可怜的皮诺乔靠在狗屋旁瑟缩着，生不如死的又冷，又饿，又怕。

　　Now and again he pulled and tugged at the collar which nearly choked him and cried out in a weak voice:

　　他不断地把手插到勒住他喉咙几乎让他窒息的颈圈里，用微弱的声音哭着说：

　　"I deserve it! Yes, I deserve it! I have been nothing but a truant and a vagabond.

　　“我这是活该！是的，我活该！我成了一个懒汉和流浪汉！

　　I have never obeyed anyone and I have always done as I pleased.

　　我从不听别人的话，总是任意妄为。

　　If I were only like so many others and had studied and worked and stayed with my poor old father, I should not find myself here now, in this field and in the darkness, taking the place of a farmer's watchdog.

　　如果我像别的孩子一样，做个好孩子，读书和劳动，和我可怜的爸爸在一起，那我这会儿就不会在这漆黑的田野当中，做一只狗给一个农民看门了。

　　Oh, if I could start all over again! But what is done can't be undone, and I must be patient!"

　　噢，要是我能重来就好了！可是覆水难收，我只能忍耐！”

　　After this little sermon to himself, which came from the very depths of his heart, Pinocchio went into the doghouse and fell asleep.

　　从内心深处对自己说教完后，皮诺乔走进狗屋，睡着了。
