“Aye, the flute of old Guillaume, and the music for the shepherds,” stammered³ the puzzled Francois. “是啊，老纪尧姆的笛子，牧羊人的音乐，”迷惑不解的弗朗索瓦斯结结巴巴地说。

“But whence comes it? Who can play it thus?” “但它从何而来？谁能这样演奏呢？”

Monsieur le Cure did not stop to wonder. 屈尔先生没有停下来思考。

He went directly to the window, and looked out. 他径直走到窗前向外望去。

There, with his back to the wall of the house, was Guillaume, playing bis very best. 在那里，纪尧姆背靠着墙，他演奏得非常好。

“Guillaume/’ breathed Monsieur le Cure softly, “little Guillaume.” “纪尧姆/ '本堂先生轻声地说，'小纪尧姆。”

At the sound all Guillaume’s bashfulness suddenly returned. 一听到这声音，纪尧姆的羞耻心又突然恢复了。

The music ceased instantly, and he stood crestfallen⁴ and trernbling at his daring. 音乐立刻停止了，他垂头丧气地站在那里，为自己的大胆而发愣。

“Come in, little Guillaume,” invited Monsieur le Cure. “进来，小纪尧姆，”屈尔先生邀请他。

“I would speak with thee.” “我想和你谈谈。”

Guillaume obeyed. 纪尧姆进去了。

“Thou hast given us the music for the shepherds well,” commended Monsieur le Cure, drawing the boy to him. “你让我们听到了牧羊的歌，”屈尔先生把小纪尧姆拉到他身边称赞他。

“Canst thou not play for me, also, a noel or two?” “你能为我弹奏一两首吗？”
