4 RETRACE YOUR STEPS

Chapter four, retrace your steps. "OK, first things first." I folded my hands in my lap. "Let's retrace your steps." Pip looked at me with an open mouth for a moment. "Um, trace my feet? How will that help with my hair?" I smiled. "It means go back to where you were when it happened. It's something my parents make me do if I've lost something. You can do it in your mind, too. Just think back in your memory and tell me everything you were doing right before your hair, um, sprouted." "Ohhhh," said Pip. He twisted his mouth to one side and looked up. "Let's see.

第四章，回溯你的脚步。 “好吧，重要的事情先说。”我双手交叉放在腿上。 “让我们追溯一下你的足迹吧。” 匹普张大嘴巴看了我一会儿。 “嗯，追踪我的脚？”这对我的头发有什么帮助？”我笑了笑。 意思是回到事情发生时你所在的地方。 如果我丢了东西，我父母就会让我这么做。 你也可以在心里做。 回想一下你的记忆，告诉我在你的头发长出来之前你在做什么。” “哦，”匹普说。他把嘴歪向一边，抬起头来。 “让我们看看。我在走路

through the trees by the merhorse stream." "Were you touching anything?" "Nope." "Huh. OK, um, did you hear anything or see anything unusual?" "Nope." "OK, so you were just walking normally, not touching anything, not hearing or seeing anything unusual, and the next thing you knew your head was kind of itchy and then the hair appeared?" "Exactly!" said Pip. He sat down cross-legged next to me and put a hand on his chin just like me. Sassafras joined us, and we all sat there in silence. "Hmmm…" I said. "I guess let's go look in person? Maybe we'll notice something you didn't?"

穿过马溪旁的树林。” “你碰过什么东西吗？”“不。” “嗯。好吧，嗯，你听到或看到什么不寻常的事情了吗？”“不。” “好吧，所以你只是正常走路，没有触摸任何东西，没有听到或看到任何不寻常的东西，然后你知道你的头有点痒，然后头发就出现了？”“没错！”匹普说。 他盘腿坐在我旁边，像我一样把手放在下巴上。 萨萨弗拉斯加入了我们，我们都静静地坐在那里。 “嗯……”我说。“我想我们还是亲自去看看吧？” 也许我们会注意到一些你没有注意到的东西？”

Pip stood up and nodded, which made his curls bounce. "I think that's a good idea!" "To the forest we go!" I cheered.

匹普站起来点了点头，这使他的卷发弹了起来。 “我觉得这是个好主意！”“我们去森林！”我欢呼雀跃。
