Audiobook Dictation: “Just as he made his cast…”

Just as he made his cast, he saw the fleeing drake and the pursuing hawk come round the bend.

就在他抛竿的一刹那，他看见那只逃命的公鸭和紧追不舍的鹰从河湾处绕了过来。

He saw the frantic fugitive dive over the ledge and disappear.

他看见那惊慌失措的逃亡者一头扎过岩架，不见了踪影。

He saw the great hawk swoop savagely.

他看见那只大鹰凶猛地俯冲而下。

He tried to check his cast, but it was too late.

他想收住这一竿，可已经太迟了。

The last drop-fly, as luck would have it, caught just in the corner of the hawk's angrily open beak, hooking itself firmly.

偏偏最后那只假蝇钩恰好挂在鹰愤怒张开的喙角上，牢牢地钩住了。

At the sudden sharp sting of it, the great bird turned his head and noticed, for the first time, the fisherman standing on the bank.

那突如其来的刺痛让大鸟扭过头，第一次注意到了站在岸上的垂钓者。

At the same moment he felt the light restraint of the almost invisible leader upon his wings, where the other two flies had affixed themselves.

与此同时，它感到翅膀上被那几乎看不见的引线轻轻牵住了，另外两只假蝇钩就挂在那里。

The drag upon his beak and the light check upon his wings were inexplicable to him, and appalling.

喙上的拉扯和翅膀上的轻微牵制让它莫名其妙，也惊恐万分。

For a moment the fisherman, bewildered, tried to play him like a salmon.

一时间，垂钓者不知所措，竟像遛鲑鱼一样跟它周旋起来。

Then the leader parted from the line.

接着，引线从钓线上断开了。
