Chapter 5 Vancouver Island
第五章 温哥华岛
Tsawwassen was about twenty-three miles south of Vancouver. Nick drove there in his car the next morning for the one o'clock ferry to Vancouver Island. Every five minutes, he looked behind him. The road was busy - black cars, white cars, red cars, green cars. Maybe Vickers was in one of them.
吐瓦森在温哥华以南大约23英里处。尼克第二天上午开车赶往那里，为的是赶下午1点的渡轮去温哥华岛。他每隔5分钟就往后看看。公路上很繁忙——黑色的车，白色的车，红色的，还有绿色的。或许维克斯就在其中的一辆车里。
At Tsawwassen Nick drove his car on to the ferry. There were a lot of cars and crowds of people. Nick got out of his car and walked up and down the ship. He looked for a man with white hair but he didn't see one.
尼克把车开上了吐瓦森的渡轮。那里停了很多车，人群也熙熙攘攘的。尼克从车里出来，在船上四处转了转。他想看看有没有留着白头发的人，可是没有看到。
Soon the ferry began to move and Nick felt better. He found the ferry restaurant and got something to eat. More people came in. Nick looked at the faces of all the older men. Some had hats on, so he looked for somebody tall and thin, but there was nobody.
渡轮很快就开动了，尼克也感觉好点儿了。他找到了渡轮上的餐厅，要了些东西吃。随后，更多的人来到了餐厅。尼克打量着每一个上岁数的人的脸。有人还戴着帽子，于是他就找又高又瘦的人，但还是什么也没发现。
'Maybe he's not on the ferry,' Nick thought. 'Maybe he's back in Vancouver.'
“也许他没在这艘渡轮上，”尼克想，“也许他回温哥华去了。”
Later, Nick walked around the ship again. Once, he thought he saw the man with white hair in the crowds, but he could not be sure.
过了一会儿，尼克又在船上走了一圈。他一度觉得好像在人群中看到了那个白发男子，可他也说不准。
Ninety minutes after leaving Tsawwassen, the ferry arrived at Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island, and Nick went back down to his car.
渡轮离开吐瓦森90分钟后就到达了温哥华岛的斯瓦茨湾，尼克回到了他的车上。
Swartz Bay was twenty miles north of Victoria. Nick drove quickly, and again, looked behind him every four or five minutes. Once, he saw a red car about two hundred yards behind him.
斯瓦茨湾位于维多利亚北面20英里处。尼克把车开得飞快，仍旧每隔四五分钟就回头看看。有一次，他看到在他后面大约200码远的地方有一辆红色的车。
