I feared that with my uncle's stubbornness, Martha could be right, but I did not tell her. I then thought of tell Grauben everything, but realized that I could not leave, or my uncle might return while I was gone. What would happen if he came back while I was away? He could be terribly upset. therefore, I stayed there, waiting for him.

After nervously walking around the room for some time, I sat down in my uncle's old chair in his study to examine the mysterious piece of ancient writing. I soon noticed that the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth letters formed the English word "ice", that the eighty-fourth, eighty-fifth, and eighty-sixth letters formed "sir", that a few Latin words appeared in the second and third lines, and I recognized three French words on the fourth line.

我紧张在房间里走了一会儿后，在他书房里的老椅子上坐了下来，开始研究那张写着神秘的古老文字的纸片。我很快就注意到第十四、十五和十六个字母组成了英文单词“ice”，第八十四、八十五和八十六个字母组成了“sir”，而在第二和第三行出现了一些拉丁词，在第四行我还认出了三个法语词。

It was crazy-four different languages in that silly sentence! What connection could there be between such words as ice, sir, anger, cruel, wood, changeable, mother, and sea? I could easily connect the words, "ice" and "sea" with Iceland, but not the rest.

“ice”, “sir”, “anger”, “cruel”, “wood”, “changeable”, “mother”, “sea”这些词究竟有什么联系呢？我很容易能把“ice”、“sea”和冰岛联系起来，但其他的词却联系不起来。
