05 The Glass Eye

The Glass Eye You can play a lot of tricks with a glass eye because you can take it out and pop it back in again any time you like. You can bet your life Mrs Twit knew all the tricks. One morning she took out her glass eye and dropped it into Mr Twit's mug of beer when he wasn't looking. Mr Twit sat there drinking the beer slowly. The froth made a white ring on the hairs around his mouth. He wiped the white froth on to his sleeve and wiped his sleeve on his trousers. 'You're plotting something,' Mrs Twit said, keeping her back turned so he wouldn't see that

你可以用玻璃眼睛玩很多把戏，因为你可以随时把它拿出来再放进去。 你可以用生命打赌，特威特太太知道所有的把戏。 一天早上，她拿出她的玻璃眼睛，趁特威特先生不注意，把它扔进了他的啤酒杯里。 特威特先生坐在那里慢慢地喝着啤酒。 泡沫在他嘴边的毛发上形成了一个白色的圈。 他把白色的泡沫擦到袖子上，又在裤子上擦了擦袖子。 “你在密谋什么，”特威特太太说，她一直背对着他，不让他看见

she had taken out her glass eye. 'Whenever you go all quiet like that I know very well you're plotting something.' Mrs Twit was right. Mr Twit was plotting away like mad. He was trying to think up a really nasty trick he could play on his wife that day. 'You'd better be careful,' Mrs Twit said, 'because when I see you starting to plot, I watch you like a wombat.' 'Oh, do shut up, you old hag,' Mr Twit said. He went on drinking his beer, and his evil mind kept working away on the latest horrid trick he was going to play on the old woman. Suddenly, as Mr Twit tipped the last drop of beer down his throat, he caught sight of Mrs

她取出了她的玻璃眼睛。 "每当你这样不声不响的时候，我就知道你在密谋什么。"特威特夫人是对的。 特威特先生在疯狂地策划着。 那天，他正在想一个能捉弄他妻子的诡计。 “你最好小心点，”特威特太太说，“因为当我看到你开始密谋时，我会像盯着袋熊一样盯着你。”“哦，闭嘴吧，你这个老巫婆，”特威特先生说。 他继续喝着啤酒，他那邪恶的心一直在想他要对老妇人开的最新的可怕的玩笑。 突然，特推特先生把最后一滴啤酒灌进喉咙时，他看见了特推特太太

Twit's awful glass eye staring up at him from the bottom of the mug. It made him jump. 'I told you I was watching you,' cackled Mrs Twit. 'I've got eyes everywhere so you'd better be careful.'

推特那只可怕的玻璃眼睛从杯子底盯着他。 这使他跳了起来。“我告诉过你我在看着你，”特威特太太咯咯地笑着说。 “我到处都有眼线，所以你最好小心点。”
