We want you to tell us about places you know on the east coast

where there are cliffs and steps going down to the beach, said Winstanley.

He thought for a minute or two.
他思考了一两分钟。
'There are a lot of seaside towns-holiday places-where there are steps from the town down to the beach. '
"海边有许多村镇--度假地--那里都有台阶通往海滩。"
'No, that's not private enough, 'I said.
"不，那不够隐秘，"我说。
'Well, I don't know. Of course, there's the Ruff-'
"那我就不知道了。当然，有个叫拉福的--"
'What's that? '
"什么？"
'It's in Kent, near Bradgate.
"在肯特，离布拉盖特很近。
There are cliffs with houses along the top-big houses.
那有峭壁，房子建在峭壁顶上--都是大房子。
Some of the houses have steps down to a beach. Mostly rich people live there,

the sort of people who like to be private.
就是那些喜欢隐秘的主儿们。"
I opened the Tide Tables at Bradgate.

High tide was at 10. 27 on the 15th of June.
六月十五日那里的涨潮时间是十点二十七分。
'This looks hopeful, 'I cried. 'How can I find out when high tide is at the Ruff? '
"看来有希望，"我叫了起来。"怎么找出拉福的涨潮时间？"
'I can tell you that, sir, 'said the sailor. 'I used to go fishing there.
"先生，这我可以告诉您，"那个海员说。"过去我常常到那里钓鱼。
High tide is ten minutes before Bradgate. '

I closed the book and looked up at the others.
