At last he reached Christine．She was floating with her face down，unconscious．He tried to turn her over，but it was so difficult．She was heavy，and her arms fell back in the water when he dropped them．He got her face out of the water but her head fell backwards，lifeless，and she was not breathing．He caught hold of her face then，put his mouth over hers，and blew into it．He rested，and then blew into her mouth again，and again．Nothing happened．
终于他追上了克里斯汀。她脸朝下漂浮着，已失去知觉。他设法把她翻过身来，但很困难。她很沉，而且当他一松手她的两臂又落入水中。他把她的脸托出水面，但她的头向后垂，没有生命，没有呼吸。他托住她的脸，把他的嘴贴在她嘴上，往里吹气。他歇一下，又往她嘴里吹，一次又一次，没有变化。
He looked around him．They were in the middle of the river，moving quickly downstream．Here，it was about twenty-five metres to the bank，but about two hundred metres downstream a second river came in from the left．The bank was further away there，and the water moved faster．Simon was tired，and afraid．It had rained last night，and there was a lot of water moving downstream to the sea．The strong wind blew little waves into his face．
他环视一下四围。他们在河中心，正迅速冲向下游。这里离岸边约二十五米，但大约两百米的下游从左边又有另一条河汇入。那儿的岸边更远，水流更急。西蒙又累又怕。昨夜下过雨，有大量雨水流向下游进入大海。强风在他脸上溅起小浪花。
He began to swim on his back，pulling Christine towards the trees on the bank．He swam for half a minute，then stopped，and blew four times into her mouth．Once，he thought he saw her breathe，but he couldn't be sure．Her face was very white，and he had no idea if her heart was beating．The river was taking them quickly to the sea．
他开始仰游，拖着克里斯汀向岸边的树游去。他游半分钟，停一下，向她嘴里吹4次气。有一次，他以为他看见她呼吸了，但他不敢肯定。她的脸色苍白，他不知道她的心脏是否还跳动，河水带着他们迅速流向大海。
