Perhaps that will satisfy thee." 或许这样能让你满足。"

The good woman took it down, and dusted it carefully, while Guillaume waited, quivering with eagerness. 这位好心的妇人把它取下来，小心翼翼地掸去灰尘，而纪尧姆等着，焦急得浑身发抖。

As she gave it to him, and his fingers touched it, such a thrill of strange happiness rushed through him that he grew bold. 当她把它递给他时，他的手指碰了碰它，一种奇怪的幸福的震颤传遍了他的全身，他变得大胆起来。

"Mother," he whispered entreatingly¹, "let me carry it with me today, to the hill." "妈妈，"他低声哀求，"今天允许我带着它上山吧。"

"To the hill!" cried his mother, raising her brows with astonishment². "要带到山上！"他妈妈哭泣着扬起了眉毛。

"Nay³, nay, Guillaume, thou art far too young to be permitted to do that. "不，不，纪尧姆，你太年轻了，不能那样做。

Some harm might happen to it there." 这样可能会带来一些伤害。"

"Nothing shall hurt it—I will take great care! "不会有什么伤害的——我会非常小心的！

See, I will keep it safely—here—in my breast." 看，我要把它安全地藏在这里——在我的胸口。"

His words came fast and imploringly⁴, and his mother, although she feared to trust it to his keeping, could not resist the longing⁵ in his eyes. 他说得又快又恳切，他的母亲虽然不敢允许他这样做，但还是无法抑制他眼中的渴望。

"Remember, my Guillaume," she warned him, "it was thy grandfather’s. "记着，我的纪尧姆，"她警告他，"那是你祖父的。

There is no other flute⁶ so fine in Maussane. 莫萨内再也没有这么好的笛子了。

See that thou dost bring it back unhurt." 你一定要把笛子完好无损地带回来。"
