[10:55.52]She had never calculated that a move would be so exhausting
[10:58.49]她从未估计到搬家会这么累人,
[11:01.47]and she collapsed38 in her bed.

[11:05.03]As she looked out of the window
[11:06.79]她朝窗外望去,
[11:08.55]she saw a buoy39 in the water that she had never seen before.

[11:47.34]As she looked at the buoyant children on the water,

[11:52.18]the crowd in her lawn burgeoned40 into a regular party.
[11:54.84]她家草坪上的人群已经迅速发展成了一个标准聚会。
[11:57.51]She had never taken into her calculations that other people

[12:29.06]A by-product42 of her good sportsmanship and friendliness43
[12:32.50]她具有良好的运动员素质,而且为人友善,这给她带来了一个意外的结果,
[12:35.93]was that her name became the buzzword for swimming at this location.
[12:38.80]那就是她的名字在那儿成了代替"游泳"的时髦词儿。

[14:20.28]他在脑子里给这个想法写下的说明是:
[14:23.01]'animals with unlimited48 capacity'.
[14:25.19]"能力无限的动物。"
[14:27.37]Then he looked at Lucy.
