The little triangular space walled off by the sailcloth was a sixth bedroom, quite private and exclusive;
用帆布圍成墻的三角形空間里有六個房間，都是單間，非常私密；
and the big pile of beds on the dining-room floor was to be made up into seven bedrooms more between the tables,
起居室放著的那疊床可以供七間臥室使用，
after everybody had finished supper. Luckily for us we found a friend here,
待大家用過餐后，就在餐桌之間擺放，幸運的是我們在這兒找到一位朋友，
a man who has been from the beginning one of Colorado's chief pioneers;
此人是科羅拉多開拓者之一；
and who is never, even in the wildest wilderness, without resources of comfort.
即使在荒無人煙的僻壤，他也能自得其樂。
"You can't sleep here," he said. "I can do better for you than this." "Better!"
“在這兒你們根本無法入睡，”他說，“我卻能睡得香甜。”“那樣更好。”
He offered us luxury. How movable a thing is one's standard of comfort!
他向我們提供這兒難得一見的享受。世間最容易改變的事情莫過于一個人的舒適標準了！
A two-roomed pine shanty, board walls, board floors, board ceilings,
有兩間房子大的用松木搭建的木屋，木板墻，木地板，木頭隔墻，
board partitions not reaching to the roof, looked to us that night like a palace.
那個晚上我們覺得自己就像住在宮殿里。
To have been entertained at Windsor Castle would not have made us half so grateful. It was late before the "city" grew quiet;
對我們來說，溫莎城堡里的設施也不及這里的一半。“小城”安靜下來之前，天色已晚；
and, long after most of the lights were out, and most of the sounds had ceased,
在大多數燈光都熄了后很久，這里陷入一片寂靜，
I heard one solitary hammer in the distance, clink, clink, clink. I fell asleep listening to it.
只是遠處傳來一柄錘子錘擊的聲音，叮當，叮當，叮當。聽著聽著，我漸漸睡了。
