拙译《木偶奇遇记》230412
And what a horrible night it was! It poured rain, it hailed, it thundered, and the lightning was so bright that it turned the night into day. At dawn, he saw, not far away from him, a long stretch of sand. It was an island in the middle of the sea. Pinocchio tried his best to get there, but he couldn't. The waves played with him and tossed him about as if he were a twig or a bit of straw. 那真是可怕的一个夜晚!又是瓢泼大雨,又是下冰雹,又是打雷,那闪电亮得把黑夜都变成了白昼。清晨时分,他看到离自己不远处有一片长长的沙洲,那是海中央的一个岛屿。匹诺曹拼尽全力想去到那里,但他没能做到。海浪随意摆弄他,将他抛过来扔过去,好像他是一小截树枝或者一点稻草。
