六、阅读与回答问题
The Fisherman arrives at the seashore. He unties(解开) his
hands and he opens his mouth. He calls to the little Mermaid. But
she does not come.
The Soul laughs at him and tells him to come away.
But the Fisherman does not answer his Soul. He builds a house
in the side of a rock. He lives there for a year. Every morning, every
afternoon and every evening he calls to the Mermaid. But she does
not rise from the sea. He looks for her. He looks in the sea, in the
caves and in the pools. But he cannot see her.
The Fisherman's Soul tells the Fisherman to come away every
day. But the Fisherman ignores(不理睬) him. His love is strong and
he ignores his evil Soul.
One year passes. The Soul thinks, "I say lots of things to my
master but he does not listen. His love is strong and he does not
follow my words."
"You don't listen when I tell you about all the beautiful things
in the world," says the Soul to the Fisherman. "Now listen when I
tell you about the world's pain(痛苦). There is suffering(苦难)
everywhere in the world. There are hungry people. There are poor
people. There are sick people. Come and follow me. Let us help
these people. Come with me to help them. Don't stay here. Your
Mermaid does not answer you. Come with me and help them."
But the Fisherman doesn't answer. His love is strong. Every
morning, every afternoon and every evening he calls to the Mermaid.
But she does not rise from the sea. He looks for her. He looks in the
sea, in the rivers and in the valleys. But he cannot see her.
