木偶奇遇记 第67期:匹诺曹顶替看门狗(3)
英语课
And, in fact, he was down in the yard in a twinkling and running toward the chicken coop.
事实上，一眨眼的功夫他就下到了院子里并跑向了鸡舍。
He opened the door, pulled out the Weasels one by one, and, after tying them in a bag, said to them in a happy voice: "You're in my hands at last! I could punish you now, but I'll wait!
他打开门，一只一只的把黄鼠狼拖了出来，把它们绑在了一个口袋里，高兴地对它们说：“你们终于落到我手里了！我本可以现在处罚你们，但我会等！
In the morning you may come with me to the inn and there you'll make a fine dinner for some hungry mortal.
早上我就把你们带到酒馆里，你们会被做成一顿丰盛的晚餐给饥饿的人类享用。
It is really too great an honor for you,one you do not deserve; but, as you see, I am really a very kind and generous man and I am going to do this for you!"
这份对你们来说是天大的光荣，一份你们承受不起的光荣，可就像你看到的那样，我如此善良大方，我会为你们这么做的！”
Then he went up to Pinocchio and began to pet and caress 1 him.
接着他走到皮诺乔身边，抚摸他安抚他。
"How did you ever find them out so quickly? And to think that Melampo, my faithful Melampo, never saw them in all these years!"
“你是怎么这么快就发现他们的？想想梅兰珀，我忠实的梅兰珀，这些年却一直什么也没发现！”
The Marionette 2 could have told, then and there, all he knew about the shameful 3 contract between the dog and the Weasels, but thinking of the dead dog, he said to himself: "Melampo is dead. What is the use of accusing him?
木偶本来可以把他知道的事情都说出来，狗和黄鼠狼之间可耻的协议。可他想起狗已经死了，于是自言自语说：“梅兰珀已经死了。何必控告死者呢？
The dead are gone and they cannot defend themselves. The best thing to do is to leave them in peace!"
逝者已逝，无法为自己辩护。最好还是让它们安息！”
