Chapter 3 Geppetto Names His Puppet Pinocchio Geppetto lived in a small ground-floor room that was only lighted from the staircase The furniture could not have been simpler - a rickety^{} chair, a poor bed. and a broken-down table. At the end of the room there was a fireplace with a lighted fire: but the fire was painted, and by the fire was a painted saucepan that was boiling cheerfully and sending out a cloud of smoke that looked exactly like real smoke As soon as he reached home Geppetto took his tools and set to work to cut out and model his puppet. “What name shall I give him?" he said to himself: "I think I will call him Pinocchio. It is a name that will bring him luck. I once knew a whole family so called. There was Pinocchio the father, Pinocchia the mother, and Pinocchi the children, and all of them did well. The richest of them was a beggar②." Having found a name for his puppet he began to work in good earnest^{}, and he first made his hair. then his forehead. and then his eyes The eyes being finished, imagine his astonishment④ when he perceived② tha they moved and looked fixedly} at him. Geppetto, seeing himself stared at by those two wooden eyes, said in an angry voice: "Wicked wooden eyes, why do you look at me?" No one answered .012. 第三章 杰佩托给自已的 木偶起名匹诺曹 杰佩托住在一个很小的地下室里,只有从楼梯下面 ① rickety I'rikotila. 易 能透进一点光。房间里的家具简陋得不能再简陋了:一 的,不结实的 把要散架的椅子、一张破破烂烂的床,还有一张破旧的 桌子。房间最里面有一个壁炉,闪着火光,可这火苗却 是画的,旁边还画着一个炖锅,滚开的汤冒着热气,就 像真的一样。 杰佩托一到家就拿出工具,开始雕刻自已的木偶。 “给他起个什么名字呢?”杰佩托自言自语道,“可 以叫他匹诺曹,这个名字能给他带来好运。我曾认识一 家人,都叫匹诺曹。匹诺曹爸爸,匹诺曹妈妈,还有匹 ② beggar['begaln. 乞丐 诺曹孩子,他们都过得不错,最富的一个是乞丐。” 给木偶起好名字,杰佩托就开始认真工作,先是雕 ③ earnest Ixnistln. 严肃 刻好木偶的头发,然后是额头,接着是眼睛。 认真 ④ astonishment [s'stonifmant] 木偶的眼睛刚一雕刻好,杰佩托就发现这双眼睛滴 n.惊 溜溜乱转,然后紧紧地盯着自已,想象一下杰佩托有多 perceive Ipo'sitvl: 发 惊奇吧。 觉,感知 fixedly ['fiksidli]ad. 不 看到这双木头眼睛瞪着自己,杰佩托生气地说 动地 “可恶的木头眼睛,为什么看着我?” 没人搭话。 ·013· Chapter3 Geppetto Names His Puppet Pinocchio He then proceeded to carve the nose, but no sooner had he made it than it began to grow. And it grew, and grew, and grew, until in a few minutes it had become an immense{} nose that seemed as if it would never end Poor Geppetto tired himself out{}with cutting it off. but the more he cut and shortened it. the longer did that impertinent{}nose become! The mouth was not even completed when it began to laugh and deride{④} him "Stop laughing!" said Geppetto, provoked{}: but he might as well have spoken to the wall. "Stop laughing. I say!" he roared in a threatening tone The mouth then ceased{ laughing, but put out its tongue as far as it would go. Geppetto, not to spoil his handiwork, pretended not to see and continued his labors. After the mouth he fashioned^{} the chin, then the throat. then the shoulders the stomach. the arms and the hands The hands were scarcely finished when Geppetto felt his wig snatched from his head. He turned round, and what did he see? He saw his yellow wig in the puppet's hand. "Pinocchio! Give me back my wig instantly!" But Pinocchio, instead of returning it, put it on his own head and was in consequence nearly smothered{. Geppetto at this insolent^{} and derisive^{}behavior felt sadder and more melancholy{} than he had ever been in his life before: and, turning to Pinocchio, he said to him: "You young rascal{}! You are not yet completed and you are already beginning to show want^{} of respect to your father! That is bad, my boy, very bad!" And he dried a tear The legs and the feet remained to be done When Geppetto had finished the feet he received a kick on the point of his nose. "I deserve it!" he said to himself: "I should have thought of it sooner! Now it is too late!" .014: 第三章 杰佩托给自已的不偶起名匹诺曹 杰佩托接着雕刻鼻子,可是刚刻好,木偶的鼻子 就开始一个劲地长。长啊,长啊,长啊,短短几分 ① immense fi'mensla. 巨 钟,木偶的鼻子就已经变得很长很长,好像要无休止 大的 地长下去。 ②tire out使..十分疲劳 为了把木偶的鼻子截短一些,可怜的杰佩托累得够 ③ impertinent Iim'paxtinont a.不得体的,荒谬的 怆,可是木偶的鼻子越截越肆无忌惮地长。 ④ deride [di'raid]v 嘲笑 嘴还没有最后完成,木偶就开始嘲笑杰佩托 provoked Iprau'vaukt] a 被激怒的 “不许笑!”杰佩托生气地说,可他的话就像对墙 说的,一点儿也不起作用。 “不许笑,听见没有!”杰佩托用威胁的口吻怒吼道。 cease Isitslv 停止 木偶不再笑了,却把自已的舌头伸得老长老长 为了不影响自已的工作,杰佩托假装什么也没看 fashion ['faefan]v做 见,继续雕刻木偶。刻好嘴以后,杰佩托接着刻下巴, 成......的形状 然后是脖子、肩膀、肚子、胳膊和手。 木偶的手刚雕刻好,杰佩托就发现自已的假发被抢 走了。猜猜看,杰佩托扭头看到了什么?他看到自己的 黄色假发抓在木偶手里。 “匹诺曹!马上把假发还给我!” 可是,匹诺曹不仅没把假发还给杰佩托,还把假发 扣在自己的脑袋上,差点儿把自己闷死。 ⑧ smother ['smAoa]:使窒 这种无礼可笑的行为让杰佩托感到更加难过,比以 息 insolent |'insalont]a.无 往任何时候都忧伤,他对匹诺曹说道 礼的 “你这个小淘气!还没有雕刻好,你就开始不尊重 derisive [di'raisiv]a. 愚 自己的爸爸!这样不好,我的孩子,很不好!” 弄的 ① melancholy I'melonkolil 杰佩托擦干了眼泪 a.忧郁的 还需要雕刻腿和脚。 ② rascal ['ra:skal] n. 淘气 木偶的脚刚雕刻好,杰佩托的鼻尖就被踢了一脚 鬼:流氓 want[wont] n. 匮乏 “我真是活该!”杰佩托自言自语道,“早就该想到 这一点!现在来不及啦!” ·015· Chapter3 Geppetto Names His Puppet Pinocchio He then took the puppet under the arms and placed him on the floor to teach him to walk. Pinocchio's legs were stif^{}and he could not move, but Geppetto led him by the hand and showed him how to put one foot before the other When his legs became limber②} Pinocchio began to walk by himself and to rur about the room, until. having gone out of the house door. he jumped into the stree and escaped. Poor Geppetto rushed after him but was not able to overtake him. for that rasca Pinocchio leaped{} in front of him like a hare{} and knocking his wooden feet together against the pavement made as much clatter as twenty pairs of peasants' clogs{. "Stop him! Stop him!" shouted Geppetto: but the people in the street, seeing a wooden puppet running like a race-horse, stood still in astonishment to look at it and laughed and laughed At last. as good luck would have it, a soldier arrived who, hearing the uproar imagined that a colt^{} had escaped from his master. Planting himself courageously with his legs apart in the middle of the road, he waited with the determined purpose of stopping him and thus preventing the chance of worse disasters. When Pinocchio, still at some distance, saw the soldier barricading③} the whole street, he endeavored to take him by surprise and to pass between his legs. But he failed entirely. The soldier without disturbing himself in the least caught him cleverly by the nose and gave him to Geppetto. Wishing to punish him, Geppetto intended to pul his ears at once. But imagine his feelings when he could not succeed in finding them. And do you know the reason? In his hurry to model him he had forgotten to make any ears. He then took him by the collar and as he was leading him away he said to him shaking his head threateningly: “We will go home at once, and as soon as we arrive we will settle our accounts. never doubt it." At this information Pinocchio threw himself on the ground and would not take .016: 第三章 杰佩托给自已的木偶起名匹诺曹 杰佩托把木偶夹在腑下,然后放在地上,教他走路。 匹诺曹的腿很僵硬,没法挪动,但杰佩托抓着木偶 ①stiff[stif]a.僵硬的,不 的手,教他一步一步往前走。 灵活的 匹诺曹的腿变得灵活以后,开始自己走,在房子里 ② limber ['limbala. 易弯曲 到处跑,然后跑出了房门,跳到街上溜走了。 的,灵活的 可怜的杰佩托在后面使劲追,可怎么也追不上。调 皮的匹诺曹在他前面像只野兔一样来去,那双木头 脚敲打着人行道,发出的响声就像二十个农夫穿着木底 鞋在行走。 ③ leap l:p]v跳跃 “拦住他!拦住他!”杰佩托喊着,可街上的人看 ④ hare [healn. 野免 clatter I'klaeto] n. 撞击 到一个木偶像赛马一样狂奔,都站在一边惊讶地看着 声:噪声 不停地笑啊,笑啊。 clog Iklogln. 木底鞋 最后,万幸来了个士兵,他听到了吵闹声,以为是 一匹小马骑从主人那里逃了出来,便叉开双腿,勇敢地 站在大路中间,下决心要拦住马骑,以免造成更大的灾 colt [koult]n. 公胸 难。 匹诺曹远远看到士兵挡住了整条街,想出其不意地 从士兵两腿间钻过去,可是彻底失败了。 聪明的士兵毫不费力地一把抓住匹诺曹的鼻子 ⑧ barricade L.beri'keidl v 阻塞 把他交给了杰佩托。为了教训匹诺曹,杰佩托想马上 揪住木偶的耳朵,可是居然没找到。想象一下,此时 此刻的杰佩托是一种什么样的心情啊。你知道为什么 没找到耳朵吗?因为杰佩托急着雕刻木偶,忘了雕刻 耳朵。 杰佩托紧紧地抓住木偶的领子,一边走一边胁迫地 摇着他的头,说: “我们马上回家,一到家就和你算账,别不相信。” 听到这话,匹诺曹赖在地上,一步也不走。这时, ·017· Chapter3 Geppetto Names His Puppet Pinocchio another step.

Some of them said one thing, some another “Poor puppet!" said several, "he is right not to wish to return home! Who knows how Geppetto, that bad old man, will beat him!" And the others added maliciously{: "Geppetto seems a good man! But with boys he is a regular}tyrant^{}! If that poor puppet is left in his hands he is quite capable of tearing him in pieces!" It ended in so much being said and done that the soldier at last set Pinocchic at liberty and led Geppetto to prison. The poor man, not being ready with words to defend himself. cried like a calf and as he was being led away to prison sobbed out "Wretched{} boy! And to think how I labored to make him a well-conducted puppet! But it serves me right!
