Chapter 11 Goodbye to old friends

第11章 告别老友

One day we were waiting outside one of the London parks when a dirty old cab drove up beside ours．

一天我们在伦敦的一个公园门外等客，一辆又脏又旧的车从我们身旁经过。

The horse was brown，with bones that showed through her coat．I was eating some hay and the wind took a little of it her way．

那马是棕色的，瘦骨嶙峋。我正在吃草，风把几根草刮到她那边。

The poor animal put out her long thin neck and picked it up，then turned and looked for more．

可怜的家伙伸着她又瘦又长的脖子把草叼了起来，又转过头来找别的草吃。

There was a hopeless look in her dull eye and I wondered where Id seen her before．Then she looked straight at me．

在她黯淡的眼睛中有一股绝望的神情，我寻思自己以前在哪儿见过它。她也定定地看着我。

Black Beauty，is that you？she said．

黑骏马，是你吗？她说。

It was Ginger¹！But how different she looked！Her face，which was once so full of life，was now miserable² and full of pain，and her breathing was very bad．

是金儿！可她变化多大呀！她的脸，曾经是那么有生气的一张脸，现在悲惨而痛楚，她的呼吸也非常不好。

I moved closer to her so that we could have a quiet talk，and it was a sad story that she told me．

我凑近它，这样我们可以小声交谈。她给我讲了一个悲伤的故事。

After twelve monthsrest at Earlshall she was considered to be ready to work again，and was sold to a gentleman．

在沙尔伯爵庄园休养了一年后，主人认为她又能干活了，就把她卖给了一位先生。
