　　Wilbur lay down and closed his eyes.

　　威尔伯躺下来闭上眼睛。

　　He was tired from his wakeful night and from the excitement of meeting someone for the first time.

　　由于一夜没有睡好，又和陌生人第一次相识太兴奋了，它觉得十分疲倦。

　　A breeze brought him the smell of clover - the sweet-smelling world beyond his fence.

　　微风给它送来红花草的香气--它的围栏外面芬芳天地的香气。

　　"Well," he thought, "I've got a new friend, all right.

　　“好了，”它心里说，“我终于有一个新朋友了，错不了。

　　But what a gamble friendship is!

　　可这友谊多么冒风险啊！

　　Charlotte is fierce, brutal, scheming, bloodthirsty - everything I don't like.

　　夏洛凶狠、残忍、狡诈、嗜血--样样都不是我喜欢的。

　　How can I learn to like her, even though she is pretty and, of course, clever?"

　　我怎么能学会喜欢它呢？哪怕它好看，当然，又聪明？”

　　Wilbur was merely suffering the doubts and fears that often go with finding a new friend.

　　找到一个新朋友，在喜悦之外，常常会同时有一些疑惑和恐惧，可威尔伯却只感受到了疑惑和恐惧。

　　In good time he was to discover that he was mistaken about Charlotte.

　　不过到时候它就会发现，它这是错看了夏洛。

　　Underneath her rather bold and cruel exterior,

　　在夏洛凶猛残忍的外表下，

　　she had a kind heart, and she was to prove loyal and true to the very end.

　　有一颗善良的心，到头来，它会显示出自己是个多么忠实的朋友。
