The ice cream van had vanished.

冰淇淋车消失了。

But just then she was interrupted by the tinkle of an ice cream van.

但就在这时，她被冰淇淋车的铃声打断了。

Thank you, she remembered to say, but when she looked up again the ice cream van had vanished.

“谢谢你，”她记得要说，但当她再次抬头时，冰淇淋车已经消失了。

Strange, five months of toil and worry then calm descends as welcome and unexpected as an ice-cream van clattering through the bush.

说来也怪，五个月的困苦和忧虑过后，我渐渐平静下来，取而代之的是意想不到的愉悦，仿佛听见一辆冰激凌车正卡搭卡搭地穿过闷热的灌木丛。
