Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 2
我又穿上了我那身破烂衣裳，钻回了我的糖桶，感到自由自在，心满意足。
I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied.
但是汤姆·索亚找到了我，说他要组建一个强盗帮，如果我愿意回到寡妇那里、规规矩矩做人，就可以入伙。
But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable.
于是我就回去了。
So I went back.
寡妇为我哭泣，叫我可怜的迷途羔羊，还给我起了许多别的称呼，不过她没有恶意。
The widow she cried over me, and called me a poor lost lamb, and she called me a lot of other names, too, but she never meant no harm by it.
她又给我穿上了那身新衣裳，我除了不停地冒汗、浑身难受，什么也做不了。
She put me in them new clothes again, and I couldn't do nothing but sweat and sweat, and feel all cramped up.
唉，老一套又开始了。
Well, then, the old thing commenced again.
寡妇摇铃叫吃晚饭，你必须准时到场。
The widow rung a bell for supper, and you had to come to time.
到了饭桌前，你不能立刻动筷，得等寡妇低下头，对着饭菜嘟囔一番，尽管那些饭菜其实没什么毛病——
When you got to the table you couldn't go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the victuals, though there warn't really anything the matter with them,—
也就是说，唯一的问题不过是每样东西都分开单独烹煮。
that is, nothing only everything was cooked by itself.
要是把各种东西混在一个桶里就不一样了；东西搅在一起，汤汁互相渗透，味道反而更好。
In a barrel of odds and ends it is different; things get mixed up, and the juice kind of swaps around, and the things go better.
