　　The storm of passion having subsided², there he lay weeping and disconsolate³, a grievous sob⁴ bursting forth⁵ every now and then, 热情的浪潮渐渐褪去，他愁眉苦脸地躺在那儿，不停地哭泣。

　　as he heard the loud peals⁶ of childish laughter, and as he thought how he should have laughed, 当听到孩子们响亮的笑声时，想到要不是因为他的恶劣表现，

　　and how happy he should have been, had he not forfeited⁷ all this pleasure by his own bad conduct. 他此刻该如何欢笑时，他偶尔还会悲伤地抽泣一下。

　　He wondered if Annie would not be so good-natured as to bring him a pear. 他在想安妮是不是不会好心地给他送梨了。

　　All on a sudden, he heard a little foot on the stair, pitapat, and he thought she was coming. 忽然间，他听到了楼梯上很轻的脚步声，砰砰，他认为是安妮来了。

　　Pitapat came the foot, nearer and nearer, and at last a small head peeped, half afraid, through the half-open door. 砰砰，脚步声越来越近了。最后，一个小脑袋怯怯地从半开着的门缝挤了进来。

　　But it was not Annie's head; it was Frisk's—poor Frisk, whom Harry had been teasing and tormenting⁸ all the morning, 但那不是安妮的头；是弗里斯克——可怜的弗里斯克。哈利逗弄、折磨了它整个早上。

　　and who came into the room wagging his tail, with a great pear in his mouth; 它摇着尾巴进了屋，嘴里叼着一个巨大的梨子；

　　and, jumping upon the bed, He laid it in the little boy's hand. 然后跳上床，把梨放在小男孩的手里。

　　Is not Frisk a fine, grateful fellow? and does he not deserve a share of Harry's breakfast, whether he begs for it or not? 弗里斯克是不是一个有良心的好伙伴？不管它作揖没作揖，难道它不应该得到哈利给的一份早餐吗？

　　And little Harry will remember from the events of this day that kindness, 从这天发生的一系列事件中，小哈利将会记住友好的善行总会得到回报，

　　even though shown to a dog, will always be rewarded; and that ill nature and bad temper are connected with nothing but pain and disgrace. 即使对象是一条小狗；另外，恶毒和坏脾气只会与痛苦、耻辱联系在一起。
