　　Wilbur stood in the trough, drooling with hunger. Lurvy poured. The slops ran creamily down around the pig's eyes and ears.

　　威尔伯站在食槽里，饿得流口水。勒维把饲料倒进去。泔脚黏糊糊地泼在小猪的眼里甚至耳朵上。

　　Wilbur grunted¹. He gulped² and sucked, and sucked and gulped, making swishing and swooshing noises, anxious to get everything at once.

　　威尔伯呕呕地叫。它大口大口地吃，大口大口地喝，大口大口地吃，大口大口地喝，发出稀哩哗啦、呼噜哗啦的声音，急着要一口气吃个精光。

　　It was a delicious meal - skim milk, wheat middlings, leftover³ pancakes, half a doughnut,

　　这是一顿美食——脱脂牛奶、麦麸、吃剩的煎饼、半个炸面圈、

　　the rind of a summer squash, two pieces of stale toast, a third of a gingersnap, a fish tail, one orange peel,

　　西葫芦皮、两片隔夜吐司、三分之一个姜味小甜饼、一条鱼尾巴、一块橘子皮、

　　several noodles from a noodle soup, the scum off a cup of cocoa, an ancient jelly roll,

　　面条汤里的几根面条、一杯榨过汁后的椰子渣、一个不知什么时候的啫哩卷筒蛋糕、

　　a strip of paper from the lining⁴ of the garbage pail, and a spoonful of raspberry jello⁵. Wilbur ate heartily⁶.

　　Then he remembered that the rat had been useful in saving Charlotte's life,

　　接着它想起老鼠救了夏洛的命，

　　and that Charlotte was trying to save his life. So he left a whole noodle, instead of a half.

　　夏洛正在想办法救它的命。于是它留下了整根面条而不是半根。
