Granny and Elsa are playing Monopoly. Granny doesn’t say anything about cancer, for Elsa’s sake. And Elsa doesn’t say anything about death, for Granny’s sake. Because Granny doesn’t like talking about death, especially not her own. So when Elsa’s mum and the doctors leave the room to talk in low, serious voices in the corridor, Elsa tries not to look worried. That doesn’t really work either.
外婆和爱莎在玩大富翁。为了爱莎，外婆没有提起癌症的事。而为了外婆，爱莎也没有提及任何关于死亡的话题。外婆不喜欢谈论死亡，尤其是她自己的死亡，所以当爱莎的妈妈和医生离开房间，在走廊里严肃地低声说话时，爱莎尽量让自己看上去不那么担忧。但这也没有什么用。
The room in the hospital smells as bad and feels as cold as hospital rooms tend to when it is barely above freezing outside and someone has hid beer bottles under her pillow and opened a window to try to get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke. It hasn’t worked.
医院的房间很难闻，室外接近零度时，屋里也会异常冷。有人把啤酒瓶藏到外婆的枕头底下，然后打开窗，试图让香烟味飘散出去，但并没有什么用。
Granny grins secretively.
外婆神秘兮兮地咧嘴一笑。
“Did I ever tell you about the time I fixed a job for the dragons in Miamas?” she asks in their secret language.
“我跟你说过，我帮密阿玛斯的巨龙搞定工作的那件事吗？”她用她们的秘密语言说道。
It’s good to have a secret language in the hospital, because hospitals have ears in their walls, says Granny. Especially when the walls have Elsa’s mum as their boss.
在医院能用某种秘密语言交流的感觉很棒，因为医院隔墙有耳，这是外婆说的。特别是这些墙的老板还是爱莎的妈妈。
Granny nods as a courtesy and tells the whole story anyway. Because no one ever taught Granny how not to tell a story. And Elsa listens, because no one ever taught her how not to.
外婆点点头表示知道了，然后又把整个故事重新说了一遍。从没有人教过外婆如何憋着，不把故事讲出来。爱莎也就又听了一遍，因为也没有人教过她如何忍着不去听故事。
“Duh — obviously!”
“呃…当然说过咯！”
That’s why she knows that one of the things people say about Granny most often when she’s not around is, “This time she’s really crossed the line.” Britt-Marie is always saying it. Elsa assumes this is why Granny likes the kingdom of Miamas so much: you can’t cross the line in Miamas, because the kingdom is endless. And not like on television when people toss their hair about and say that they “have no boundaries,” but properly, without any limits, because no one knows for certain where Miamas begins and ends. This is partly because unlike the other five kingdoms in the Land-of-Almost-Awake, which are mainly built of stone and mortar, Miamas is wholly made of imagination. It could also be slightly because the Miamas city wall has an insanely moody temperament and may suddenly one morning have the idea of moving itself a mile or two into the forest because it needs a bit of “me time.” Only to move twice as far back in the opposite direction the next morning, because it has decided to wall in some dragon or troll that for one reason or another it has decided to be grumpy with. (Usually because the dragon or the troll has been up all night drinking schnapps and weeing on the wall while sleeping, Granny suggests.)
爱莎知道人们经常在背后说外婆“这一次她真的‘越界’了”。布里特—玛丽总是这么说。爱莎估计这就是为什么外婆特别喜欢密阿玛斯王国的原因。在密阿玛斯，你没法越界，因为王国是无边无界的。不像电视里那些甩着头发说自己“无极限”的人，密阿玛斯是真的没有边界，没有人知道密阿玛斯从何处起始又到何处终止。其中一部分原因是，密阿玛斯不像不眠大陆的其他五个王国，主要用石头和泥土建造。密阿玛斯完全由想象造就。还有一小部分原因是，密阿玛斯的城墙性格非常暴躁，它会突然在某个早上想要一点儿“独处时光”，就把自己往森林里移动好几公里。而第二天早上，某头龙或者巨魔出于这样那样的原因惹到了它，它又会向相反方向移动两倍距离以进行包围。（通常原因是那头龙或巨魔整晚喝着杜松子酒，在城墙上睡觉的时候尿它身上了，外婆是这么猜测的。）
There are more trolls and dragons in Miamas than in any other of the five kingdoms in the Land-of-Almost-Awake, you see, because the main export industry in Miamas is fairy tales. Trolls and dragons have excellent employment prospects in Miamas because stories need villains. “Of course, it hasn’t always been like this,” Granny sometimes muses. “There was a time when the dragons had been almost forgotten by Miamas’s storytellers, particularly the ones who’d grown a little long in the tooth.” Then she recounts the whole story about how the dragons were causing too much trouble in Miamas, drifting about without jobs, drinking schnapps and smoking cigars and getting involved in violent confrontations with the city wall. So in the end the people of Miamas begged Granny to help them come up with some kind of practical job-creation scheme. And that’s when Granny had the idea that dragons should guard treasures at the ends of the tales.
密阿玛斯的巨魔和龙比不眠大陆的其他五个王国都要多，因为密阿玛斯的主要出口产业是童话故事，而故事总需要反派，所以巨魔和龙在密阿玛斯有非常光明的职业前景。“当然，并不是一开始就这样。”外婆有时候会自言自语地说，“曾经，龙几乎被密阿玛斯的故事讲述者们遗忘了，特别是那些牙齿长得太长的。”然后她会重新细述一遍整件事情：龙在密阿玛斯惹是生非，因为没有工作所以无所事事，到处流浪，喝着杜松子酒，抽着雪茄，和城墙起暴力冲突。于是密阿玛斯的人们请求外婆帮他们想一个可行的创造就业岗位的计划。就是那时，外婆想出了在故事的最后让龙来守卫宝藏的主意。
Up until that point, it had actually been a massive narrative problem, the fact that heroes in fairy tales looked for a treasure and, once they had located it in some deep cave, only had to nip inside to pick it up. Just like that. No epic closing battles or dramatic apexes or anything. “All you could do was play worthless video games afterwards,” Granny said, nodding somberly. Granny knows all about it, because last summer Elsa taught her how to play a game called World of Warcraft and Granny played it around the clock for several weeks until Mum said she was beginning to “exhibit disturbing tendencies” and banned her from sleeping in Elsa’s room from then on.
但由此产生一个很严重的情节问题：原先，童话故事中寻找宝藏的勇士一旦确定了宝藏的位置——某个深深的洞穴，只需要跑进去把它拿出来就行了，就这么简单。没有史诗般的决战或是戏剧化的高潮。“之后你能做的就是玩一局毫无意义的电脑游戏。”外婆阴沉地点着头说。她很了解电脑游戏，去年夏天爱莎教她玩了一个叫《魔兽世界》的游戏，外婆没日没夜地玩了好几周，直到妈妈说外婆已经开始“出现令人不安的倾向”，并从此以后严禁外婆睡在爱莎的房间。
One story was about the sea-angel, burdened by a curse that forced her to drift up and down the coast of the Land-of-Almost-Awake after losing her beloved. And another story was about the Chosen One, the most universally loved dancer in Mimovas, which is the kingdom all music comes from. In the fairy tale the shadows tried to abduct the Chosen One in order to destroy Mimovas, but the cloud animals saved him and flew him all the way back to Miamas. And when the shadows came after them, all the inhabitants of the six kingdoms of the Land-of-Almost-Awake — the princes, princesses, knights, soldiers, trolls, angels, and the witch — agreed to protect the Chosen One. And that was when the War-Without-End started. It raged for an eternity of ten thousand fairy tales, until the wurses and Wolfheart came out of the forest and led the good army into the last battle and forced the shadows back across the sea.
有一个故事说的是一位海天使，在失去了她爱的人之后，身负诅咒，被迫在不眠大陆的海岸边随波沉浮。还有一个故事关于天选之子——音乐发源地密莫瓦斯最受喜爱的舞者。暗影试图劫持天选之子，以此来摧毁密莫瓦斯，但云兽救了他并载着他一路飞回了密阿玛斯。在他们被暗影追击时，不眠大陆六大王国的所有居民——王子们、公主们、骑士们、士兵们、巨魔们、天使们和那个女巫——同意一起保护天选之子。这就是无尽战争的开端，它持续了“一万个童话永恒”，直到呜嘶和狼心从森林中出现，率领英勇的军队，投入最后一场战役，迫使暗影退回到海中。
But anyway, when the storytellers heard Granny’s idea the whole problem was solved in an afternoon. “And that’s why all fairy tales nowadays have dragons at the end! It’s my doing!” Granny chortles. Like she always does.
不管怎样，故事讲述者们听完外婆的主意后，所有问题在一个下午就全解决了。“这就是为什么现在童话故事的结尾都有龙！这都是我的功劳！”外婆哈哈大笑。她总是这个样子。
Granny has a story from Miamas for every situation. One of them is about Miploris, the kingdom where all sorrow is kept in storage, and its princess who was robbed of a magical treasure by an ugly witch whom she’s been hunting ever since. Another story is about two princeling brothers, both in love with the princess of Miploris, and practically breaking the Land-of-Almost-Awake into pieces in their furious battle for her love.
任何时候，外婆都能随口讲出一个密阿玛斯的故事，其中一个关于密普洛瑞斯——储存了所有悲伤的王国。王国的公主被一名丑陋的女巫夺走了一件神奇的宝物，自此以后，她就一直在追捕那名女巫。另一个故事讲述了两位王室兄弟，同时爱上了密普洛瑞斯的公主，两人为争夺她的爱情爆发了激烈的战争，几乎将不眠大陆分裂成了碎片。
Of course, Wolfheart is a whole fairy tale in his own right, because he was born in Miamas but just like all other soldiers he grew up in Mibatalos. He has a warrior’s heart but the soul of a storyteller, and he’s the most invincible fighter ever seen in any of the six kingdoms. He had been living deep in the dark forests for many eternities of fairy tales, but he came back when the Land-of-Almost-Awake needed him most.
当然，狼心仅凭自己的实力就能拥有一整个童话故事。他出生在密阿玛斯，但与其他士兵一样，在密巴塔洛斯长大。他拥有一颗战士的心和一个故事讲述者的灵魂。他是六个王国前所未有的无敌斗士。“许多童话永恒”的时间里，他居住在黑暗森林的深处，但是当不眠大陆最需要他的时候，他就回来了。
“Mmm, sure you did. Put it back.”
“呵呵，是吗？放回去！”
“Put ‘Pennsylvania Railroad’ back,” says Elsa tersely.
“把宾夕法尼亚铁路放回去。”爱莎不客气地说。
“I bought it…?” Granny tries.
“我买了它…？”外婆试图混淆视听。
“This is how it must have been playing bloody Monopoly with Hitler!”
“简直就是在跟该死的希特勒玩大富翁！”
Granny has been telling these fairy tales for as long as Elsa can remember. In the beginning they were only to make Elsa go to sleep, and to get her to practice Granny’s secret language, and a little because Granny is just about as nutty as a granny should be. But lately the stories have another dimension as well. Something Elsa can’t quite put her finger on.
从爱莎有记忆起，外婆就一直在讲述这些故事。起初她只是为了哄爱莎入睡，后来是为了让爱莎学习她的秘密语言，不过其中也有部分原因是外婆开始变得有点儿疯疯癫癫。然而那些故事还有另外一个目的。这个目的爱莎并不是特别明白。
“Hitler would only have wanted to play Risk,” mutters Elsa, because she’s checked out Hitler on Wikipedia, after there were some rows between her and Granny about her use of Hitler as a metaphor.
“希特勒只会想玩《大战役》[1]。”爱莎小声咕哝。她在维基百科上查过希特勒，因此外婆每次用希特勒做比喻，她们都会发生小争吵。【注：[1]一款以征服世界为目的的经典策略游戏。】
“Touché,” mutters Granny.
“也是。”外婆也嘟囔了一句。
And then they play in silence for about a minute. Because that is about the usual length of time they can be bothered to keep feuding.
随后，她们安静地玩了大约一分钟。这也是她们俩通常闹别扭的时间长度。
“Did you give the chocolate to Our Friend?” asks Granny.
“你把巧克力给‘我们的朋友’了吗？”外婆问。
Granny shrugs. “The usual way.”
外婆耸了耸肩。“就自然而然成了朋友啊。”
Elsa nods. But she doesn’t mention how she told it about Granny’s cancer. A little bit because she thinks Granny would be annoyed, and quite a bit because she doesn’t want to talk about cancer. She checked it on Wikipedia yesterday. And then she checked what a will is and then she was so angry that she couldn’t sleep all night.
爱莎点点头，但没有说自己告诉它外婆得了癌症的事。小部分原因是她觉得外婆会生气，但更多是因为她不想谈论癌症。她昨天在维基百科上查了，当明白什么是“遗嘱”之后，她非常生气，整晚都睡不着。
Elsa doesn’t know what the usual way is, because she has no friends other than Granny. But she doesn’t say anything, because she knows Granny would be upset if she heard that.
爱莎不知道人们一般是怎么交朋友的，因为她除了外婆以外并没有其他朋友。但她什么都没说，她知道，如果外婆听了会难过的。
“Anyway, the mission is done,” she says in a low voice.
“总而言之，任务完成。”她低声说。
“How did you and Our Friend become friends?” she asks instead.
“你和‘我们的朋友’是怎么变成朋友的？”爱莎扯开话题。
Granny nods keenly and throws a searching look at the door, as if concerned someone could be watching them. Then she reaches under her pillow. The bottles clink against each other and she swears when she spills some beer on the pillowcase, but then she hauls out an envelope and presses it into Elsa’s hand.
外婆使劲点头，鬼头鬼脑地朝门口望去，像是有人在监视她们。然后，她在自己的枕头下摸索了一阵。酒瓶发出碰撞声，她不小心洒了些啤酒在枕套上，骂了一句。最后她摸出一个信封，按在了爱莎的手里。
“A letter and a key,” says Granny. And then she looks both serious and frightened, both of which are very rare emotions in Granny. She reaches out and grabs hold of Elsa’s index fingers. “Tomorrow I’m going to send you out on the biggest treasure hunt you’ve ever seen, my brave little knight. Are you ready for that?”
“一封信和一把钥匙。”外婆说，看上去又严肃又害怕，这两种情绪很少在外婆身上出现。她伸出手抓住爱莎的食指。“明天，我要派你去完成一场前所未有的重大寻宝行动，我勇敢的小骑士。你准备好了吗？”
“This is your next mission, my knight Elsa. But you mustn’t open it until tomorrow.”
“这是下一个任务，我的爱莎骑士。但你明天才能打开它。”
“You can’t e-mail something this important.”
“不能用电子邮件发这么重要的东西。”
Elsa also loves treasure hunts, but not as much as Granny. No one in any kingdom in the eternity of ten thousand fairy tales could love them like she does. She can make anything into a treasure hunt: if they’ve been out shopping and Granny can’t remember where she parked Renault; or when she wants Elsa to go through her mail and pay her bills because Granny finds this insanely boring; or when there’s a sports day at school and Elsa knows the older children are going to lash her in the shower with rolled-up towels. Granny can make a parking area into magic mountains, and rolled-up towels into dragons that must be outsmarted. And Elsa is always the heroine.
爱莎也喜欢寻宝，但没外婆那么热衷。在“一万个童话永恒”的时间里，也没有哪个王国的人，能像外婆那样痴迷于寻宝。她能把任何事都变成寻宝活动：比如她们去购物，外婆记不得把雷诺停在哪里；或者她想让爱莎帮她查邮件付账单，因为她觉得这件事特别无聊；又或者学校有体育课，大孩子们会在浴室把毛巾卷起来抽打爱莎。这时，外婆能把停车场变成魔法山脉，把卷起来的毛巾变成必须智取的龙。而爱莎则一向是故事中的女英雄。
Elsa looks at the envelope skeptically. “Haven’t you heard of e-mail?”
爱莎怀疑地看看信封，“你没听过有样东西叫电子邮件吗？”
Elsa weighs the envelope in her hand, presses the lumpy bit at the bottom of it. “What is it?”
爱莎掂了掂手中信封的重量，捏着从里面突出来的边角。“是什么？”
Granny has always loved treasure hunts. In Miamas, treasure hunting is considered a sport. You can compete in it, because it’s an approved Olympic field event. But in Miamas it’s not called the Olympic Games, it’s actually known as the Invisible Games, because all the participants are invisible. Not exactly a spectator sport, as Elsa pointed out when Granny told her about it.
外婆一直很喜欢寻宝。在密阿玛斯，寻宝是一项被批准的奥林匹克赛事，你可以参与其中与他人比拼。只不过在密阿玛斯，人们不叫它“奥林匹克比赛”，而称它为“隐形大赛”，因为所有的参赛者都是隐形的。听完外婆的说明，爱莎指出这比赛可不太适合观众观看。
“What friends?”
“哪儿来的朋友？”
This sounds like a different kind of treasure hunt altogether, though.
这一次的寻宝游戏听上去完全不一样。
“The one who’s supposed to have the key will know what to do with it. You have to protect the castle, Elsa.”
“这把钥匙的主人会知道该用它做什么。你必须保护好城堡，爱莎。”
Granny puts her hands against Elsa’s cheeks and smiles. “They’ll come. Tomorrow I am sending you out on a treasure hunt, and it’s going to be a fairy tale of marvels and a grand adventure. And you have to promise not to hate me for it.”
外婆用手覆上爱莎的脸颊，微笑着说：“他们会来的。明天我要派你参加一场寻宝行动，那将是一个神奇的童话故事和一场伟大的冒险。你得发誓，别因此恨我。”
“Protect the castle, Elsa. Protect your family. Protect your friends!” Granny repeats determinedly.
“保护城堡，爱莎，保护你的家庭，保护你的朋友！”外婆坚定地重复道。
“I know loads of your worst sides!”
“我知道你许多糗事！”
Granny has always called their house “the castle.” Elsa always just thought it was because she’s a bit nutty. But now she’s not so sure.
外婆把他们的公寓楼称为“城堡”。爱莎总觉得外婆这是怪人说怪话，但现在她吃不准了。
Granny caresses her eyelids. “It’s a grandmother’s prerogative never to have to show her worst sides to her grandchild, Elsa. Never to have to talk about what she was like before she became a grandmother.”
外婆抚摸着她的眼皮：“外婆们有一项特权就是永远不让她的外孙女看见她最糟糕的一面，爱莎。她们永远不会说出，在变成一位外婆之前，自己是怎样的人。”
She’s hoping to make Granny laugh with that one. But it doesn’t work. Granny just whispers in a sad voice: “It’s going to be a grand adventure and a fairy tale of marvels. But it’s my fault that you’ll find a dragon at the end, my darling knight.”
她说这句话本意是想逗外婆笑，但没成功。外婆只是用悲伤的语气小声地说：“这将会是一场伟大的冒险和一个神奇的童话故事，而你会在结尾遇到一头龙，这都是我的错，我亲爱的骑士。”
Elsa blinks, and there’s a burning sensation. “Why would I hate you?”
爱莎眨眨眼，眼眶有点儿发热：“我为什么会恨你？”
Granny kisses her forehead. “Promise you won’t hate me when you find out who I’ve been. And promise me you’ll protect the castle. Protect your friends.”
外婆亲了亲她的额头。“答应我，当你知道了我的过去，不要恨我。也答应我，你会保护城堡，保护你的朋友们。”
“Give the letter to him who’s waiting. He won’t want to accept it, but tell him it’s from me. Tell him your granny sends her regards and says she’s sorry.”
“把这封信给那个等着它的人。他会不愿意收，但告诉他信是我给的。告诉他你的外婆向他问好并道歉。”
Elsa squints at her. Because she has never heard Granny talking like this. She always claims credit for the dragons at the end. It’s never her “fault.” Granny sits before her, tinier and more fragile than Elsa can remember ever having seen her. Not at all like a superhero.
爱莎眯着眼看着外婆。她从未听过外婆用这种语气说话。外婆一向只会对结尾的龙洋洋得意，绝不会说那是她的“错”。外婆坐在爱莎身前，看上去从未有过地瘦小和脆弱，完全不像一名超级英雄。
Elsa doesn’t know what any of this means, but she promises. And then Granny embraces her for longer than ever before.
爱莎不知道这意味着什么，但是她答应了。然后外婆拥抱了她，抱了很久很久。
And then she wipes the tears from Elsa’s cheeks. And Elsa points out that you’re supposed to say “to he who’s waiting,” not “him.” And they argue a bit about that, as usual. And then they play Monopoly and eat cinnamon buns and talk about who’d win a fight between Harry Potter and Spider-Man. Bloody pathetic discussion, of course, thinks Elsa. But Granny likes nattering on about these types of things because she’s too immature to understand that Harry Potter would have crushed Spider-Man.
她擦去爱莎脸颊上的眼泪。然后她们玩了大富翁，吃了肉桂卷，讨论了一下如果哈利·波特和蜘蛛侠打起来谁会赢。当然爱莎认为结果毋庸置疑，但外婆喜欢对这种事情瞎扯个没完，因为她太幼稚了，不明白哈利·波特会碾压蜘蛛侠。
“Are you really going to get well?” Elsa asks with the reluctance of an almost-eight-year-old asking a question to which she already knows she doesn’t want to know the answer.
“你真的会没事吗？”爱莎的语气很勉强，听上去像是问了一个她并不想知道答案的问题。
Granny gets out some more cinnamon buns from large paper bags under another pillow. Not that she has to hide the cinnamon buns from Elsa’s mum the way she has to hide the beer from Elsa’s mum, but she likes keeping them together because she likes eating them together. Beer and cinnamon buns is Granny’s favorite snack. Elsa recognizes the name of the bakery on the bags; Granny only eats cinnamon buns from that one bakery, because she says no one else knows how to make real Mirevas cinnamon buns. In fact, it’s the national dish of the Land-of-Almost-Awake. One very bad thing about it is that one can only have the national dish on the national day. But a very good thing about it is that in the Land-of-Almost-Awake, every day is the national day. As Granny likes to put it, “In the end the problem disappears, said the old lady who crapped in the sink.” Elsa hopes with all her might that this doesn’t mean Granny is going to start using the kitchen sink with the door left open.
外婆从另一个枕头下拿出一个大纸袋，里面有更多的肉桂卷。她倒是不必像藏啤酒那样把肉桂卷也藏起来，不让爱莎妈妈发现，她只是喜欢把这两样放在一起，因为她喜欢一块儿吃。啤酒和肉桂卷是外婆最喜欢的零食。爱莎认出了纸袋上的面包店名，外婆只吃这一家面包店的肉桂卷，她说别家都不知道怎么做正宗的密阿玛斯肉桂卷。事实上，这是不眠大陆的国菜。可惜的是，只有国庆日才能吃国菜，而幸运的是，在不眠大陆，每天都是国庆日。外婆的说法是：“问题终会消失，在水槽解手的老太太如是说。”爱莎诚心诚意地希望，这并不意味着外婆将要敞着门用厨房水槽解手。
And then Granny leans forward and whispers into her ear, in their secret language: “I promise, my beloved, beloved knight. I promise that it will get better. I promise that everything will be fine.”
外婆凑上前，用她们的秘密语言，在她的耳畔低语：“我发誓，我亲爱的、亲爱的骑士。我发誓会好的。一切都会没事的。”
“Promise,” Elsa insists.
“发誓。”爱莎坚持要求。
“Course I will!” Granny says with complete confidence, although she can see well enough that Elsa knows she’s lying.
“当然咯！”外婆充满自信地说，即使她看得出爱莎知道她在撒谎。
Because that is what Granny always says. That it will get better. That everything will be fine.
外婆总是将这句话挂在嘴边，一切都会好的，一切都会没事的。
“But I still think that Spider-Man fellow would have wiped the floor with this Harry,” Granny adds with a grin. And, in the end, Elsa grins back at her.
“但我还是觉得，那个叫蜘蛛侠的能把哈利·波特干翻。”外婆咧嘴笑着补充。最后，爱莎回给了她一个笑容。
They eat more cinnamon buns and play more Monopoly. And this makes it much more difficult to stay grumpy.
她们吃了更多的肉桂卷，玩了更长时间的大富翁。这让人很难再继续暴躁下去。
The sun goes down. Everything goes silent. Elsa lies very close to Granny in the narrow hospital bed. And they mainly just close their eyes, and the cloud animals come to fetch them, and they go to Miamas together.
太阳落山，四周安静了下来。在窄窄的病床上，爱莎紧挨着外婆躺着。刚闭上眼，云兽就来找她们了，她们一起去了密阿玛斯。
And when the morning light seeps into the hospital room, Elsa wakes up in Granny’s arms. But Granny is still in Miamas.
当早晨的阳光洒进医院病房时，爱莎在外婆的怀中醒来。但外婆留在了密阿玛斯。
And in an apartment block on the other side of town, everyone wakes up with a start when the hound in the first-floor flat, without any warning, starts howling. Louder and more heartrendingly than anything they have ever heard coming out of the primal depths of any animal. As if it is singing with the sorrow and yearning of an eternity of ten thousand fairy tales. It howls for hours, all through the night, until dawn.
而在小镇另一头的一片住宅区，所有人都被二楼公寓里一条猎犬毫无预兆、突然爆发的叫声惊醒。那么响，那么揪心，他们从未听过动物从本能深处发出的这种号叫声。仿佛它在哀唱，在“一万个童话永恒”的时间里嘶吼。它长嚎了几个小时，从黑夜直到黎明。
