At the first note from his trumpet, she woke.

What she saw filled her with astonishment. Shegazed straight at Louis.
她所看到的一切令她的心中充满了惊奇。她直盯着路易斯。
At first, she could hardly remember where she was.

Directly in front of her, she saw a handsome youngmale swan, a cob of noble proportions.
从她的对面，她看到了一只清秀的年轻雄天鹅，一只具有贵族风范的天鹅。
Held against his mouth was a strange instrument--something she had never seen before.

And from this strange instrument came sounds that made her tremble with joy and with love.
从这种奇特的仪器里流泻一出的声音令她因欢一爱一交织而全身激颤不已。
As the song went on, as the light grew stronger,
乐曲在渐进，天光在渐亮，
she fell hopelessly in love with this bold trumpeter who had awakened her from her dreams.

The dreams of night were gone. New dreams of day were upon her.

She knew that she was full of sensations she had never had before-- feelings of delight andecstasy and wonder.
她感到现在浑身充溢着一种以前从未有过的复杂感觉--快乐的心醉的惊奇的感觉。
She had never seen a finer-looking young cob.

她更不曾被一种平生素所未闻的声音震撼过。
"Oh!" she thought. "Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
“噢!”她想。“噢，噢，噢，噢!”
The song ended. Louis lowered his trumpet and bowed solemnly to Serena.
曲声终止了。路易斯放下他的小号，郑重地向塞蕾娜鞠了一躬。
Then he raised his horn again. "Ko-hoh!" he said.
然后他又举起了他的小号。“吭—嗬!”他说。

"Ko-hoh, ko-hoh!" said Louis through his trumpet.

Louis dipped his neck and pumped it back and forth.

Louis splashed a little water into the air. Serena splashed a little water into the air.

It was like a game. It was love at long last for Louis; it was love at first sight for Serena.

Then Louis decided to show off. "I'll play her my own composition," he thought.
接着路易斯决定充分展示一下自己。“我要给她吹我自己的歌，”他想，
"The one I made up for her last summer at camp." Again he raised his trumpet.
“就是我去年夏天在夏令营为她创作的那首。”他又举起了他的小号。
