Ezra and his dad Colin have planned this camping trip for months. They've promised themselves a weekend completely off their phones, except for the hiking app that tracks their route. The plan seems foolproof. Then, halfway up the mountain, Colin's phone suddenly dies, taking the map app down with it.
以斯拉和他爸爸科林为这次露营计划了好几个月。他们答应自己，这个周末完全不碰手机，只用那个记录路线的徒步应用。计划看起来万无一失。可是爬到半山腰，科林的手机突然没电了，地图应用也跟着一起没了。
"I thought I charged it this morning," Colin mutters, shaking the phone as if that might help.
“我还以为今天早上充过电了呢，”科林嘟囔着，晃了晃手机，好像这样就能管用似的。
Ezra checks his own phone, but it's already down to eight percent. Neither of them thought to bring a portable charger. Without the app, they have only a vague memory of the trail. There's also the old paper map, sitting unused in the bottom of Ezra's backpack since they left home.
以斯拉看了看自己的手机，电量已经只剩百分之八。他们谁也没想到要带充电宝。没有了应用，他们对山路只有模糊的印象。还有一张旧的纸质地图，从离家那天起就一直没动过，躺在以斯拉背包的最底下。
"Good thing you insisted on bringing that old thing," Colin says. He sounds more relieved than he probably wants to admit.
“幸好你坚持要带上那个老古董，”科林说。他听起来比自己愿意承认的要松了更大一口气。
They spread the map across a flat rock and try to match it to the landmarks around them. There's a fork in the trail, a ridge shaped like a saddle, and a lone dead tree. It takes a while, since neither of them has used a paper map in years. But slowly, the picture starts to make sense.
他们把地图铺在一块平整的岩石上，试着把它和周围的地标对起来。有一个岔路口，有一道形状像马鞍的山脊，还有一棵孤零零的枯树。这花了好一阵子，因为他们俩已经好多年没用过纸质地图了。不过慢慢地，图上的景象开始清楚起来。
Just as they get moving again, the sky darkens, and a light rain begins to fall. Ezra pulls his jacket tighter and glances at his dad. "Should we look for shelter?"
就在他们重新上路的时候，天色暗了下来，下起了小雨。以斯拉把外套裹紧了些，看了看爸爸。“我们要不要找个地方躲雨？”
Colin studies the map for a moment. "There's a rock overhang marked about ten minutes from here. Let's head there and wait it out."
科林对着地图看了一会儿。“图上标着离这儿大约十分钟的地方有个岩石凸檐。我们去那儿等雨停吧。”
They reach it just as the rain grows heavier, ducking under the stone ledge with their bags. For twenty minutes, they sit together, watching the rain and eating the snacks they'd packed for later.
他们到的时候，雨正好下大了，两人带着背包钻到了石檐下面。接下来二十分钟，他们并肩坐着，看着雨，吃着原本留到以后的零食。
"You know," Colin says eventually, "I think I actually prefer this to staring at a screen."
“你知道吗，”科林过了一会儿说，“我觉得我其实更喜欢这样，而不是盯着屏幕。”
Ezra laughs, folding the damp map carefully. "Let's just remember to bring a real compass next time, too."
以斯拉笑了，小心地把潮湿的地图折好。“那我们下次也别忘了带个真正的指南针。”
