Again he felt and fumbled at the pig.

波波再次探手摸了摸小豬，

It did not burn him so much now; still he licked his fingers from a sort of habit.

炙熱的烤豬不再那么灼燙，他習慣地又吮吸了一下手指。

The truth at length broke into his slow understanding that it was the pig that smelt so, and the pig that tasted so delicious;

此刻，一向遲鈍的他突然醍醐灌頂，那種奇妙無比的醇香居然來自那只火中乳豬，焦脆的豬肉嘗起來美味綿長，

and surrendering himself up to the newborn pleasure, he fell to tearing up whole handfuls of the scorched skin with the flesh next it,

波波全身心沉湎于這一前所未有的快感中，索性盡興地大塊撕扯著那團乳豬，忙不迭地拼命往嘴里海吃亂塞。

and was cramming it down his throat in his beastly fashion, when his sire entered amid the smoking rafters, armed with a retributory cudgel,

恰好這時，他老爸邁步走過尚且冒著余煙的椽木，手里提著一根殺威棒,

and, finding how affairs stood, began to rain blows upon the young rogue's shoulders as thick as hailstones,

看到慘不忍睹的家，雨點般的手起棒落，全部落到了倒霉蛋的波波身上。

which Bo-bo heeded not any more than if they had been flies.

此時的波波吃得正歡，何曾理會老爸飛來的棍棒，美食當前的他，不過像被蚊蠅叮咬幾口罷。

His father might lay on, but he could not beat him from his pig till he had fairly made an end of it,

怒火中燒的老爸棍棒不斷，波波狼吞虎咽地咀嚼不停，直到將那只乳豬徹底消滅干凈，

when, becoming a little more sensible of his situation, something like the following dialogue ensued:

這時波波似乎才略微明白眼前處境，接下來父子間沒準有如下對話：

You graceless whelp, what have you got there devouring?

你這不知羞恥的狗崽子，你蹲在哪里吞吃什么？

Is it not enough that you have burnt me down three houses with your dog's tricks, and be hanged to you!

咱家房子給你燒光了三次，你這惹是生非的家伙，難道還沒燒夠？

but you must be eating fire, and I know not what? What have you got there, I say?

你這天殺的賤貨！你在火里刨吃什么呀？我的天呀，你在吃什么東西？

“O father, the pig, the pig! do come and taste how nice the burnt pig eats!”

哎呀，老爸，是小豬，小豬呀！快來嘗嘗這好吃的小豬。
