Chapter 12 Hard times
第12章 苦日子
I was sold to a baker who Jerry knew，but the baker's bearing rein up．This made it difficult for me to pull a heavy cart，and I found the work very hard．
我被賣給了杰利認識的一位面包師。這面包師的車夫是個叫賈克的男人。他喜歡把繩套收得緊緊的。這叫我拉重物時很困難。我發現這工作很不好干。
One day，after three or four months of this，I was pulling the cart，which was much heavier than usual，up a steep hill．
這樣過了三四個月。一天，我正拉車上一個很陡的小山。這次車比以往都沉重得多。
I had to stop several times to rest，which didn't please Jakes．
我不得不幾次停下來休息，這讓賈克很不高興。
'Move on， you lazy horse， or I'll make you！'he shouted，and he hit me with his whip．
走啊，你這懶馬！我要抽你了！他喊著并用鞭子抽我。
After a few more metres，I had to stop again．The whip came down across my back once more and the pain was sharp．
拉了幾米，我又得停下來。鞭子又落在我的后背上，疼得鉆心。
I was doing my best but the driver was still punishing me cruelly，which seemed very unfair．
我已經盡力了，可車夫還無情地懲罰我，這非常不公平。
Jakes was whipping me a third time when a woman hurried over and said，Oh，please don't whip your horse like that． I think I can help，if you'll let me．
賈克第三次抽我的時候，一位婦女跑過來說：噢，請你別那樣抽你的馬。我想我能幫忙，如果你愿意的話。
Jakes laughed.Oh？
賈克笑起來。噢？
關于《黑駿馬》在黑駿馬身上，我們可以看到很多人類的品質：誠實可靠、堅定勇敢、溫順友善...雖然黑駿馬歷經磨難，卻始終沒有改變這些品質。
