Today, we're going to tap into your creativity and storytelling abilities.

今天，我們要挖掘你的創造力和講故事的能力。

I have a flash card here with a captivating image.

我這裡有一張閃存卡，上面有一幅迷人的圖片。

What do you see? Wow, it's like a magical forest with animals that look… wise?

你看到了什麼？哇，這就像一個神奇的森林，裡面的動物看起來......聰明嗎？

There's a huge tree with lanterns, an owl, deer, and foxes.

一棵巨大的樹上掛著燈籠、貓頭鷹、鹿和狐狸。

現在，讓我們從場景設置開始。

Can you describe where this might be and perhaps give this place a name? Hmm, it looks like a secret meeting place for animals, right in the heart of an ancient forest.

您能描述一下這可能是什麼地方嗎，或許能給這個地方起個名字？嗯，它看起來像是動物們的祕密聚會場所，就在古老森林的中心。

Now imagine you're an animal attending this gathering.

現在想象一下，你是一隻參加這次聚會的動物。

Which animal would you be and why? I think I'd be the owl, sitting in the tree.

你會是哪種動物，為什麼？我想我會是貓頭鷹，坐在樹上。

Owls are smart, and I like to think I'm smart too.

貓頭鷹很聰明，我想我也很聰明。

Plus, they can see everything from up there. A wise choice indeed, Sarah.

另外，他們在上面可以看到一切。確實是個明智的選擇，莎拉

As the owl, what do you think is the reason for this gathering in Whisperwood? Maybe they're celebrating something.

作為貓頭鷹，你認為這次在低語林聚會的原因是什麼？也許他們在慶祝什麼

Or, oh, maybe they're planning how to keep the forest safe from something scary. That's a great plot.

或者，哦，也許他們在計劃如何讓森林遠離可怕的東西。這個情節不錯。

現在，讓我們來引入一個轉折。

What if there's a legend about Whisperwood that tonight's moon brings a magical event? That's cool.

如果低語林有一個傳說 今晚的月亮會帶來一個神奇的事件呢？太酷了

Maybe every hundred years, when the moon is just right, the oldest tree, let's call it Elderbranch, gives a special power to one animal. I'm hooked.

也許每隔一百年，當月亮正好升起時，最古老的樹，我們姑且稱它為 "長老樹枝"，就會賦予一種動物特殊的力量。我上鉤了

What kind of power could it be, and how would the animals react to this event? The power could be the ability to speak with humans.

這可能是一種什麼樣的能力，動物們又會對這一事件做出怎樣的反應呢？這種能力可能是與人類對話的能力。

And I think some animals might be excited, but others might be nervous because it's a big responsibility. That's a thoughtful approach.

我想有些動物可能會很興奮，但有些動物可能會很緊張，因為這是一項重大的責任。這是一種深思熟慮的做法。

How would our owl, you, feel about this possibility? She'd be curious and a little scared, but also brave.

我們的貓頭鷹，也就是你，會怎麼看待這種可能性呢？她會好奇，會有點害怕，但也會很勇敢。

She'd want to help humans understand the forest better. Amazing, Sarah.

她想幫助人類更好地瞭解森林。太神奇了，莎拉

You've built an entire world around Whisperwood.

你圍繞著低語林建立了一個完整的世界。

What would be the first thing the owl would want to say to the humans? She'd probably say, "Take care of our home as we take care of yours.

貓頭鷹想對人類說的第一句話是什麼？她可能會說："照顧好我們的家，就像我們照顧你們的家一樣。

Let's live in harmony." What a profound message.

讓我們和諧共處"。多麼深刻的寓意。

Now, as we wrap up, how do you think the story would end? With the first rays of sunrise, the animals would go back to being regular animals, but the owl would remember everything and keep watching over the forest.

現在，我們來總結一下，你覺得故事的結尾會是怎樣的呢？隨著第一縷朝陽的升起，動物們將變回普通的動物，但貓頭鷹會記住一切，繼續守護著森林。

And maybe, just maybe, a human somewhere would understand her hoots. Sarah, that was fantastic.

也許，只是也許，某個地方的人類會理解她的叫聲。莎拉，太棒了

You've just created a beautiful, enchanting story.

你剛剛創作了一個美麗迷人的故事。

How did you feel about this exercise? It was so fun, Mr. Davis.

你覺得這次練習怎麼樣？太有趣了，戴維斯先生

I didn't know I could come up with a story like that.

我不知道自己還能編出這樣的故事。

The picture really helped me imagine everything. You did wonderfully.

這幅畫真的讓我想象到了一切。你做得很好。

Pictures can be powerful prompts for writing.

圖片可以成為寫作的有力提示。

Keep that imagination running wild, Sarah.

繼續發揮你的想象力吧，莎拉。

After Whisperwood, let's see where our imagination can take us next.

在 "低語林 "之後，讓我們看看我們的想象力會把我們帶向何方。

What do you see here, Sarah? Oh, it's so pretty.

There are people in boats, and there are huge paper boats and candles on the water, too.

船上有人，水面上還有巨大的紙船和蠟燭。

It looks like a festival in a magical forest. Exactly, Sarah.

看起來就像魔法森林裡的節日。沒錯，莎拉

This could be the Festival of Lights on the Enchanted River.

這可能就是魔法河上的燈光節。

Now let's think of a character who could be the main focus of this scene.

現在，讓我們想一想這個場景的主角是誰。

Who stands out to you? There's a person standing up in a boat, holding a staff.

誰讓你眼前一亮？有一個人站在船上，手裡拿著一根杖。

It looks like she's leading the festival. Brilliant.

看起來，她正在上司音樂節。太棒了

What should we name her and what could be her role in the festival? Let's call her Luminara, the Keeper of the Enchanted River.

我們該給她取個什麼名字，她在節日中會扮演什麼角色？就叫她盧米納拉吧，魔法河的守護者。

She guides the festival every year where everyone sends a wish on the water. Wonderful.

她每年都會指導節日活動，每個人都會在水上許願。太棒了

Now imagine you're there, in a boat, holding your paper boat.

現在想象一下，你在船上，拿著你的紙船。

What wish would you write down before setting it afloat? I'd write, "I wish for adventure and friends to share it with." That's a good wish, right? It's perfect.

在漂流之前，你會寫下什麼願望？我會寫 "我希望有冒險和朋友一起分享"這願望不錯吧？太完美了

What do you think happens when all the wishes touch the water? Maybe the water glows, and the wishes come alive, swimming like fish under the boats. What an enchanting thought.

你覺得當所有的願望都觸碰到水時，會發生什麼？也許水會發光，願望也會活過來，像魚兒一樣在船底游來游去。多麼迷人的想法。

Now, could there be a legend about this river that Luminara knows? Yes.

盧米娜拉知道這條河的傳說嗎？會的

The legend says that the river was once a sky river, flowing among the stars, and it fell to the earth carrying bits of starlight. That's poetic, Sarah.

傳說這條河曾經是一條天河，在星空中流淌，帶著點點星光墜落人間。真有詩意，莎拉

Is there something special about them? They could be made from magical trees in the forest, and that's why they can carry wishes. Now let's add some action.

它們有什麼特別之處嗎？它們可能是用森林裡神奇的樹木做成的，所以才能承載願望。現在我們來增加一些動作。

What if something unexpected happens during the festival? Hmm.

如果節日期間發生什麼意外怎麼辦？嗯。

What if a boat accidentally turns into a real boat-sized fish because of a super strong wish? A magical twist.

如果因為一個超級強烈的願望，一艘小船意外變成了一條真正的小船大小的魚，那該怎麼辦？神奇的轉折

How would Luminara and the festival goers react to this? Luminara would use her staff to calm the giant fish, and everyone would laugh and be amazed.

盧米納拉和節日的人們會如何反應呢？盧米納拉會用她的法杖安撫巨魚，大家都會大笑不止，驚歎不已。

It would become a new story to tell every year. You've just turned the Festival of Lights into an unforgettable tale.

這將成為每年都要講述的新故事。你剛剛把燈光節變成了一個難忘的故事。

Sarah, what do you enjoy most about creating stories from these flashcards? I love that anything can happen, Mr. Davis.

莎拉，你最喜歡用這些閃卡創作什麼故事？我喜歡任何事情都可能發生，戴維斯先生。

It's like I'm part of the story myself. Exactly the spirit of storytelling, Sarah.

就好像我自己也是故事的一部分。這正是講故事的精神所在，莎拉。

Your creativity shines as bright as the candles on the river.

你的創造力就像河上的蠟燭一樣閃閃發光。

What's this place saying to you? It's a library that goes on forever, up into the stars.

這個地方在對你說什麼？這是一座綿延不絕的圖書館，直達星空。

There are ladders to climb to the books and planets floating around.

有梯子可以爬到漂浮在周圍的書籍和星球上。

It's like a space library. A space library is a stellar setting.

它就像一個太空圖書館。太空圖書館是一個星際環境。

What shall we call this extraordinary place? How about the Cosmos Archives?

我們該如何稱呼這個非同尋常的地方呢？宇宙檔案館怎麼樣？

It sounds grand and mysterious. It certainly does.

聽起來宏偉而神祕。確實如此。

Now who do you think manages the Cosmos Archives? There should be a librarian, but not just any librarian.

你覺得宇宙檔案館由誰管理？應該有一個圖書管理員，但不是普通的圖書管理員。

One who knows all the secrets of the universe.

Maybe they're an alien or a timeless being. Intriguing.

也許他們是外星人或永恆的存在。耐人尋味。

Let's name this librarian and think about what their daily routine might involve. Let's call them Astra.

讓我們給這位圖書管理員起個名字，想想他們的日常工作可能是什麼。我們就叫他們阿斯特拉吧。

They would organize shooting stars, dust off comet tails, and make sure the moon phases are in the right order. That's quite the job description.

他們會整理流星，撣掉彗尾，確保月相順序正確。工作內容還真不少。

Now let's imagine there's a special book Astra is searching for.

現在，讓我們想象一下 Astra 正在尋找一本特別的書。

What is it about? It's a book with blank pages that fills with words as you think, so it becomes any story you want to read. What a magical concept for a book.

它是關於什麼的？這是一本有空白頁的書，你想什麼，它就會寫什麼，你想讀什麼故事，它就會變成什麼故事。對於一本書來說，這是一個多麼神奇的概念。

But why is Astra searching for this book? Maybe there's a legend that the book will only appear to someone who truly loves stories for the sake of stories, not for power or knowledge. That's a wonderful legend.

但阿斯特拉為什麼要尋找這本書呢？也許有這樣一個傳說：只有真正熱愛故事的人，而不是為了權力或知識，才會得到這本書。這真是個美妙的傳說

If you were in the Cosmos Archives, what story would appear in the book for you? I think it would be an adventure story about a girl who travels through different worlds, learning and making friends along the way. Sounds like a bestseller to me.

如果你在《宇宙檔案》中，書中會出現你的哪個故事？我想應該是一個冒險故事，講述一個女孩穿越不同的世界，一路上學習知識、結交朋友的故事。聽起來很暢銷。

What challenge would the girl face on her journey? She'd have to find the courage to help a world that's forgotten how to dream and bring imagination back to them. A noble quest indeed.

女孩在旅途中會遇到什麼挑戰？她必須鼓起勇氣，幫助這個已經忘記如何做夢的世界，讓他們重拾想象力。這的確是一項崇高的追求。

How do you suppose the story would end, Sarah? With the girl realizing that she brought dreams back, not just to that world, but to all the others she visited, including her own. Sarah, you have just built another universe within the Cosmos Archives.

你覺得故事的結局會怎樣 莎拉女孩意識到她把夢帶回來了，不僅是那個世界，還有她到過的所有其他世界，包括她自己的世界。莎拉，你剛剛在宇宙檔案館裡建立了另一個宇宙。

How do you feel about the story you created? It feels magical, Mr. Davis.

你對自己創作的故事感覺如何？感覺很神奇 戴維斯先生

I like thinking about all those books and stories up in the stars. Never stop reaching for the stars with your stories, Sarah.

我喜歡想著星空中的那些書和故事。永遠不要停止用你的故事去追尋星空，莎拉。

They're as limitless as your imagination.

它們就像你的想象力一樣無窮無盡。
