Audiobook Dictation: “Where might he find them again…”

Where might he find them again? Were they yet to be had for the seeking in the old valley?

他在哪裡還能再找到它們呢？在那古老的山谷裡，只要去尋，是否仍能尋得？

With the thought came a great yearning for home.

隨著這個念頭，一股強烈的思鄉之情湧上心頭。

He had had many habitations, but he realized now that he had never thought of any of these places as home.

他住過許多地方，但此刻才意識到，自己從未把其中任何一處當作家。

That name had all unconsciously been kept sacred to the long, green, seaward-looking glen where he had been born.

這個稱呼，在不知不覺中，一直被神聖地留給了他出生的那條面朝大海、綿長青翠的幽谷。

So he had come back to it, drawn by a longing not to be resisted.

於是他回來了，被一種無法抗拒的思念牽引著。

But at the last he felt afraid.

但到了最後，他卻害怕了。

There had been many changes, of that he felt sure.

一定發生了許多變化，這一點他很肯定。

Would it still be home?

那裡還會是家嗎？

And if not, would not the loss be most irreparable and bitter?

如果不是，那份失去豈不是最無可挽回、最苦澀的嗎？
