The next morning, Robyn packed her bags and left the farm. She felt very miserable. Now she would never get her camels. This was the end of her adventure. She knew that Kurt had made her leave the farm so that he would not have to give her the camels. He was mean, as well as lazy and cruel.
第二天一早,萝宾收拾行囊离开了饲养场。她难受极了。现在她再也没法儿得到骆驼了。她的冒险就此结束。她明白了,库尔特是故意要把她从饲养场赶走,为的就是不用给她骆驼。他真是一个卑鄙、懒惰又残忍的人。
Just when Robyn was feeling that she would have to go back to Adelaide, Sallay Mahomet came back into her life. He had heard about Robyn's problems at the Posel farm, and he felt very sorry for her. “Come and work for me for two months and I'll give you two of my wild camels,” he told her. Robyn almost kissed the old gentleman, but she decided to kiss Diggity instead. She was in business again.
就在萝宾以为自己不得不回阿德莱德去的时候,萨里·穆罕默德又出现了。他已经听说了萝宾在波塞尔饲养场遇到的麻烦,并对萝宾的遭遇深表同情。他对萝宾说：“来给我工作两个月吧,我会送你两头野骆驼。”萝宾激动得差点儿要亲吻这位年长的绅士了,不过她最终亲的却是蒂吉。她又可以为自己的梦想努力了。
During the next two months, Sallay taught her a lot about camels. She learnt how to repair saddles, how to use ropes, how to tie up a camel and many other things. Everything Robyn learnt would be extremely useful to her when she was alone in the bush. Sallay was much kinder than Kurt, too.
在接下来的两个月里,萨里教了她很多有关骆驼的知识。她学会了如何修理鞍具,如何使用绳索,如何拴骆驼,还学会了很多别的东西。萝宾学到的每一样东西都对她以后独自在荒野生活非常有用。此外,萨里比库尔特善良多了。
The day finally arrived when Sallay gave her the two camels he had promised. They were Alcoota Kate, an older, very strong camel, and Zeleika, a beautiful young one. She would have to train them, but now at last she had her own camels. As she led them off Sallay's farm one lovely Australian morning, Robyn felt very happy and very proud.
这一天终于来到了,萨里按照承诺给了她两头骆驼。其中一头是体格健壮的老骆驼阿尔科塔·凯特,另一头是年轻漂亮的泽雷卡。她还得驯养它们,但她总算是有了属于自己的骆驼。在澳大利亚一个美丽的清晨,萝宾高兴而自豪地牵着它们离开了萨里的饲养场。
