6 All Alone

6. All ALONE Meanwhile, somewhere not so far away, Camicazi was singing to herself in the dark. She was singing to keep her spirits up. Camicazi was not the kind of child who panicked in a difficult situation. This was lucky, because she had been imprisoned in total blackness for a week now, in the suffocating claustrophobic confines of a tree trunk so narrow that she could reach out and touch the walls of her cell on either side. And the only lock could not be picked, she knew that now. And there was nothing to dig with and nowhere to dig to.

6. 与此同时，在不远处的某个地方，卡米卡齐正在黑暗中自言自语。 她唱歌是为了使自己振作起来。 Camicazi不是那种在困难的情况下惊慌失措的孩子。 这是幸运的，因为她已经在完全黑暗的环境中被囚禁了一个星期了，在一个狭窄的树干上，令人窒息，幽闭恐怖，她可以伸手触摸到牢房两侧的墙壁。 唯一的锁是撬不开的，她现在知道了。 没有东西可以挖，也没有地方可以挖。

But she was not afraid, she told herself. She was scared for her dragon, Stormfly, of course, who had been taken away by that horrid man and put who knows where? Camicazi hoped that Stormfly had not been locked up too, for Stormfly could not bear confinement. But she herself, she, Camicazi, was not afraid. Even though nobody who loved her knew where she was. The tree in which she was imprisoned was in the middle of a forest. And from the outside, there was nothing about the tree that distinguished it from the other 35,672 trees standing

但她并不害怕，她告诉自己。 她当然是为她的龙——风暴蝇感到害怕，它被那个可怕的人带走了，谁知道被关在什么地方？ Camicazi希望Stormfly没有被关起来，因为Stormfly不能忍受禁闭。 但她自己，她，卡米卡齐，并不害怕。 尽管爱她的人都不知道她在哪里。 囚禁她的那棵树在森林中央。 从外面看，这棵树和其他35672棵树没有什么区别

immediately around it. And she could not be more utterly and comprehensively and mind- losingly lost, than if she had been steering The Stormy Petrel across a tempest-tossed night sky, and accidentally dropped down a black hole in space. But I am not really lost, she said to herself, because it does not matter so much WHERE you are as long as you know WHO you are. And she was a Bog- Burglar, and Bog-Burglars do not scare easy. That was why Camicazi started to sing the

就在它周围。如果她驾驶着“暴风雨海燕号”穿越狂风暴雨的夜空，不小心掉进了太空的黑洞，那她就再也找不到比这更彻底、更全面、更迷失方向的了。 但是我并没有真的迷路，她对自己说，因为只要你知道你是谁，你在哪里并不重要。 她是一个沼泽夜贼，而沼泽夜贼是不会轻易被吓到的。 这就是为什么Camicazi开始唱

Bog- Burglar Tribal Anthem, shouting it out as loudly as she could in the echoing blackness of the tree: 'BOG-BURGLARS KNOW NOT THE MEANING OF FEAR! FOR BOG- BURGLAR HEARTS ARE STRONGER THAN OAK! YOUR SHIP IS NOT LOST WHEN THE SEA IS YOUR HOME! AND BOG BURGLARS… FIGHT… FOREVER!' Loud and defiant were the words, ringing out boldly within the hollowness of the tree, comforting Camicazi with every heartening echo. But outside the tree… Why, outside the tree they could not be heard at all.

沼泽夜贼部落圣歌，她在树林的回声中尽可能大声地喊出来：“沼泽夜贼不知道恐惧的意义！因为沼泽窃贼的心比橡树还坚强！当大海是你的家时，你的船就不会迷路！和沼泽窃贼……打架……永远！”这句话响亮而挑衅，大胆地在树洞里响起，每一个令人振奋的回声都在安慰卡米卡齐。 可是在树外……唉，树外根本听不见他们说话。
