On August 3, 1492, three ships //www.58yuanyou.comsailed from Spain. The swww.58yuanyou.comhips sailed for a long, long time. Once they saw a lot of seaweed and were afraid they'd get tangled in it. Another time a monstrous9storm damaged the ships. On and on they sailed, never finding land. The sailors began to complain.
1492年8月3日，三艘船从西班牙出发。船只航行了很久、很久的时间。有一次,船上的人看到大量的海草，深怕船只会被缠住。又有一次，巨大的强烈暴风吹坏了船只。他们持续航行，但是不见陆地踪影。水手们开始发牢骚。
Columbus said. "If we don’t find land soon, we'll turn back.”
哥伦布说:「要是再找不到陆地，我们就折返。」
The men grumbled10, but agreed.
水手们抱怨归抱怨,但是都同意了。
A few days later, the men heard a soft, flapping11noise above them.
几天后，船上的人听到了空中传来轻柔、拍动的声音。
“Birds!” shouted a happy sailor. “lt' s birds!” They knew that where there were birds, there was land. The men wondered what kind of place they were coming to.
「是鸟!」一名开心的水手喊道。「是鸟!」他们知道哪里有鸟群，哪里就有陆地。他们很想知道即将前往什么样的地方。
Then one evening they saw a small island rising up out of the water.
然后，一天傍晩，他们看见一座小岛缓缓露出水面。
The next morning Christopher //www.58yuanyou.comand some of his men got into a small boat and rowed toward shore. They saw only pristine12white sand and blue sky. Then some people came out from the bushes.
隔天早上，克里斯托弗跟几个人搭了小船划向岸边。他们眼目所及尽是原始天然的白沙以及蔚蓝的天空。接着，有些人从树丛里出来。
These must be Indians13, said Christopher. He thought he'd landed in the Indies. However, they were really on San Salvador14, an island off the coast of America.
「这些人一定是印度人。」克里斯托弗说。他想他们一定是到达了印度群岛。然而，他们所抵达的其实是「圣萨尔瓦多」，一座美洲沿海的岛屿。
The Indians were friendly and gave Christopher many fascinating15gifts. Christopher decided to take the gifts back to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.
那些印度人很友善，送给克里斯托弗许多极其美好的礼物。克里斯托弗决定带着这些礼物回国，献给婓迪南国王和伊莎贝拉王后。
The voyage back was stormy, but at last they arrived home with theircargo16.
返航旅程中暴风不断，但最终他们还是带着货物回到了家乡。
With Queen Isabella’s assistance17,Christopher sailed back three more times.
在伊莎贝拉王后的协助下，克里斯托弗又三次出航回到那里。
But he never knew what a truly great discovery he'd made. Only later did the Europeans realize that Christopher Columbus had not found the Indies, but two huge continents North and South America.
但是他从来不知道自己的发现是多么伟大。直到后来，欧洲人才明白克里斯托弗哥伦布发现的不是印度群岛，而是两个大陆:北美洲和南美洲。
Of course, not everyone has to be curious. But if you are, you may find out some wonderful things - things that may change the world.
