今天阳光明媚,万里无云,正是适合赶海的好天气。趁着“五一”假期,外公带着我避开人流,来到郭巨码头的滩涂赶海。
Today is sunny and cloudless, making it a perfect day for going to sea. During the May Day holiday, my grandfather took me to the mudflat of Guoju Wharf to catch the sea, avoiding the flow of people.
望着眼前的滩涂,我迫不及待地脱掉鞋袜,挽起裤腿,深一脚浅一脚地踩进滩涂里。滩涂里有许多大大小小的螃蟹洞,原本在悠闲地晒太阳的螃蟹似乎被我惊吓到了,惊慌失措地四处逃窜,一下子就都钻回了洞里。
Looking at the mudflat in front of me, I can't wait to take off my shoes and socks, pull up my trouser legs, and step deeply into the mudflat. There are many large and small crab holes in the mudflat. The crabs who were relaxing in the sun seemed to be frightened by me. They ran around in panic and all of a sudden got back into the holes.
越往里走,我的脚就陷得越深,我赶紧抓住外公的胳膊,一起向滩涂中央走去。这时,外公发现了一个洞,他把脚深深地插进螃蟹洞底部,这样就可以挡住螃蟹的去路,轻而易举地抓住它。我依样画葫芦,不一会儿,就抓到了好几只红旗蟹。
The deeper I went, the deeper my feet sank. I quickly grabbed my grandfather's arm and walked to the center of the mudflat together. At this moment, Grandpa discovered a hole and deeply inserted his foot into the bottom of the crab hole, which could block the crab's path and easily catch it. I followed suit and soon caught several red flag crabs.
我们手挽手继续往前走,沿途我发现有几个鸟儿的脚印,应该是它们捕食的时候留下的吧!突然,我看到一个洞正在往外冒水,就把手伸向洞里,顿时感到一阵刺痛,我忍住痛一鼓作气把一个东西拽了出来,居然是一只活蹦乱跳的皮皮虾!我高兴得一蹦三尺高,把疼痛都抛到了脑后。虽然皮皮虾拼命挣扎,想从我手上逃脱,但还是没有得逞。
We held hands and continued walking forward. Along the way, I noticed several bird footprints, probably left by them when they were hunting! Suddenly, I saw a hole emitting water and reached into it, feeling a sharp pain. I held back the pain and pulled something out with all my might. It was actually a lively and jumping shrimp! I jumped three feet high with joy, leaving the pain behind. Although Pipi Shrimp struggled desperately to escape from my hands, it still failed.
不知不觉两个小时过去了,桶里已装满了各种各样的海洋生物,有活蹦乱跳的弹涂鱼,有挥舞着钳子的红旗蟹,还有穿着“盔甲”的皮皮虾……而我和外公也成了“泥人”,今天可真是收获满满啊!
Unconsciously, two hours have passed, and the bucket is filled with various marine creatures, including lively and jumping mudskippers, red flag crabs waving pliers, and skin shrimp wearing "armor"... And my grandfather and I have also become "mud figurines". Today is really full of harvest!
