第1段
He put on his goggles, fitted them tight, tested the vacuum. His hands were shaking. Then he chose the biggest stone he could carry and slipped over the edge of the rock until half of him was in the cool, enclosing water and half in the hot sun. He looked up once at the empty sky, filled his lungs once, twice, and then sank fast to the bottom with the stone. He let it go and began to count. He took the edges of the hole in his hands and drew himself into it, wriggling his shoulders in sideways as he remembered he must, kicking himself along with his feet.
他戴上泳镜，把它扣紧，试了试镜片是否吸牢，又用颤抖的手选了一块自己能搬得动的最大的石头，然后顺着礁石边缘，往水中滑去。下半身已浸入冰冷的水中，而上半身还露在温暖的阳光里，他再一次向上望了望那浩渺的天空，然后吸足气，连同石块飞快地落入海底。他把石头扔掉，边数数边用手探着洞口，把身体往洞里挤。他记起了自己该怎么办，侧身，同时蹬水。
第2段
Soon he was clear inside. He was in a small rock-bound hole filled with yellowish-gray water. The water was pushing him up against the roof. The roof was sharp and pained his back. He pulled himself along with his hands —fast, fast— and used his legs as levers. His head knocked against something; a sharp pain dizzied him. Fifty, fifty-one, fifty-two… He was without light, and the water seemed to press upon him with the weight of rock. Seventy-one, seventy-two… There was no strain on his lungs. He felt like an inflated balloon, his lungs were so light and easy, but his head was pulsing.
很快，他已经完全进入洞内，这是一个充满黄灰色水的小石洞。水的浮力使他的背压着洞顶，尖硬的石块刺痛了他的背。他只得把腿当杠杆，用手帮助身体移动。快，快 —！他的头不知碰着了什么，痛得他头发晕， 50，51，52，……他完全处于黑暗中，像是海水推着岩石在压迫着他。71，72，他并不感到气闷，反倒觉得自己像一只充满气的球，肺部也感到十分轻松自如，只是头上的脉搏跳得慌。
第3段
He was being continually pressed against the sharp roof, which felt slimy as well as sharp. Again he thought of octopuses, and wondered if the tunnel might be filled with weed that could tangle him. He gave himself a panicky, convulsive kick forward, ducked his head, and swam. His feet and hands moved freely, as if in open water. The hole must have widened out. He thought he must be swimming fast, and he was frightened of banging his head if the tunnel narrowed.
他继续被压挤在尖利的洞顶岩石上，那石头不但尖硬，而且粘糊糊的，使他又一次想起了章鱼，怀疑地道里布满了缠人的海藻，惊恐万分。他向前猛蹬，埋头向前划去，感到手脚还运动自如，像在露天游泳差不多。他害怕隧道一旦变窄，就会撞到头。他觉得自己一定游得很快。洞道一定已经变宽了。
第4段
A hundred, a hundred and one… The water paled. Victory filled him. His lungs were beginning to hurt. A few more strokes and he would be out. He was counting wildly; he said a hundred and fifteen and then, a long time later, a hundred and fifteen again. The water was a clear jewel-green all around him. Then he saw, above his head, a crack running up through the rock. Sunlight was falling through it, showing the clean dark rock of the tunnel, a single mussel shell, and darkness ahead.
100、101……水的颜色淡了些，他心中充满了临近胜利的喜悦，只是肺部开始痛起来。再划几下他就可以出去了，他发狂地数着。他数到115，然而，过了很久，还是115。 他身边的水变成了透明的绿色，宝石一般。一线亮光从他头顶上的一条线隙中射进来，照着地道里清晰可见的黑礁石、一只孤零零的贻贝壳，还有那岩洞深处的黑暗。
第5段
He was at the end of what he could do. He looked up at the crack as if it were filled with air and not water, as if he could put his mouth to it to draw in air. A hundred and fifteen, he heard himself say inside his head — but he had said that long ago. He must go on into the blackness ahead, or he would drown. His head was swelling, his lungs cracking. A hundred and fifteen, a hundred and fifteen pounded through his head, and he feebly clutched at rocks in the dark, pulling himself forward, leaving the brief space of sunlit water behind. He felt he was dying. He was no longer quite conscious. He struggled on in the darkness between lapses into unconsciousness. An immense, swelling pain filled his head, and then the darkness cracked with an explosion of green light. His hands, groping forward, met nothing; and his feet, kicking back, propelled him out into the open sea.
他的力气即将耗尽。朝上看，他仿佛看到那条岩缝里充满了空气、而不是水，好象能把嘴伸到那儿去吸气。他心里数着 115—很久以前就是数的这个数。他必须继续朝黑暗中前进，否则会被淹死的。“115，” 这个数字反复在他脑中闪现。他头发胀，肺象要裂开，手虚弱地在黑暗中攫住石头，把自己往前推。岩缝中泄进来的那一线阳光终于被他抛到了后头，但他却感到自己正在死去，他的意识已经不那么清楚了，一步、一步、堕入昏迷的黑暗里。他在昏迷中挣扎， 头也剧痛起来。然而，正在这时，一道绿光突然划破了黑暗， 他向前探寻的手再也摸不到任何东西。脚往后一蹬，终于把自己推到了开阔的海水中。
