The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete — Page 11
最终，敌人的母亲出现了，骂汤姆是个坏孩子、粗野的孩子，并命令他离开。于是他走了，但他说他要"等着瞧"，要"对付"那个男孩。
At last the enemy's mother appeared, and called Tom a bad, vicious, vulgar child, and ordered him away. So he went away; but he said he "'lowed" to "lay" for that boy.
那天晚上他回家很晚，当他小心翼翼地从窗户爬进去时，却遭遇了一个埋伏——正是他的姑妈；当她看到他衣服的状况时，她要把他的周六假日变成苦役般的禁闭这一决心变得坚如磐石、毫不动摇。
He got home pretty late that night, and when he climbed cautiously in at the window, he uncovered an ambuscade, in the person of his aunt; and when she saw the state his clothes were in her resolution to turn his Saturday holiday into captivity at hard labor became adamantine in its firmness.
