And suddenly I had to walk away.

但船儿猛然间变成了一条龙！

猛然间一个念头在我脑中闪起，我很平静地问他，是哪一年到此地来的，他慢吞吞地说是在上世纪50年代末自外省来此。

Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind and I asked him with equanimity, which year you came here? He answered unhurriedly, he came from extra-province in the end of the fifties of last century.
