Chapter 4

4 Florence It was an uncomfortable night.Rosa quickly got over sharing a bed with her grandma, but because of her very loud snoring she couldn't sleep-and the eerie howls of wolves somewhere outside kept her eyes locked open and sent shivers down her spine. Twice she got up to check that the incredibly thick cabin door was locked,

这是一个不舒服的夜晚。罗莎很快就从和奶奶同床共枕的阴影中恢复过来了，但由于她的鼾声太大，她无法入睡——外面传来的可怕的狼嚎让她睁大眼睛，脊背发冷。 她两次起身检查那扇厚得令人难以置信的舱门是否锁上了，

just to be sure,and twice she found it was. Yet at no point in all of Rosa's shuffling about in the dark and bumping into chairs and tables did Grandma Nan wake up. Only the occasional hoot and screech which Rosa thought must belong to Little Pig-made her feel more comfortable. If that tiny owl could survive out in the wilderness, with wolves running wild,so could she. When the sun's golden glow finally pierced the windowpane and cut a beam through the cabin, Rosa felt even more tired than she had before going to bed. She scraped away the sleep from her eyes as Grandma Nan rolled over and sat up on the edge of the bed, her feet falling precisely into her shoes. Nan's fingers then

为了万无一失，她两次都发现是。 然而，罗莎在黑暗中拖着脚走来走去，撞在椅子和桌子上，南奶奶一点也没有醒来。 只有偶尔的叫声和尖叫，罗莎以为是小猪的，才使她感到舒服些。 如果那只小猫头鹰能在狼群横行的荒野中生存下来，她也能。 当金灿灿的阳光终于穿透窗玻璃，穿过小屋时，罗莎感到比睡觉前更累了。 奶奶翻了个身，在床边坐了起来，她的脚正好落在鞋子里，这时她把睡意从眼睛里抹去。 南的手指

dropped down exactly on the spot where she'd stored her glasses the previous night, and she slotted them on to her nose. 'Looks like a day for an adventure,' she said, stretching her arms out wide.She rubbed Rosa firmly on the shoulder.' Rise and shine,my girl, we have a mountain to climb!' After a breakfast of pancakes and freshly picked berries, they headed out towards the lake. The morning was crisp and fresh,and after yesterday's storm the air was beautifully rich with smells.

她正好落在前一天晚上放眼镜的地方，然后把眼镜戴在鼻子上。 “看起来是个适合冒险的日子，”她说着，张开双臂。她紧紧地揉着罗莎的肩膀。起床吧，我的姑娘，我们还有一座山要爬呢！”早餐吃完煎饼和新鲜采摘的浆果后，他们向湖边走去。 早晨清爽，昨天的暴风雨过后，空气中充满了美妙的气味。

'Here she is!'said Nan, throwing her backpack into a long red canoe. 'Who?' said Rosa. 'Florence'said Nan.'My trusty old canoe. Here, grab hold-' Grandma Nan passed Rosa the oar, who looked at it as though it was the most ridiculous item she'd ever seen. 'And you want me to row?' said Rosa. 'T'm going to make a mountain girl out of you, that's for sure,' said Nan. 'But I don't know how to row,' said Rosa. 'Oh,in you get!' said Nan. 'Just because you've never done something, doesn't mean you won't be any good at it.' Rosa looked uncertain.

“她来了！”南说着，把她的背包扔进了一条长长的红色独木舟。 “谁?罗莎说。“佛罗伦萨'said Nan。“我那可靠的旧独木舟。 喏，抓紧——”南奶奶把桨递给罗莎，罗莎看着它，仿佛这是她见过的最可笑的东西。 “你想让我划船？”罗莎说。 “我要把你变成一个山女，这是肯定的，”南说。 “可我不会划船，”罗莎说。 “哦，你进去吧！”南说。 “仅仅因为你从未做过某件事，并不意味着你不会擅长它。”罗莎看起来不太确定。

'Will everything be all right here, though?' she asked. 'I could stay to keep watch?' 'Don't be ridiculous, girl. I've got my own burglar alarm,' said Nan. Nan called back to the cabin.' Keep watch, Little Pig! ' The owl hooted a reply and Nan slid the red canoe into the water. She held it while Rosa clambered in, then pushed it gently and threw herself inside. The canoe bobbed and dipped, eventually righting itself on the lake. A spray of ice-cold water hit Rosa in the face. 'It's freezing,' spluttered Rosa. 'Don't I know it,' said Nan. 'If we tip over out here, chances are the water will finish

“这儿一切都会好吗？”她问。 “我可以留下来值班吗？”“别傻了，姑娘。” “我有自己的防盗报警器，”南说。 南朝小屋喊道。看好点，小猪！”猫头鹰叫着回答，南把红色的独木舟滑进了水里。 她拿着它，罗莎爬了进去，然后轻轻地推了推，自己也爬了进去。 独木舟忽上忽下，终于在湖面上站稳了。 一股冰水喷在罗莎脸上。 “冷死了。”罗莎气急不接下气地说。 “难道我不知道吗？”南说。 “如果我们在这里翻了，水很可能会流完
