Pins in the Map

Pins in the map.

地图上的图钉。

Here, Boots, Katie called outside her family's cottage. Her cat didn't come to her. I hope he's not in the motel, Katie thought to herself. She went into the motel's lobby.

“布茨，来这儿呀。”凯蒂在自家小屋外面喊道。 她的猫咪没有跑过来找她。 “希望他没跑到汽车旅馆里去。”凯蒂暗自想。 她走进了汽车旅馆的大堂。

Boots was sitting on a boy's lap. Boots, Katie scolded, you're not supposed to bother guests. I'm Sam, the boy smiled. Boots isn't bothering me at all. He looks like my cat at home, wherever that is. Sam's mouth turned down.

布茨正趴在一个男孩的腿上。 “布茨，”凯蒂责怪道，“你不该打扰客人的。” “我叫萨姆。”男孩笑了笑。 布茨一点都没打扰到我呀。 他长得跟我家的猫一模一样，哦，我也不知道我家现在算在哪啦。 萨姆撇了撇嘴。

I'm Katie. Are you visiting? Where do you live? Katie asked. I live here at your motel until my parents find a house, Sam replied. My mom will be working here in Grand Haven, so we have to relocate. We used to live in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

“我叫凯蒂。你是来玩的吗？你住在哪呀？”凯蒂问。“我暂时就住在你们家旅馆哦” “要住到我爸妈找到房子为止。”萨姆回答，“我妈妈要在格兰德港工作，” “所以我们得搬家。我们之前住在新墨西哥州的圣达菲。”

I know about relocating. I have moved from one location to another my whole life, Katie said, pointing to a big map of the United States on the wall. I've put pins in the spots where I've lived. Our motel guests stick in pins too.

“我可懂搬家啦，我从小到大搬了好多次家呢。”凯蒂指着墙上挂的美国大地图说道，“我在我住过的地方都插了图钉，我们旅馆的客人也会往上面插哦。”

Sam placed a pin in Santa Fe. First we lived in New York City, Katie pointed. We lived in a tiny apartment in a really tall building. What do you remember most about living there? asked Sam.

萨姆把一枚图钉插在了圣达菲的位置。 “最开始我们住在纽约市。”凯蒂指了指地图。 我们住在一栋很高的楼里的小公寓中。 “住在那里的时候你印象最深的是什么呀？”萨姆问。
