拙译《木偶奇遇记》230417
In the morning, bright and early, Pinocchio started for school. Imagine what the boys said when they saw a Marionette enter the classroom! They laughed until they cried. Everyone played tricks on him. One pulled his hat off, another tugged at his coat, a third tried to paint a mustache under his nose. One even attempted to tie strings to his feet and his hands to make him dance. For a while Pinocchio was very calm and quiet. Finally, however, he lost all patience and turning to his tormentors. 晨间,匹诺曹兴高采烈地早早出发上学堂去了。想象一下见到有个提线木偶进了教室男孩儿们说了些什么!他们放声大笑一直到笑出眼睛水来。每个人都捉弄他。有人拽下他的帽子,有人使劲扯他的外套,还有人要在他鼻子下面画个胡子。更有甚者试着在他双手双脚绑上绳子去操纵他跳舞。排头(刚开始/起初)那一会儿匹诺曹还很镇定冷静,然而到了最后,他忍无可忍开始直面对他施暴的杂碎。
