I asked how you could hear a person die and she told me that it was a girl who had drowned off Prout's Neck in the 1920s.

我问她你怎么能听到人死掉呢？她告诉我说那是一个姑娘，1920年代在普莱特耐克溺水死亡。

I don't know about stores and banks, but Guy Pillsbury built his share of houses and spent a good many years making sure the Atlantic Ocean and the harsh seacoast winters didn't wash away the Winslow Homer estate in Prout's Neck.

我不知道他盖没盖过商店银行，但是盖伊·皮尔斯伯里的确建了不少房子，而且多年不停地修复文斯洛·荷马（WiiwlowHomcr(1836—1910)，美国艺术家，以描绘海洋题材的油M和版画著称。下文中提到的这幅作品创作背景就是缅因州的普鲁特海峡。）位于普鲁特海峡那处房产，确保它不被大西洋和寒冷的海滨冬季所吞没。
