Chapter 10
第十章
Quick as a flash, Pinocchio disappeared into the Marionette Theater.
一眨眼間，皮諾喬就跑進木偶戲院無影無蹤了。
And then something happened which almost caused a riot.
接著就出了件事，這件事幾乎鬧了個大亂子。
The curtain was up and the performance had started.
這時戲幕已經升起，演出已經開始了。
Harlequin and Pulcinella were reciting on the stage and, as usual,
臺上站著花衣小丑和駝背小丑，正吵得不可開交，接著就是那老一套，
they were threatening each other with sticks and blows.
他們不斷地你威嚇我我威嚇你，說要請對方吃耳光和吃棍子。
The theater was full of people, enjoying the spectacle and laughing till they cried at the antics of the two Marionettes.
劇院里坐滿了人，欣賞著精彩的演出，兩個木偶的滑稽舉止讓他們笑得眼淚都出來了。
The play continued for a few minutes, and then suddenly, without any warning, Harlequin stopped talking.
表演進行了幾分鐘，忽然之間，花衣小丑毫無征兆地停止了講話。
Turning toward the audience, he pointed to the rear of the orchestra, yelling wildly at the same time:
他向觀眾轉過身來，用手指著觀眾席后排，同時大叫起來：
"Look, look! Am I asleep or awake? Or do I really see Pinocchio there?"
“看?。】窗。∥沂亲鰤暨€是醒著呢？那下邊的人不是皮諾喬嗎？……”
"Yes, yes! It is Pinocchio!" screamed Pulcinella.
“正是皮諾喬！”駝背小丑叫道。
"It is! It is!" shrieked Signora Rosaura, peeking in from the side of the stage.
“一點不錯就是他！”羅薩烏拉太太打舞臺側面瞅了一眼后尖聲叫道。
"It is Pinocchio! It is Pinocchio!" yelled all the Marionettes, pouring out of the wings.
“是皮諾喬！是皮諾喬！”所有的木偶同聲大叫，一窩蜂地跳到外面臺上來。
"It is Pinocchio. It is our brother Pinocchio! Hurrah for Pinocchio!"
“皮諾喬！是咱們的兄弟皮諾喬！皮諾喬萬歲！”
"Pinocchio, come up to me!" shouted Harlequin.
“皮諾喬，上來，到我這兒來，”花衣小丑叫道。
"Come to the arms of your wooden brothers!"
“上來，投到你的木頭弟兄們的懷抱里來吧！”
At such a loving invitation, Pinocchio, with one leap from the back of the orchestra, found himself in the front rows.
他們這么深情地邀請，皮諾喬一跳就從觀眾席后面跳到前排。
With another leap, he was on the orchestra leader's head. With a third, he landed on the stage.
再一跳就從前座跳上樂隊指揮的頭頂，又從樂隊指揮的頭頂蹦上戲臺。
It is impossible to describe the shrieks of joy, the warm embraces, the knocks,
這些喜悅的尖叫簡直難以描述，
and the friendly greetngs with which that strange company of dramatic actors and actresses received Pinocchio.
皮諾喬受到這個奇特的劇團里的男女演員的狂熱歡迎，熱情地擁抱，相互拍打，親切地打招呼。
It was a heart-rending spectacle, but the audience, seeing that the play had stopped, became angry and began to yell:
不用說，這個場面激動人心，不過觀眾看見戲老不演下去，開始發怒，大叫道：
"The play, the play, we want the play!"
“我們要看戲，我們要看戲！”
The yelling was of no use, for the Marionettes, instead of going on with their act, made twice as much racket as before,
可他們的叫喊是白費力氣，因為木偶們不是把戲演下去，而是加倍大叫大喊。
and, lifting up Pinocchio on their shoulders, carried him around the stage in triumph.
他們把皮諾喬放在肩膀上，抬著他得意洋洋地圍著舞臺轉。
