并非基地人员想圈养他们,而是他们实在太过珍贵,把他们放归大海实在不安全。以前的海豚都是群居,几十上百只一群,多的甚至超过数万只,足以对抗海洋中其他危险的生物,但如今仅剩两只,遇上凶猛的鲨鱼,分分钟被咬杀。

It wasn’t that the base wanted to confine them, but that they were far too precious to be allowed back to the ocean where danger lurked everywhere. The dolphins in the past were group mammals, having anywhere from ninety to hundreds, the largest groups even have several thousand members. Such large groups had the power to confront other dangerous animals. But now there were only two, if they were to meet up with a shark they would be bitten to death in minutes.

“火焰,海浪,秦先生又来看你们了。”基地负责人崔博士笑着喊道。

“Flames, Waves, Mr. Qin came to see you two again.” The director, Dr. Cui shouted toward them with a smile.

这会,一大一小两只海豚正敞着肚皮在水面仰泳,见秦渊来了,尚可立刻翻转,摆出一个自认优雅的泳姿,一晃一晃地游到岸边,笑眯眯地仰头冲他叫了一声。

At the moment, the two large and small dolphins were showing their bellies to the sky and swimming with backward strokes. Shang Ke immediately flipped overseeing the arrival of Qin Yuan and swam in a way he personally believed was very elegant and made his way to the shore. Happily, he raised his head and cried out.

“礼物。”秦渊让人将一只半人高的橡皮鸭放进水中,黄灿灿的一大坨,差点把尚可眼睛给闪瞎了。

“A present.” Qin Yuan had people put down the half-human sized rubber duck in the water. The bright yellow object almost blinded Shang Ke.

尚可嫌弃地瞥了一眼,用腹鳍将它拨到一边。倒是海浪这只没见过世面的小家伙好像很喜欢,兴冲冲地顶着黄小鸭跑到水中央玩耍去了。

Shang Ke gave it a glance of disdain and used a fin to push it away. But Waves who have never seen such an object before rather liked it and took the yellow rubber duck to play with in the water.

“你不喜欢吗?”秦渊从助理那里拿过一个平板,点开一个网页,递到尚可面前,“看看喜欢什么,回头给你买。”

“You don’t like it?” Qin Lun took the tablet his assistant handed over, opened up a web page and held it in front of Shang Ke. “See what you like, I’ll buy it for you when I got back.”

旁边的崔博士见状,一脸呆滞。秦先生竟然让一只海豚自己在网上挑选商品?!

Dr. Cui stared blankly by his side at the scene. Mr. Qin was letting a dolphin choose what it wants from the web page?

原本以为火焰会将平板当玩具咬进嘴里,又或者当作危险物品顶飞,没想到“它”还真的有模有样地浏览起来!

He thought that Flames would take the tablet as a toy and bite it, or maybe as a dangerous object and hit it flying. He did not expect “it” to actually browse through the items on the web page!

只见火焰将脑袋凑过去,瞪大眼睛盯着屏幕上玲琅满目的商品图片,然后用腹鳍指着一只乌贼叫了几声,秦渊二话不说将它收进购物篮。接着,他又分别选了一只鲨鱼和一艘轮船模型。

He watched as Shang Ke moved closer and stared at the images of goods on the lit screen, then pointed at a cuttlefish with his fin and made some sounds. Qin Yuan put that item into his shopping cart without a word of objection. Then, he picked out a shark and ship model.
