Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 4

English → Chinese CHAPTER II. Level 6/10

Jim was monstrous proud about it, and he got so he wouldn't hardly notice the other niggers.

吉姆为此骄傲得不得了，他变得几乎不把其他黑人放在眼里。

Niggers would come miles to hear Jim tell about it, and he was more looked up to than any nigger in that country.

黑人们会跋涉数里来听吉姆讲述这件事，他在那一带比任何黑人都更受人敬仰。

Strange niggers would stand with their mouths open and look him all over, same as if he was a wonder.

陌生的黑人会张大嘴巴上下打量他，就好像他是个奇人一样。

Niggers is always talking about witches in the dark by the kitchen fire; but whenever one was talking and letting on to know all about such things, Jim would happen in and say, "Hm! What you know 'bout witches?" and that nigger was corked up and had to take a back seat.

黑人们总爱在厨房火堆旁的黑暗中谈论女巫；但每当有人滔滔不绝、装作对这些事情无所不知的时候，吉姆就会凑过来说："哼！你懂什么女巫？"那个黑人便会哑口无言，只好靠边站。

Jim always kept that five-center piece round his neck with a string, and said it was a charm the devil give to him with his own hands, and told him he could cure anybody with it and fetch witches whenever he wanted to just by saying something to it; but he never told what it was he said to it.

吉姆总是用一根绳子把那枚五分钱硬币挂在脖子上，说那是魔鬼亲手交给他的护身符，并告诉他只要对着它说几句话，就能治好任何人的病，还能随时召来女巫；但他从不透露他对它说的是什么。

Niggers would come from all around there and give Jim anything they had, just for a sight of that five-center piece; but they wouldn't touch it, because the devil had had his hands on it.

四周的黑人都会赶来，把自己所有的东西送给吉姆，只为看一眼那枚五分钱硬币；但他们不敢碰它，因为魔鬼曾经摸过它。

Jim was most ruined for a servant, because he got stuck up on account of having seen the devil and been rode by witches.

吉姆几乎成了个废掉的仆人，因为他自从见过魔鬼、又被女巫骑过之后，便自以为了不起了。
