好吧，我知道我要做什么了：我要坐在这里，听，直到我再次听到那个声音。"

Well, I know what I's gwyne to do: I's gwyne to set down here and listen tell I hears it agin.

于是他坐在了我和汤姆之间的地上。

So he set down on the ground betwixt me and Tom.

他把背靠在一棵树上，把腿伸展开来，直到他的一条腿几乎碰到了我的一条腿。

He leaned his back up against a tree, and stretched his legs out till one of them most touched one of mine.

我的鼻子开始发痒。

My nose begun to itch.

痒得我眼泪都出来了。

It itched till the tears come into my eyes.

但我不敢去抓。

But I dasn't scratch.

然后里面也开始痒了。

Then it begun to itch on the inside.

接着下面也开始痒了。

Next I got to itching underneath.

我不知道该怎么安静地坐着。

I didn't know how I was going to set still.

这种难受的感觉持续了大约六七分钟，但感觉比那要长得多。

This miserableness went on as much as six or seven minutes; but it seemed a sight longer than that.

我现在有十一个地方都在发痒。

I was itching in eleven different places now.

我觉得我撑不过一分钟了，但我咬紧牙关，准备再坚持一下。

I reckoned I couldn't stand it more'n a minute longer, but I set my teeth hard and got ready to try.

就在这时，吉姆开始呼吸沉重，接着开始打鼾——然后我很快就又舒服起来了。

Just then Jim begun to breathe heavy; next he begun to snore—and then I was pretty soon comfortable again.

汤姆向我做了个手势——用嘴发出一种轻微的声音——我们就用手和膝盖爬着悄悄离开了。

Tom he made a sign to me—kind of a little noise with his mouth—and we went creeping away on our hands and knees.

当我们离开十英尺远的时候，汤姆低声跟我说，想把吉姆绑在树上取乐。

When we was ten foot off Tom whispered to me, and wanted to tie Jim to the tree for fun.

但我说不行；他可能会醒来闹出动静，那样他们就会发现我不在屋里了。

But I said no; he might wake and make a disturbance, and then they'd find out I warn't in.

然后汤姆说他的蜡烛不够用了，他要溜进厨房再去拿一些。

Then Tom said he hadn't got candles enough, and he would slip in the kitchen and get some more.
