his
wicked eyes, shaded by their coy little lashes,
turned on me in disgust and hatred.

had been having an unseasonable
spell of weather- hot, close days, with the fog
shutting in
every night, scaling for a
few hours in midday, then creeping back again at
dark, drifting in first
over the trees
on the point, then suddenly blowing across the
fields, blotting out the world and
taking possession of houses, men, and
animals.
我们正经历一段非常反常的天气，闷热且
雾气沉沉。浓雾每晚笼罩着村庄。中午的几个小时

very small, timid

successful and will encourage them

to eat; but
with a large, sick pig the ruse is senseless and
the sound I made must have made him feel,
if anything, more miserable.
对于羞涩的、刚断奶的小猪，这一
招常常很有效，能诱使他们吃东西；但对于一头生病的大
猪，这个做法却丝毫没有意义，
我发出的声音肯定只会让他觉得更难受。
4. From
the lustiness of a healthy pig a man derives a
feeling of personal lustiness; the stuff that
goes into the trough and is received
with such enthusiasm is an earnest of some later
feast of his
own, and when this
suddenly comes to an end and the food lies stale
and untouched, souring in the
sun, the
pig's imbalance becomes the man's, vicariously,
and life seems insecure, displaced,
transitory.
看到一头健康的猪精力充沛，人们常常感到自己也是精力充沛。看到它狼吞虎咽地吃掉食槽
中的食物，人们就像是预订了今后的大餐。
而当这一切突然结束，槽中的食物丝毫未动，任
其在阳光下发馊时，猪的不适也就让人
觉得自己也不舒服，生活变得失去了安全感、失去了
平衡、变得转瞬即逝。
pig's lot and mine were
inextricably bound now, as though the rubber tube
were the silver
cord. From then until
the time of his death I held the pig steadily in
the bowl of my mind; the task
of trying
to deliver him from his misery became a strong
obsession. His suffering soon became the
embodiment of all earthly wretchedness.
现在这头猪的命运和我的命运紧紧
地联系在一起，似乎冲洗直肠的橡皮管就是连接我们情感
的纽带。从他生病到死去，我无
时无刻不想着他。如何想办法使他脱离苦海成了我心里想的
唯一的事情。他的苦难很快就
变成世间所有悲惨经历的写照。
，
6. The awakening had been violent and I
minded it all the more because I knew that what
could be
true of my pig could be true
also of the rest of my tidy world. 1 tried to put
this distasteful idea from
me, but it
kept recurring.
这种醒悟来得太过突然，
使我深感不安，因为我知道世事难料，在猪身上发生的事情同样也
有可能在我身边其他看
似平静之处发生。我想忘记这个令人不快的想法，但他总是不停地出
现。
7. all of us working in darkness
and in comfort, working with the instinctive
teamwork induced by

conditions, the pig unprotesting, the house
shadowy, protecting, intimate.

子笼罩在黑暗中，给人一种安全感和亲切感。

Everything about this last scene seemed
overwritten - the dismal sky, the shabby woods,
the
imminence of rain, the worm
(legendary bedfellow of the dead), the apple
(conventional garnish of
a pig).
关于这最后一亩的描写显得有点冗
