船长叹了口气。
The captain sighed.
这是他见过的最浓的雾。
This was the thickest fog he had ever seen.
他们距离最近的陆地超过 330 公里,所以他不知道该往哪儿走。
They were over 330 kilometres from the closest land, so he didn’t know where to go.
这艘船正前往欧洲。
The ship was on its way to Europe.
仅仅十个小时前他们离开了纽约,但现在发动机停止运转了。
Just ten hours ago they left New York, but now the engine stopped working.
显然,他们需要帮助!
Clearly, they needed help!
突然,船长想起了信鸽。
Suddenly, the captain remembered the homing pigeons.
他迅速跑向它们,写了一封求救信,把信系在 “大蓝” 的腿上。
He ran to them quickly, wrote a message for help, and tied it to Big Blue’s leg.
“大蓝” 飞了起来,然后几乎立刻就回来了。
Big Blue flew up and then returned almost right away.
船长变得更加担忧了。
The captain became more worried.
“你是我们最后的希望,小家伙,” 船长一边把一张纸条系在阿尼的腿上,一边说。阿尼是两只鸽子中更小、更年轻的那只。
“You are our last hope, little guy,” said the captain as he tied a note to Arny, the smaller and younger of the two pigeons.
船长把它抛向空中。
The captain threw him into the air.
阿尼一圈又一圈地飞,越飞越高。
Arny flew around and around, higher and higher.
很快,这只鸟就飞离了船,船长再也看不到阿尼了。
Soon, the bird was away from the ship, and the captain couldn’t see Arny anymore.
“这是个好迹象,” 船长更有希望地说。
“That’s a good sign,” said the captain with more hope.
在差不多 340 公里外,比利听到快速扇动的翅膀声进入他的建筑,然后径直飞向水碗。
Almost 340 kilometres away, Billy heard fast-moving wings come into his building and go straight to the water bowl.
“嗨,小家伙。哇,你难道不是最渴的鸟吗!” 比利笑着说。
“Hi there, little guy. Well, aren’t you the thirstiest bird!” Billy smiled.
然后他看到了那张纸条。
Then he saw the note.
比利知道该怎么做。
Billy knew what to do.
他拿起纸条,以最快的速度跑向公司办公室。
He took the note, running as fast as he could to the company office.
在那里,他了解到阿尼在雾中飞行,越过海洋,飞了四个多小时。
There, he learnt Arny had flown in fog and over the sea, for more than four hours.
多亏了阿尼,人们给船送去了救援。
Thanks to Arny, people sent help to the ship.
船长后来解释说:“阿尼真的是最神奇的鸟!”
The captain later explained, “Arny really is the most amazing bird!”
