What with entertainments and parties, the hours, the days, the weeks passed like lightning.
在娱乐和派对中，一个钟头又一个钟头，一天又一天，一个星期又一个星期，像闪电似地过去了。
"Oh, what a beautiful life this is!" said Pinocchio each time that, by chance, he met his friend Lamp-Wick.
“噢！多美的生活啊！”皮诺乔每次碰到小灯芯就说。
"Was I right or wrong?" answered Lamp-Wick. "And to think you did not want to come!
“我的话没错吧？”小灯芯回答说，“还说你不想来呢！
To think that even yesterday the idea came into your head to return home to see your Fairy and to start studying again!

If today you are free from pencils and books and school, you owe it to me, to my advice, to my care.

Do you admit it? Only true friends count, after all."

"It's true, Lamp-Wick, it's true. If today I am a really happy boy, it is all because of you.

And to think that the teacher, when speaking of you, used to say, 'Do not go with that Lamp-Wick! He is a bad companion and some day he will lead you astray.'"
可你知道老师跟我是怎么讲你的？他总是说：‘别跟小灯芯在一起，小灯芯是个坏伙伴，只会把你引入歧途。’”
