The Reindeer Need A New Pasture
驯鹿需要一片新牧场
A few days after Ivan had driven for the first time, his father said, "Tomorrow we must move.
伊万完成他首次驾驶驯鹿的几天以后，爸爸说明天我们必须搬家了。
The reindeer have eaten all the moss around here, and we shall have to find a new pasture for them."
驯鹿已经吃完了附近所有的苔藓，我们要为它们找一片新的牧场。
Ivan was very glad to hear this, because he liked to move.
伊万听到这个很高兴，因为他喜欢搬家。
And he understood why his family had to do this several times every year.
而且他明白他的家为什么每年都要搬上好几次。
Even if he was only a young boy, he knew that they must look for a new pasture as soon as the reindeer needed it.
尽管他还是个小男孩，但他知道一旦驯鹿需要新的牧场，他们就要去找。
Nearly every day the boy ate cheese made from reindeer milk or drank some of the milk.
伊万几乎每天都要吃驯鹿奶做的奶酪喝些驯鹿的奶。
It is a good thing that this milk is thick and rich, for a reindeer does not give even a full cup at one time.
这种奶可是浓稠营养丰富的好东西，一只驯鹿一次都挤不出一整杯奶。
That is one reason why Ivan's father had to keep so many of these animals.
这也是为什么伊万的父亲养这么多驯鹿的一个原因。
Ivan knew that his coat and cap were made from reindeer skins, and also the warm covers on his bed.
伊万知道他的外套和帽子，还有床上温暖的被子都是用驯鹿皮做的。
He knew also that the tent he lived in was made out of reindeer skins.
他也知道他住的帐篷也是驯鹿皮做的。
Ivan was up very early on the moving day, because there was much work for him, as well as for all the others.
搬迁的那天伊万起得很早，因为他还有许多事要做，其他人也是。
