And soon the green, wooded coast of the island was falling away behind them, and its little bays and headlands were beginning to look flatter, and the boat was rising and falling in the gentle swell. The sea began to grow bigger around them and, in the distance, bluer, but close round the boat it was green and bubbly. Everything smelled salt and there was no noise except the swishing of water and the clop-clop of water against the sides and the splash of the oars and the jolting noise of the rowlocks. The sun grew hot.
不久，那被密林覆蓋的綠色小島就被他們遠遠地拋在了身後，小船隨著海浪上下顛簸著。周圍的海域越來越遼闊，向遠處望去，藍藍的海水一望無邊，近處是小船蕩起的碧綠的波浪，浪花在船邊翻滾。空氣中充滿了海水的鹹味。海上安靜極了，只聽到海水撞擊船舷和船槳拍打水面的嘩嘩聲，以及槳架發出的嘎吱聲。天氣開始熱了起來。
