(2)Each muscle, every fiber, every cell, was tired, tired numb①.

Charlotte's Web《夏洛特的网》
(1)Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled of springtime.
弗恩推开一把椅子,跑到户外。草是湿的,大地散发着春天的气息。
(2)He stood there. With a lump in my throat I tried to fight back tears.
他站在那里,我喉咙哽塞,拼命想止住眼泪。
(3)Fern came slowly down the stairs. Her eyes were red from crying. As she approached her chair, the carton wobbled③ and there was a scratching noise. Fern looked at her father. Then she lifted the lid of the carton. There, inside, looking up at her, was the newborn pig.
弗恩慢慢地从楼梯上下来。她哭得眼睛发红。当她走近她的椅子时,纸箱摇晃着,有一种抓挠的声音。弗恩看着她的父亲。然后她掀开纸箱的盖子。在那里有一只刚出生的小猪正抬头看着她。
(4)Fern couldn't take her eyes off the tiny pig. “Oh,” she whispered. “Oh, look at him! He's absolutely perfect.”
弗恩无法把目光从小猪身上移开。“噢,” 她低声说,“噢,瞧他!他棒极了。”
(5)She closed the carton carefully. First she kissed her father, and then she kissed her mother. Then she opened the lid again, lifted the pig out, and held it against her cheek.
她小心地合上纸箱。她先吻了她父亲,然后又吻了她母亲。然后她又打开盖子,把小猪抱出来,并让它贴到自己的脸上。
(6)A minute later, Fern was seated on the floor in the corner of the kitchen with her infant between her knees, teaching it to suck from the bottle.
一分钟后,弗恩坐在厨房角落的地板上,两腿夹着小宝贝,教它从瓶子里喝奶。
