The boat drifted for hours, 小船随水漂了好几个小时,
until it came to rest beside a cottage in a cherry orchard. 最后停在了一片樱桃园里的小屋旁。
An old woman in a flowered sun hat pulled Gerda ashore. 一位戴着碎花遮阳帽的老太太把格尔达拉上了岸。
"You poor child," she said. “可怜的孩子,”她说,
"Come in, and have some cherries." “快进来吃点樱桃吧。”
As Gerda talked about Kay, 当格尔达聊起加伊时,
the old woman combed her hair with a golden comb, 老太太正用一把金梳子梳着她的头发,
and with every stroke, Gerda forgot a little more. 每梳一下,格尔达就多忘掉一些事情。
The old woman wasn't wicked; she was simply lonely, 老太太并不坏,她只是太孤单了,
and wanted to keep the girl. 想把这个女孩留下来。
So she made every rose in her garden sink into the ground, 于是她让花园里的每一朵玫瑰都沉入地下,
so nothing would remind Gerda of home. 免得有任何东西让格尔达想起家。
It was always summer there. 那里的日子永远都是夏天。
Comfort can become a cage, 安逸有时也会成为囚笼,
if it makes you forget where you were going. 如果它让你忘了自己原本要去哪儿的话。
Then one day, 后来有一天,
Gerda noticed a rose painted on the old woman's hat. 格尔达注意到了老太太帽子上画着的一朵玫瑰。
She remembered Kay, and burst into tears. 她猛地想起了加伊,忍不住哭了出来。
"Is Kay dead?" “加伊死了吗?”
she asked the flowers. 她问那些花儿。
"No," said the roses. “没有,”玫瑰花说,
"He's out there somewhere." “他在外面的某个地方呢。”
Gerda ran. 格尔达拔腿就跑。
Outside the gate, it was already autumn. 而院门外面,早就已经是秋天了。
