第七章
The morning after Hachi disappeared，Yasuo woke up early.
八公失踪后的那个早晨，Yasuo醒得很早。
He washed himself quickly，put on his school uniform, and hurried into the tatami room to speak to his mother.
他迅速地洗了个澡，穿上校服，匆匆走进榻榻米房间和妈妈说话。
"Good morning, Okaasan, "Yasuo said."Did Hachi come back？”
“早上好,妈妈”Yasuo说。“八公回来了吗?”
“No, "Mrs.Takahashi said.
“没有,”高桥太太说。
"Otoosan looked for him before he left for work, but he did not find him.
爸爸上班前去找过他，但没有找到。
I am sorry, Yasuo.Come sit down and eat something."
很抱歉，Yasuo。来坐下来吃点东西吧。”
Yasuo sat on his cushion, picked up his chopsticks, and tried to eat some rice, but he could not.
Yasuo坐在他的垫子上，拿起筷子，想吃点米饭，可是他吃不下去。
He could not even take a sip of miso soup.
他甚至连一口味噌汤都喝不下去。
There was no room for food in his stomach. It was too full of sadness.
他的胃里已经装不下任何食物了。里面充满了悲伤。
"We will never see the Professor again,"Yasuo said, his voice heavy with sorrow.
“我们再也见不到教授了，”Yasuo说，他的声音里充满了悲伤。
"And now we will never see Hachi again."
“现在我们连八公也见不到了。”
Yasuo stood up from his cushion and gathered his schoolbooks, moving slow as a turtle.
Yasuo从垫子上站起身来，收拾着他的课本，动作像乌龟一样缓慢。
As soon as he and his mother left the house, he began to search for the Professor's dog.
他和母亲刚一离开家，就开始四处寻找教授的狗。
"Hachi! Hachi!"Yasuo called, cupping his hands around his mouth.
“八公！八公”!Yasuo喊道，双手放在嘴边。
Then he stood very still and listened, but he did not hear the footsteps of the Akita-ken.
然后他静静地站在那里听着，但是他并没有听到秋田犬的脚步声。
Yasuo took two more steps, stopped, and cupped his hands again."Hachi"
Yasuo又走了两步，停了下来，再次把双手放在嘴边，“八公”。
Yasuo did this all the way to the train station, but it was no use.
Yasuo在去火车站的路上一直这么做，但并没有用。
Hachi was nowhere to be found.
八公不见了。
The Station Master greeted them eagerly at the top of the stairs.
站长在楼梯口热情地迎接他们。
"Good morning, Mrs. Takahashi. Good morning, Yasuo,"he said. "How is Hachi?"
“早上好，高桥太太。早上好，Yasuo，”他说。“八公怎么样了?”
"He ran away,"said Yasuo, looking down at his shoes."We do not know where he is."
“他跑掉了，”Yasuo说，低头看着自己的鞋子。“我们不知道他在哪儿。”
"He is such a handsome dog. I am sure someone will take him in and care for him,"said Mr. Yoshikawa, trying to make Yasuo feel better.
“他长得很好看。我相信有人会照顾他的，”吉川先生说，他想让Yasuo感觉好受些。
"I hope so,"said Mrs. Takahashi.
“希望如此，”高桥太太说。
