One wet, windy weekend I was returning to Alaska, on a ferry, filled with visitors. I overheard a tourist ask a young boy,"Doesn't it ever stop raining around here?"

一个风雨交加的周末，我乘渡船回阿拉斯加州，船上挤满了游客。我听到一名游客问一个小男孩：“这里的雨从来没停过吗？”

"I don't know," came the reply, "I'm only seven years old."

“我不知道，”男孩回答说，“我才7岁。”
