My tillicum did not use the word 'lure' in telling me this legend.

我 tillicum 在告诉我这传说时并没有使用“诱惑”这词。

I had learned to love silences when with my old tillicum, for they always led to a legend.

和我老蒂莉库姆在起时， 我学会了热爱沉默， 因为它们总是会引传奇。

My young tillicum had finished his tradition, and his great, solemn eyes regarded me half-wistfully.

我年轻 tillicum 已经完成了他传统，他那双严肃大眼睛若有所思地看着我。

He loved them better than food, better than his tillicums, better than his life.

他爱它们胜过爱食物， 爱他荚， 爱他生命。

But all our young men, except one, returned as they went — kind to the poor, kind to those who were foodless, sharing whatever they had with their tillicums.

但是我们所有年轻人，除了，都像他们去样回来了——善待穷人，善待​​那些没有食物人，分享他们有切。

In talking with my many good tillicums, I find this witch-woman legend is the most universally known and thoroughly believed in of all traditions they have honored me by revealing to me.

在与我许多善良 tillicums 交谈时，我发现这女巫传说是她们通过向我揭示所有传统中最广为人知和最彻底相信。

In telling me the legend of 'The Lost Talisman, ' my good tillicum, the late Chief Capilano, began the story with the almost amazing question, Had I ever heard of Napoleon Bonaparte?

在告诉我“失落护身符”传说时，我好朋友，已故卡皮拉诺酋长，以几乎令人惊讶问题开始了这故事，我听说过拿破仑波拿巴吗？

My old tillicum lifted his paddle-blade to point towards it. 'You know the story'? he asked. I shook my head (experience has taught me his love of silent replies, his moods of legend-telling).

我老铁匠举起他桨叶指向它。 '你知道这故事'？他问。我摇摇头（经验告诉我他喜欢沉默回答，他传奇故事心情）。

I thought of all the splendid courage I knew him to possess, so made answer: 'But you say that the shadow of this island has fallen upon you; is it not so, tillicum'?

我想到他所有所有非凡勇气， 于是回答说：'但是你说这岛阴影已经落在你身上； 不是这样吗， 蒂利库姆？

'You know, ' began my young tillicum, 'that only waters unspoiled by human hands can be of any benefit. One gains no strength by swimming in any waters heated or boiled by fires that men build.

“你知道，”我年轻 tillicum 开始说，“只有未被人手污染水才有用。”在人类制造火加热或煮沸任何水域中游泳都不会获得力量。

As I brooded over this strange tale of a daughter's devotion, I watched the sea and sky for something that would give me a clue to the inevitable sequel that the tillicum, like all his race, was surely withholding until the opportune moment.

当我沉思这关于女儿忠诚奇怪故事时，我注视着大海和天空，希望能给我些关于不可避免续集线索，而 tillicum 就像他所有种族样，肯定会等到适当时候才会现。
