Where thou feelest tingling 1 life; there, exactly there, there to a hair, do I. Is't a riddle 2? 那就是使你感到有激动的生命的地方；这地方；就是这地方，真是分毫不差，我就是这么想。这难道是个谜么？
I should humbly 3 call it a poser, sir. Hist, then. 我要斗胆管它叫个难猜的谜，先生。听着，那么，
How dost thou know that some entire, living, thinking thing may not be invisibly and uninterpenetratingly standing 4 precisely 5 where thou now standest; 你怎么会知道，在你现在站着的地方不正有个有生气、有思想的东西，人不知鬼不觉地站在那里，

In thy most solitary 6 hours, then, dost thou not fear eavesdroppers? Hold, don't speak! 在你最孤寂的时分，难道你不怕有人在偷听么？住嘴，别开口！

then, why mayest not thou, carpenter, feel the fiery 7 pains of hell for ever, and without a body? Hah! 那么，木匠，如果你连身体都没有了，怎么你不会永远对地狱感到非常苦痛呢？哈！
Good Lord! Truly, sir, if it comes to that, I must calculate over again; I think I didn't carry a small figure, sir. 哎唷！真的，先生，如果是那样的话，我一定要再核计一番；我想我是马马虎虎的，先生。
Look ye, pudding-heads should never grant premises 8.—How long before this leg is done? 听着，对牛弹琴叫白搭——。这条腿还得多久才做好？
Perhaps an hour, sir. 也许得一个钟头，先生。
Bungle 9 away at it then, and bring it to me (turns to go). Oh, Life. 那么就草草把它弄好算啦，弄好后就送给我，（转身就走）生命啊，
