拙译《木偶奇遇记》230426
What was his disgust, however, when on tasting the food, he found the bread to be made of chalk, the chicken of cardboard, and the brilliant fruit of colored alabaster! He wanted to cry, he wanted to give himself up to despair, he wanted to throw away the tray and all that was on it. Instead, either from pain or weakness, he fell to the floor in a dead faint. When he regained his senses, he found himself stretched out on a sofa and the Fairy was seated near him. 然而,他为什么会反胃呢?当他品尝食物的时候,他发现面包原来是白垩做的,鸡肉是硬纸板做的,闪亮晃眼的水果是涂了色的雪花石膏做的。他只想放声大哭,他想自暴自弃不抱希望,他想扔掉这个盘子以及上面的一切。而相反,要么是出于痛苦,要么是由于虚弱,他昏厥倒地不省人事。当他恢复知觉的时候他发现自己躺在一张沙发上面,而仙子就坐在他近旁。
