Mrs. Dunstan had heard the cry and was coming down the path. She had also heard Rob's question and Captain Jim's answer.
鄧斯坦太太聽到叫聲，正沿路走來。她還聽到了羅布和吉姆船長的對話。
"All right, Son, run along," she called out.
“好吧，孩子，去吧，”她喊道。
"Don't get in the way of the men, and don't fall overboard."
“不要妨礙別人，也不要從船上掉下去。”
Rob heard the first part of her words, but, before she had finished, he was running down the road after the big captain.
羅布聽了話的開頭，但是還沒等她說完，羅布就跟在船長后面沿大路跑去了。
WHY ROB JUMPED OVERBOARD
羅布為什么從船上跳下去
When they reached the shore, most of the men had set off in their boats, and were trying hard to turn the great school of blackfish toward the land.
當他們到達岸邊時，大多數人已經乘船出發了，他們試圖將一大群黑鯨引向陸地。
More boats kept going out from the shore to help in the work. Soon there was a long line of boats beyond the fish, driving them toward the shallow water.
從岸邊不斷駛來更多的船只幫助他們，不久，魚的旁邊出現了一長排小船，把魚引向淺水區。
All the time the men were shouting.
那些人一直在喊叫。
The boys who were old enough to be in the boats were told to make all the noise they could.
船上年齡足夠大的男孩被告知要盡可能地制造噪音。
Rob was yelling at the top of his voice. Captain Jim steered the boat, while four strong men rowed it, splashing the water with their oars.
羅布大聲喊叫，船長吉姆掌舵，四個壯漢用槳潑水劃著船。
This shouting and splashing behind them frightened the blackfish and kept them swimming away from the boats.
喧鬧聲和濺起的水花把黑魚嚇壞了，它們離船更遠了。
Slowly the great school of fish was driven toward the land. Now they were moving along quietly,
一大群魚慢慢地朝岸邊游去，它們在后面靜靜地跟著，
"like cows" as the fishermen say, not even trying to break through the line of boats.
就像漁民說的，“像牛一樣”，甚至沒有試圖突破船的重圍。
They had almost reached the shore,
快到岸邊了，
when suddenly half a dozen blackfish turned and dashed for the open place between Captain Jim's boat and a smaller fishing-vessel that was next to it.
突然，六只黑魚轉身沖到吉姆船長的船和旁邊一艘小漁船之間的空隙。
If these fish were not turned back toward the shore, the others would follow them, and the drive would fail.
如果這六只黑魚不掉頭向岸邊游去，其它的魚就會跟著它們，這樣一來，“推魚”就不起作用了。
