Chapter 7 Joe Green
第7章 喬·格林
The rest of our journey was very easy，and the next evening we reached the house of our masters friend，where a groom took us to a comfortable stable．
接下來的旅途就簡單多了，第二天晚上我們就到了主人的朋友家，一個馬夫帶我們到了一個舒適的馬廄。
We stayed two or three days，then returned home．John was glad to see us，and we were glad to see him．
我們住了兩三天，然后回家。約翰又見到我們，很高興，我們也是一樣。
I wonder who will come in my place，said James．
不知道誰會來頂替我呢。詹姆斯說。
Little Joe Green，said John．Hes only fourteen and a half but he has a kind heart and wants to come，so Ive agreed to try him for six weeks．
是小喬·格林，約翰說。他只有十四歲半，可是他善良，也愿意來，我已同意讓他試6個星期的工。
The next day，Joe Green came to learn all he could before James left．
第二天，喬·格林來了。他得趕在詹姆斯走之前學會干所有的活計。
He was a nice happy boy and always came to work singing．But then the day came when James had to leave us．
他是個快活可愛的孩子，來干活時老是唱著歌。但終于還是到了詹姆斯離開我們的時候。
Im leaving a lot behind，he said sadly to John．My mother，and you，a good master and mistress，and the horses．And I shant know anybody at the new place．
我舍棄了這么多，他傷心地對約翰說。我媽媽，你，一個好主人和太太，還有這些馬。在新的地方我誰也不認識。
Its hard to leave your home for the first time，said John，but if you get on well—which Im sure you will—your mother will be proud of you．
第一次離家的確不容易，約翰說，但如果你能適應—我相信你能—你媽媽會為你自豪的。
