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

的 tillicum 在告诉这个传说时并没有使用“诱惑”这个词。

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

年轻的 tillicum 已经完成了他的传统，他那双严肃的大眼睛若有所思地看着。

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

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.

但是所有的年轻人，除了一个，都像他去的一样回来了——善待穷人，善待​​那些没有食物的人，分享他有的一切。

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).

的老铁匠举起他的桨叶指向它。 '你知道这个故事'？他问。摇摇头（经验告诉他喜欢沉默的回答，他的传奇故事的心情）。

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'?

想到他所有的所有非凡勇气， 于是回答说：'但是你说这个岛的阴影已经落在你身上； 不是这样吗， 蒂利库姆？

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“失落的护身符”的传说时，的好朋友，已故的卡皮拉诺酋长，以一个几乎令人惊讶的问题开始了这个故事，听说过拿破仑波拿巴吗？

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.

在与的许多善良的 tillicums 交谈时，发现这个女巫传说是她通过向揭示的所有传统中最广为人知和最彻底相信的。

'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.

“你知道的，”年轻的 tillicum 开始说，“只有未被人手污染的水才有用。”在人类制造的火加热或煮沸的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.

当沉思这个关于女儿忠诚的奇怪故事时，注视着大海和天空，希望能给一些关于不可避免的续集的线索，而 tillicum 就像他的所有种族一样，肯定会等到适当的时候才会出现。
