He looked up．'Don't then！'he said angrily．'You believe Simon，if you want to！He's a journalist，after all—I'm only a biologist，and your father．Why should you believe me？'He stood up angrily，walked to the door，and opened it．'I'm sorry，Christine．I've had a hard day，I'm tired，and I don't want to sit here listening to my daughter telling me I'm a liar．Go home to Simon．I'm going to bed！'
他抬起頭?！澳蔷蛣e相信，”他氣憤地說，“如果你愿意，你就相信西蒙好了！他畢竟是一個記者——我只是一個生物學家和你的父親。你為什么要相信我呢？”他氣憤地站起來，朝房門走去，打開門說：“對不起，克里斯汀，我這一天太艱難了，我累了。我不想坐在這兒聽我女兒說我撒謊。回家找西蒙去吧，我要睡了?！?/div>

'I know it is，Christine．But the paint factory's important too．It's given a lot to you，and me，and to the people of this town．Try to remember that，and forget about the seals for a while，can't you？'
“我知道它重要，克里斯汀。但是油漆廠也重要。它給了你很多，也給了我和這個城鎮的居民很多。難道你就不能試著記住這點，而暫時忘卻海豹嗎？”

“有嗎？你把這話告訴所有在公司工作、住在鎮上的人。當工廠由于西蒙那些愚蠢的文章而關閉時，他們將靠什么生存？他們能給孩子們幼豹的照片充饑嗎？”
Christine looked at him for a long moment before she went out of the door．'And what about children who play by the river，Father？What if they drink the river water？What then？'
克里斯汀望著他許久以后才走出門。“那么在河邊玩的孩子們怎么辦，爸爸？他們如果喝了河水怎么辦？那時該怎么辦？”

“沒人會喝那個地方的河水，”他說，“并且我已告訴過你，那對孩子們沒有危險?！?/div>
