远在天边.lost and found
[Lost & Found]
Based on the book by Oliver Jeffers
It was an early autumn morning 在一个秋天的清早
just as the leaves were beginning to fall 就好像黄叶都开始降落
when an unexpected visitor arrived at a little town by the sea 在一个海边的小镇一个不速之客到来
and with him began a remarkable story. 他不平凡的故事也随之开始了
Elsewhere on this particular morning 在这个特别的早晨的其他地方
a small boy was getting up in much the same way that he always did 一个小男孩和平常一样起床
looking forward to his normal routine, in his usual way! 像平常一样开始他规律的日程
But today was going to be anything but ordinary! 可是今天将会变得不一样了
First impressions are a funny thing 第一印象是一个很搞笑的东西
and it's always wise to take a moment to consider this这总是需要你的智慧和时间去思考
when something new turns up on your doorstep.当某样新东西出现在你的门阶
To the boy this all seemed a bit worrisome.对于一个男孩来说这似乎太费解了
And yet he was not the sort of person而且出现的还不是人类
to ignore someone who might need his help去忽视某个可能需要你帮助的人
and in any case his curiosity tended to get the better of it 无论如何他的好奇心让他适应了
and this was so very curious!这真的十分有趣
And even so,虽然如此
an uninvited guest一个不速之客
could be a difficult situation at the best of times在最佳时刻会是一个困境
especially when some visitors just don't know特别是当一些客人自己并不知道
that they're already outstayed their welcome!他们已经不被欢迎了
And so in a tricky situation所以在一个棘手的状况下
it's best to follow all the correct procedures.最好还是走正常程序
But in this case there was really only one thing to do!可是现在这个情况只有一件事可以做
But it was a problem that would not be solved easily!可这是一个不容易解决的问题
Now, anyone could be forgiven when faced with such an uninvited problem现在，所以人面对这样没被邀请而来的问题去选择简单的解决方法都是可以被原谅的
for choosing the easy way out.
Then again some people just don't have it in them
to do anything other than the right thing
As the day unfolded the small boy began to realize
that helping this stranger find the way home
was a bigger problem than he had first thought!
And all this distraction was getting them nowhere
so the boy decided that some proper thinking was called for
(WHERE PENGUINS COME FROM)
(HOW TO GET TO THE SOUTH POLE)
So much for the best-laid plans
as too often a small voice is not heard in a wider world!
Yet when things aren't going quite the way they should,
it occurs to some that if something is worth doing
it's worth doing yourself...
A boat is a wondrous thing.
It carries with it all the possibilities
you can think of in this world
and with a little planning and a little daring
you can imagine all kinds of grand adventures!
And so the boy worked out an ambitious plan
to get his visitor back where he belonged;
but he never stopped to consider for a moment
just what his visitor was doing there in the first place!
Late into the night the small boy slept fitfully
for tomorrow he was going to try
to cross the ocean to the other side of the world.
Another beautiful morning
and all the preparations were in place.
And for those who cared to look
a little boat would be seen
setting out on a tremendous and uncertain journey...
The day gave way to night.
And just as things seemed to be working out well
they began to take a turn for the worse!
The very long way from shore,
small boat and both on board
were about to find out just what the sea could do
And there it flickered: The South Pole!
Finally the boy's work was done!
His task was complete!
It's harder than you think to say goodbye
to someone who's become part of your life...
especially when you haven't noticed it happening..
And so this particular farewell
is much harder than the boy imagined it would be;
for although a parting is always sad
an awkward one is even more so.
But you do what you have to do and just get on with things.
Suddenly the boy understood
that perhaps someone wasn't lost
but really is lonely
and maybe they weren't the only one...
It's all began with someone lost and someone found;
who is to say which was which?
There was a boy and there was a penguin,
strangers from opposite sides of the ocean.
And like the beginning of any friendship,
there's this remarkable story indeed!
