1 The Pig

Dirty Beasts

肮脏的野兽

The Pig In England once there lived a big And wonderfully clever pig. To everybody it was plain That Piggy had a massive brain. He worked out sums inside his head, There was no book he hadn't read, He knew what made an airplane fly, He knew how engines worked and why. He knew all this, but in the end One question drove him round the bend: He simply couldn't puzzle out What LIFE was really all about. What was the reason for his birth? Why was he placed upon this earth? His giant brain went round and round. Alas, no answer could be found,

从前在英国，有一只又大又聪明的猪。 每个人都很清楚小猪有一个巨大的大脑。 他心算，没有他没读过的书，他知道飞机是怎么飞起来的，他知道引擎是怎么工作的，为什么要这样做。 这一切他都知道，但最后有一个问题把他逼疯了：他就是搞不明白生活到底是怎么回事。 他出生的原因是什么？ 他为什么来到这个世界上？ 他那巨大的脑袋转啊转。 唉，找不到答案，

Till suddenly one wondrous night, All in a flash, he saw the light. He jumped up like a ballet dancer And yelled, "By gum, I've got the answer!"

直到一个奇妙的夜晚，刹那间，他看到了光明。 他像芭蕾舞演员一样跳了起来，喊道：“天哪，我有答案了！”

"They want my bacon slice by slice "To sell at a tremendous price! "They want my tender juicy chops "To put in all the butchers' shops! "They want my pork to make a roast "And that's the part'll cost the most! "They want my sausages in strings! "They even want my chitterlings! "The butcher's shop! The carving knife! "That is the reason for my life!"

“他们要我一片一片的培根”然后卖个好价钱！“他们想要我嫩滑多汁的排骨”卖到所有的肉店去！“他们想让我的猪肉做烤肉”，这是成本最高的部分！“他们要我的串香肠！”“他们甚至想要我的猪肠！”“肉店！”切肉刀！“这就是我活着的原因！”

Such thoughts as these are not designed To give a pig great peace of mind. Next morning, in comes Farmer Bland, A pail of pigswill in his hand, And Piggy with a mighty roar, Bashes the farmer to the floor... Now comes the rather grizzly bit So let's not make too much of it, Except that you must understand That Piggy did eat Farmer Bland, He ate him up from head to toe, Chewing the pieces nice and slow.

这样的想法并不是为了让一头猪安心而设计的。 第二天早上，农夫布兰德来了，手里拿着一桶猪泔水，猪崽子大声吼着，把农夫打倒在地…… 现在是相当灰熊的部分，所以我们不要太在意，除了你必须明白猪猪确实吃了农夫布兰德，他从头到脚吃了他，慢慢地咀嚼着碎片。

It took an hour to reach the feet, Because there was so much to eat, And when he'd finished, Pig, of course, Felt absolutely no remorse. Slowly he scratched his brainy head And with a little smile, he said, "I had a fairly powerful hunch "That he might have me for his lunch. "And so, because I feared the worst, "I thought I'd better eat him first."

花了一个小时才到达脚边，因为有很多东西要吃，吃完后，猪当然一点也不后悔。 他慢慢地挠了挠他那聪明的脑袋，微笑着说：“我有一种相当强烈的预感”，他可能会把我当午餐。 所以，因为我害怕最坏的情况，“我想我最好先吃了他。”
