雾天的船为什么要呜呜拉汽笛

On foggy days, sailors cannot see far.
一到雾天,水手们什么都看不清。

Ships blow a deep horn to be heard.
轮船就拉响低沉的大汽笛。

Low sounds travel much farther.
低沉的声音呀,能传出去特别远。

The deep horn tells others, Here I am.
这低沉的汽笛,就像在说我在这儿呢。

Other ships hear it and keep away.
别的船听见了,赶紧绕开走。

It keeps boats from crashing into each other.
这样一来,船和船就不会撞上啦。
