Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 5

English → Chinese CHAPTER I. Level 6/10

Miss Watson she kept pecking at me, and it got tiresome and lonesome.

沃森小姐一直对我唠唠叨叨，让我觉得又烦又孤独。

By-and-by they fetched the niggers in and had prayers, and then everybody was off to bed.

过了一会儿，他们把黑奴们叫进来做了祷告，然后大家都去睡觉了。

I went up to my room with a piece of candle, and put it on the table.

我拿着一截蜡烛上了楼，把它放在桌子上。

Then I set down in a chair by the window and tried to think of something cheerful, but it warn't no use.

然后我坐在窗边的椅子上，试着想些开心的事，但毫无用处。

I felt so lonesome I most wished I was dead.

我感到如此孤独，几乎希望自己已经死了。

The stars were shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard an owl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a whippowill and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die; and the wind was trying to whisper something to me, and I couldn't make out what it was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me.

星星在闪耀，树林里的树叶发出令人悲伤的沙沙声；我听到远处一只猫头鹰在为某个死去的人呜呜叫，还有一只夜莺和一条狗在为某个将死之人哀鸣；风试图向我低语什么，我却听不清它在说什么，这让我浑身直起鸡皮疙瘩。

Then away out in the woods I heard that kind of a sound that a ghost makes when it wants to tell about something that's on its mind and can't make itself understood, and so can't rest easy in its grave, and has to go about that way every night grieving.

接着，在远处的树林里，我听到了那种幽灵发出的声音——当它心中有什么话想倾诉却无法让人明白时，便无法安息于墓中，只得每夜这样游荡哀泣。

I got so down-hearted and scared I did wish I had some company.

我心中如此沮丧害怕，真的很希望身边有人陪伴。

Pretty soon a spider went crawling up my shoulder, and I flipped it off and it lit in the candle; and before I could budge it was all shriveled up.

不一会儿，一只蜘蛛爬上了我的肩膀，我把它弹了出去，它落在了蜡烛上；还没等我动弹，它就已经烧焦蜷缩了。
