故事简介 
The Story in Brief
科罗纳多Coronado
叫我科罗纳多吧，我也热烈欢迎大家！ 这件事情源自于我的一个决定：如果我汇总整理一下，把第一位向全世界介绍大峡谷的人，也就是那位像我一样，也是西班牙裔的科罗纳多，告诉所有来大峡谷的孩子和其他所有人。那么也许我可以在一个美好的地方过上美好的生活。 在堪萨斯州的时候，我们在学校和电影中所学到的一切都是关于英国清教徒们开拓西部，在加利福尼亚州寻找黄金，和其他一些东西。 但是有一天，我记得应该是去房产交易，碰巧在一家离威奇托还有点远的小博物馆停下来，了解到了科罗纳多。那些所谓的先驱者开始前往加利福尼亚的一百年前，他就从西班牙乘船过来了。最终又骑了一匹马，一路前行来到了墨西哥城和堪萨斯州。 结果，随行的一些侦察员在路上意外地发现了大峡谷。
Call me Coronado. And a big hello from me as well. This thing started when I decided maybe I could have a nice life in a nice place if I put something together to tell the school kids and everybody else that comes to the Grand Canyon about the first guy to tell the rest of the world about it. Coronado. A hispanic guy. Like me. Back in Kansas, all we ever got in school and in the movies was about the English pilgrims heading west, looking for gold in California, and all the rest of it. But one day I happened to stop at a little museum a ways out from Wichita - I think I was out there for some real estate deal - and I stop by this little museum and find out about Coronado, who came over on a boat from Spain, and eventually went all the way up from Mexico City and on into Kansas, on a horse no less, a hundred years before the so-called pioneers started heading to California. And it turns out that on the way some of the scouts with him stumbled onto the Grand Canyon.
所以我决定自己去看一看，每个人都会在某个时刻因为好奇而去做一些事情，我不知道还有比这更美好的事情了。 但重要的是：每个人都会去，至少一次。 没有比这个更好的地方了，给大家戏剧般地演绎美国历史的开端，他们在学校很可能没学过这个部分，就像我一样。 堪萨斯州中部的那个小地方并没有吸引那么多人， 你知道嘛。 与大家常去的地方相比，这个地方能更好地向全世界介绍科罗纳多和我们的历史。 大峡谷。所以......我原以为我会像很多其他游客一样乐在其中，乘船沿着科罗拉多河顺流而下，然后停靠在大峡谷底部中间的河边，一个又老又臭的地方，他们称之为幻影牧场。 那是一个很热的夏日午后，我和我的船友们都累坏了。 他们到旅馆里休息并准备晚餐了。 我呢，在沙滩上睡着了，以至于没有注意到身旁一位正在画画的女士。后来一位中国人开始和她说话，我才知道。后来，这位中国人带着一个水罐回来，我们就开始闲聊了。 原来，他居然是一位来自中国的奇石采集者，我们很聊得来。到最后，我交上两位朋友：一位就是他，他正在寻找一个地方，在那里我们可以做一件与众不同的事情，另外一个就是她，那位对光线变化等颇有微词的太空见习艺术家。
So I decided to see it for myself, like everybody does some time, because they’re curious, have nothing better to do, I don’t know. But the thing is: everybody checks it out, once at least. What better place to stage a play to tell people about the beginning of American history, the part they probably missed in school, like I did. That little place in the middle of Kansas just doesn’t draw that many people, you know. What better place to tell the world about Coronado and our history than someplace everybody goes to at least once. The Grand Canyon. So. . . I thought I’d have some fun doing it and take a boat ride down the Colorado like plenty of other tourists do, and we dock at this funky old place that’s in about the middle of it, down in the bottom by the river: Phantom Ranch is what they call it. It was summer, and it was hot in the late afternoon, and my boatmates and me, we were wiped out. They went into the lodge to rest and clean up for dinner. Me? I just crashed on the beach and didn’t even notice this lady making a painting until this Chinaman starts talking to her. Then he comes back with a pitcher and we start shooting the breeze. It turns out he’s a rockhound, from China no less, and we kind of hit it off, and before it’s all over I’ve got the guy looking for someplace we can do a totally different story and the other one, the space cadet artist that’s pissed about a change in the light or something......
奥拉AURA
不要，不要。你应该只说说相关的东西，而不要赋予个人主观态度。
No, no. You’re supposed to just be telling what this is about, not being opinionated about......
科罗纳多CORONADO
嗨，当你在做“哇”的时候，我可是保持沉默哦，你才来了一会会哦，对吧？
Hey. I kept quiet while you were doing your Wow, You’re here bit, huh?
奥拉AURA
太空学员......
Space cadet......
科罗纳多CORONADO
你们的想法对我来说会有点奇怪，我们现在做进一个应该像飞碟一样的东西里，是不是会很奇特？
Between the two of them they just weirded me out and now we’re doing this in what’s supposed to be a flying saucer. How strange can things get?
西内SINE
我喜欢它的一个地方......
One thing I like about it......
科罗纳多CORONADO
哦。这位是奇石采集者，西内。
Oh. That’s Sine, the rockhound.
西内SINE
奇石采集者。哈哈。我刚刚想说，我想去看看奥拉和科罗纳多曾经去过的那些地方。我甚至做了一张显示它们的地图。当科罗纳多告诉我他的探索地点时，我还添加了他经过的路线。
Rockhound. Haha. – I was just going to say one thing I like is seeing all the places Aura and Coronado have been around here. I even made a Map showing them, and when Coronado told me about where Coronado explored, I added the paths he followed.
奥拉AURA
那些印第安人们告诉科罗纳多的老印第安小路。
The old Indian paths the Indians told Coronado about.
科罗纳多CORONADO
是的，当然了。 因此，我开始向他们介绍科罗纳多，然后开始讨论雾霾，水坝，人的本性，太空旅行，自然的本性等等。
Sure. Of course. So I start telling them about Coronado and before you know it we’re off on smog, dams, the nature of man, space travel, the nature of nature, you name it.
不管怎么样，我已经完成了。奥拉久久没有完成她的绘画。西内也还没有如愿地开始在特斯拉工作。一切都变了。现在我们在这里，也就是几年前那天晚上我们谈论的那些地方的正中间。 我很太喜欢了。如果您想要看这些地点列表，这里都有。我不会把它们背下来，因为在西内做的地图上，您可以很容易地找到它们。现在呢，您只需点击西内整理的《操作手册》，了解如何充分地利用这些功能。
Anyway, I’m done. Aura never finished her painting. Sine never started working at Tesla like he meant to. Everything got all switched around. And here we are, right smack in the middle of all the places we talked about that night a couple years ago. And I’m lovin’ it. You can see the places list right here if you want. I’m not going to recite ‘em since you can see ‘em easy enough on the Map Sine made. But for now, just go ahead and click on the Operator’s Manual Sine put together to see how to get the most out of this thing.
