Now, I ain't alone, as you may think I am.

现在,我并不是孤身一人,尽管你可能这么以为。

There's a young man hid with me, in comparison with which young man I am a Angel.

有个年轻人跟我藏在一起,跟那个年轻人相比,我简直是个天使。

That young man hears the words I speak.

那个年轻人听得见我说的每一句话。

That young man has a secret way pecooliar to himself, of getting at a boy, and at his heart, and at his liver.

那个年轻人有一种他独有的秘密方法,能够找到一个男孩,摸到他的心脏,掏出他的肝脏。

It is in wain for a boy to attempt to hide himself from that young man.

男孩想要躲避那个年轻人,那是徒劳的。

A boy may lock his door, may be warm in bed, may tuck himself up, may draw the clothes over his head, may think himself comfortable and safe, but that young man will softly creep and creep his way to him and tear him open.

一个男孩可以锁上门,可以躺在暖和的床上,可以把自己裹得严严实实,可以把衣被蒙过头顶,可以以为自己舒适又安全,但那个年轻人会悄悄地、悄悄地爬到他身边,将他剖开。

I am a keeping that young man from harming of you at the present moment, with great difficulty.

此刻我正费尽全力阻止那个年轻人伤害你。

I find it wery hard to hold that young man off of your inside.

我发现要让那个年轻人不去掏你的内脏,实在是难上加难。

Now, what do you say?"

那么,你说怎么办?"

I said that I would get him the file, and I would get him what broken bits of food I could, and I would come to him at the Battery, early in the morning.

我说我会给他弄来那把锉刀,还会尽力给他弄些残羹剩饭,并且一大早就去炮台找他。

"Say Lord strike you dead if you don't!" said the man.

"发誓,若不照做,就叫上帝要你的命!"那男人说道。

I said so, and he took me down.

我照他的话发了誓,他便让我下来。

"Now," he pursued, "you remember what you've undertook, and you remember that young man, and you get home!"

"好了,"他接着说,"你记住你答应过的事,记住那个年轻人,然后回家去!"

"Goo-good night, sir," I faltered.

"晚——晚安,先生,"我结结巴巴地说。

"Much of that!" said he, glancing about him over the cold wet flat.

"少废话!"他说,目光扫视着四周那片寒冷潮湿的荒地。
