"Is this Shark very big?" asked Pinocchio, who was beginning to tremble with fright.
“這條鯊魚很大嗎？”皮諾喬問道，開始嚇得顫抖起來。
"Is he big?" replied the Dolphin. "Just to give you an idea of his size, let me tell you that he is larger than a five story building and that he has a mouth so big and so deep, that a whole train and engine could easily get into it."
“他大么？”海豚回答說，“為了讓你明白他的大小，我告訴你，它比一座五層大樓還大，嘴巴又大又深，一下子可以吞進去整整一列火車和引擎。”
"Mother mine!" cried the Marionette, scared to death; and dressing himself as fast as he could, he turned to the Dolphin and said: "Farewell, Mr. Fish. Pardon the bother, and many thanks for your kindness."
“我的媽呀！”木偶驚叫起來，嚇得半死。他趕緊盡可能快的穿上衣服，回頭對海豚說：“再見，魚先生。再一次對我的打擾感到抱歉，并萬分感謝您的好意。”
This said, he took the path at so swift a gait that he seemed to fly,== and at every small sound he heard, he turned in fear to see whether the Terrible Shark, five stories high and with a train in his mouth, was following him.
說完，他馬上踏上小道，健步如飛，每次一聽到有點聲音，他就回頭去看，生怕那條五層大樓高、嘴巴容得下一列火車的鯊魚在追他。
After walking a half hour, he came to a small country called the Land of the Busy Bees.
走了半小時后，他來到一個小國，名字叫做“勤勞蜜蜂國”。
The streets were filled with people running to and fro about their tasks. Everyone worked, everyone had something to do.
街上都是跑來跑去忙著工作的人。所有的人都在干活，都有事做。
Even if one were to search with a lantern, not one idle man or one tramp could have been found.
打起燈籠也找不到一個懶漢和流浪漢。
"I understand," said Pinocchio at once wearily, "this is no place for me! I was not born for work."
“我明白了，”疲憊的皮諾喬馬上說，“這不是我該呆的地方！我生下來可不是干活的！”
But in the meantime, he began to feel hungry, for it was twenty-four hours since he had eaten.
可這時候他開始感到饑餓，因為他已經二十四小時沒吃東西了。
