Chapter 5

5 Into the Woods Rosa was always amazed by her grandma's sense of direction - she knew Big Sky Mountain so well that she didn't need a map to find her way. Even so, Rosa realised she needed to learn the route herself. They climbed the gentle slope out of the valley, and Rosa took note of anything memorable. There was the

罗莎总是对奶奶的方向感感到惊讶——她对大天山了如指掌，甚至不需要地图就能找到路。 即便如此，罗莎意识到她需要自己学习路线。 他们沿着平缓的斜坡爬出了山谷，罗莎记下了所有值得纪念的事情。 有。

gigantic pine tree, with a trunk so wide it took ten paces to walk round. Then there was the wide moss-flecked rock that was shaped like a heart, and you could sit in its middle like an armchair. And at the top of the rocky slope that flattened out towards the forest was a spring: a source of the purest water. It burbled out of a patch of gravelly ground like magic, meandering down the slope towards the lake.

一棵巨大的松树，树干很宽，绕一圈要走十步。 然后是一块宽大的、布满青苔的石头，形状像一颗心，你可以像扶手椅一样坐在石头中间。 在朝向森林的岩石斜坡的顶端有一个泉水，是最纯净的水源。 它像魔法一样从一块砾石地上冒出来，沿着斜坡蜿蜒而下，朝着湖边走去。

Rosa made sure she could join up these points in her mind, knowing that they might one day guide her back to safety and the cabin. 'It's good to be out here again,' said Nan, striding along with her walking stick. She hadn't visited this part of the mountain in years, and she was in her element. Nan enjoyed the view of the open mountain as much as the effort in climbing it, and Rosa was learning to feel the same. From high up above the lake she had a much better understanding of the land.

罗莎确信她能在脑海中把这些点联系起来，知道有一天它们会指引她回到安全的小屋。 “又来到这里真好，”南说着，拄着拐杖大步走着。 她已经很多年没来过这片山了，她感到很自在。 南喜欢开阔的山的景色，也喜欢攀登的过程，罗莎也学着有同样的感觉。 从湖上的高处，她对这片土地有了更好的了解。

'Your cabin looks so small from here,' said Rosa. 'And the world so big!' said Nan. 'Imagine you were our little friend here. How huge it must seem to her!' Rosa agreed. The little wolf had followed them happily all the way, but it must be such a shame to only ever see things from the ground, thought Rosa. "Would you like to see the view?" she asked. The cub nudged her leg, and Rosa lifted her up so that she, too, could enjoy the sight. Rosa loved the wolf's company, yet something didn't feel quite right. 'I still don't know what to call you,' said Rosa, returning her to the ground.

“从这儿看你的小屋真小，”罗莎说。 “世界这么大！”南说。 “想象你是我们的小朋友。 在她看来，这是多么巨大啊！”罗莎同意了。 小狼一路上都很高兴地跟着他们，但是只能从地面上看东西，这一定很可惜，罗莎想。 “你想看看风景吗？”她问。 幼崽轻轻地推了推她的腿，罗莎把她抱起来，这样她也能欣赏到眼前的景色。 罗莎喜欢狼的陪伴，但总觉得有些不对劲。 “我还是不知道该怎么称呼你，”罗莎说着，把她送回了地上。

'Maybe she already has a name,' said Nan. 'Ask her.' 'What's your name?' asked Rosa, kneeling down. She scoured the ground for a stick and picked it up. 'I'd love to play,' chuckled Rosa, 'but I don't think you understand. She pointed to herself. 'My name is Rosa. What is yours?' The wolf nodded, dropped the stick and then picked it up again. 'I think she understands very well,' said Nan. 'She's trying to tell you something.' 'What? Stick?' said Rosa. 'That's your name?'

“也许她已经有名字了，”南说。 ”问她。“你叫什么名字？”罗莎跪下来问道。 她在地上搜寻一根棍子，把它捡了起来。 “我很想玩，”罗莎轻声笑着说，“但我觉得你不明白。 她指了指自己。“我叫罗莎。 你的呢？”狼点点头，把树枝放下，然后又捡起来。 “我认为她理解得很好，”南说。 “她想告诉你一些事情。“什么? 坚持吗?罗莎说。“这就是你的名字？”
