Indeed, after so long it would probably be wretched without walls about it to protect it, and darkness for its eyes, and its own excrement to sit in.
说实在的，他(她)对那种生活已经习以为常了，若是将他(她)放出来，失去了牢笼的保护，失去了他(她)的眼睛所习惯的黑暗，再也不能坐在自己的屎尿上，他(她)倒可能觉得难受。
Their tears at the bitter injustice dry when they begin to perceive the terrible justice of reality, and to accept it.
当那些青年人开始认识到现实的这种悲哀的公正性后，他们因看到那孩子的悲惨遭遇而悲伤的泪水便自动地干了。
Yet it is their tears and anger, the trying of their generosity and the acceptance of their helplessness, which are perhaps the true source of the splendor of their lives.

他们懂得怜悯。
It is the existence of the child, and their knowledge of its existence,that makes possible the nobility of their architecture,the poignancy of their music, the profundity of their science.

They know that if the wretched one were not There snivelling in the dark, the other one, the flute-player ,could make no joyful music as the young riders line up in their beauty for the race in the sunlight of the first morning of summer.
他们懂得，假如没有那个可怜的孩子在黑暗的地窖中悲泣，那另一个孩子，即那个吹木笛的孩子，就不可能在那些青年骑手骑着美丽的骏马迎着第一个夏日列队等候赛马开始时吹奏出那样欢快的乐曲来。
Now do you believe in them? Are they not more credible? But there is one more thing to tell, and this is quite incredible.
现在你相信我描述的这一切了吗?它们的可信度是否增加了一些?不过，我还有一件事情要讲，这件事情却是真有点令人难以置信。
At times one of the adolescent girls or boys who go to see the child does not go home to weep or rage, does not, in fact, go home at all.
有的时候，某个青年男女去看了那孩子之后并不回家痛苦流涕或是震怒发狂，事实上，他或她根本就不回家。
