67 THE SUNRISE

CHAPTER 67 THE SUNRISE By dawn, the bonfire had dwindled to a smoldering hill of ash. Everyone else had gone home, and only Roz and Brightbill remained in the meadow. They lay in the grass together, watching as the soft light of morning crept up from the horizon. And then Roz said, "Let us go for a walk." The robot and the goose hiked and flew up to their favorite spot on the grassy ridge. But then they kept going. They followed the ridge to the mountain and climbed all the way up to the craggy peak just in time to see the sunrise. "I climbed up here once before," said Roz as the sun's first rays warmed her body. "I sat on this very rock, looked out at the island, and thought I would always be alone. But I was wrong." "Are you happy, Ma?" The robot thought for a moment. "I am."

第六十七章日出天亮的时候，篝火已经烧成一座冒烟的灰山。 其他人都回家了，只有罗兹和布莱特比尔还留在草地上。 他们一起躺在草地上，看着柔和的晨光从地平线缓缓升起。 然后罗兹说：“我们出去走走吧。” 机器人和鹅徒步，飞到他们最喜欢的草地山脊上。 但是他们继续前进。他们顺着山脊爬到山上，一路爬到陡峭的山顶，正好看到日出。 “我以前爬过一次，”罗兹说，太阳的第一缕阳光温暖了她的身体。 “我就坐在这块岩石上，望着外面的小岛，心想我将永远孤独一人了。 但我错了。”“你幸福吗，妈妈？”机器人想了一会儿。 “我是。”

"I'm happy too." Brightbill closed his eyes and felt the wind and sun. There was a slight chill in the air that made him feel alive. Everything seemed just right. And then he heard a distant buzzing sound. The goose squinted to the south and saw a familiar shape in the sky. He turned to his mother and said, "Ma, there's an airship flying this way."

“我也很高兴。”布莱特比尔闭上眼睛，感受着风和太阳。 空气中有一丝寒意，使他觉得自己还活着。 一切似乎都很好。 就在这时，他听到远处传来一阵嗡嗡声。 母鹅眯着眼睛向南看，看到天空中有一个熟悉的身影。 他转身对妈妈说：“妈妈，有一艘飞艇朝这边飞。”
