There was a treasure mountain on the sea, where there were many,many rare treasures shining with brilliant light and dazzling the eyes.

海上，有一座寶山。寶山上，有許許多多奇珍異寶，光芒四射，非常耀眼。

A seaman got a pearl of 1 can (1/30 metre) in diameter, which glistened brightly. He took a ship to take it home.

一個海員得到一顆直徑一寸的明珠，金燦燦的，便乘船把它運回家。

But before the ship had sailed for 100 li,all of a sudden black clouds rolled all over the sky,and a strong wind blew to unleash huge waves.

可是，航行不到百里，突然間，滿天烏云滾滾，刮起了大風(fēng)，掀起了巨浪，

The ship was tossed about violently. A flood dragon was seen emerging from the stormy sea and looking very terrifying.

船身顛簸得很厲害。人們只見一條蛟龍，在驚濤駭浪中出沒，樣子非常可怕。

The crew advised the seaman:

船工勸告海員說:

“It seems that the flood dragon wants to have your pearl.

“看樣子，這條蛟龍想要得到您的這顆明珠啊!

Please throw it into the sea at once; otherwise you will get us into trouble.”

請您趕快把它拋到海里去吧，否則就會連累了我們?！?/p>

At the moment,the seaman was in a dilemma. He couldn’t bear to part with the pearl；on the other hand, he was afraid of the imminent disaster.

這時候，海員左右為難:丟掉吧，實在舍不得；不丟吧，又怕大難臨頭，急得滿頭大汗。

His head was covered with perspiration from anxiety.After a while, with his teeth clenched to endure the pain,he gouged out a piece of flesh from his thigh to conceal the pearl there. The storm on the sea subsided at once.

過了一會兒，他咬緊牙關(guān)，忍著痛，宛開大腿上的一塊肉，把明珠藏了進去。海上的風(fēng)浪立即小了。

As soon as the seaman got home, he took out the dazzling pearl immediately. But not long afterwards he died of the festering wound in his thigh.

這個海員回到家里后，連忙取出了耀眼的明珠。但是不久，他因大腿的傷口潰爛而死了。
