Without another word, he swam swiftly away in an effort to reach land as soon as possible. All at once he noticed that Geppetto was shivering and shaking as if with a high fever.
查看中文翻译
Poor Pinocchio pretended to be peaceful and contented, but he was far from that. He was beginning to feel discouraged, his strength was leaving him, and his breathing was becoming more and more labored. He felt he could not go on much longer, and the shore was still far away.
查看中文翻译
"Courage, Father! In a few moments we shall be safe on land."
查看中文翻译
"But where is that blessed shore?" asked the little old man, more and more worried as he tried to pierce the faraway shadows. "Here I am searching on all sides and I see nothing but sea and sky."
查看中文翻译
"I see the shore," said the Marionette. "Remember, Father, that I am like a cat. I see better at night than by day."
查看中文翻译
Was he shivering from fear or from cold? Who knows? Perhaps a little of both. But Pinocchio, thinking his father was frightened, tried to comfort him by saying:
查看中文翻译
He swam a few more strokes. Then he turned to Geppetto and cried out weakly:
查看中文翻译
"Are we too heavy?" asked Pinocchio.
查看中文翻译
"Help me, Father! Help, for I am dying!"
查看中文翻译
"I am the Tunny, your companion in the Shark's stomach."
查看中文翻译
"I imitated your example. You are the one who showed me the way and after you went, I followed."
查看中文翻译
"Heavy? Not in the least. You are as light as sea-shells," answered the Tunny, who was as large as a two-year-old horse.
查看中文翻译
Geppetto and Pinocchio, as you can easily imagine, did not refuse the invitation; indeed, instead of hanging onto the tail, they thought it better to climb on the Tunny's back.
查看中文翻译
"Exactly. And you?"
查看中文翻译
Father and son were really about to drown when they heard a voice like a guitar out of tune call from the sea:
查看中文翻译
"It is I and my poor father."
查看中文翻译
"I know the voice. You are Pinocchio."
查看中文翻译
"Tunny, you arrived at the right moment! I implore you, for the love you bear your children, the little Tunnies, to help us, or we are lost!"
查看中文翻译
"With great pleasure indeed. Hang onto my tail, both of you, and let me lead you. In a twinkling you will be safe on land."
查看中文翻译
"And how did you escape?"
查看中文翻译
"What is the trouble?"
查看中文翻译
In the meantime day had dawned.
查看中文翻译
The Tunny stuck his nose out of the water and Pinocchio knelt on the sand and kissed him most affectionately on his cheek. At this warm greeting, the poor Tunny, who was not used to such tenderness, wept like a child. He felt so embarrassed and ashamed that he turned quickly, plunged into the sea, and disappeared.
查看中文翻译
"Dear friend, you have saved my father, and I have not enough words with which to thank you! Allow me to embrace you as a sign of my eternal gratitude."
查看中文翻译
As soon as they reached the shore, Pinocchio was the first to jump to the ground to help his old father. Then he turned to the fish and said to him:
查看中文翻译
"Lean on my arm, dear Father, and let us go. We will walk very, very slowly, and if we feel tired we can rest by the wayside."
查看中文翻译
"And where are we going?" asked Geppetto.
查看中文翻译
"To look for a house or a hut, where they will be kind enough to give us a bite of bread and a bit of straw to sleep on."
查看中文翻译
Pinocchio offered his arm to Geppetto, who was so weak he could hardly stand, and said to him:
查看中文翻译
"Believe us! Today we are truly poor and starving."
查看中文翻译
It was the Fox and the Cat, but one could hardly recognize them, they looked so miserable. The Cat, after pretending to be blind for so many years had really lost the sight of both eyes. And the Fox, old, thin, and almost hairless, had even lost his tail. That sly thief had fallen into deepest poverty, and one day he had been forced to sell his beautiful tail for a bite to eat.
查看中文翻译
"Sick!" repeated the Cat.
查看中文翻译
They had not taken a hundred steps when they saw two rough-looking individuals sitting on a stone begging for alms.
查看中文翻译
"Starving!" repeated the Cat.
查看中文翻译
"Addio, false friends. Remember the old proverb which says: 'Bad wheat always makes poor bread!'"
查看中文翻译
"Addio, false friends!" answered the Marionette. "You cheated me once, but you will never catch me again."
查看中文翻译
"Have mercy on us!"
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Pinocchio," he cried in a tearful voice. "Give us some alms, we beg of you! We are old, tired, and sick."
查看中文翻译
"If you are poor; you deserve it! Remember the old proverb which says: 'Stolen money never bears fruit.' Addio, false friends."
查看中文翻译
"On us."
查看中文翻译
"A poor father and a poorer son, without food and with no roof to cover them," answered the Marionette.
查看中文翻译
Father and son looked up to the ceiling, and there on a beam sat the Talking Cricket.
查看中文翻译
"Abandon us," repeated the Cat.
查看中文翻译
"Addio, false friends. Remember the old proverb: 'Whoever steals his neighbor's shirt, usually dies without his own.'"
查看中文翻译
They went and knocked at the door.
查看中文翻译
"Who is it?" said a little voice from within.
查看中文翻译
"Turn the key and the door will open," said the same little voice.
查看中文翻译
"Someone must live in that little hut," said Pinocchio. "Let us see for ourselves."
查看中文翻译
Waving good-by to them, Pinocchio and Geppetto calmly went on their way. After a few more steps, they saw, at the end of a long road near a clump of trees, a tiny cottage built of straw.
查看中文翻译
"Here I am, up here!"
查看中文翻译
"Do not abandon us."
查看中文翻译
"Oh -- ho, where is the owner of the hut?" cried Pinocchio, very much surprised.
查看中文翻译
Pinocchio turned the key and the door opened. As soon as they went in, they looked here and there and everywhere but saw no one.
查看中文翻译
"You are right, dear Cricket. Throw a hammer at me now. I deserve it! But spare my poor old father."
查看中文翻译
"Oh, now you call me your dear Cricket, but do you remember when you threw your hammer at me to kill me?"
查看中文翻译
"I am going to spare both the father and the son. I have only wanted to remind you of the trick you long ago played upon me, to teach you that in this world of ours we must be kind and courteous to others, if we want to find kindness and courtesy in our own days of trouble."
查看中文翻译
"This cottage was given to me yesterday by a little Goat with blue hair."
查看中文翻译
"I don't know."
查看中文翻译
"Oh, my dear Cricket," said Pinocchio, bowing politely.
查看中文翻译
"You are right, little Cricket, you are more than right, and I shall remember the lesson you have taught me. But will you tell how you succeeded in buying this pretty little cottage?"
查看中文翻译
"And where did the Goat go?" asked Pinocchio.
查看中文翻译
"She will never come back. Yesterday she went away bleating sadly, and it seemed to me she said: 'Poor Pinocchio, I shall never see him again… the Shark must have eaten him by this time.'"
查看中文翻译
"And when will she come back?"
查看中文翻译
"Tell me, little Cricket, where shall I find a glass of milk for my poor Father?"
查看中文翻译
"Three fields away from here lives Farmer John. He has some cows. Go there and he will give you what you want."
查看中文翻译
"Very bad, my Marionette," answered the Farmer, "very bad. If you have no penny, I have no milk."
查看中文翻译
"A full glass costs a penny. First give me the penny."
查看中文翻译
"Were those her real words? Then it was she -- it was -- my dear little Fairy," cried out Pinocchio, sobbing bitterly. After he had cried a long time, he wiped his eyes and then he made a bed of straw for old Geppetto. He laid him on it and said to the Talking Cricket:
查看中文翻译
"I want a full glass."
查看中文翻译
Pinocchio ran all the way to Farmer John's house. The Farmer said to him:
查看中文翻译
"Too bad," said Pinocchio and started to go.
查看中文翻译
"How much milk do you want?"
查看中文翻译
"I have no penny," answered Pinocchio, sad and ashamed.
查看中文翻译
"Then go to that well you see yonder and draw one hundred bucketfuls of water."
查看中文翻译
"Wait a moment," said Farmer John. "Perhaps we can come to terms. Do you know how to draw water from a well?"
查看中文翻译
"I can try."
查看中文翻译
And bending low over him, he asked: "Who are you?"
查看中文翻译
"Oh, my poor Lamp-Wick," said Pinocchio in a faint voice, as he wiped his eyes with some straw he had picked up from the ground.
查看中文翻译
"Until today," said the Farmer, "my donkey has drawn the water for me, but now that poor animal is dying."
查看中文翻译
"I am satisfied."
查看中文翻译
Then he closed his eyes and died.
查看中文翻译
"Very well."
查看中文翻译
"After you have finished, I shall give you a glass of warm sweet milk."
查看中文翻译
As soon as Pinocchio went into the stable, he spied a little Donkey lying on a bed of straw in the corner of the stable. He was worn out from hunger and too much work. After looking at him a long time, he said to himself: "I know that Donkey! I have seen him before."
查看中文翻译
"Will you take me to see him?" said Pinocchio.
查看中文翻译
At this question, the Donkey opened weary, dying eyes and answered in the same tongue: "I am Lamp-Wick."
查看中文翻译
Farmer John took the Marionette to the well and showed him how to draw the water. Pinocchio set to work as well as he knew how, but long before he had pulled up the one hundred buckets, he was tired out and dripping with perspiration. He had never worked so hard in his life.
查看中文翻译
"Gladly."
查看中文翻译
"A classmate of mine."
查看中文翻译
"Do you feel so sorry for a little donkey that has cost you nothing?" said the Farmer. "What should I do -- I, who have paid my good money for him?"
查看中文翻译
"But, you see, he was my friend."
查看中文翻译
"What," shouted Farmer John, bursting out laughing. "What! You had donkeys in your school? How you must have studied!"
查看中文翻译
In the evening the Marionette studied by lamplight. With some of the money he had earned, he bought himself a secondhand volume that had a few pages missing, and with that he learned to read in a very short time. As far as writing was concerned, he used a long stick at one end of which he had whittled a long, fine point. Ink he had none, so he used the juice of blackberries or cherries. Little by little his diligence was rewarded. He succeeded, not only in his studies, but also in his work, and a day came when he put enough money together to keep his old father comfortable and happy. Besides this, he was able to save the great amount of fifty pennies. With it he wanted to buy himself a new suit.
查看中文翻译
"Your friend?"
查看中文翻译
The Marionette, ashamed and hurt by those words, did not answer, but taking his glass of milk returned to his father.
查看中文翻译
From that day on, for more than five months, Pinocchio got up every morning just as dawn was breaking and went to the farm to draw water. And every day he was given a glass of warm milk for his poor old father, who grew stronger and better day by day. But he was not satisfied with this. He learned to make baskets of reeds and sold them. With the money he received, he and his father were able to keep from starving.
查看中文翻译
Among other things, he built a rolling chair, strong and comfortable, to take his old father out for an airing on bright, sunny days.
查看中文翻译
"I am going to the market place to buy myself a coat, a cap, and a pair of shoes. When I come back I'll be so dressed up, you will think I am a rich man."
查看中文翻译
One day he said to his father:
查看中文翻译
He ran out of the house and up the road to the village, laughing and singing. Suddenly he heard his name called, and looking around to see whence the voice came, he noticed a large snail crawling out of some bushes.
查看中文翻译
"Do you remember the Snail that lived with the Fairy with Azure Hair? Do you not remember how she opened the door for you one night and gave you something to eat?"
查看中文翻译
"Don't you recognize me?" said the Snail.
查看中文翻译
"Yes and no."
查看中文翻译
At all these questions, tumbling out one after another, the Snail answered, calm as ever:
查看中文翻译
"I remember everything," cried Pinocchio. "Answer me quickly, pretty Snail, where have you left my Fairy? What is she doing? Has she forgiven me? Does she remember me? Does she still love me? Is she very far away from here? May I see her?"
查看中文翻译
"My dear Pinocchio, the Fairy is lying ill in a hospital."
查看中文翻译
"In a hospital?"
查看中文翻译
"Really? Oh, how sorry I am! My poor, dear little Fairy! If I had a million I should run to her with it! But I have only fifty pennies. Here they are. I was just going to buy some clothes. Here, take them, little Snail, and give them to my good Fairy."
查看中文翻译
"What does that matter? I should like to sell these rags I have on to help her more. Go, and hurry. Come back here within a couple of days and I hope to have more money for you! Until today I have worked for my father. Now I shall have to work for my mother also. Good-by, and I hope to see you soon."
查看中文翻译
"What about the new clothes?"
查看中文翻译
"And where is the new suit?"
查看中文翻译
"I couldn't find one to fit me. I shall have to look again some other day."
查看中文翻译
"Yes, indeed. She has been stricken with trouble and illness, and she hasn't a penny left with which to buy a bite of bread."
查看中文翻译
The Snail, much against her usual habit, began to run like a lizard under a summer sun.
查看中文翻译
That night, Pinocchio, instead of going to bed at ten o'clock waited until midnight, and instead of making eight baskets, he made sixteen.
查看中文翻译
When Pinocchio returned home, his father asked him:
查看中文翻译
At that very moment, Pinocchio awoke and opened wide his eyes.
查看中文翻译
What was his surprise and his joy when, on looking himself over, he saw that he was no longer a Marionette, but that he had become a real live boy! He looked all about him and instead of the usual walls of straw, he found himself in a beautifully furnished little room, the prettiest he had ever seen. In a twinkling, he jumped down from his bed to look on the chair standing near. There, he found a new suit, a new hat, and a pair of shoes.
查看中文翻译
As soon as he was dressed, he put his hands in his pockets and pulled out a little leather purse on which were written the following words: « The Fairy with Azure Hair returns fifty pennies to her dear Pinocchio with many thanks for his kind heart ». The Marionette opened the purse to find the money, and behold -- there were fifty gold coins!
查看中文翻译
After that he went to bed and fell asleep. As he slept, he dreamed of his Fairy, beautiful, smiling, and happy, who kissed him and said to him, "Bravo, Pinocchio! In reward for your kind heart, I forgive you for all your old mischief. Boys who love and take good care of their parents when they are old and sick, deserve praise even though they may not be held up as models of obedience and good behavior. Keep on doing so well, and you will be happy."
查看中文翻译
Pinocchio ran to the mirror. He hardly recognized himself. The bright face of a tall boy looked at him with wide-awake blue eyes, dark brown hair and happy, smiling lips.
查看中文翻译
"And where is Father?" he cried suddenly. He ran into the next room, and there stood Geppetto, grown years younger overnight, spick and span in his new clothes and gay as a lark in the morning. He was once more Mastro Geppetto, the wood carver, hard at work on a lovely picture frame, decorating it with flowers and leaves, and heads of animals.
查看中文翻译
Surrounded by so much splendor, the Marionette hardly knew what he was doing. He rubbed his eyes two or three times, wondering if he were still asleep or awake and decided he must be awake.
查看中文翻译
"Father, Father, what has happened? Tell me if you can," cried Pinocchio, as he ran and jumped on his Father's neck.
查看中文翻译
"This sudden change in our house is all your doing, my dear Pinocchio," answered Geppetto.
查看中文翻译
"What have I to do with it?"
查看中文翻译
"Just this. When bad boys become good and kind, they have the power of making their homes gay and new with happiness."
查看中文翻译
"There he is," answered Geppetto. And he pointed to a large Marionette leaning against a chair, head turned to one side, arms hanging limp, and legs twisted under him.
查看中文翻译
After a long, long look, Pinocchio said to himself with great content:
查看中文翻译
"I wonder where the old Pinocchio of wood has hidden himself?"
查看中文翻译
"How ridiculous I was as a Marionette! And how happy I am, now that I have become a real boy!"
查看中文翻译
