Chapter 3 Golden gifts When Asta awoke the next morning, both the prince and the castle had gone.
第三章金色的礼物第二天早晨,当阿斯塔醒来时,王子和城堡都不见了。
She was lying in a forest clearing, with nothing but the clothes she came in. "I'll head north," Asta decided, "because that is where the trolls dwell." Asta walked for many days and many nights, until her feet were sore and her legs were weary.
她躺在一片森林空地上,除了来时穿的衣服,什么都没有。 “我要往北走,”阿斯达决定,“因为那是巨怪住的地方。” 阿斯达走了许多天,许多夜,直到她的脚痛了,她的腿累了。
She thought of her last journey on the white bear's back- the feel of his thick, soft fur and the speed at which he bounded along. "I'll never find him," she wept.
她想起了她最后一次骑在白熊背上的旅行——它那又厚又软的皮毛的感觉,以及它蹦蹦跳跳的速度。 “我永远也找不到他了,”她哭着说。
"You shouldn't give up so easily," croaked a voice. Asta looked up to see an old woman standing beside a horse. "Can you help me?" Asta asked, eagerly. "I'm looking for my prince. He's in the castle that lies east of the sun and west of the moon."
“你不该这么轻易放弃。”一个声音沙哑地说。 阿斯塔抬起头来,看见一位老妇人站在一匹马旁边。 “你能帮我吗?”阿斯塔急切地问。 “我在找我的王子。 他在太阳东边、月亮西边的城堡里。”
"Aha!" said the old woman. "So you're the girl. I've heard tales of you and your search." I will help you.
“啊哈!”老妇人说。 “所以你就是那个女孩。我听说过你和你寻找的故事。” 我会帮助你的。
"I'll give you my horse and three golden gifts," she went on, handing. Asta a comb, an apple and a pear. "Where shall I go?" asked Asta. "To find the castle, ride until you meet the East Wind," the old woman said. "That is all I know."
“我将把我的马和三件金色的礼物送给你,”她继续说,递给我。 有一把梳子,一个苹果和一个梨。 “我该去哪儿呢?” “要找到城堡,你得骑马去见东风。” “我就知道这些。”
