【原文】

Homeward bound after unloading its cargo, a ship ran into a violent storm in the middle of a vast ocean.

The seamen were thrown into a panic. Without hesitation, the old but seasoned captain ordered water be poured into the hold immediately. "A mad man, isn't he?He is going to bring his own destruction by filling water into the hold and making the ship go down", grumbled a young sailor.

一艘貨輪卸貨后在浩瀚的大海上返航時，突然遭遇了可怕的風暴。

水手們驚慌失措，經驗豐富的老船長果斷地命令水手們立刻打開貨艙，往里面灌水。“船長是不是瘋了，往船艙里灌水只會增加船的壓力，使船下沉，這不是自尋死路嗎？”一個年輕的水手嘟噥著。
