“那是什么玩意儿？”他问道，

"What's Fern got?"

“弗恩得到什么了？”

"She's got a guest for breakfast," said Mrs. Arable.

“她来了位吃早饭的客人，” 阿拉布尔太太说，

"Wash your hands and face, Avery!"

“你去洗手洗脸吧，艾弗里！”

"Let's see it!" said Avery, setting his gun down.

“让我看看它，”艾弗里放下枪说，

"You call that miserable thing a pig?

“这么可怜的小东西也能叫做猪？

That's a fine specimen of a pig,

它真是猪中楷模，

it's no bigger than a white rat."

还没有一只白老鼠大。”

"Wash up and eat your breakfast, Avery!" said his mother.

“快去洗洗，来吃早饭，艾弗里！”他妈妈说，

"The school bus will be along in half an hour."

“还有半个钟头校车就到。”

"Can I have a pig, too, Pop?" asked Avery.

“我也可以有只猪吗，爸爸？”艾弗里问道。

"No, I only distribute pigs to early risers," said Mr. Arable.

“不，我只把猪送给早起的人，” 阿拉布尔先生说，

"Fern was up at daylight, trying to rid the world of injustice.

“弗恩天一亮就起来打抱不平，要扫尽天下不平事。

As a result, she now has a pig.

结果呢，她现在得到了一只小猪。

A small one, to be sure, but nevertheless a pig.

没错，它是很小，只有一丁点大，不过到底还是猪。

It just shows what can happen if a person gets out of bed promptly.

这正好证明，早起的人会有什么好处。

Let's eat!"

我们吃早饭吧！”
