LESSON 58 The idle boy

第五十八課 懶惰的男孩

"O dear me! what a terrible trouble it is to me to learn lessons! Here I have one, two—no, not two, but a whole column and a half of words with meanings, to get by heart. I wish words had no meanings!

“啊~饒了我吧！對(duì)我來說學(xué)習(xí)課程是多么可怕的難題啊！我需要一，二，噢不，不是二，而是一整個(gè)欄目和接近一半的帶意思的詞匯需要用心學(xué)。我多么希望那些詞匯沒有意思?。?rdquo;

"Well, I suppose I must begin to learn them. P-r-i-s pris, o-n on, prison, 'a place where people are confined.' Why shouldn't they say school at once?—that's a prison, I'm sure. P-u-n pun, i-s-h ish, punish. I know the meaning of that word without the book.

“好吧~我想我必須開始學(xué)習(xí)它們。P-r-i-s pris，o-n on, prison，‘一個(gè)用于管制關(guān)押人的地方’為什么他們不把學(xué)校稱為prison（監(jiān)獄）？P-u-n pun, i-s-h ish, punish（懲罰）。我不需要借助書本就知道這個(gè)單詞的意思。”

"Oh, this ugly lesson! I shall never get it. P-l-e-a-s pleas, u-r-e ure, pleasure, 'that which Pleases.' Yes, I know that pleasure means swinging on gates and playing ball.

“噢！這個(gè)丑陋的課本！我再也不要學(xué)它。P-l-e-a-s pleas, u-r-e ure, pleasure（樂趣）。‘這是使人高興的’是的，我知道樂趣就是在門口蕩秋千和打球。”

"I dare say if John Grant heard me, he would say pleasure meant having a new book. Read, read, read—I hate reading! When I become a man, I'll never open a book. Oh, how I wish I were a man now!"

“我敢說如果John Grant聽到我說的，他肯定會(huì)說得到一本書是很開心的。讀，讀，讀——我討厭讀書！當(dāng)我成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)男人，我再也不要打開一本書。哦，我多想現(xiàn)在就成為一個(gè)男人?。ㄩL(zhǎng)大）！”

THE IDLE BOY BECOMES A MAN

懶惰的男孩成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)男人

"Yes, I am a man; and woe is me for having been such a little fool when I was a boy! I hated my books, and took more pains to forget my lessons than ever I did to learn them.

“是的！我長(zhǎng)大了。當(dāng)我還是一個(gè)小男孩的時(shí)候我是多么的愚蠢?。∥矣憛捨业臅?，然而現(xiàn)在才知道忘記學(xué)的知識(shí)比學(xué)會(huì)它們要吃更多的苦啊。”

"'Do, James,' said my father, 'learn your lessons, else you will be fit for nothing when you become a man.' 'Do, James, give your mind to your books, else I shall be ashamed to own you for my boy,' said my mother.

“‘學(xué)吧，James’我的父親曾經(jīng)告訴我，‘學(xué)習(xí)知識(shí)，否則將來你長(zhǎng)大了做什么都不合適’‘學(xué)吧，James，把心用在學(xué)習(xí)上，否則身為你的父親我會(huì)感到羞恥的’我母親曾經(jīng)這么對(duì)我說。”

"Now, there was John Grant; he liked play well enough, but he liked reading better; and he learned more out of school-hours than I did in them. John Grant is now, like myself, a man, but a very different kind of a man.

“而John Grant，他很喜歡玩，但他更喜歡讀書，而且在課余時(shí)間他比我讀得更多?，F(xiàn)在，John Grant像我一樣成了男人，然而卻是和我完全不一樣的男人。”

"I see my error now—but it is too late. I have no time to read, for I must work for my daily bread."

“我現(xiàn)在看到了自己犯的錯(cuò)——但是已經(jīng)太遲了。我已經(jīng)沒有時(shí)間去讀書了，因?yàn)槲冶仨氁獮槊刻斓纳娑ぷ鳌?rdquo;

Behold the bitter fruits of idleness in childhood!

承擔(dān)自己兒時(shí)懶惰的苦果。
