That's what she did," said Joe, slowly clearing the fire between the lower bars with the poker, and looking at it; "she Ram-paged out, Pip."

「她就是这么干的，」乔说，慢慢地用拨火棍拨弄着炉栅下方的火，盯着它看；「她暴跳着冲出去了，皮普。」

"Has she been gone long, Joe?" I always treated him as a larger species of child, and as no more than my equal.

「她走了很久了吗，乔？」我总是把他当作一个大一号的孩子，视他不过与我平等。

"Well," said Joe, glancing up at the Dutch clock, "she's been on the Ram-page, this last spell, about five minutes, Pip. She's a-coming! Get behind the door, old chap, and have the jack-towel betwixt you."

「嗯，」乔抬眼瞥了一下那座荷兰钟，「她这回发脾气，大概有五分钟了，皮普。她来了！躲到门后去，老伙计，把那条粗布毛巾隔在你们之间。」

I took the advice. My sister, Mrs. Joe, throwing the door wide open, and finding an obstruction behind it, immediately divined the cause, and applied Tickler to its further investigation.

我听从了这个建议。我姐姐乔太太把门猛地推开，发现门后有东西挡着，立刻猜到了原因，便用"挠痒棍"对此作进一步的追究。

She concluded by throwing me—I often served as a connubial missile—at Joe, who, glad to get hold of me on any terms, passed me on into the chimney and quietly fenced me up there with his great leg.

她最后把我——我常被充当夫妻间的投掷物——扔向乔，乔不管怎样都很高兴抱住我，把我转移到壁炉旁，悄悄地用他那条大腿将我挡在那里。

"Where have you been, you young monkey?" said Mrs. Joe, stamping her foot. "Tell me directly what you've been doing to wear me away with fret and fright and worrit, or I'd have you out of that corner if you was fifty Pips, and he was five hundred Gargerys."

「你跑到哪里去了，你这个小猴子？」乔太太跺着脚说。「马上告诉我你干了什么，害我又烦又怕又担心，不然就算你是五十个皮普，他是五百个盖杰利，我也要把你从那个角落里揪出来。」

"I have only been to the churchyard," said I, from my stool, crying and rubbing myself.

「我只不过去了一趟教堂墓地，」我从凳子上说，一边哭着一边揉自己。

"Churchyard!" repeated my sister. "If it warn't for me you'd have been to the churchyard long ago, and stayed there. Who brought you up by hand?

「教堂墓地！」我姐姐重复道。「要不是有我，你早就进了教堂墓地，而且一直待在那里了。是谁把你一手拉扯大的？
