《The Phone That Died on the Trail》封面

Tavian and Perrin hike up to a popular viewpoint every summer. Today, they use Tavian's phone for directions. About halfway up, Tavian checks his phone. The screen stays black, and nothing happens.

塔维安和佩林每年夏天都会爬到一处热门的观景点。今天,他们用塔维安的手机导航。爬到半路时,塔维安查看手机。屏幕一片漆黑,毫无反应。

"My phone is dead," Tavian says. "I forgot to charge it last night." Perrin stops walking and looks at him.

“我的手机没电了,”塔维安说,“我昨晚忘了充电。”佩林停下脚步,看着他。

"Don't worry," Perrin says. "I brought the paper map, just in case." She pulls a folded map from her backpack.

“别担心,”佩林说,“我带了纸质地图,以防万一。”她从背包里拿出一张折起来的地图。

"You actually brought that old thing?" Tavian asks, surprised. "I always bring it," Perrin says. "Phones die sometimes."

“你居然真的带了那个老古董?”塔维安惊讶地问。“我一直都带着,”佩林说,“手机有时候会没电。”

They open the map together and find their location. Perrin traces the trail with her finger. "We're close," she says. "The viewpoint is just past this bend."

他们一起展开地图,找到了自己的位置。佩林用手指沿着步道比划。“我们快到了,”她说,“观景点就在这个弯的前面。”

They fold the map and continue walking. Ten minutes later, they reach the viewpoint. The valley spreads out below them, green and quiet.

他们把地图折好,继续往前走。十分钟后,他们到达了观景点。山谷在他们脚下铺展开来,一片青翠,宁静无声。

Tavian looks at Perrin and smiles. "Thanks for bringing that old map," he says. They sit down together and rest.

塔维安看着佩林,笑了。“谢谢你带了那张旧地图,”他说。他们并肩坐下来休息。
