And, in fact, he was down in the yard in a twinkling and running toward the chicken coop.
事實上，一眨眼的功夫他就下到了院子里并跑向了雞舍。
He opened the door, pulled out the Weasels one by one, and, after tying them in a bag, said to them in a happy voice: "You're in my hands at last! I could punish you now, but I'll wait!
他打開門，一只一只的把黃鼠狼拖了出來，把它們綁在了一個口袋里，高興地對它們說：“你們終于落到我手里了！我本可以現在處罰你們，但我會等！
In the morning you may come with me to the inn and there you'll make a fine dinner for some hungry mortal.
早上我就把你們帶到酒館里，你們會被做成一頓豐盛的晚餐給饑餓的人類享用。
It is really too great an honor for you,one you do not deserve; but, as you see, I am really a very kind and generous man and I am going to do this for you!"
這份對你們來說是天大的光榮，一份你們承受不起的光榮，可就像你看到的那樣，我如此善良大方，我會為你們這么做的！”
Then he went up to Pinocchio and began to pet and caress him.
接著他走到皮諾喬身邊，撫摸他安撫他。
"How did you ever find them out so quickly? And to think that Melampo, my faithful Melampo, never saw them in all these years!"
“你是怎么這么快就發現他們的？想想梅蘭珀，我忠實的梅蘭珀，這些年卻一直什么也沒發現！”
The Marionette could have told, then and there, all he knew about the shameful contract between the dog and the Weasels, but thinking of the dead dog, he said to himself: "Melampo is dead. What is the use of accusing him?
木偶本來可以把他知道的事情都說出來，狗和黃鼠狼之間可恥的協議。可他想起狗已經死了，于是自言自語說：“梅蘭珀已經死了。何必控告死者呢？
The dead are gone and they cannot defend themselves. The best thing to do is to leave them in peace!"
逝者已逝，無法為自己辯護。最好還是讓它們安息！”
