'Dr Treves, 'he said, slowly. 'You and the nurses arevery kind, and I'm very happy here. Thank you very much. But…I know I can't stay here long, and…I would like to live in a lighthouse, after the hospital, please. A lighthouse, or a home for blind people. I think those are the best places for me.
“特里維斯博士，您和這些護士們都是非常善良的，我在這兒很幸福。非常感謝您。可是……我知道我不能長期待在這兒，我想要住到醫院后面的那座燈塔里。一座燈塔或是一間供盲人住的房子，我想那對我來說是最好的地方?！彼卣f完了這些。
'What do you mean？'I asked. 'Why？'
我問：“你這是什么意思？為什么？”
He did not look at me. He put the flower on the picture and looked at it carefully.
他不看我，他把那束花放在那張照片上，仔細地看著。
'Lighthouses have sea all round them, don't they？ 'he said. ' Nobody could look at me in a lighthouse, so I would be happy there. And blind people can see nothing, so they couldn't see me, could they？'
他說：“燈塔四周是大海，對不對？在那里沒有人朝我看，所以在那里我會幸福的。盲人什么也看不見，所以他們也看不見我，是不是？”
'But Joseph, 'I said. 'This is your home. You live here now. You aren't going to leave the hospital. ' 'Not today, perhaps, 'he said. But soon. You are a kind man, Dr Treves. But I can't stay here very long. I have no money. '
我說：“約瑟夫，這就是你的家，現在你就住在這兒，你不要離開醫院。”他說：“不可能是今天，但很快。您是一個好人，特里維斯博士。我不能在這兒呆很長時間，我沒有錢?！?/div>
I smiled. 'Joseph, I said. 'This is your home now. Don't you understand？You can stay here all your life. ' Very carefully, I told him about the letter to The Times, and the money.
我笑著說：“約瑟夫，現在這兒就是你的家。你難道還不知道你可以在這兒呆一輩子嗎？”于是我把如何為了他與《泰晤士報》聯系的那封信及有關錢的來歷詳詳細細地告訴了他。
I don't think he understood at first, so I told him again. He was very quiet for a minute. Then he stood up, and walked up and down the room very quickly. A strange sound came from him, like laughing.
開始我擔心他不能理解此事，所以就又說了一遍。他沉默了片刻，然后站起來在房間里很快地來回走動著，并發出一種奇怪的聲音，像是在大笑。
