Odile and Ilya wanted to see the sunrise. At a quarter past five, they stood below Green Hill. It was still dark. The air was cold. They had bread and water in a bag.
奥黛尔和伊利亚想看日出。五点一刻,他们站在绿山脚下。天还是黑的,空气很冷。他们的包里有面包和水。
There were two paths. The short path was steep. It took thirty minutes. The long path was easy, but it took an hour.
有两条路。短的那条很陡,要走三十分钟。长的那条好走,但要走一个小时。
"The sun comes up at six," Odile said. "The long path is too slow."
“太阳六点升起,”奥黛尔说,“走长路太慢了。”
Ilya looked at the steep path. "It is dark, and the stones are big," he said.
伊利亚看了看那条陡路。“天这么黑,石头又那么大。”他说。
"I have a strong flashlight," Odile said. "We can see the stones."
“我有一支很亮的手电筒,”奥黛尔说,“我们能看清石头。”
"And my knees?" Ilya asked.
“那我的膝盖呢?”伊利亚问。
"Your knees are good today," she said. "You ran to the bus!"
“你的膝盖今天没问题,”她说,“你还跑着去赶公交车呢!”
Ilya laughed. "Okay. We take the short path."
伊利亚笑了。“好吧,我们走短路。”
They started to climb. The path was very steep. They stopped two times and drank water.
他们开始往上爬。路非常陡。他们停下来两次,喝了点水。
At the top, the sky was pink and orange. Odile looked at her phone. It was one minute before six.
到了山顶,天空是粉色和橙色的。奥黛尔看了看手机。离六点还差一分钟。
They sat down on a big rock. Then the sun came up over the hills.
他们坐在一块大石头上。然后,太阳从群山后面升了起来。
"Just in time," Ilya said.
“正好赶上,”伊利亚说。
