Foreword
Do you love Nemo? And do you want to help his father find him? Well, I am afraid I cannot wave a magic wand to put fins on your body, as I am not Harry Potter. But I can teach you how to swim, so that you will at least be able to move around in water like a fish…all right, for a start, maybe more like a frog.
前言
你喜欢尼莫吗?你想不想帮助他的爸爸找他?嗯,我恐怕不能摇摇魔法棒给你身上安上鱼鳍,因为我不是哈里?波特。但是我可以教你游泳,这样你至少可以像鱼一样在水里活动……好吧,一开始的时候,也许更像一只青蛙。
