Neelam is no longer invisible.At night, Byam still dreamt of the past. Byam focused on the future.This was unfortunate, because Byam didn't know either. (Byam had grown tired of seafood.).
She didn't often tell Byam what was going through her head. Byam turned back, thinking to stop the storm.Before, Byam had always striven to break free from the bonds of earth. It was heaven's will that Byam should have failed the last time; 可是,如果比亚姆 在空中掠过时,目击者看到的是一条龙的话……. But if, as Byam flashed across the sky, a witness saw a dragon…. A herd of cows was grazing by the bank, as though they were waiting for Byam . If Byam wasn't becoming a dragon, it would not lower itself to imitation. 一听名字不就知道了吗,对不对?”比亚姆 说,“‘能实现一切愿望的宝珠。 It's in the name, isn't it?” said Byam .“'The jewel that grants all wishes.'”. When Byam squinted, it saw a group of little creatures on the western bank. 当莱斯利发现第一根白发时,为了让她感觉好受一点,比亚姆 也长了几根。 When Leslie found her first white hair, Byam grew a few too, to make her feel better. 比亚姆 还记得八百年来第一次从洞里钻出来那会儿心中的震惊。Byam remembered the shock of emerging from its cave for the first time in 800 years. 或者更确切地说,是梦见未来--比亚姆 从前曾经想象过的未来。 Or rather, it dreamt of the future- the future as Byam had envisioned it, once upon a time. 如今,比亚姆 对莱斯利的工作已经有了充分的了解,明白这意味着什么。 Byam had learned enough about Leslie's job by now to understand what this meant. 它的悲伤并没有消散--反倒比以往任何时候都离得更近,仿佛一张脸贴在比亚姆 自己的脸上。 Its grief did not fall away- it was closer than ever, a cheek laid against Byam 's own. 假如比亚姆 不能指望人类不存在,那它就要利用人类的存在来为自己谋利。 If Byam couldn't depend on the absence of humans, it would use their presence to its advantage. 你在那儿干什么?”比亚姆 开口道,但接下来,僧侣正在研读的那本书吸引住了它的目光。 What are you doing down there?” began Byam , but then the text the monk had been studying caught its eye. 从前,比亚姆 一直以为人类必定习惯了死亡,因为他们一直在经历死亡。 Before, Byam had always thought that humans must be used to dying, since they did it all the time. 既然天庭还没做好接受比亚姆 的准备,那任凭什么也改变不了这一点,无论它多么努力学道,或者何其渴望飞升。 If heaven wasn't ready to accept Byam , nothing could change that, no matter how diligently it studied or how much it longed to ascend. 比亚姆 不知现在是不是吃掉她的良机,但随后僧人转过身,递过来一扎纸。Byam wondered if this was a good moment to eat her, but then the monk turned and held out a sheaf of paper. 群山对比亚姆 仍然彬彬有礼,仿佛它仍有可能变成龙似的。 The mountains were still polite to Byam , as though there were still a chance it might ever become a dragon. 比亚姆 设法找到了一位懂得航海路线的僧人,他愿意干这种事来换取不被吃掉。Byam managed to find a monk who knew about shipping routes and was willing to dish in exchange for not being eaten. 她们把莱斯利的骨灰撒在了她第一次见到比亚姆 的山上,要不是因为这是莱斯利自己的主意,它会觉得这很自恋。 They scattered Leslie's ashes on the mountain where she had first seen Byam , which would have felt narcissistic if it hadn't been Leslie's own idea. 比亚姆 先吃了一头,然后又吃了一头,然后是第三头,每一次它都对自己说,这头牛吃完它就不吃了。Byam had one, and then another, and then a third, telling itself each time that this cow would be the last. 她回答起比亚姆的问题来就仿佛是种享受似的;而其他人总是明确表示巴不得比亚姆 赶紧滚蛋。 She answered Byam's questions as though she enjoyed them, whereas the others had always made it clear they couldn't wait for Byam to leave. 比亚姆 并不擅长区分不同的人,但这个人的脸在它的记忆中却是刻骨铭心。Byam was not good at distinguishing one human from another, but this particular human's face was branded in its memory.
