He too has been watching all of these interpreters myself included— and look now, he comes to read, with that unearthly idiot face. Stand away again and hear him. Hark!
他也在看着所有这些解释天书的人——包括我在内——唔，瞧着，他在念起来了，那张天下无比的蠢脸。那么，再站开些，听听他吧。听着！
I look, you look, he looks; we look, ye look, they look.
我瞧，你瞧，他瞧；我们瞧，你们瞧，他们瞧。
Upon my soul, he's been studying Murray's Grammar! Improving his mind, poor fellow! But what's that he says now—hist!
我保准，他一直在研究默里（林德利·默里（1745—1826）——美国语法家，《默里语法》出版于一七九五年。）的《语法》呢！可怜的家伙，他正在增进他的知识——但是，他这会儿在说些什么呀——嘘！
I look, you look, he looks; we look, ye look, they look.
我瞧，你瞧，他瞧；我们瞧，你们瞧，他们瞧。
Why, he's getting it by heart—hist! again.
唔，他在死背呢——嘘！又在念啦。
I look, you look, he looks; we look, ye look, they look.
我瞧，你瞧，他瞧；我们瞧，你们瞧，他们瞧。
Well, that's funny.
噫，这倒是怪。
And I, you, and he; and we, ye, and they, are all bats; and I'm a crow, especially when I stand a'top of this pine tree here. Caw! caw! caw! caw! caw! caw! Ain't I a crow? And where's the scare-crow? There he stands; two bones stuck into a pair of old trowsers, and two more poked into the sleeves of an old jacket.
我，你，他；我们，你们，他们，大家都是蝙蝠；我是只乌鸦，尤其是当我高高地蹲到这棵松树冠上时。哇！哇！哇！哇！哇！哇！难道我不是乌鸦么？可稻草人在哪儿？啊，原来他就在那儿；两根骨头插在两只破裤脚管里，还有两根装在两只破袖筒里。
Wonder if he means me?—complimentary—poor lad!—I could go hang myself.
不知道他是不是指我说的？——真会说话！——可怜的伙伴！——我倒要去上吊了。
