It was a fine autumn morning; the early sun shone serenely on embrowned groves and still green fields; advancing on to the lawn, I looked up and surveyed the front of the mansion.

那是一个晴朗的秋天早晨。清晨的阳光平静地照耀在褐色的树林和依旧碧绿的田野上。走到草坪上，我抬头看了看宅邸的正面。

I was endeavouring to find some gap in the hedge, when I discovered one of the inhabitants in the next field, advancing towards the stile, of the same size with him whom I saw in the sea pursuing our boat.

我正努力在篱笆上找个空隙，这时我发现隔壁田地里有一个居民正朝栅栏走去，他和我在海里追着我们的船看到的那个人一样大。
