扔海星的人 The starfish thrower(2)

有一天，他正沿着岸边走。当顺着海边向远处看时，他看到一个人，那人的动作看起来像是位舞蹈演员在跳舞。
He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
他很高兴，以为今天正好能看到有人跳舞。于是，他加快步伐追上那个人。
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all.
当靠近之后，他才看清这是一个年轻人，并不是在跳舞。
The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

而是弯下腰来，从海滩上捡着什么，然后扔到海里。
He came closer still and called out Good morning!
他走近了大声说：早上好！
May I ask what it is that you are doing?
你在做什么？
The young man paused, looked up, and replied, Throwing starfish into the ocean.
这个年轻人停了下来，抬起头回答道：把海星扔进海里。
I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean asked the somewhat startled wise man.
我想我问的是，为什么你要把海星扔进海里？智者有些吃惊，问道。
