A steady pull; it tightens now: Oh! his old heart will burst with joy, As on the slippery rocks he pulls the breathing body of his boy.

握住扯紧，一步步拽拉，天呀！他简直心花怒放，落水少年，被拖上滑腻的礁石，他在喘息，查理还活着。

But in the dark now and no glow showing and no lights and only the wind and the steady pull of the sail he felt that perhaps he was already dead.

但是，在眼下的黑暗里，看不见天际的反光，也看不见灯火，只有风和那稳定地拉曳着的帆，他感到说不定自己已经死了。
