匹诺曹

Chapter 1 A Piece of Wood Once upon a time there was a piece of wood. Lying in a corner of the carpenter's workshop, it looked just like any other piece of wood. The carpenter's name was Mr. Cherry, and he needed a table leg.

第一章 一块木头 从前有一块木头 它躺在木匠工坊的角落里，看起来和别的木头没什么两样 木匠名叫樱桃先生，他正好需要一根桌腿

Perfect, he said, catching sight of the wood. He rested it against his worktop and picked up a chisel. I'll just chip off the bark. As the chisel touched the wood, a voice cried out, Don't hurt me! Mr. Cherry looked up in surprise. He was alone in the room. I must be imagining things, he thought.

“太完美了。”他一眼看到这块木头就说道 他把木头靠在工作台上，拿起了凿子 我只要把树皮削掉就行 就在凿子碰到木头的瞬间，一个声音大叫起来 别弄疼我！ 樱桃先生惊讶地抬起头 房间里只有他一个人 我肯定是出现幻觉了，他想

But when he tried again, tapping the chisel against the wood, someone screamed. "'Who's there?' shouted Mr. Cherry. There was no answer. "'Wood can't talk, can it?' He shook the wood and listened carefully. Nothing. Just then his friend Geppetto knocked at the door.

可当他再次试着把凿子敲向木头时，又有人尖叫起来 “是谁在那儿？”樱桃先生大喊道 没有人回答 “木头又不会说话，对吧？” 他晃了晃木头，仔细听了听 什么声音都没有 就在这时，他的朋友杰佩托来敲门了

I want to make a puppet, announced Geppetto. Good for you, macaroni hare, called a voice. Geppetto went red in the face and glared at Mr. Cherry. What did you say? he shouted. I didn't say a word.

“我想要做个木偶。”杰佩托说道 “好样的，通心粉兔子。”一个声音叫道 杰佩托脸涨得通红，怒视着樱桃先生 “你刚才说什么？”他大喊道 “我一个字都没说啊。”

It must have been you," said Geppetto. There's no one else here. But give me some wood, and I might forgive you." Mr. Cherry was happy to get rid of the strange piece of wood. The wood had other ideas, and jabbed Geppetto in the tummy. "'How dare you!' Geppetto shouted, almost losing his wig. He grabbed at Mr. Cherry's arm, and Mr. Cherry pushed him away.

“肯定是你说的。”杰佩托说 这里又没有其他人 不过你给我点木头的话，我说不定就原谅你了。” 樱桃先生正巴不得把这块奇怪的木头送走 可这块木头有别的主意，它猛地戳了一下杰佩托的肚子 “你好大的胆子！” 杰佩托大叫着，假发都差点掉了 他一把抓住樱桃先生的胳膊，樱桃先生一把把他推开了
