The Lapp moves about in this way because of a very useful animal that God has given him, called the reindeer.

拉普人之所以经常搬迁是因为他们有一种很有用的动物，叫驯鹿。

Os-Anders the Lapp, coming by with his dog, brought news that folk in the village had cut their corn already, for fodder.

拉普人奥斯安德斯 (Os-Anders the Lapp) 带着他的狗经过， 带来了消息， 村里的人们已经收割了玉米作为饲料。

A Lapp had passed that way one day and said how fine their potatoes were up there; it was much worse, he said, down in the village.

有一天，一个拉普人从那里经过， 说他们的土豆在上面有多好； 他说，在村子里，情况更糟。

Then came the first stranger passing, a nomad Lapp; at sight of the goats, he knew that this was a man who had come to stay, and spoke to him.

然后是第一个路过的陌生人，一个游牧的拉普人。他一看到山羊，就知道这是一个来留下来的人，就和他说话了。

Now and again the monotony of the wilderness was broken by the sight of a passing Lapp, or by something happening to one of the animals on the place, then all would be as before.

不时地，荒野的单调被路过的拉普人的视线打破，或者被当地的一只动物发生了什么事打破，然后一切都会像以前一样。

And then she came—a big, brown-eyed girl, full-built and coarse, with good, heavy hands, and rough hide brogues on her feet as if she had been a Lapp, and a calfskin bag slung from her shoulders.

然后她来了——一个大个子、棕色眼睛的女孩， 身材丰满，粗犷，有一双结实的手， 脚上穿着粗糙的牛皮布洛克鞋， 仿佛她是拉普人， 肩上挎着一个小牛皮包。

When the reindeer dies, or is killed, his warm skin makes a coat or rug, or whatever garment the Lapp chooses to have; so that he may be said to clothe, as well as to feed, his master.

驯鹿老死或被杀死后，它们温暖毛皮被用来制作大衣或毯子，或其他任何他们想要的衣物；所以，驯鹿既能当拉普人的食物，也能用作做衣服。

Afterward, some beast or other, following the faint tracks over marsh and moorland, wearing them deeper; after these again some Lapp gained scent of the path, and took that way from field to field, looking to his reindeer.

在这些之后， 一些拉普人又闻到了这条路的气味， 并沿着这条路从一个田地走到另一个田地， 看着他的驯鹿。
