Chapter 118

　　The poor little Donkey stuck out a long tongue and lickedhis nosefor a long time in an effort to take away the pain.

　　And what was his grief when on looking up toward the boxes,he sawthat the Fairy had disappeared!

　　He felt himself fainting, his eyes filled with tears,and he weptbitterly. No one knew it, however,least of all the Manager, who, cracking hiswhip, cried out:

　　"Bravo, Pinocchio! Now show us how gracefully26 you canjump through therings."Pinocchio tried two or three times, but each time hecame near thering, he found it more to his taste to gounder it. The fourth time, at a lookfrom his master heleaped through it, but as he did so his hind27 legs caughtin the ring and hefell to the floor in a heap.

　　When he got up, he was lame and could hardly limp asfar as thestable.

　　"Pinocchio! We want Pinocchio! We want the littleDonkey!"cried the boys from the orchestra, saddened by the accident.

　　No one saw Pinocchio again that evening.

可怜的驴子伸出一巴掌长的舌头，把鼻子舔了起码五分钟，以为这样可以减轻一点他感到的痛楚。
　　他再转过脸去一看，可是包厢空了，仙女已经不见了，他是多么的伤心和失望啊！……
　　他觉得好像要死了，热泪盈眶，开始痛哭，可是没有人明白他的意思，班主可不明白，反而抽着鞭子叫道：
　　“勇敢点，皮诺乔，现在让这些先生们看看，你能够多么优美地跳圈。”
　　皮诺乔试了两三次，可是每次到了圈圈前面，他不是跳过去，而是想从圈圈下面溜过去。最后他一跳是跳过去了，可是真倒霉，后腿勾住了圈圈，于是他在圈圈那一边扑通跌倒在地，缩成一团。
　　等到他站起来，脚已经瘸了，好容易才回到他的栏里，
　　“皮诺乔出来！我们要看驴子！驴子出来！”池座里的小朋友们大叫，对这件不幸事，隐感到怜悯和同情。
　　可是驴子这一夜再也没露脸。

Chapter 117

　　"Quickstep!" and Pinocchio obediently changed his step.

　　"Gallop!" and Pinocchio galloped23.

　　"Full speed!" and Pinocchio ran as fast as he could.

　　As he ran the master raised his arm and a pistol shot rangin theair.

　　At the shot, the little Donkey fell to the ground as ifhe werereally dead.

　　A shower of applause greeted the Donkey as he arose to his feet.

　　Cries and shouts and handclappings were heard on all sides.

　　At all that noise, Pinocchio lifted his head and raisedhis eyes.There, in front of him, in a box sat a beautifulwoman. Around her neck she worea long gold chain,from which hung a large medallion. On the medallionwaspainted the picture of a Marionette24.

　　"That picture is of me! That beautiful lady is myFairy!"said Pinocchio to himself, recognizing her. He felt so happythat hetried his best to cry out:

　　"Oh, my Fairy! My own Fairy!"But instead of words, aloud braying25 was heard in the theater,soloud and so long that all the spectators--men, women,and children, butespecially the children--burst out laughing.

　　Then, in order to teach the Donkey that it was notgood mannersto bray3 before the public, theManagerhit him on the nose with the handle of the whip.

　“开步走！”
　　于是驴子站起来，开始绕马戏场走。
　　走了一会儿，班主又叫：
　　“小步跑！”
　　皮诺乔听从命令，从走改为小步跑。
　　“大步跑！”
　　皮诺乔改为大步跑。
　　“飞跑！”
　　皮诺乔于是飞也似地跑。他正像快马一样跑的时候，班主举起一只胳膊，朝天开了一枪。
　　驴子一听枪响，马上装作受伤，直挺挺倒在地上，好像真的死了。
　　他在越来越响的掌声和叫好声中站起来，很自然就抬起头向上望望……他一望就看见一个包厢里有一位美丽的太太，脖子上挂着一串很大的金项链，项链上吊着一个画像。这是一个木偶的像。
　　“这是我的像啊！……这位太太是仙女！”皮诺乔心里说，马上认出她来了，他感到万分高兴，就想大叫：
　　“噢，我的好仙女！噢，我的好仙女！”
　　可是发出来的不是人话的而是驴叫声，叫得又响又长，戏院里所的观众，特别是小孩子，都哈哈大笑起来。
　　班主为了教训他，为了让他懂得，当着观众的面这样伊—呀，伊一呀大叫是没有规矩的，就用鞭子柄在他鼻子上狠狠打了一下。

　　The Manager, when introducing him to the public,added these words:

　　"Most honored audience! I shall not take your timetonight totell you of the great difficulties which I haveencountered while trying to tamethis animal, since Ifound him in the wilds of Africa. Observe, I beg ofyou,the savage19 look of his eye. All the meansused bycenturies of civilization in subduing20 wild beasts failed inthiscase. I had finally to resort to the gentle language of thewhip in order tobring him to my will. With all mykindness, however, I never succeeded ingaining my Donkey'slove. He is still today as savage as the day I foundhim. Hestill fears and hates me. But I have found inhim one great redeeming21 feature. Do you see thislittlebump on his forehead? It is this bump which gives himhis great talent ofdancing and using his feet as nimblyas a human being. Admire him, O signori,and enjoyyourselves.

Before starting your performance,salute youraudience!"Pinocchio obediently bent22 his two knees to the groundandremained kneeling until the Manager, with the crackof the whip, cried sharply:"Walk!"The Donkey lifted himself on his four feet and walkedaround thering. A few minutes passed and again thevoice of the Manager called:

　　班主说到这里，再一次深深鞠躬，然后转身对皮诺乔说：
　　“卖点劲！皮诺乔！在表演以前，先对在座诸位尊贵的观众，骑士们，女士们，小朋友们行个礼吧！”

Chapter 114

　　He tried the straw, but, as he chewed away at it, henoticed to hisgreat disappointment that it tasted neitherlike rice nor like macaroni.

　　"Patience!" he repeated as he chewed. "If onlymymisfortune might serve as a lesson to disobedient boyswho refuse to study!Patience! Have patience!""Patience indeed!" shouted his masterjust then, as hecame into the stable. "Do you think, perhaps, mylittleDonkey, that I have brought you here only to give youfood and drink? Oh,no! You are to help me earn somefine gold pieces, do you hear? Come along, now.I amgoing to teach you to jump and bow, to dance a waltz anda polka, and evento stand on your head."Poor Pinocchio, whether he liked it or not, had tolearnall these wonderful things; but it took him three longmonths and cost himmany, many lashings before he waspronounced perfect.

　　The day came at last when Pinocchio's master wasable to announce anextraordinary performance. Theannouncements, posted all around the town, andwrittenin large letters, read thus:

　　GREAT SPECTACLE TONIGHTLEAPS AND EXERCISES BY THE GREAT ARTISTSANDTHE FAMOUS HORSESof theCOMPANYFirst Public Appearanceof theFAMOUSDONKEYcalledPINOCCHIOTHE STAR OF THE DANCEThe Theater will be as Light asDayThat night, as you can well imagine, the theater was filledto overflowing11 one hour before the show wasscheduled to start.

　　“这干草还不坏。”他心里说，“可我要是继续读书，我就好得多了！……这时候我就不是吃干草，可以吃新鲜的面包头，吃一大片香肠了！……没法子，只好忍耐着！……”
　　第二天早晨他醒来，马上在槽里找干草，可是找不到，因为昨天夜里都吃光了。
　　于是他吃一小口切碎的麦秸。他嚼着嚼着，觉得切碎麦秸的味道既完全不像米兰式炒饭，又根本不像那不勒斯式通心粉。
　　“没法子，只好忍耐着！”他又说了一遍，继续嚼，“我的不幸要是能给所有不听话和不想读书的孩子作为教训，那就好了。没法子，只好忍耐着！……真没法子，只好忍耐着！……”
　　“忍耐一点吧！”主人这时候正好进畜栏，叫着说，“我的宝贝小驴子，你以为我把你买来，只是为了给你吃给你喝吗？我把你买来是为了让你干活，是为了让你给我挣一大笔钱。好好干吧！你跟我到马戏场去，我来教你跳圈，用头撞破纸桶，跳圆舞和波尔卡舞，用后腿直立起来，”
　　可怜的皮诺乔不管高兴还是被迫，只好学各种了不起的玩意儿，可为了学会这种玩意儿，他得学上三个月，身上挨了无数下皮鞭。
　　终于到了这一天，他的主人可以宣布演出—场真正惊人的节目了，五颜六色的海报贴满大街小巷各个角落，海报上写着：

　　盛大演出

　　今夜
　　本团全体演员
　　还有双双的骏马
　　演出素负有盛誉的跳跃等等
　　各种精彩节目

　　Pinocchio screamed with pain and as he screamed he brayed:

　　"Haw! Haw! Haw! I can't digest straw!""Then eat thehay!" answered his master, who understoodthe Donkey perfectly9.

　　"Haw! Haw! Haw! Hay gives me a headache!""Do youpretend, by any chance, that I should feed you duckor chicken?" asked theman again, and, angrier than ever,he gave poor Pinocchio another lashing10.

　　At that second beating, Pinocchio became very quiet and said nomore.

　　After that, the door of the stable was closed and hewas left alone.It was many hours since he had eatenanything and he started to yawn fromhunger. As heyawned, he opened a mouth as big as an oven.

　　Finally, not finding anything else in the manger,he tasted the hay.After tasting it, he chewed it well,closed his eyes, and swallowed it.

　　"This hay is not bad," he said to himself. "Buthowmuch happier I should be if I had studied! Just now,instead of hay, I shouldbe eating some good breadand butter. Patience!"Next morning, when heawoke, Pinocchio looked inthe manger for more hay, but it was all gone. Hehadeaten it all during the night.

皮诺乔痛得大哭大叫，嚷嚷着说：
　　“伊—呀，伊一呀，麦秸我消化不了！……”
　　“那你吃干草！”主人很懂很驴子话，回答说。
　　“伊—呀，伊—呀，干草会叫我肚子痛！……”
　　“依你说，像你这样一头驴子，我该孝敬你鸡胗肝和去骨冻鸡了？”主人说着，更加生气，又给了他一鞭。
　　皮诺乔挨了这第二鞭，学乖了，马上住口，一句话也不再说了。
　　栏门于是关上，皮诺乔独自呆在里面。因为好多个钟头没吃东西了，他想吃得要命，就打起哈欠来。他一打哈欠，就张大他像炉口似的嘴巴。
　　他在槽里什么别的东西也找不到，最后只好看点干草，把干草嚼烂以后，闭上眼睛硬给咽了下去。

　　Lazy boys, boys who hated books, boys who wanted torun away fromhome, boys who were tired of school--allthese were his joy and his fortune. Hetook them withhim to the Land of Toys and let them enjoy themselvesto theirheart's content. When, after months of all playand no work, they became littledonkeys, he sold them onthe market place. In a few years, he had become amillionaire.

　　Pinocchio, I can tell you, met with great hardshipseven from thefirst day.

　　After putting him in a stable, his new master filled his manger withstraw, but Pinocchio, after tasting a mouthful,spat it out.

　　Then the man filled the manger with hay.

　　But Pinocchio did not like that any better.

　　"Ah, you don't like hay either?" he cried angrily.

　　"Wait, my pretty Donkey, I'll teach you not to be soparticular."Without more ado, he took a whip and gave the Donkeya hearty8 blow across the legs.

我的小读者们，诸位现在想必知道，用车带他们来的人是干什么的了？这个坏家伙脸上涂牛奶和蜜蜂一样甜，老赶着一辆车到处去转，一路上答应这样答应那样，说尽甜言蜜语，把讨厌书本和学校的懒孩子全都收罗到车上，带到这个“玩儿国”来，让他们快快活活地玩上一段日子。等到这些受骗上当的可怜孩子老这么不读书，一个劲地光是玩，最后变成驴子以后，他就又高兴又满意地成了他们的主人，把他们牵到集市和市场上去卖。这样不到几年，他捞到了许多钱，成了一个百万富翁。
　　小灯芯的遭遇我不知道。我只知道皮诺乔一开头就过的是受尽虐待、苦不堪言的日子。
　　他一给牵进畜栏，新主人就在槽里撒上麦秸。可皮诺乔咬了一口尝了尝，把它吐出来了。
　　主人嘟哝两声，又在槽里撒上干草。可干草皮诺乔也不爱吃。
　　“啊，干草你也不爱吃？”主人生气地叫起来，“好吧，我的宝贝驴子，就算你还有点耍脾气，瞧我来制服你！……”
　　他为了教训教训皮诺乔，马上在他腿上抽了一鞭。

Pinocchio,having become a Donkey,is bought by the owner of a Circus,who wants to teachhim to do tricks.

　　The Donkey becomes lame1 and is soldto a man who wantsto use his skinfor a drumheadVery sad and downcast were the two poor littlefellowsas they stood and looked at each other. Outside the room,the Little Mangrew more and more impatient, and finallygave the door such a violent kick thatit flew open. Withhis usual sweet smile on his lips, he looked at PinocchioandLamp-Wick and said to them:

　　"Fine work, boys! You have brayed2 well, so well thatI recognizedyour voices immediately, and here I am."On hearing this, the two Donkeysbowed their heads in shame,dropped their ears, and put their tails betweentheir legs.

　　At first, the Little Man petted and caressed4 them andsmoothed down theirhairy coats. Then he took out acurrycomb and worked over them till they shonelike glass.

　　Satisfied with the looks of the two little animals,he bridled6 them and took them to a marketplace far awayfrom the Land of Toys, in the hope of selling them at agoodprice.

　　In fact, he did not have to wait very long for an offer.

Lamp-Wickwas bought by a farmer whose donkey had diedthe day before. Pinocchio went tothe owner of a circus,who wanted to teach him to do tricks for his audiences.

那人看见门不开，就狠狠地一脚把门踢开了，走进屋子，他还是那么笑嘻嘻地对皮诺乔和小灯芯说：
　　“能干的孩子！你们学驴子叫学得不坏，我马上认出了你们的声音，因此我就上这儿来了。”
　　听了他的话，两头驴子十分泄气，耷拉着头，垂下耳朵，夹紧尾巴，
　　那人先是抚摸他们，拍拍他们，捋他们的毛，接着拿出一把刷子，动手把他们的毛刷亮。
　　他使劲地刷呀刷呀，等到把他们刷得毛光光的象两面镜子，就给他们套上辔头缰绳，牵到市场上去，想卖掉他们捞进一笔大钱。
　　的确，买主马上就来了。
　　小灯芯让一个农民给买去，这农民的驴子昨天正好死了。买皮诺乔的是个马戏班班主。他买皮诺乔是为了训练他，让他同马戏班的其他动物一起又跳又舞。

Chapter 110

　　And then a scene took place which is hard to believe,but it is alltoo true. The Marionette and his friend,Lamp-Wick, when they saw each otherboth stricken by thesame misfortune, instead of feeling sorrowful andashamed,began to poke12 fun at each other, and aftermuch nonsense,they ended by bursting out into hearty13 laughter.

　　They laughed and laughed, and laughed again--laughedtill theyached--laughed till they cried.

　　But all of a sudden Lamp-Wick stopped laughing. He totteredandalmost fell. Pale as a ghost, he turned to Pinocchio and said:

　　"Help, help, Pinocchio!""What is thematter?""Oh, help me! I can no longer stand up.""I can'teither," cried Pinocchio; and his laughterturned to tears as he stumbledabout helplessly.

　　They had hardly finished speaking, when both of them fellon allfours and began running and jumping around the room.

　　As they ran, their arms turned into legs, their faces lengthenedintosnouts and their backs became covered with long gray hairs.

　　This was humiliation14 enough, but the mosthorriblemoment was the one in which the two poor creatures felttheir tailsappear. Overcome with shame and grief,they tried to cry and bemoan15 their fate.

　　But what is done can't be undone! Instead of moansand cries, theyburst forth16 into loud donkey brays17, whichsounded very much like,"Haw! Haw! Haw!"At that moment, a loud knocking was heard at thedoorand a voice called to them:

　　"Open! I am the Little Man, the driver of the wagonwhichbrought you here. Open, I say, or beware!"

这时候出现的场面要不是千真万确的，就会叫人觉得不可相信，这个场面就是：皮诺乔和小灯芯—看见两个人遭到的都是同样的不幸，就不但不觉得害臊和伤心，反而拼命盯着对方长得老长的耳朵看，大开玩笑，最后哈哈大笑起来。
　　他们笑啊，笑啊，笑啊，只要还能站住，就一个劲儿地笑个不停。可小灯芯正笑得起劲，忽然住了笑，摇摇摆摆，脸色大变，对他的朋友说：
　　“救命啊，救命啊，皮诺乔！”
　　“你怎么啦？”
　　“唉哟！我再也站不住了。”
　　“我也站不住了，”皮诺乔也哭着摇摇晃晃地叫起来。
　　他们正叫嚷间，两个都在地上趴了下来，用两手两脚爬着走，开始在屋子里团团转地跑了起来。他们跑着跑着，胳膊变成了腿，脸也拉长，变成了驴子脸，背上长满了亮灰色的毛，还夹着黑斑点。
　　诸位知道，这两个倒霉家伙最糟糕的是哪一个时刻吗？最糟糕最丢脸的时刻就是觉得屁股后面长出了尾巴。他们又害臊又伤心，开始哇哇大哭，抱怨命苦。
　　可是到头来连抱怨叫苦也办不到了！他们发出来的不是叫苦抱怨的话，而是驴子的叫声。他们同声大叫：伊—呀，伊—呀，伊—呀。
　　这时候外面有人敲门，说：
　　“开门！是我，带你们上这儿来的赶车人。马上开门，要不你们就倒霉了！”©

　　At the sight of that bag, Pinocchio felt slightly happierand thoughtto himself:

　　"My friend must be suffering from the same sicknessthat I am! Iwonder if he, too, has donkey fever?"But pretending he had seen nothing,he asked with a smile:

　　"How are you, my dear Lamp-Wick?""Very well. Like amouse in a Parmesan cheese.""Is that really true?""Whyshould I lie to you?""I beg your pardon, my friend, but why then areyouwearing that cotton bag over your ears?""The doctor has ordered itbecause one of my knees hurts.

　　And you, dear Marionette, why are you wearing that cotton bagdown toyour nose?""The doctor has ordered it because I have bruised9 my foot.""Oh, mypoor Pinocchio!""Oh, my poor Lamp-Wick!"An embarrassingly longsilence followed these words,during which time the two friends looked at eachotherin a mocking way.

　　Finally the Marionette, in a voice sweet as honey andsoft as a flute10, said to his companion:

　　"Tell me, Lamp-Wick, dear friend, have you eversuffered froman earache11?""Never! Andyou?""Never! Still, since this morning my ear has been torturingme.""So has mine.""Yours, too? And which ear isit?""Both of them. And yours?""Both of them, too. I wonderif it could be the same sickness.""I'm afraid it is.""Willyou do me a favor, Lamp-Wick?""Gladly! With my wholeheart.""Will you let me see your ears?""Why not? But beforeI show you mine, I want to see yours,dear Pinocchio.""No. You mustshow yours first.""No, my dear! Yours first, thenmine.""Well, then," said the Marionette, "let us make acontract.""Let's hear the contract!""Let us take off ourcaps together. All right?""All right.""Readythen!"Pinocchio began to count, "One! Two! Three!"At the word"Three!" the two boys pulled off theircaps and threw them high inair.

皮诺乔一看见帽子，就觉得心宽一些，马上想：
　　“我这位朋友说不定也是跟我害一样的病吧？他也在发驴子的高烧？……”
　　他装作什么也没看见，微笑着问他说：
　　“你好吗？我亲爱的小灯芯？”
　　“很好，就像一只耗子住在一块干酪里。”
　　“你这是真话吗？”
　　“我干吗要说谎？”
　　“对不起，朋友，你头上干吗戴那么一顶棉的大尖帽，把你的耳朵都盖住了？”
　　大夫吩咐我这么办，因为我这个膝盖不舒服。亲爱的木偶，那你呢？干吗也戴这么一顶棉的大尖帽，一直拉到鼻子底下呀？”
　　“也是大夫吩咐的，因为我一只脚擦伤了。”
　　“噢，可怜的皮诺乔！……”
　　“噢，可怜的小灯芯！……”
　　讲完这番话以后，两个朋友老半天不说话，只是用讥笑的眼光你看着我，我看着你。
　　最后木偶用很甜很细的声音对他的同学说：
　　“我很想知道，请你告诉我，我亲爱的小灯芯，你从来没害过耳病吗？”
　　“没有！……你呢？”
　　“没有！不过从今天早上起，有一只耳朵叫我很不痛快。”
　　“我也是的。”
　　“你也是？……你哪只耳朵不舒服？”
　　“两只都不舒服。你呢？”
　　“也是两只。害同样的病吗？”
　　“我怕是的。”
　　“你肯答应我一件事吗？小灯芯？”
　　“很乐意！打心底里高兴。”
　　“你让我看看你的耳朵好吗？”
　　“有什么不好？可我想先看看你的，亲爱的皮诺乔。”
　　“不行、先看你的。”
　　“不，不，亲爱的！先看你的，再看我的！”
　　“那么，”木偶说，“咱俩订个君子协定。”
　　“先听听协定的内容。”
　　“咱俩同时摘帽子，同意吗？”
　　“同意。”
　　“好，准备！”
　　皮诺乔开始大声数：
　　“一！二！三！”
　　“一说到三，两个孩子同时摘下帽子，扔到半空。
