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?

他在哪里还能再找到它们呢？在那古老的山谷里，只要去寻，是否仍能寻得？

With the thought came a great yearning for home.

随着这个念头，一股强烈的思乡之情涌上心头。

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

他住过许多地方，但此刻才意识到，自己从未把其中任何一处当作家。

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

这个称呼，在不知不觉中，一直被神圣地留给了他出生的那条面朝大海、绵长青翠的幽谷。

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

于是他回来了，被一种无法抗拒的思念牵引着。

But at the last he felt afraid.

但到了最后，他却害怕了。

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

一定发生了许多变化，这一点他很肯定。

Would it still be home?

那里还会是家吗？

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

如果不是，那份失去岂不是最无可挽回、最苦涩的吗？
