将往返票和旅行支票稳妥地装进手提箱后，他决定在季节的假期中的某个特定时期 出发，前往苏格兰南部和瑞典。
He packed his wardrobe essentials: a thick sweater, a warm vest, several pairs of thick trousers, a swimming costume for the water, a spare sock in case he lost one, comfortable sandals, and an absorbent towel.

Back in his standard suite, he took a warm bath using tap water from the ship's water pipe. However, he soon felt a slight stomachache and a sore throat, wondering if it was a symptom of a new virus or just a side effect of his sleeping pill.
回到他的标准间，他用船上水管里流出的自来水洗了个热水澡。然而，他很快感到一阵轻微的 胃痛和嗓子痛，他怀疑这究竟是某种新病毒感染的症状，还是仅仅是他服用的安眠药片的副作用。
He was scared of catching tropical yellow fever or the dreaded sleeping sickness. Fortunately, the ship's surgeon gave him a medicinal tablet, a helpful vaccine, and a pleasant sweetener mixed into a soothing syrup to coat his tongue and throat.
他一度感到非常害怕的，担心自己染上热带的黄热病或可怕的嗜睡症。幸运的是，船上的外科医生给了他一片药效显著的药片、一剂有用的疫苗，以及一种混在舒缓糖浆里的怡人甜味剂，用来润泽他的舌头和喉咙。

Feeling brave, he even tried swimming in waterfall pools using an inflatable swimming ring.

At a local wildlife reserve, he spotted a large spider, a buzzing wasp, a crawling worm, an exotic zebra, a creepy scarecrow guarding a field, herds of sheep and cattle, and surprisingly, a rare species of crocodiles.

Chapter 3: The Incident and Resolution (突发事件与结局)
One afternoon, a cunning shoplifter and his partner, a known thief, tried to steal Baizer's traveller's check and all his money—the stuff of purse—while he was browsing a busy stall near Rose Lane.
一天下午，当 Baizer 正在玫瑰小巷附近一个繁忙的摊位闲逛时，一名狡猾的商店扒手和他的同伙（一名惯偷）试图偷走 Baizer 的旅行支票和所有的钱财——也就是钱包的材料（物品）。

He started his journey home, smartly avoiding the chaotic rush hour traffic, and firmly clicked his seat belt into place inside his large truck (which now had a heavy trailer attached).
意识到自己需要真正的休息，他决定暂时从繁重的工作中退出，休了一个急需的无薪休假。他踏上了回家的旅程，聪明地避开了混乱的高峰时段交通，并在他那辆大卡车（现在还连着一辆沉重的拖车）里牢牢地系好了安全带。

他轻轻地发出一声叹气，微微耸了耸（耸肩）肩膀，在驾驶室里放松下来，吹起小号、拉起小提琴，演奏着优美的曲子。对他这极未必的（出人意料的）却又不断令人惊讶的 **传说（故事）**而言，这是一个令人愉悦的、简单的（直率的）且完全值得的结局。
