家园 鄂温克族先人在白令海峡相籍别,同胞兄弟今在何方

翻译的一个小故事,由于时间所限主要靠google scholar,大家帮我看一下遣词用句和语法吧

Dulaer-May, an Ewenki writer wrote a story told by her forefathers since childhood, in one of her most popular books ("My father is a Shaman (Medicine Man):

Long ago, Evenki people decided to immigrate from their old places, and they were moving in several directions. Some of them walk along the beach to the north, reached the end of the mainland and found this place a triangle shape, three sides surrounded by the sea, the coastline towards to the horizon, the same as the arrows fly forward, Ewenki people call it: "New-tHE" niure); and when tides come up, the coastlines look like a bow, Evenki people call it "the Bering Xidun" (bairing xiden), this place is the Bering Strait. There were several clans together migrating, after they come here, people began to hesitate," are they going west along the coastline? Or turn around and return? At this time, a shaman had a dream that he met a white-bearded elders who told him: This is the coast of the bow and arrow! From here, you can go across the sea like a shot arrow, across the sea, there is a really good place, that place is called Alaxijia (alaxijia, Evenki language meaning "to wait for you") - this place is the United States, Alaska. For several days, shaman were having the same dream. So shaman called the chiefs to discuss migration matters, the results were that some people wanted to go across the sea, some people wanted to return , they could not persuade each other. At last shaman come up with an idea , he said: "people who go back, sleep at night towards the direction of where we come; people who wanted to go across the sea, sleep with the head pointing towards the direction of the sea ." The next morning, when Shaman looked around, people were really sleeping in two directions. This prompted him to make up decision to lead those people who wanted to go across the sea. Prior to departure, Shaman said: "Let us say farewell to each other, in the future we will be very far away, how would our children recognize each other? To remember each other, they decided that Evenki would wear an "arrow ring" (the ring with which one shoots an arrow) in the thumb. "In this way, they broke up.

In the past, Evenki was not afraid of water, they could swim and make ship, they went across the wide strait with bundled logs. In the parting time, the two groups of people hugged each other and just could not separate, the people going across the strait standing on a raft were constantly waving to the people staying on shore and shouting: "ugljan , ugljan (wugelian, Evenki language, meaning" to go it! go! ") Later, the name of this place is called: Wu E with (English Uelen).

Many years later, there has not been the message of the people who have gone across the sea, the people who have gone back from the Straits still remember the name: Elaxijia(Alaska) - waiting for you.
