格尔达不得不再次休息，就在她坐的地方对面，她看到一只大乌鸦跳着穿过雪地向她走来。

Gerda was obliged to rest again, and just opposite the place where she sat, she saw a great crow e hopping across the snow toward her.

他站着看了她一会儿，然后摇了摇头说：“呱，呱；

he stood looking at her for some time, and then he wagged his head and said, “caw, caw;

你好，你好。”

good - day, good - day.”

他尽可能清楚地说出这些话，因为他想对小女孩表示友好；

he pronounced the words as plainly as he could, because he meant to be kind to the little girl;

然后他问她，在这广阔的世界里她独自一人要去哪里。

and then he asked her where she was going all alone in the wide world.

格尔达非常理解 “独自一人” 这个词，也知道它包含的意义。

the word alone Gerda understood very well, and knew how much it expressed.

于是她把自己的生活和冒险经历的整个故事都告诉了乌鸦，还问他是否见过小凯。

So then she told the crow the whole story of her life and adventures, and asked him if he had seen little Kay.

乌鸦非常严肃地点了点头，说：“也许我见过 —— 可能吧。”

the crow nodded his head very gravely, and said, “perhaps I have — it may be.”

“不！你真的这么认为吗？”

“No! do you think you have?”

小格尔达叫道，她亲吻着乌鸦，高兴得几乎把他抱得喘不过气来。

cried little Gerda, and she kissed the crow, and hugged him almost to death with joy.

“轻点，轻点，” 乌鸦说。

“Gently, gently,” said the crow.

“我想我知道。

“I believe I know.

我想可能是小凯；

I think it may be little Kay;

但他现在肯定因为公主而把你忘了。”

but he has certainly forgotten you by
