Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 4

English → Chinese CHAPTER I. Level 6/10

Miss Watson would say, "Don't put your feet up there, Huckleberry;" and "Don't scrunch up like that, Huckleberry—set up straight;" and pretty soon she would say, "Don't gap and stretch like that, Huckleberry—why don't you try to behave?"

沃森小姐会说："别把你的脚放在那里，哈克贝利；"还有"别那样缩成一团，哈克贝利——坐直了；"没过多久她又会说："别那样打哈欠伸懒腰，哈克贝利——你为什么不试着规矩一点？"

Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there.

然后她把那个坏地方的事情全都告诉了我，我说我希望自己在那里。

She got mad then, but I didn't mean no harm.

她当时生气了，但我并没有恶意。

All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a change, I warn't particular.

我只是想去某个地方；我只是想换换花样，并没有特别的要求。

She said it was wicked to say what I said; said she wouldn't say it for the whole world; she was going to live so as to go to the good place.

她说我说的那些话是很坏的；说她就算为了整个世界也不会说那种话；她要好好生活，以便能去那个好地方。

Well, I couldn't see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my mind I wouldn't try for it.

唉，我看不出去她要去的那个地方有什么好处，所以我下定决心不去争取了。

But I never said so, because it would only make trouble, and wouldn't do no good.

但我从来没说出口，因为那只会惹麻烦，不会有什么好处。

Now she had got a start, and she went on and told me all about the good place.

这下她打开了话匣子，继续把那个好地方的事情全都告诉了我。

She said all a body would have to do there was to go around all day long with a harp and sing, forever and ever.

她说在那里一个人所要做的就是整天拿着竖琴到处走，唱啊唱，永永远远地唱下去。

So I didn't think much of it.

所以我觉得那没什么意思。

But I never said so.

但我从来没说出口。

I asked her if she reckoned Tom Sawyer would go there, and she said not by a considerable sight.

我问她觉得汤姆·索亚会不会去那里，她说那根本不可能。

I was glad about that, because I wanted him and me to be together.

我对此感到高兴，因为我希望他和我能在一起。
