Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 3
I didn't want him to try.
我不想让他去尝试。
I said Jim might wake up and come.
我说吉姆可能会醒来过来。
But Tom wanted to resk it; so we slid in there and got three candles, and Tom laid five cents on the table for pay.
但汤姆想冒这个险;于是我们溜了进去,拿了三根蜡烛,汤姆在桌上放了五分钱作为报酬。
Then we got out, and I was in a sweat to get away; but nothing would do Tom but he must crawl to where Jim was, on his hands and knees, and play something on him.
然后我们出来了,我急得满头大汗想赶快离开;但汤姆偏不肯走,非要手脚并用爬到吉姆待的地方,捉弄他一番。
I waited, and it seemed a good while, everything was so still and lonesome.
我在等着,感觉等了好一会儿,四周静悄悄的,十分寂寥。
As soon as Tom was back we cut along the path, around the garden fence, and by-and-by fetched up on the steep top of the hill the other side of the house.
汤姆一回来,我们就沿着小路跑,绕过花园的篱笆,不一会儿就爬上了屋子另一侧那座山的陡峭山顶。
Tom said he slipped Jim's hat off of his head and hung it on a limb right over him, and Jim stirred a little, but he didn't wake.
汤姆说他把吉姆头上的帽子悄悄取下来,挂在吉姆正上方的树枝上,吉姆动了一下,但没有醒。
Afterwards Jim said the witches bewitched him and put him in a trance, and rode him all over the State, and then set him under the trees again, and hung his hat on a limb to show who done it.
后来吉姆说是女巫施了魔法迷惑了他,让他陷入恍惚,骑着他跑遍了整个州,然后又把他放回树下,把他的帽子挂在树枝上,以示是谁干的。
And next time Jim told it he said they rode him down to New Orleans; and, after that, every time he told it he spread it more and more, till by-and-by he said they rode him all over the world, and tired him most to death, and his back was all over saddle-boils.
下次吉姆讲这件事时,说他们骑着他一路跑到了新奥尔良;此后,每次他讲这个故事都越说越夸张,到后来他说他们骑着他跑遍了全世界,把他累得半死,他的背上全是鞍疮。
