　　An aboriginal comes over to talk to Morley
　　Morley: Hello, my name's Morley. What tribe are you from?
　　Banai: I'm from the Yami tribe that lives on Orchid Island.
　　Morley: I heard it's a beautiful island. Do you go back often?
　　Banai: Yes, I go all the time. I run a scuba diving company for tourists. We have our own boat.
　　Morley: That's great. Maybe you can show us around.
　　Banai: This is a perfect time for you to go. Flying fish are in season right now.

　　莫理：哈啰，我是莫理。你是哪一族的？

　　Kathy: No. The bridge was only built recently.
　　Morley: Hmm. I like this undeveloped island. You don't get to see too many places like this in the world.
　　Kathy: Well, we should get back so we can catch that aboriginal performance.
　　莫理：卡西，这地方跟八仙洞有任何关系吗？
　　卡西：有。八仙洞里的其中三仙应该也来过这里。
　　莫理：那我猜他们就是造这座桥的神。
　　卡西：不是。这座桥是最近才建造的。
　　莫理：嗯。我喜欢这座未开发的岛屿。世界上这种地方并不多见。
　　卡西：嗯，我们该回去了，这样才赶得上原住民表演。
