Lesson two
1.But these marks of wild country called to my father like the legendary siren song.
可是正是這些特征，像希臘神話里海妖那動聽的歌聲一樣，誘惑著爸爸。?
Though the place was not pleasant and disagreeable to other people, they were the very things that fascinated my father---its unexplored, uncultivated natural state,?and the challenge.?The attractions were irresistible to my father,?just like the legendary siren song to sailors.
2.\"I\'m afraid the day\'s going to catch us,\" I explained, wondering what great disaster might befall us if it did.“我怕天就要黑了，”?我解釋到，心里想天真的黑了，會有什么樣更大的災難降臨到我們頭上。?
As a little girl,?I believed my father\'s words,?and was genuinely afraid of the possible disaster--if we didn\'t hurry up,?the day would catch us and terrible things might happen.
3....from time to time he was halfheartedly sought for trial, though few crimes seemed to lead directly to his door.警察們時不時地例行公事，試圖逮捕他，但似乎找不出他違法的具體證據。?
In this place,?though the police wound make some effort without real earnest to investigate Watson and bring him to court,?there seemed to be little concrete evidence to prove that he was responsible for certain illegal activities.
4.The stranglehold Watson had over this section of Florida was not dissimilar to the unscrupulous activities of certain lawmen, other legal crooks, and even governors that our state was to suffer through its history.沃森在佛羅里達州這一地區(qū)的惡霸行為與我們在后來所遭受的某些執(zhí)法者、法律騙子，甚至一些地方官員們的無恥行徑毫無二致。?
The control Watson had over this part of Florida was much similar to the dishonest or illegal activities of the law-enforcing officials and governors which Florida witnessed in the 20th century.
