3 Hawkeye and the Last Mohican

CHAPTER 3 Hawkeye and the Last Mohican A few miles away, two men sat talking beside a small stream deep in the forest. One, a strong, dark-haired man, sat on a mossy log. His name was Hawkeye. He wore an old, dark green hunting shirt and gray moccasins on his feet. In his belt he carried a sharp hunting knife. His rifle rested against a tree next to him. He and Chingachgook, the chief of the Mohican tribe, were deep in conversation about how quickly the world around them was

第三章鹰眼和最后的莫希干人几英里外，两个男人坐在森林深处的一条小溪边聊天。 一个强壮的黑发男子坐在一根长满苔藓的圆木上。 他的名字叫鹰眼。他穿着一件旧的深绿色狩猎衫，脚上穿着灰色的鹿皮鞋。 他腰带上挂着一把锋利的猎刀。 他的步枪靠在旁边的一棵树上。 他和莫希干部落的首领Chingachgook深入地谈论着他们周围的世界是多么的快速

changing. "My son, Uncas, is the last of our kind," Chingachgook said. "He is the last of the Mohicans. When he is gone, our tribe will exist no more." At that moment, a young warrior raced between the two men and sat down beside Chingachgook. "Here I am," Uncas said. "What are you discussing?" "Hawkeye and I were talking about the past and the future," Chingachgook answered.

改变。“我的儿子，恩卡斯，是我们家族的最后一个了，”钦加古说。 “他是最后一个莫希干人。 他一走，我们的部落就不复存在了。” 就在那一刻，一个年轻的战士跑到两人之间，坐在钦加古的旁边。 “我在这里，”昂卡斯说。“你们在讨论什么？”“鹰眼和我在谈论过去和未来，”钦加古回答。

The young warrior fell to the ground and listened. "I hear horses," he said. "Perhaps it is wolves," Hawkeye suggested. "No," Uncas answered. "They are your people, the English, from the fort. You must go speak to them." "I would if I heard anything!" Hawkeye said and smiled. "But I can't hear a single hoof!" Uncas motioned for him to be quiet. A dry stick cracked. "There," Hawkeye whispered. "I mistook them for the waterfalls. I hear them now. For

年轻的战士倒在地上听着。 “我听到了马的声音，”他说。“也许是狼。”鹰眼暗示道。 “不，”昂卡斯回答。“他们是你的人，来自堡垒的英国人。 你必须去和他们谈谈。” “如果我听到任何消息，我会的！”鹰眼笑着说。 “可是我一个马蹄声也听不见！”昂卡斯示意他安静。 一根干木棍裂开了。“那里。”鹰眼低声说。 “我把它们当成瀑布了。 我现在听到了。为

their own good, I hope the Hurons can't hear them. I should go and warn them that the woods are not safe." But before Hawkeye could set out to find the men on horses, Duncan and the girls appeared before him. "Who are you?" Hawkeye asked. "What are you doing in this part of the forest?" "I am a soldier, charged with taking these girls to Fort William Henry," Duncan said. "We've been traveling most of the day." "Are you lost?" Hawkeye asked. "I believe we are. Do you know how far we are from the fort?" Duncan asked. Hawkeye laughed, and then grew quiet, afraid that the Hurons might hear him. "You are going in the wrong direction. You'd be better off heading to Fort Edward, where the army is, and speaking with General Webb. He's in charge there." David came up beside them and said, "We left

为他们好，我希望休伦人听不到。 我应该去警告他们，森林里不安全。” 但在鹰眼出发寻找骑马的人之前，邓肯和女孩们出现在他面前。 “你是谁？”鹰眼问道。 “你在这片森林里干什么？”“我是一名士兵，负责把这些女孩带到威廉·亨利堡，”邓肯说。 “我们今天大部分时间都在旅行。” “你迷路了吗？”鹰眼问道。 “我相信我们是。你知道我们离堡垒有多远吗？”邓肯问。 鹰眼笑了，然后安静了下来，害怕休伦人会听到他。 “你走错方向了。 你最好去爱德华堡，那里有军队，和韦伯将军谈谈。 他是那里的负责人。”大卫来到他们旁边，说：“我们走了

Fort Edward this morning. How far are we from Fort William Henry?" "You must have lost your eyesight before you lost your way," Hawkeye replied. "There's a road that takes you right to Fort William Henry." "It is an excellent road," Duncan replied. "But to stay away from the French and to be safe, we hired an Indian guide, Magua, to show us a different way. Now we are lost." Hawkeye looked at the soldier. "An Indian, lost in the woods? That seems strange. Is he a Mohawk?" "I think he was born to the North. A Huron, perhaps?" At that, Chingachgook and Uncas rose and stood beside Hawkeye. "It sounds as if you shouldn't have trusted this scout," Hawkeye said. "Oh, don't be silly. He is our friend, of that I am sure. Now—how far to Fort William Henry? We could reward you well to take us there. I am Major Duncan Heyward, and these are General

爱德华堡。我们离威廉·亨利堡还有多远？”“你一定是在迷路之前就失明了。”鹰眼回答。 “有一条路可以直达威廉·亨利堡。” “这条路很好，”邓肯回答。 “但为了远离法国人，也为了安全起见，我们雇了一位名叫马瓜（Magua）的印度导游，带我们走另一条路。 现在我们迷路了。”鹰眼看着那个士兵。 “一个印第安人，在树林里迷路了？” 这似乎很奇怪。他是莫霍克人吗？”“我想他出生在北方。 也许是休伦人吧？”听了这话，钦加古和恩卡斯站了起来，站在鹰眼旁边。 “听起来好像你不应该信任这个侦察兵。”鹰眼说。 “哦，别傻了。他是我们的朋友，这一点我敢肯定。 到威廉·亨利堡还有多远？ 如果你带我们去，我们会给你丰厚的报酬。 我是邓肯·海沃德少校，这些是将军

Munro's daughters, who are trying to get home." He pointed to Cora and Alice, who were waiting patiently for him. Hawkeye looked surprised. "Yes, I heard a party was leaving this morning for Fort William Henry. I am the scout Hawkeye. It seems strange to me that your guide would desert you." "I think he has gone too far ahead," Duncan said. "Fort William Henry is just an hour's ride from here," Hawkeye said. "I can show you, but it is a rough ride, not meant for women." Cora and Alice did not hear him say this, or they would have protested. Instead, Duncan told Hawkeye that although they were tired, they could certainly ride for another hour. Then he whispered, "I started to suspect our guide was leading us astray, so I sent him ahead. But now I am convinced that he will not return." "You wait here. We'll soon find him—and the truth." Then Hawkeye stepped away to speak

门罗的女儿们，她们正在努力回家。” 他指着科拉和爱丽丝，她们正耐心地等着他。 鹰眼看起来很惊讶。“是的，我听说今天上午有一队人要去威廉·亨利堡。 我是鹰眼侦察员。我觉得很奇怪，你的向导竟然抛弃了你。” “我认为他已经走得太远了，”邓肯说。 “威廉·亨利堡离这里只有一个小时的车程，”鹰眼说。 “我可以带你去，但这是一段艰难的旅程，不适合女人。” 科拉和爱丽丝没有听见他这么说，否则她们会抗议的。 相反，邓肯告诉鹰眼，虽然他们累了，但他们肯定可以再骑一个小时。 然后他低声说：“我开始怀疑我们的向导会把我们引入歧途，所以我让他走在前面。 但现在我确信他不会回来了。” “你在这儿等着。我们很快就会找到他——找到真相。” 然后鹰眼走开说话了
