"He claims he's a spring pig," reported Charlotte, “它说它是只春猪,”夏洛禀报说,
"and perhaps he is. One thing is certain, he has a most unattractive personality. “也许是的。有一件事可以肯定,它太不讨人喜欢了。
He is too familiar, too noisy, and he cracks weak jokes. 它太放肆,太吵闹,还叽叽呱呱地说些蹩脚的笑话。
Also, he's not anywhere near as clean as you are, nor as pleasant. 还有,它一点没你干净,也不及你讨人喜欢。
I took quite a dislike to him in our brief interview. 我和它就谈了两句,已经觉得很不喜欢它。
He's going to be a hard pig to beat, though, Wilbur, on account of his size and weight. 不过由于它个子大,有分量,赢这只猪可不容易,威尔伯。
But with me
helping1 you, it can be done." 可是有我相助,这件事做得到。”
"When are you going to spin a web?" asked Wilbur. “你什么时候开始结网?”威尔伯问道。
"This afternoon, late, if I'm not too tired," said Charlotte. “要是不太累,今天下午,”夏洛说,
"The least thing tires me these days. “这几天最小的事也会把我累坏。
I don't seem to have the energy I once had. My age, I guess." 我似乎没有以前那种精力了。我想是岁数的关系。”
Wilbur looked at his friend. 威尔伯看着它的朋友。
She looked rather

"I'm
awfully3 sorry to hear that you're feeling poorly, Charlotte," he said. “听你说觉得不舒服,我特别难过,夏洛,”它说,
"Perhaps if you spin a web and catch a couple of flies you'll feel better." “也许你结出网来,捉上两只苍蝇会感到好些。”
"Perhaps," she said,
wearily4. “也许吧,”夏洛有气无力地说,
"But I feel like the end of a long day." “不过我感觉漫长的一天好象到了尽头。”
Clinging5 upside down to the ceiling, 它倒过来挂在天花板上,
she settled down for a nap, 开始打盹,
leaving Wilbur very much worried. 留下威尔伯十分担心。
