OpenReaderChapter 7 · The lantern at the gate中文 OriginalEnglish Translation
The rain had stopped by the time Mira reached the northern gate. A single lantern still burned beneath the archway, its pale light trembling in the wind.
She had seen that lantern every evening of her childhood. Tonight, for the first time, someone was waiting beneath it.
“You came,” said the keeper. He did not sound surprised.
Mira unfolded the creased map. “You said the road would disappear at dawn.”
The keeper looked into the darkness beyond the gate. “Then we had better leave now.”
米拉来到北门时，雨已经停了。拱门下仍亮着一盏孤灯，微弱的灯光在风中轻轻摇曳。
小时候，她每天傍晚都会看见那盏灯。而今晚，第一次有人在灯下等她。
“你来了。”守门人说。他的声音里没有一丝惊讶。
米拉展开那张折好的地图。“你说过，这条路会在黎明时消失。”
守门人望向门外的黑暗。“那我们最好现在就出发。”

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is OpenReader free?
During the open beta you can activate a Standard or Boost translation plan through your account, and paid plans stay optional.
Which browsers are supported?
Google Chrome (116 and newer) and macOS Safari. The extension installs like any other browser extension — no special setup.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Log in to OpenReader to access your translation plan and keep your glossary and reading preferences together.
Where can I use it?
On popular webnovel sites. The reader adapts to common chapter layouts, and if a page uses a custom design you can select a passage and translate just that.
Does it translate a whole novel at once?
No. OpenReader translates the chapter on screen and prepares the next one while you read. It never crawls a novel or requests permanent access to reading sites.
Which languages can I translate between?
OpenReader ships with eight translation languages, with pickable source and target languages, and keeps quality tuned per language pair.
