Summer is the best time on the Island of the Blue Dolphins (海豚). The sun is warm then and the winds blow out of the west, 16 out of the south.
It was 17 these days that the ship might return and now I 18 most of my time on the rock, 19 out from the headland(水中凸起的陆地) into the east, towards the country 20 my people had gone, across the 21 that was never-ending.
Once 22 I watched, I saw a small object which I took to be the ship, but a stream of water 23 from it and I knew that it was whale (鲸鱼)spouting (喷水). During those summer days I saw nothing 24 .
The first storm of winter 25 my hopes. If the white men's ship were 26 for me it would have come during the time of good 27 . Now I would have to wait 28 winter was gone, maybe longer.
The thought of being 29 on the island while so many suns rose 30 the sea and went 31 back into the sea 32 my heart with loneliness. I had not felt so 33 before because I was sure 34 the ship would return as Matasaip had said 35 would. Now my hopes were dead.

Frank told us of his childhood. “My dad was a fisherman, and he 36 the sea. It was 37 making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out 38 he caught enough to feed the family.”
“He was a big man, and was 39 from pulling the nets and fighting the seas. When you got close to him, he smelled like the 40 . No matter how much my mother 41 his clothes, they would 42 smell of fish.”
“Every day he drove me to school. When the old truck rattled (嘎嘎作响) down the road, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to 43 . When we reached school, he would give me a kiss on the cheek and 44 me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. I was 45 twelve years old!”

When he started to lean toward me, I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.’ It was the first time I had ever talked to him in that 47 , and he had this 48 look on his face. I said, ‘Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss.’ My dad looked at me and his eyes were filled with tears. I had never seen him 49 . ‘You’re right,’ he said. ‘You are a big boy...a man. I won’t 50 you any more.’”

“Guys, you don’t know what I would like is to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek, to feel his 54 old face, to smell the ocean on him. I wish I had been a man then. 55 I had been a man, I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”
