救命啊~~ Diver! Diver! Are you OK?


抵达码头时,天气晴朗,皮皮的心情也极为朗爽。
Upon arriving at the jetty, the weather was clear and PiPi's mood was cheerful.

退潮的水位让载客的船艇整齐地搁浅在码头旁。旅客也耐心地等候水位回升。绝大部分的旅客都是钓手,一支支钓杆好像高尔夫球杆似的有长有短。在等待的当儿,钓手们径自将钓杆装备起来。杆柄细又长,扶手粗粗地裹着手垫。把杆柄拴上扶手后,手握着扶手做势挑动以确定栓紧。这些钓手们心里是不是已经想象到大尾的鱼上钩了。就在水位已经撑起船艇,大家都整装待发之际,一颗颗剔透的雨水噼里啪啦地从天而降。
Low tide sea water level allowed the boats to park neatly alongside the jetty. Passengers waited patiently for the tide to rise. Most of them were here to fish. Their fishing rods were like the golf clubs: some were long and some were short. While waiting, they started assembling their fishing rods. Main bodies of the fishing rods were slender and long, and handles were sponge-coated. After each body and each handle were assembled, the fishing rod is shaken while the handle is held. In their minds, these anglers probably imagined a huge fish at the end of their lines. By the time the tide was in, everyone was ready to make a move. But crystal-clear raindrops started to fall from the sky.

由于海浪汹涌,船艇决定延迟出发。等待雨停的时刻有多么的无聊就不加以形容了。差不多让皮皮吃了碟椰浆饭,一碗咖喱面,再回到车里小阗片刻。断断续续地做了些让皮皮冒汗的梦。朦朦胧胧看见一丁掉入漩涡里,皮皮拉住一丁的手试图将他拉上来,结果一起坠入漩涡。。。感觉这好像是个不祥之兆。
In view of the choppy waves, boat captains decided to delay their departures. Needless to describe how boring it was to wait for the rain to stop. PiPi had a plate of nasi lemak and a bowl of curry mee. Afterward, PiPi took a short nap in the car. PiPi had a bad dream which made her sweaty:- Dimly PiPi saw Teddy falling into a whirlpool. PiPi tried to reach Teddy and pull him out. Both ended up falling together.... This was indeed a bad omen.


等到太阳顶在头顶时,雨好不容易停了,浪涛可没有放缓。一路颠簸,昏昏沉沉地来到潜水中心。潦草地吃了顿午餐,漏夜驱车的倦意瞬间为之一振。一丁还嚷着要睡个午觉,皮皮已经迫不及待地换上潜水服催促一丁下水了。从岛上的小码头上,隐约看到好多小鱼群聚集在靠岸的船下。一丁摸姐似地在潜水眼镜上涂牙膏,将重磅放入潜水外套。皮皮跳入水里和鱼儿共泳,少了呼吸的嘈杂声,鱼儿更愿意贴近皮皮,皮皮也乐得享受这非一般的亲密接触。
When the sun was almost overhead, rain finally stopped, but the waves were still choppy. It was a long and bumpy ride from the jetty to the island. After a quick lunch, our fatigue vanished. Teddy was still feeling tired and wanted to have an afternoon nap. PiPi excitedly changed to her wetsuit and urged Teddy to go diving. At the jetty on the island, PiPi saw several schools of small fishes under the boats. Teddy sluggishly applied toothpaste on his mask, and put weights on his BCD. PiPi jumped into the water and swam among the fish. Not hearing the sound of the noisy breathing, fishes stayed close to PiPi, and PiPi enjoyed this extra-ordinary intimate contact.




摸姐一丁准备好后,皮皮回到小码头,背上沉重的氧气筒,与一丁一块儿巨人步伐地大步跨入海里。经过早上一场豪雨,海里能视度近乎半盲(不超过3米)。水里的暗涌也忽急忽缓。皮皮吃力地逆水游离小码头去参观潜水中心所建造的人工珊瑚,仿佛进入了海底游乐场。新起的人工珊瑚还没长大,看起来更像是裹了层灰尘。小不点的鱼儿已爱到这里觅食和躲猫猫。相对比较成熟的人工珊瑚自成一格,和大自然打成一片。甚至还有鱿鱼在里头怡然自得。
By the time Teddy got ready, PiPi was already back onto the jetty. Wearing heavy oxygen tanks on their backs, both took a giant leap into the water. After the morning rain, the underwater visibility was nearly gone (less than 3m). The underwater surge was swift and strong. It was quite difficult to swim away from the jetty. We visited the artificial reefs built by the dive centre. These reefs were so much like a playground. Newly built reefs were still young and looked like having a coat of dust on them. Tiny fishes loved to be there for food and playing hide-and-seek. Matured reefs blended in very well with this environment. Squids had their sweet moments there.

就在皮皮看得眼花缭乱时,一丁突然慌乱地游向皮皮,紧张地比了缺氧的手势后,皮皮还来不及做出任何反应时,一丁一手夺过了皮皮的呼吸器。一丁的异常把皮皮给吓坏了。一阵手忙脚乱,皮皮只好自己使用备用呼吸器。在和一丁做出一连串的手势后,突然一丁往上游。皮皮尽量拉着一丁维持适当的上潜速度,氧气管一回儿打折,一会儿因为上升速度不一致,整个呼吸器被扯出口。这样一番折腾,皮皮喝了不晓得多少口海水。
While PiPi was busy checking out things around, Teddy moved towards PiPi all of sudden. Teddy nervously showed the 'out of air' hand signal. Without waiting for PiPi to react, he grapped PiPi's regulator. Teddy's abnormal action scared PiPi so much. Panic, panic. PiPi had no choice but to use her alternate airsource. PiPi also gave Teddy a few signals. Teddy ignored PiPi and swam upwards. PiPi held on Teddy to maintain a reasonable ascending speed. The air tube became folded. Due to inconsistent ascending speeds, the mouth piece was pulled off. PiPi was forced to drink a few mouthful of sea water.


好不容易升至水面,一丁突然像泄了气的大轮胎。沉甸甸地预浮预沉。由于一丁的氧气已经用尽,皮皮被迫替一丁的潜水外套人口充气。当气充得差不多时一丁已背朝天地半浮在水界面。皮皮轻轻地地将一丁翻转过来,把一丁的潜水眼镜拿开后,一丁看起来听起来感觉起来:没有呼吸了!心里打了个寒颤,脑袋像是被人灌满了酒,乱昏。看着一丁逐渐苍白的面容,皮皮害怕地高喊救命。看到码头上的人,皮皮看到了希望。于是一边为一丁做人工呼吸,一边把一丁拉向岸上。汹涌的浪很不合作地阻止我们游向岸,紧紧咬着牙关,划动双手,踢动双脚,感觉双脚快抽筋了。也不晓得已经上气不接下气的人工呼吸有没有效用,皮皮心里一直求神保佑。
It was hard to reach the water surface. Teddy was like a punctured tyre without its air. Half-floating and half-sinking on the water surface. Since Teddy's tank was empty-of-air, PiPi had to orally inflate his BCD. When the BCD had enough air to hold Teddy up steadily on the surface, he was overturned with his face in the water. PiPi simply flipped him over, and took off his mask. By looking, listening and feeling: Teddy was not breathing!! Immediately PiPi felt a chill in her head, as if the head was intoxicated with alcohol, almost drunk. Staring at Teddy's pale face, PiPi was terrified and called for help. When PiPi saw peoples on the jetty, PiPi saw hopes. So, PiPi tried to pull Teddy to the shore while swimming. The annoying waves were not cooperative and prevented us from getting near to the shore. PiPi bite her teeth, moved the hands, kicked the fins and felt cramps in the legs. PiPi was praying eagerly in her heart.


来到浅岸,皮皮双手穿过一丁的膈肌窝,这块大轮胎重得快扯不动了。皮皮泄气地哭了起来。或许这么一哭,无名的忿力挤了出来,皮皮将不省人事的一丁拖了上岸。眼见一丁毫无反应,皮皮只好掌压一丁。不晓得位置对不对,不晓得力道够不够,皮皮疯婆似地呐喊‘胖子!起来啊!!!!!’或是人工呼吸奏效?或是音波功威震?一丁吐出满肚子的海水,微微地展开了眼睛。。。。。疯狂地爆笑起来。。。。。。
With an arm under Teddy's armpits, PiPi dragged the heavy "tyre" to the shore. PiPi started to cry. Cries boosted PiPi's strength and finally Teddy was dragged onto the dry land. By this time, there was no living sign from Teddy. PiPi pressed on his tummy. No sure if the position was correct; No sure if the strength was sufficient. PiPi screamed like a mad woman "FATTY!!! WAKE UP!!!" Perhaps, the pressing worked? Perhaps the screaming worked? Teddy vomitted the water and weakly opened his eyes....and bursted into crazy laughters... LOLOLOLOLOLOLO

爆笑?是的,皆因以上剧情纯粹拯救潜水员的考试所需。是的,皮皮正式成为拯救潜水员!
Joking? Yea, yea, the above was meant for rescue diver exam. Yea again, PiPi is now a qualified rescue diver!

瀑布果冻 Waterfall Pudding

地点/Location: Chiling Fall (21 kilometers from Kuala Kubu Bharu)

太阳公公起床咯。打开了窗口的帘幕,太阳公公对着窗外露出了灿烂的笑容,今天他起得早,心情好。
Grandda Sun had woke up. After opening the window curtain, he looked out and showed his glorious smile. Today, he was early and in a good mood.


瀑布的入口处位于徊迂的路旁,立着一个木色告示牌,清楚地写着Santuari Sungai Chiling。车子就停放入口处附近的一个垃圾箱旁。垃圾箱叮咛着进入瀑布的旅客必须完整地离开--即所有带进去的食物,即使变成垃圾依旧要带离瀑布。
At the waterfall entrance, there was, right beside the road, a wooden signboard, clearly stated "Santuari Sungai Chiling". Cars were parked next to a rubbish bin near the entrance. The rubbish bin reminded visitors that they must return as a whole, i.e. all food that were brought in, even though they became rubbish, must be brought away from the waterfall.

防晒油--喷雾式的涂抹在手脚上,脸部有另一枝专用涂膏;驱蚊油--唇膏式转动涂膏抹在手脚上。小爱积极地往身上每个部位一一涂抹。食物--葡萄,即食面,三明治,薯片,巧克力;饮料--矿泉水,橙汁,咖啡,小天谨慎地往背包一一点算。隐约听着瀑布的交响乐,皮皮提着轻快的脚步,一奔一跳地出发咯。
Sunblock oilment was sprayed on limbs, and was rubbed on faces; Mosquito repellent from lipsticks also was rubbed on limbs. Little Wei earnestly applied them everywhere on her body. As for food like grapes, instant noodles, sandwishes, potato chips, chocolates; drinks, mineral water, orange juice, coffee, Roger carefully placed them into the backpack. Hearing the faint waterfall music, PiPi proceeded with light steps in leaps and bounces.


小径两旁的树调皮地伸出一枝一枝树柄,挑逗着难得一见的旅客。皮皮礼貌地推开树柄,塑胶软鞋踩着泥泞路,发出吱吱声相当刺耳。当两旁的树越来越高挑时,瀑布声越来越响亮时,抵达的却只是一条小溪。这时,皮皮才知道必须横跨6条小溪,才会抵达瀑布。
Trees on both sides of the lane tickled visitors with their extended branches. Politely, PiPi pushed aside those branches. Plastic shoes on muddy lane produced some annoying sounds. As the trees became taller, and when the waterfall sound became louder, we reached a little stream. By this time, PiPi realised that six streams have to be crossed before reaching the waterfall.






由于昨晚下了一场雨,小溪最深处淹过腰部。开心的太阳公公温柔地向皮皮微笑着。即使太阳公公的笑容多么的热情,小溪的水还是像冰冻的果冻。水流忽急忽缓地,皮皮脚上的塑胶软鞋在滑溜溜的石头上走动显得非常勉强。皮皮弯低着身躯顶着背包,乌龟般地平衡着身体,战战兢兢地过小溪。衣裤湿透透自然在所难免,至少背包受到了龟壳式保护,里头的手机相机都乐得干爽。当过了第一条小溪,大家都湿透了。心里真希望能够快点抵达瀑布,湿个痛快。于是,接下来的五条小溪,大家轻松地湿着身体渡过了。
Because of a rainfall yesterday night, the deepest place in the stream had grown to a depth up to our waists. Although Grandda Sun was still smiling passionately, the water stream had turned cold like chilled pudding. Water flew with varying speeds. The rubber shoes that PiPi wore made walking on the slippery stones very difficult. Carrying a backpack on the back, PiPi tried to balance herself by bending down like a turtle, and crossed the stream gingerly. It was unavoidable that our cloths got wet. At least, her backpack was protected like the shell on the turtle. The camera and handphone inside were happily dry and safe. After crossing the first stream, we were soaked through. We were all eager to reach the waterfall soonest, so that we could clean ourselves comfortably. For the remaining five streams, we crossed with wet clothing.

看到瀑布时,皮皮第一时间扔下背包,往瀑布的怀里投奔去。瀑布的水很冰,当皮皮只剩下头露在水上时,活像一个花生果冻。
Upon seeing the waterfall, PiPi dropped the backpack in the first instance, and rushed into the embrace of the waterfall. The water was icy-cold. With only her head above the water, PiPi really looked like a Peanut Pudding.


当冰得冷颤打个不停时,皮皮就在水浅处的大石块懒洋洋地打起呼噜来。太阳公公乐得笑咧嘴,皮皮舒服地享受普照,聆听着瀑布的响亮乐曲。
Shivering in the cold, PiPi laid down on the big boulder stone at the swallow place and slumbered. Grandda Sun was laughing at her. PiPi enjoyed the comfort of sunshine while listening to the waterfall music.

蛋挞

蛋挞是我其中一个最爱~
但是我其实是不太会弄甜品的。。。上次吃过yee tong弄的蛋挞,这次他为了庆祝考试过关再弄一次给我吃Yeah~
以下是找来的recipe:
http://sakura-lovebaking.blogspot.com/search/label/Egg%20Tart

基本上就是准备皮和馅(听起来好像弄水饺酱:P)

皮:
皮,不是花生熊皮皮,而是装馅的皮,又或者可以叫它饼。其实跟黄梨饼的饼也是差不过,应该是同样的做法,下次做做看:p。

材料有什么呢?准确的分量你就要看上面提供的网站了,看起来大概是:
(这里要用低筋面粉:高低筋就是在于弹性上的差别。低筋面粉没有弹性甚至有点脆,适合做饼干之类的;高筋面粉很有弹性,适合弄面条之类的。)- 两个量米用的杯
牛油 - 很多咯!~差不多1/3到1/2盒。牛油记得要加热弄融,放微波炉还是什么。或者你用液状Magerine应该也是可以,而且比较健康。但是不要买固体状的Margarine哦~因为他们经过不天然的加氢,最后还是变成饱和脂肪。。。(讲课讲课)
- 半粒(不用讲,我知道你在想什么,很白痴加浪费对吧?我也是这么觉得:P)
- 两汤匙左右吧~
- 用手指捏一两小巴,看清楚啊~是手指,不是手掌!:P
白醋 - 一茶匙(我不知道为什么要,放一放咯)
- 两茶匙(我觉得有点少,4汤匙都可以)


就这样,揉啊揉,揉揉揉; row啊row,row啊row, row row row your boat。。。喂!回来~
然后这个样子,不知道对不对,好像不太对,但是还是可以吃。:P


然后就把它铺在模上面,像这样子。然后拿去烘20分钟。通常模是用铁做的,这个是silicon。看起来像plastic,你就很担心,会不会中毒啊?Silicon其实是(Si)硅,原子量14,元素周期表在碳(C)的下面,铝(Al)和磷(P)的中间......zzzZZZ

馅:
也就是中间甜甜的那个部分啦~在等我们的饼皮烘好和林博士讲课的时候,我们来准备中间的馅。

材料就是这些,但是请不要看下面的那些鸡,那些是做糯米鸡的鸡,不是拿来生蛋的鸡,不需要用到。
牛奶 - 一杯 (不要给人喝掉哦~)
- 很多下,也是一杯。
- waiter,给我再来一杯!~(好像在酒吧喝酒酱:P)
- 我记得是一粒蛋再加一粒蛋黄。那蛋白呢?又要浪费了,拿来辅脸吧你要的话。还有之前的半粒蛋倒在这里应该没有问题的。什么?你倒掉了?还是吃掉了?那就算了吧:P。。。
Vanilla(香草)香精 - 一茶匙,或四五滴就好。我在想如果用pandan香精应该也不错一下,我超喜欢pandan味:P


搅在一起就变这样。在把它倒进烘好的饼皮里,再烘20分钟。


登登登登,好了~趁热吃哦~

ps.很久没有写blog了,谢谢各位支持者,特别是我姐姐的朋友-Grace。听说你要结婚了哦?恭喜恭喜,这篇算是给你的结婚礼物吧~(好便宜的礼物:P)。。。希望你能用美食把幸福带给你家人。。。(哇!这句想了很久啊~不是讲笑。。:P)

圣祺士 Tomb Rider



Location: Tanjung Malim, Perak

颗颗豆大的泥浆溅在皮皮的脸上。满头淋漓的汗水瞬间就模糊了泥泞。皮皮握紧扶手,不停地踩动泥浆裹着的踏板,来不及抹拭汗水和泥泞。脚踏车在泥泞山坡路上颠颇,划过一条一条的轮胎印。
Muddy droplets splashed all over PiPi's face. Sweat immediately mixed up with these muds. No time to wipe them off, PiPi held on to the handle tightly, and pedalled furiously. The bicycle went up and down, leaving behind a track on the bumpy road.



进入橡胶林时,扑鼻的橡胶味,夹杂着牛屎味。橡胶林里的路凹凸不平,忽坑忽陷,皮皮不管三七二十一地见坑就越,见屎就闪。一颠一坡下屁股几乎麻痹了。双手开始不能扶直前轮,脚踏车弯弯曲曲般地前进。泥泞路湿漉漉的泥团让轮胎老是打滑。突然轮胎陷入泥坑,皮皮只好伸出脚去支撑。结果,整只鞋子都陷入烂泥里了。顾不得感觉多么的粘塌塌,皮皮猛地将脚踏车推前,继续向前踩。
Entering the rubber plantation, PiPi sensed the pungent smell of rubber latex and cow dungs. The road was even more bumpy, with potholes here and there. PiPi rode on through these potholes, trying hard to avoid the cow dungs. Her buttock was almost numb with these impacts. Both her hands weakened and could not hold the handle straight. The bicycle started to go zic-zac. The tyres skidded on the slippery roads every now and then. Suddenly, the tyre sunk into a pothole. PiPi tried to stabilise with her foot. Her entire shoe was covered with mud. Ignoring the sticky feeling, PiPi pushed the bicycle forward and carried on.



过了橡胶林,体力上的折磨才正要开始。路依旧凹凸不平,但是越进入深林处,路就越陡峻。皮皮将脚踏车的牙数换至最轻,使劲地踩动着经已使不出力的双腿,硬撑过了几个斜坡。皮皮喘着上气接不了下气,只好下车推车了。脚踏车在用推时,显得特别重。可是要踩的话,皮皮的腿更重。于是推着脚踏车,越过了几个看不到对头的斜坡。皮皮挣扎地到达小溪旁---我们的歇息站。
After the rubber plantation was crossed, the stamina ordeal began. The road continued to be undulating. Further into the forest, the road got steeper. PiPi changed to the lightest gear, and tried to pedal with the two weak legs. After a few steep slopes, PiPi was breathless and exhausted. PiPi gave up cycling and started to push the bicycle. Now, the bicycle was even heavier to push, and PiPi's legs became heavier to move. While pushing the bicycle over more slopes, PiPi struggled to reach the riverside --- the designated rest point.



皮皮喝了满满一口又一口的溪水,溪水香甜地滋润着干涩的喉咙,沁凉心扉。小溪两旁的树高耸入云,皮皮坐在小溪里的树荫下,凉爽的溪水将全身的疲劳一洗而空。
PiPi drank mouthful of river water. It was sweet and chilled, soothing her dry throat. On both sides of the river, there were tall trees. PiPi sat under the shade of these trees. The cold river water washed away her tiredness.





精神稍微恢复后就继续上路回程。要越过小溪,皮皮将脚踏车扛在肩上。小溪的水流看似不急,但是脚踏车被对冲下显得很沉重。水里的石头滑得鞋子吃不了力。扛着脚踏车让体重增加不少,水流显得将我们冲不倒有点不耐烦。扛着脚踏车让体力消耗不少,皮皮好不容易过了小溪。
After the short rest, it was time to go back. In order to cross the river, PiPi carried the bicycle on her shoulders. The river did not appear to be fast flowing, the bicycle was a heavy load nevertheless. The riverbed stones were slippery for her shoes to thread on. The bicycle on her shoulders increased the total weight that PiPi needed to succumb. Quickly, PiPi's energy was consumed. It was a real struggle fo PiPi to cross the river.

之前的上坡路,都成了小坡路。皮皮兴奋地让脚踏车径直向下冲。却忘了路上的坑坑洞洞。当看到一个超大的坑洞过不了,却已经闪避不及。皮皮紧急地按上后轮的刹车。后轮竟然在这下突然刹车而腾空。皮皮来不及做出任何反应时,已经和脚踏车一起被腾空抛开。头盔狠狠地着地,接着右肩膀带着全身也重重地跌撞在斜坡上。疼痛侵袭全身,泥浆溅到满身。没有无谓的呻吟,没有多余的牢骚,皮皮站了起来。全身增加了无数的泥桨,多处的伤痕。顾不上肮脏或疼痛,皮皮得赶紧追上已经绝尘而去的车友们。
Previously it was uphill. Now it was downhill all the way. PiPi excitedly allowed the bicycle to charge down freely, ignoring the potholes. By the time PiPi realized there was a huge hole, it was too late. PiPi quickly braked. The back wheel tilted and PiPi was thrown to the ground. Her helmet landed first, then her right shoulder, followed by the rest of her body. Mud splashed everywhere. No time to bitch and moan, PiPi stood up, feeling pain all over the body. PiPi did not think about the dirt or pain. Pipi had to catch up with the rest of the team.

接着下来都是精神上的考验。下坡路不敢冲得太放肆,刹车键按到极点时轮胎更加容易在下坡时打滑。除了疲惫的身躯,双脚越来越不听使唤,快踩不动了,心里更加着急。肩膀的酸痛,手臂的磨损,都在催促皮皮踩快一点,心里更加慌。哪怕速度有多慢,皮皮都不敢停下来。皮皮可不想被遗留在深林处。。。。。。
Next was a test of endurance. This time, PiPi was very careful, not to simply charge down the slopes. Applying the brake too hard would cause the tyre to slid. Not only the body was exhausted, the feet were out of control and too weak to pedal. The stiffness in the shoulders and the pain in the arms urged PiPi to ride on. PiPi was worried and anxious. Maybe slow, PiPi dared not stop. PiPi did not want to be left behind, alone in a forest ... ...

皮皮打着呼噜,抱着柔软的抱枕,睡得很甜。。。。。。
Now snoring and hugging the soft pillow, PiPi was sound asleep in comfort ... ...

简单爱 Simply Lovable


季候风下岗了。叮之岛的沙滩依旧白皑皑,海水依然清澈澈。天空落着毛毛细雨,淅淅沥沥抒发忧郁的心情。海浪轻轻抚摸岸滩,拂拂络络哼述轻松的歌调。我 ----- 聆听大自然的弦外之音。
Monsoon wind had finally stopped. Sandy beach in Tinggi Island remained whitish; sea water remained clear. Tiny threads of rain fell from the sky, relieving the onlooker's depressed sentiment. Sea waves stroke the beach, in a light and relaxing tune. Pipi --- listened to this sound of nature.

原来潜水可以这么样。。。 oh, diving could be done this way ...
沉船,沉浸在深海。汹涌的浪潮似乎在为沉船顶着“请勿打扰”的告示牌,打发不请自来的干扰者。当我们从船上跃入海水后,必须尽快游向预设好的浮标。浮标被浪吹得东飘西荡。紧紧盯着的浮标,担忧浮标就在眨眼瞬间消失在视线范围。心理准备了最坏的打算--我们极有可能被冲离浮标,甚至到无边无际的海域。
Ship wreck was hidden deep under the sea. Gushing waves chased intruders away, as if placing "do not disturb" sign for the ship wreck. After we had dived into the water, we swam quickly towards a pre-determined bouy. The bouy was swaying with sea waves. We kept our eyes fixed on it, being afraid that it might vanish in a blink of our eyes. Psychologically prepared for the worst -- that we might be carried away from the bouy into the endless sea.



好不容易握上了浮标系着的麻绳,我松了口气。巴蒂们都紧握着麻绳,深深感受到浪狠狠地想将我们冲散。沉船的逐客令如此地不留情,却没有将不速之客吓退。眼前手握着的麻绳是我们唯一的领航。在互比手势后,我们慢慢下潜。下潜时看不到麻绳的尽头,也几乎看不到其他潜水员。盯着潜水表上显示的深度缓缓加深。麻绳的另一端,静谧的沉船正在沉睡着,没有察觉我们已经开始窥视她的神秘幕纱。
Touching the rope on the buoy after much struggles, I let out a breath of relief. All buddies grasped tightly the rope, realizing that strong currents could separate us. The "get-lost" wish of the ship wreck continued mercilessly, trying to send these intruders away. Holding on to the rope is all that we could do now. After giving descending signal to one other, we slowly descended. Upon descent, we could not see the end of the rope, and other dive buddies. The dive meter indicated the depth of the dive was increasing gradually. At the other end of the rope, a ship wreck was asleep, not knowing its mysterious veil was about to be unfolded.



应该是艘渔船吧。相当完整地沉淀。稳重地睡落在海床上。曾经沧海的船哪,已经被珊瑚吞噬占为己有。当下,沉船依旧壮观,反成了海底生物的乐园。丰富的珊瑚们为斑驳的船身披上了外衣,担心沉船在如此寒凉的深海处会颤抖。大大小小的鱼儿们为沉船作伴,牵挂沉船在如此孤单的每一天会寂寞。珊瑚和鱼儿时而环绕着沉船歌唱。在悦耳的摇篮曲下沉船悠悠而眠。沉船睡得很香很甜,梦见自己顶着风浪,在海上闯荡,享受阳光的普照。。。。
It could be a fishing boat. Pretty much in one piece, the ship wreck steadily parked itself on the seabed. The ship wreck was consumed by corals. Right now, the sunken boat was spectacular, and had become a happy playground for underwater creatures. Colorful coral dressed the ship wreck with a pull over, as if she might catch a cold from the chilly sea. Fishes, of different sizes, accompanied the ship wreck, so that the single boat would not be lonely each day. Coral and fishes sang around the ship wreck. And the sunken boat slept under this lullaby. Sunken boat was asleep soundly and sweetly, dreaming that she is sailing on the sea, bracing wind and waves, and enjoying the warm sunlight.....
