如果说文字是智慧的载体，那么识字毫无疑问是求学的起点。而柯莱，似乎刚刚抵达知识之峰的山脚。
载体vehicle
If words are the
她初至化城郭时，就连一向快言快语的提纳里也面露犹豫之色，再三询问那位大风纪官是不是走错了门，自己现阶段还没有开学前班的打算。
快言快语的outspoken
When she first arrived in Gandharva Ville, even the outspoken Tighnari showed obvious hesitation, making repeated inquiries with the General Mahamatra if she had walked through the wrong door, since he had yet to make any plans to teach preschool level courses.
几经波折，柯莱才拜入老师门下。为了提高柯莱的识字量，提纳里搜罗了各类书籍文献，希望柯莱能通过广泛阅读掌握生词新字。
Still, after several twists and turns, Collei did finally become a trainee. To facilitate her learning of words, Tighnari gathered a wide assortment of books and documents, in the hope that Collei would soon master enough words through extensive reading.
除去儿童用提瓦特识字大全和叫人头大却不得不读的学科论文，柯莱最常读的书是蒙德的童话绘本。
不得不读的mandatory-reading
Apart from the literacy encyclopedias for children and the mandatory-reading academic papers that made her head swell, Collei can most often be found reading fairy tale picture books from Mondstadt.
原因无他——童书的字少配图多，即便不认识字也能看图猜个大概。
The logic is simple: those books tend to have fewer words and more pictures. Even if you do not know the words, chances are that you can still guess their meaning by looking at the illustrations.
不过，只读童书显然无法跟上教学的进程，于是，等到识字量稍涨，柯莱便开始物色新的课外读物。
课外读物extracurricular reading materials
However, reading only children's books hardly sufficed to keep up with her curriculum. Once she had picked up slightly more words, she immediately started to look for new extracurricular reading materials.
听偶尔路过道成林的旅人们说，稻妻有种名叫「轻小说」的书籍，内容比论文易懂，插画比童书略少，正是拿来过渡的好选择。
According to some travelers who had passed through Avidya Forest, there was a type of book in Inazuma known as the "light novel," which was easier to read than academic papers, and with fewer illustrations than picture books. To Collei, that sounded like the exact type of book she needed.
更重要的是，据说「轻小说」情节往往令人手不释卷，许多读者一拿到书，不惜熬夜也要当天读完。
More importantly, the plots of these "light novels" were often so incredibly riveting that as soon as they got a copy, many readers just had to finish reading it in one go, even if they had to stay up all night.
这对每晚强振精神才能坚持苦读的柯莱而言，非常值得一试。
That definitely sounded tempting to Collei, since she had to force herself, more often than not, to stay awake long enough to finish her readings.
某日巡林结束，柯莱捧着新一卷《鬼武道》兴高采烈地跑回宿舍，迫不及待地开始挑灯夜读——那一晚她也确实没睡着。
One day after her forest patrol, Collei excitedly ran back to her dormitory with the newest volume of "Onibudou." She was so ready to pull an all-nighter reading the light novel — and as it turned out, she indeed stayed awake that night.
「封印之力！」、「孤高复仇者！」、「离我远点才是上策！」、「众神的恩宠与我无缘！」…
"My sealed power!" "The lonesome avenger!" "You'd be wise to stay away from me!" "I shall never witness the grace of the gods!"...
——柯莱把头闷在被子里翻来覆去一整夜，都没能从这些字句里缓过劲来。
被子quilt
翻来覆去toss and turn
—Covering her head with the quilt, Collei tossed and turned upon her mattress the entire night. Even as the dawn broke, she had not yet torn her mind away from these words.
