3 On New Feet, Pinocchio Sets Off to School

CHAPTER 3 On New Feet, Pinocchio Sets Off to School With his belly full, Pinocchio could now concentrate entirely on, and cry about, his poor burned feet. To punish him for his bad behavior, Geppetto let Pinocchio cry for a while. Finally he said, "I could make you new feet, but why should I? So you can just run away again?" "I won't run away," Pinocchio said, sniffling. "I'll be good from now on. I'll go to school and do my homework. I will learn a trade and take care of you in your old age. I

皮诺乔吃饱了肚子，现在可以把注意力完全集中在他可怜的烧伤的脚上，哭个不停了。 为了惩罚他的坏行为，格培多让皮诺奇哭了一会儿。 最后他说：“我可以给你做一双新脚，但我为什么要这样做呢？ 这样你就可以再次逃跑了？”“我不会跑的，”皮诺乔抽着鼻子说。 “从现在开始，我要乖乖的。 我要去学校做作业。 我会学一门手艺，在你年老时照顾你。 我

promise!" Geppetto tried to look stern, but his eyes filled with tears. He couldn't stand to see Pinocchio suffer. So, taking his tools and two pieces of wood, he got to work. A few minutes later, two beautiful new wooden feet sat on the table. They were even stronger and faster than the first pair. Taking a bit of glue, Geppetto attached the new feet to Pinocchio's burned stumps. He did this so skillfully, you could barely tell that the legs were not made from two solid pieces of wood. Whole again, Pinocchio immediately leaped off the table and started to skip and jump around. "To show you how grateful I am," he cried, "I am going to use my new feet to run straight to school! But first, I need some new clothes."

承诺!”杰佩托竭力装出严肃的样子，但他的眼里却充满了泪水。 他不忍心看皮诺乔受苦。 于是，他带着工具和两块木头开始工作。 几分钟后，两只漂亮的新木脚坐在桌子上。 他们甚至比第一对更强壮、更快。 杰佩托拿了一点胶水，把新脚粘在皮诺乔烧焦的树桩上。 他做得如此熟练，你几乎看不出他的腿不是用两块实木做的。 皮诺乔又活过来了，立刻从桌子上跳下来，跳来跳去。 “为了表达我对你的感激之情，”他叫道，“我要用我的新脚直接跑到学校去！但首先，我需要一些新衣服。”

Poor Geppetto had no money for new clothes, so he made his son a stylish suit out of pretty paper. Taking some tree bark, he made a sharp pair of shoes. Finally, with a bit of bread dough, he made Pinocchio a dashing little cap. "Why, I look like a proper gentleman!" Pinocchio cried, as he admired himself in the mirror. "But there is one important thing I still need." "What is it?" Geppetto asked. "A workbook to learn my ABC's."

可怜的杰佩托没有钱买新衣服，所以他用漂亮的纸给儿子做了一套时髦的衣服。 他拿了一些树皮，做了一双锋利的鞋子。 最后，他用一点生面团，给皮诺乔做了一顶漂亮的小帽子。 “怎么，我看起来像个正经的绅士！”皮诺乔一边对着镜子欣赏自己，一边叫道。 “但我还需要一样重要的东西。” “什么事？”格培多问。 “一本学习ABC的练习册。”

Geppetto realized Pinocchio was right. "I have no money," he said sadly. "And a workbook is not as easy to make as a cap." Pinocchio's face fell. Seeing Pinocchio look so disappointed was very hard for Geppetto. He quickly pulled on his old coat and left the house. A few minutes later, Geppetto was back. In his hands was a workbook. But he was no longer wearing the old coat. Instead, he stood in his short-sleeved shirt. "I was hot," Geppetto explained, shivering violently. "Oh, Father," Pinocchio said, realizing that Geppetto had sold his coat for the book. Running over to his father, Pinocchio kissed him again and again. The next morning, Pinocchio couldn't wait to go to school. He was so excited about all of the things he was going to learn.

杰佩托意识到皮诺乔是对的。 “我没有钱，”他伤心地说。 “而且做一本练习册可不像做一顶帽子那么容易。” 皮诺乔的脸沉了下来。看到皮诺乔如此失望的样子，杰佩托很难受。 他迅速穿上旧外套，离开了房子。 几分钟后，杰佩托回来了。 他手里拿着一本练习本。 但是他不再穿着那件旧外套了。 相反，他穿着短袖衬衫站着。 “我很热。”杰佩托解释说，剧烈地颤抖着。 “哦，爸爸，”皮诺乔说，他意识到杰佩托为了这本书卖掉了他的外套。 皮诺乔跑到他爸爸身边，一遍又一遍地吻他。 第二天早上，皮诺奇迫不及待地要去上学。 他对将要学习的东西感到非常兴奋。

Soon, I will be smart enough to earn a lot of money and buy my father a new coat. And it won't be just any old coat. It will be a gold and silver coat, with diamond buttons! Even as he thought this, though, he heard the sound of pipes and drums coming from a distance. Pi-pi-pi, the pipes and drums called. Bum, dum, bum. Pinocchio hesitated. He had promised to go to school, but the sounds were so tempting. How could he resist finding out where they were coming from? He decided he couldn't stay away from the music. I'll go to school tomorrow, he told himself. What's one more day? On his brand-new feet, Pinocchio ran toward the sounds until he reached a large plaza. There he saw a tiny wooden building painted in brilliant colors. "What's in there?" Pinocchio asked a little

很快，我就会聪明到赚很多钱，给爸爸买一件新外套。 它不会是一件普通的旧外套。 这将是一件金银相间的外套，镶着钻石纽扣！就在他这样想的时候，他听到了远处传来的笛声和鼓声。 笛声和鼓声响起。 笨蛋，笨蛋，笨蛋。匹诺曹犹豫了。 他答应去上学，但那声音太诱人了。 他怎么能不去弄清楚它们是从哪里来的呢？ 他决定离不开音乐。 我明天要去上学，他对自己说。 多一天又怎么样？皮诺乔用崭新的双脚朝着声音跑去，一直跑到一个大广场。 在那里，他看到了一座色彩鲜艳的小木屋。 “里面有什么？”皮诺乔问了一点

boy standing next to him. "Can't you read?" the boy asked, pointing to a sign on the door. Having skipped school, however, Pinocchio couldn't. "Not today," he replied. "It says GREAT PUPPET THEATER, dummy," the boy said. "And the show is about to start." Other puppets, just like him, putting on a show? Pinocchio was crazy with curiosity. "How much is a ticket?" he asked. "Four pennies." But Pinocchio didn't have even one penny. "Will you lend me the money?" "Not today," the boy replied. "I'll sell you my coat!" "And what would I do with your paper coat?" the boy scoffed. "When it rains, it will

站在他旁边的男孩。“你不识字吗？”男孩指着门上的牌子问道。 可是皮诺乔逃学了，不能这么做。 “今天不行，”他回答。“上面写着大木偶剧院，笨蛋，”男孩说。 “演出就要开始了。” 其他木偶，就像他一样，在演戏吗？ 皮诺乔好奇得发疯了。 “一张票多少钱？”他问。 “四便士。”可是皮诺乔一分钱也没有。 “你愿意借钱给我吗？”“今天不行，”男孩回答。 “我把我的大衣卖给你！”“那我拿你的纸外套怎么办呢？”男孩嘲笑道。 “下雨的时候就会下雨
