《The Lost Tourist》封面

Renata walks through the old town square every morning. She knows every street and shop in the area. Today she sees a man near the fountain. He looks at his phone, then looks up, confused.

雷娜塔每天早上都会穿过老城广场。这一带的每条街、每家店,她都熟悉。今天,她看见喷泉旁有一个男人。他看看手机,又抬起头来,一脸困惑。

"Excuse me," he says. "Can you help me? I can't find my hotel."

“打扰一下,”他说,“你能帮帮我吗?我找不到我住的旅馆了。”

"Of course," Renata says. "What's the name of your hotel?"

“当然可以,”雷娜塔说,“你的旅馆叫什么名字?”

"The Riverside Inn," Tobias says. "I don't know the way from here."

“河畔旅馆,”托拜厄斯说,“从这儿开始,我不知道该怎么走。”

Renata smiles. "I know that hotel well. It's not far from here."

雷娜塔笑了。“那家旅馆我很熟。离这儿不远。”

"Really? I walked around for twenty minutes," Tobias says.

“真的吗?我已经转了二十分钟了,”托拜厄斯说。

"This town is easy to get lost in," Renata says. "The streets turn in strange ways."

“这个小镇很容易迷路,”雷娜塔说,“街道拐来拐去,拐得很奇怪。”

"I noticed that," Tobias says with a small laugh. "My phone map doesn't work well here."

“我也发现了,”托拜厄斯轻轻笑了一声,说,“我手机上的地图在这儿不太好用。”

"Come with me," Renata says. "I walk past your hotel every day."

“跟我来吧,”雷娜塔说,“我每天都会经过你的旅馆。”

They walk together down a narrow street. Renata points to shops as they pass.

他们一起走进一条窄街。经过商店时,雷娜塔一一指给他看。

"That bakery makes the best bread in town," she says. "And that café has great coffee."

“那家面包店做的面包是镇上最好的,”她说,“那家咖啡馆的咖啡也很棒。”

Tobias listens carefully. "You know a lot about this town."

托拜厄斯认真地听着。“你对这个小镇了解得真多。”

"I grew up here," Renata says. "I know every corner of it."

“我从小就在这儿长大,”雷娜塔说,“每个角落我都熟。”

After a few minutes, they reach a big blue building. Renata points to the door.

几分钟后,他们来到一栋蓝色的大楼前。雷娜塔指了指门口。

"There it is," she says. "The Riverside Inn."

“就是这儿,”她说,“河畔旅馆。”

Tobias looks happy. "Thank you so much. I never find my way alone in new cities."

托拜厄斯很高兴。“太谢谢你了。到了陌生的城市,我从来都找不到路。”

"You're welcome," Renata says. "Enjoy your stay in our town."

“不客气,”雷娜塔说,“祝你在我们小镇玩得愉快。”

"I will," Tobias says. "Maybe I'll ask you for directions again tomorrow."

“会的,”托拜厄斯说,“说不定明天我还会向你问路呢。”

Renata laughs. "Anytime. I'm always near this square."

雷娜塔笑了。“随时欢迎。我总是在这个广场附近。”

She waves and walks on toward her office.

她挥挥手,继续朝办公室走去。
