　　The singing of this song threw the animals into the wildest excitement.

　　Almost before Major had reached the end, they had begun singing it for themselves.
　　几乎还没有等麦哲唱完，他们已经开始自己唱了。
　　Even the stupidest of them had already picked up the tune7 and a few of the words, and as for the clever ones, such as the pigs and dogs, they had the entire song by heart within a few minutes.
　　连最迟钝的动物也已经学会了曲调和个别歌词了。聪明一些的，如猪和狗，几分钟内就全部记住了整首歌。
　　And then, after a few preliminary tries, the whole farm burst out into 'Beasts of England' in tremendous unison8.
　　然后，他们稍加几次尝试，就突然间齐声合唱起来，整个庄园顿时回荡着这震天动地的歌声。
　　The cows lowed it, the dogs whined9 it, the sheep bleated10 it, the horses whinnied it, the ducks quacked11 it.
　　牛哞哞地叫，狗汪汪地吠，羊咩咩地喊，马嘶嘶地鸣，鸭子嘎嘎地唤。
　　They were so delighted with the song that they sang it right through five times in succession, and might have continued singing it all night if they had not been interrupted.
　　唱着这首歌，他们是多么地兴奋，以至于整整连着唱了五遍，要不是中途被打断，他们真有可能唱个通宵。
　　Unfortunately, the uproar12 awoke Mr. Jones, who sprang out of bed, making sure that there was a fox in the yard.
　　不巧，喧嚣声吵醒了琼斯先生，他自以为是院子中来了狐狸。
　　He seized the gun which always stood in a corner of his bedroom, and let fly a charge of number 6 shot into the darkness.
　　他便跳下床，操起那支总是放在卧室墙角的猎枪，用装在膛里的六号子弹对着黑暗处开了一枪。
　　The pellets buried themselves in the wall of the barn and the meeting broke up hurriedly.
　　弹粒射进大谷仓的墙里。会议就此匆匆解散。
　　Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place.
　　动物们纷纷溜回自己睡觉的地方。
　　The birds jumped on to their perches13, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment.
　　家禽跳上了他们的架子，家畜卧到了草堆里，顷刻之间，庄园便沉寂下来。
