木偶奇遇记 The Adventures of Pinocchio 89｜英语名著

　　The Fisherman, angry at seeing his meal snatched fromunder his nose, ran after the Dog, but a bad fit of coughingmade him stop and turn back.　　Meanwhile, Alidoro, as soon as he had found the roadwhich led to the village, stopped and dropped Pinocchiosoftly to the ground.　　"How much I do thank you!" said the Marionette.　　"It is not necessary," answered the Dog. "You saved me once,and what is given is always returned. We are in this worldto help one another.""But how did you get in that cave?""I was lying here on the sand more dead than alive,when an appetizing odor of fried fish came to me. Thatodor tickled4 my hunger and I followed it. Oh, if I hadcome a moment later!""Don't speak about it," wailed5 Pinocchio, stilltrembling with fright. "Don't say a word. If you had comea moment later, I would be fried, eaten, and digested bythis time. Brrrrrr! I shiver at the mere6 thought of it."Alidoro laughingly held out his paw to the Marionette,who shook it heartily7, feeling that now he and the Dogwere good friends. Then they bid each other good-byand the Dog went home.　　Pinocchio, left alone, walked toward a little hut nearby, where an old man sat at the door sunning himself,and asked:　　"Tell me, good man, have you heard anything of apoor boy with a wounded head, whose name was Eugene?""The boy was brought to this hut and now--""Now he is dead?" Pinocchio interrupted sorrowfully.　　渔夫一心想吃这条鱼，眼看它打手里给抢走了，气得发疯，就想去追那条狗。可走了几步，忽然咳嗽得没办法，只好回来，　　这时候阿利多罗又来到通村子的小道，停下脚步，把它的朋友皮诺乔小心翼翼地放在地上。　　“我该怎么谢你呀！”木偶说。　　“不用谢，”狗回答说，“你救过我的命，善有善报。要知道，在这个世界上大家应该互相帮助。”　　“可你怎么会到这山洞来的？”　　“我一直在海边直挺挺地躺着，半死不活的，忽然一阵风打远处吹来了炸鱼的香味。这股香味引起了我的食欲，我就跟着它走。要是来晚一分钟就糟了！……”　　“别说了，别说了！”皮诺乔又吓得浑身发抖，叫着说，“你别说了！你要是晚来一分钟，这会儿我已经给炸熟，被吃掉，消化了。啊！……一想到这个我就发抖啦！……”　　阿利多罗笑着向木偶伸出右爪子，木偶使劲紧紧地握住它，表示极其友好的感情。接着他们就分手了。　　狗重新取道回家。皮诺乔一个人留下来，向不远的一间小茅屋走去。小茅屋门口坐着一位老人，正在晒太阳。木偶问他说：　　“请您告诉我，好心的老人家，您知道一个可怜孩子，叫埃乌杰尼奥的，脑袋给打伤了吗？……”　　“一些打鱼人把他送到这茅屋里来了。现在他……”　　“现在他死了！……”皮诺乔极其伤心地打断他的话。4 tickled     （使）发痒( tickle的过去式和过去分词 )； （使）愉快，逗乐参考例句：We were tickled pink to see our friends on television. 在电视中看到我们的一些朋友，我们高兴极了。I tickled the baby's feet and made her laugh. 我胳肢孩子的脚，使她发笑。5 wailed     v.哭叫，哀号( wail的过去式和过去分词 )参考例句：She wailed over her father's remains. 她对着父亲的遗体嚎啕大哭。 来自《现代汉英综合大词典》The women of the town wailed over the war victims. 城里的妇女为战争的死难者们痛哭。 来自辞典例句6 mere     adj.纯粹的；仅仅，只不过参考例句：That is a mere repetition of what you said before.那不过是重复了你以前讲的话。It's a mere waste of time waiting any longer.再等下去纯粹是浪费时间。7 heartily     adv.衷心地，诚恳地，十分，很参考例句：He ate heartily and went out to look for his horse.他痛快地吃了一顿，就出去找他的马。The host seized my hand and shook it heartily.主人抓住我的手，热情地和我握手。
