19 The End of the Tale

CHAPTER 19 The End of the Tale By the next morning, Tom was feeling a good deal better. He woke up while Aunt Sally and I were in his room. "Why, I'm home!" he said, looking at me. "How's that? Where's the raft?" "It's all right," I said. "And Jim?" "The same," I said, but it was pretty hard to talk with Aunt Sally in the room.

第十九章故事的结局第二天早上，汤姆觉得好多了。 他醒来时，萨莉姨妈和我都在他的房间里。 “嘿，我回来了！”他看着我说。 “这是怎么回事?木筏在哪儿？”“没关系，”我说。 “和吉姆?”“一样，”我说，但在房间里和莎莉姨妈说话太难了。

"Good! Splendid! Now we're all right and safe! Did you tell Aunty?" I was going to say yes, but she interrupted and said, "About what, Sid?" "Why, about the way the whole thing was done." "What whole thing?" "Why, the whole thing: how Tom and I set the runaway slave free." "My goodness, what is this child talking about?" "We did set him free, me and Tom. We planned it all and we did it. We did it elegantly, too." Then he told her about our weeks of planning, how we took all those items from the house and left the letters and drawings, and how the men had chased and shot at us. "Well, I've never heard anything like it," she said. "So it was you, you little rascals. You were the ones who made all the trouble and scared

“好!灿烂的!现在我们没事了，安全了！你告诉姑妈了吗？”我正要答应，但她打断了我，问道：“答应什么，希德？”“啊，关于整件事的处理方式。” “整件事？”“啊，整件事：汤姆和我怎样把那个逃跑的奴隶放了。” “天哪，这孩子在说什么呀？”“是我们放了他，我和汤姆。 我们计划好了一切，我们做到了。 我们也做得很优雅。” 然后他告诉她我们几个星期的计划，我们如何从房子里拿走了所有的东西，留下了信件和图纸，以及那些人是如何追赶和射击我们的。 “嗯，我从来没听过这样的事，”她说。 “原来是你们，你们这些小坏蛋。 是你们制造了所有的麻烦和恐惧

everyone so much." She was very angry, but Tom was so proud and joyful that he just couldn't contain his happiness. Of course, he wasn't so happy when he learned that Jim wasn't free anymore. He sat up in bed and demanded that they set Jim free. "He's as free as anyone else," he said. "What are you talking about?" "I've known him all my life and so has Tom. Old Miss Watson died two months ago. After Jim left, she felt terrible about wanting to sell him. She set him free in her will!" "Why on earth did you go through all that effort to help him escape if you knew he was already free?" "For the adventure of it, of course!" he said. Then he stared at the door and said, "Aunt Polly!" And there she stood, looking as sweet and friendly as an angel. Aunt Sally ran to her and they hugged and cried. I crawled under the bed.

每个人都很喜欢。”她很生气，但汤姆却非常骄傲和高兴，他无法控制自己的幸福。 当然，当他得知吉姆不再自由时，他就不那么高兴了。 他从床上坐起来，要求他们放了吉姆。 “他和其他人一样自由，”他说。 “你在说什么？”“我从小就认识他，汤姆也是。 华生小姐两个月前去世了。 吉姆离开后，她对想卖掉他的想法感到很内疚。 她在遗嘱里给了他自由！”“既然你知道他已经自由了，你为什么还要费那么大劲帮他逃跑呢？”“当然是为了冒险！”他说。 然后他盯着门说：“波莉姨妈！”她站在那里，看起来像天使一样甜美友好。 萨莉姨妈跑向她，他们拥抱着哭了起来。 我爬到床底下。

Aunt Polly said hello to Tom and Aunt Sally said: "That isn't Tom, it's Sid. Tom was here just a moment ago. Where is he now?" "You mean where is Huck Finn," said Aunt Polly, and she told me to come out from under the bed. Well it all came out then. Aunt Polly told her sister and Uncle Silas about me. The letter that Aunt Sally had been about to read before Tom came back was from Aunt Polly. She was writing to tell them that she was coming to visit. She had heard that Tom and Sid were both here. She knew Sid was back at home, so she wanted to see what was really happening. We had Jim out of his chains in no time. When Aunt Polly, Aunt Sally, and Uncle Silas learned how much Jim had helped the doctor with Tom, they made a great fuss over him. They gave him all he wanted to eat and a good place to stay. Tom, Jim, and I talked a great deal about

波莉姨妈向汤姆打招呼，萨莉姨妈说：“那不是汤姆，是希德。 汤姆刚才还在这儿。 他现在在哪儿？”“你是说哈克·费恩在哪儿，”波莉姨妈说，她叫我从床底下出来。 好吧，一切都出来了。 波莉姨妈把我的事告诉了她姐姐和塞拉斯叔叔。 汤姆回来之前，萨莉姨妈正要读的那封信是波莉姨妈写来的。 她写信告诉他们她要来拜访。 她听说汤姆和希德都在这儿。 她知道希德回家了，所以她想看看到底发生了什么。 我们很快就把吉姆从枷锁中解救了出来。 当波莉姨妈、莎莉姨妈和西拉斯叔叔知道吉姆在汤姆身上帮了医生多大的忙时，他们为他大惊小怪。 他们给了他想吃的所有东西，还给了他一个好地方住。 汤姆、吉姆和我谈了很多

having some more adventures together, but I said I wouldn't be able to go along because I didn't have any money left. My pap must have taken it all from Judge Thatcher by now. "No he hasn't," Tom said. "It's all there. Your pap hasn't been back since you left. At least, he hadn't been when I left town." Jim looked very serious just then and said: "He's not coming back any more, Huck." "Why Jim?" I asked. He didn't want to say anything, but I insisted and he finally told me. "Do you remember that house we saw floating down the river with adead man inside? Remember how I looked at him but I wouldn't let you come in to see? Well, you can get your money when you want it, because that man was your pap." Tom's almost healed now and there isn't much

一起去冒险，但我说我不能去，因为我没钱了。 我爸爸现在肯定已经从撒切尔法官那里拿走了。 “不，他没有。”汤姆说。“都在那儿。 你爸从你走后就没回来过。 至少，我离开的时候他还没有。” 这时吉姆神情严肃地说：“哈克，他不会再回来了。” “为什么吉姆?”我问。他什么也不想说，但我坚持要他告诉我。 “你还记得我们看到的那座房子吗？房子里漂着一个死人。” 还记得我是怎么看着他却不让你进去看的吗？ 好吧，你想要钱的时候就去拿，因为那个人是你爸爸。” 汤姆现在差不多痊愈了，没什么大不了的

more to write about. I'm happy about that. If I would have known how hard it was to write a book, I wouldn't have started. And I won't do any more of it. I think I might head out again soon, though. Aunt Sally says she's going to adopt me and civilize me. I can't stand that. I've been there before.

还有更多可写的。我很高兴。 如果我知道写一本书有多难，我就不会开始了。 我不会再这样做了。 不过我想我可能很快会再出去一次。 萨莉阿姨说她要收养我，教化我。 我受不了了。我以前去过那里。
