Chapter 12

12 The Landslide They raced on, following the little owl overhead until they reached a line of fallen trees at the edge of a cliff. 'Blow my trumpet, it's a landslide,' said Nan. 'This must have been what we heard the other day when the ground shook!' said Rosa. A huge wall of earth had ripped

他们追着头顶上的小猫头鹰继续飞奔，直到来到悬崖边上一排倒下的树前。 南说，吹响我的号角吧，这是压倒性的胜利。 “这一定是那天大地震动时我们听到的声音！”罗莎说。 一堵巨大的土墙裂开了

downwards through the forested slopes of the hills. Trees were toppled and discarded like twigs in a pond, and rocks had been dumped hundreds of metres lower down. 'All that rain must have dislodged the earth, said Nan, surveying the devastation. Rosa had learnt a lot about the mountain, but the sheer power of nature still surprised her. Things could completely change in seconds. Little Pig flew over the broken ground and swooped over a rock in the middle of the landslide. He screeched, and flew back up into the air. 'Wait, Grandma Nan,' Rosa said. 'Out there!' Nan dug deep in her pocket and

向下穿过森林覆盖的山坡。 树木被推倒，像池塘里的小树枝一样被丢弃，岩石被扔到几百米深的地方。 南打量着毁坏的情况说，雨水一定把泥土冲走了。 罗莎对这座山已经了解了很多，但大自然的力量仍然让她感到惊讶。 事情可能在几秒钟内完全改变。 小猪飞过破碎的地面，飞过滑坡中间的一块岩石。 他尖叫一声，又飞回了空中。 “等等，南奶奶，”罗莎说。 “出去!”南在口袋里深挖，然后

retrieved her telescope. 'It's Stick!' she cried, peering through it. 'We've found her!' 'Is she all right?' asked Rosa. Nan passed the telescope over. Rosa thought Stick's whole body sagged with sadness. She was asleep, her ears pegged back, and she clutched a red cloth in her mouth. Rosa shoved the telescope back into Nan's hand and attempted to clamber down the cliff. Nan grabbed her arm to stop her. 'What are you thinking?' she cried. 'It isn't safe!' 'What do you mean, not safe?' Rosa replied. 'Stick's out there!' 'This was a landslide,' said Nan. 'The

拿回她的望远镜。这是坚持!她叫道，透过窗子往外看。 “我们找到她了！”“她没事吧？”罗莎问。 南把望远镜递了过去。 罗莎认为斯蒂克的整个身体都因悲伤而萎靡不振。 她睡着了，耳朵贴在后面，嘴里叼着一块红布。 罗莎把望远镜塞回南的手里，试图爬下悬崖。 南抓住她的胳膊阻止她。 “你在想什么？”她叫道。 “不安全！”“你说不安全是什么意思？”罗莎答道。 “棒在外面！”南说：“这是压倒性的胜利。” ”

ground might give way at any point.' Rosa huffed. It didn't look that dangerous to her, but she dug her foot into the earth and it crumbled beneath her, sending a trickle of tiny rocks downhill. 'Oh...' she said, as Nan pulled her up. Tori burst through the woods, followed soon after by Higgs. The hedgehog was carrying lots of wood gear - he'd come ready for action. 'Have you found her?' asked Tori. 'She's trapped out on that rock,' said

地面随时都可能塌陷。”罗莎怒喝道。 在她看来，这并没有那么危险，但她把脚伸进泥土里，泥土在她脚下碎了，细细的小岩石顺着山坡流下来。 “哦…当南把她拉上来时，她说。 托丽冲进树林，希格斯紧随其后。 这只刺猬带着许多木制装备——他是准备行动的。 “你找到她了吗？”托丽问。 “她被困在外面的岩石上了。

Nan. 'I don't know what led her here.' Tori's eyes widened and she sniffed the ground. 'It smells of wolves.' 'There are others?' said Rosa. 'Many,' said Tori. 'Or there were.' The realisation of what Tori had said sat heavily on Rosa's mind. 'Do you think Stick's pack were here when the storm hit?' she asked. Tori's grave silence answered her question. Rosa thrust her fists on to her hips. 'Then how are we getting Stick back?' 'We need a rope,' said Nan. 'Don't look any further!' said Higgs, holding one aloft. 'What do you want it for?'

南。“我不知道是什么把她引到这儿来的。”托丽睁大了眼睛，用鼻子嗅了嗅地面。 “有狼的味道。“还有别的吗？”罗莎说。 “很多，”托丽说。“或者有。”意识到托丽所说的话，罗莎的脑海里充满了沉重的负担。 “你认为暴风雨来袭时，斯提克的旅行团在这里吗？”她问。 托丽严肃的沉默回答了她的问题。 罗莎把拳头塞到屁股上。 “那我们怎么把棍子弄回来呢？”“我们需要一根绳子，”南说。 “别再看了！”希格斯说着，高举着一张。 “你要它干什么？”
