We heard them come along towards the crick , but couldn t see them ; they seemed to stop and fool around a while ; then , as we got further and further away all the time , we couldn t hardly hear them at all ; by the time we had left a mile of woods behind us and struck the river , everything was quiet , and we paddled over to the towhead and hid in the cottonwoods and was safe 在這個時間里，我們愈走愈遠，后來就根本聽不見他們的聲音了。等到我們離林子一英里多路，駛進了大河，一切平靜了下來。我們劃到了沙洲那邊，躲到了白楊樹叢里，就平安無事了。
It was a monstrous big river down there - sometimes a mile and a half wide ; we run nights , and laid up and hid daytimes ; soon as night was most gone we stopped navigating and tied up - nearly always in the dead water under a towhead ; and then cut young cottonwoods and willows , and hid the raft with them 一到下游那邊，只見一條大得嚇人的大河有的地方河面有一英里半開闊。我們在夜晚行駛白天，便躲起來。夜快盡了，我們便停止航行，把筏子靠岸總是靠在一處沙洲水流平靜的地段，然后砍下白楊和柳樹的嫩枝，把木筏子給遮蓋起來。
Jim said he bet she did think of it by the time the men was ready to start , and he believed they must a gone up - town to get a dog and so they lost all that time , or else we wouldn t be here on a towhead sixteen or seventeen mile below the village - no , indeedy , we would be in that same old town again 杰姆說，依他看，那幾個男人準備動身的時候，她準定會想到找條狗。他相信，這些人準定是到鎮上去找一條狗，這樣，他們就把時間全耽誤了，不然的話，我們此刻就不會來到下游離村子十六七英里的沙洲上了，不，肯定不會。我們只會又回到我們老家那個鎮上了。

When the first streak of day began to show we tied up to a towhead in a big bend on the illinois side , and hacked off cottonwood branches with the hatchet , and covered up the raft with them so she looked like there had been a cave - in in the bank there 天蒙蒙亮了，我們就在靠伊利諾斯州這邊一個大灣的旁邊，找了個沙洲靠了岸，用斧子砍了一些楊樹枝，把木筏子遮了起來。這樣，這里看上去仿佛河岸在這里坍了一塊似的。
That was all right as far as it went , but the towhead warn t sixty yards long , and the minute i flew by the foot of it i shot out into the solid white fog , and hadn t no more idea which way i was going than a dead man 情況還算順利，不過，沙洲還不到六十碼長，我剛竄過沙洲的末尾，眼看就一頭沖進了白茫茫一片濃濃的大霧之中了。我象個死人一般，連自己正在往哪一個方向漂行也一點兒辨不清了。
Thinks i , it won t do to paddle ; first i know i ll run into the bank or a towhead or something ; i got to set still and float , and yet it s mighty fidgety business to have to hold your hands still at such a time 首先，我知道會撞在岸上沙洲上或是別的什么東西上面。我必須得坐著不動，隨著它漂。可是啊，在這么一個關頭，偏偏要人家空有雙手不動彈，叫人如何安得下心。
The minute i was far enough above the town to see i could make the towhead , i begun to look sharp for a boat to borrow , and the first time the lightning showed me one that wasn t chained i snatched it and shoved 我走到了離鎮子相當遠的地方，能看清到沙洲的路了，我就仔細尋找，看能不能借到一只小船。電光一閃，我就見到有一只沒有栓住的小船。
Next day , towards night , we laid up under a little willow towhead out in the middle , where there was a village on each side of the river , and the duke and the king begun to lay out a plan for working them towns 第二天傍晚時分，我們在河心一個長滿柳樹的小沙洲停靠著。大河兩岸各有一個村落。公爵和國王開始設計一個方案，好到鎮上去施展一番。
They done it , and soon as they was aboard i lit out for our towhead , and in about five or ten minutes we heard the dogs and the men away off , shouting 他們就照我的話做了。他們一上筏子，我就開往一處沙洲。三五分鐘后，我們聽到遠處狗啊，人啊，吵做一團。
He said the first towhead stood for a man that would try to do us some good , but the current was another man that would get us away from him 他說，那第一個沙洲指的是存心對我們做好事的人，可是，那流水指的是另一個人，此人存心要叫我們遇不到那個好人。
