For a moment or two he sat there, face screwed up, arms gripping his knees. Then he looked up at the frightened Paul, a wry smile twisting the corners of his mouth. “It looks as if we are in a mess, doesn’t it?”
他在那兒坐了一兩分鐘，臉繃得緊緊的，雙手緊緊抱住膝蓋。然后他抬起頭來，看著受驚的保羅，嘴角扭曲著一絲苦笑?！翱雌饋砦覀兒孟褚粓F糟，不是嗎?”
Paul nodded, still unable to trust himself to speak. But Bill’s coolness soothed his nerves, and presently a thought struck him.
保羅點點頭，仍然不敢相信自己會說話。但是比爾的冷靜緩和了他的緊張情緒，他立刻想到了一個主意。
“That cabin back there!” he exclaimed. “If we could only manage to get that far—”
“后面那個小木屋!”他解釋道。“要是我們能走那么遠——”
“Good idea,” Bill agreed promptly. “I’m afraid I can’t walk it, but I might be able to crawl.”
“好主意，”比爾迅速達成。“恐怕我不能走，但我可能會爬?！?/div>
“Oh, I didn’t mean that. If we only had some way of fastening my skis together, you could lie down on I them and I could pull you.”
“哦，我不是那個意思。如果我們有辦法把我的滑雪板系在一起，你可以躺在上面，我可以拉你。”
A gleam of admiration flashed into the older boy’s eyes. “You have your nerve with you, old man,” he said. “Do you know how much I weigh?”
大男孩的眼里閃過一絲贊賞的光芒?！澳愫苡杏職?，老伙計，”他說。“你知道我有多重嗎？”
“That doesn’t matter,” was Paul’s reply. “It’s all down hill; it will not be so hard. Besides, we can’t stay here, or we’ll freeze.”
“那沒關系，”保羅如此回答。“一直都在走下坡路；所以不會那么難。此外，我們不能呆在這里，否則我們會凍僵的。”
