountains towards the sea ; whether it was the male pursuing the female , or whether they were in sport or in rage , we could not tell , any more than we could tell whether it was usual or strange , but i believe it was the latter ; because in the first place , those ravenous creatures seldom appear but in the night ; and in the second place , we found the people terribly frighted , especially the women 我们打着手势向他们表示感谢，因为我们拿不出什么东西答谢他们。说来也巧，正当此时，出现了一个大好机会，使我们大大地还了他们的人情。当时，突然有两只巨兽从山上向海岸边冲来看那样子，好像后一只正在追逐前一只，究竟他们是雌雄相逐，还是戏耍或争斗，我们也弄不清楚。
The sub - tropical climate lures office workers to sun themselves in the early evening on the golden chain of pacific beaches ; million - dollar yachts chase rust - stained dinghies between the cream - and - green ferries on the harbour ; ships like concrete blocks glide under the harbour bridge to the container wharves , past tourists beaming over the gunwales of replica 18th century sailing vessels 亚热带气候吸引着白领阶层在傍晚时分的太平洋黄金海岸边享受阳光；港口里白绿相间的船只之间，价值百万的游艇追逐着斑驳生锈的小划艇；坚固如混凝土大楼的船只穿过港口大桥，驶入集装箱码头，游客站在仿18世纪的海船船舷上微笑着。
