They did not have to repeat their words. The Marionette walked swiftly along the road to the village.
不等他們說第二遍，木偶就快步走向了通向村莊的道路。
But the poor fellow hardly knew what he was about. He thought he had a nightmare.
這可憐的小鬼簡直不知道自己怎么了。他只覺得像在做噩夢。
He felt ill. His eyes saw everything double, his legs trembled, his tongue was dry, and, try as he might, he could not utter a single word.
他覺得難受，他的眼睛發(fā)花，兩腿發(fā)抖，舌頭發(fā)干，不管怎么嘗試都連一個字也說不出來。
Yet, in spite of this numbness of feeling, he suffered keenly at the thought of passing under the windows of his good little Fairy's house.
不過，盡管他這樣感覺麻木，但他要夾在兩個警察中間經(jīng)過他那好仙女的窗下的痛苦卻很清晰。
What would she say on seeing him between two Carabineers?
如果她看見自己被兩個警察夾帶著會怎么想？
They had just reached the village, when a sudden gust of wind blew off Pinocchio's cap and made it go sailing far down the street.
他們來到村邊，忽然刮來一陣風(fēng)，把皮諾喬頭上的帽子吹到了遠遠的街道一頭。
"Would you allow me," the Marionette asked the Carabineers, "to run after my cap?" -"Very well, go; but hurry."
“可以允許我把我的帽子撿起來么？”木偶對兩個警察說。－“好吧，去，但是快點。”
The Marionette went, picked up his cap--but instead of putting it on his head, he stuck it between his teeth and then raced toward the sea.
木偶走過去撿起帽子...可是卻沒戴到頭上，而是用牙咬著，撒腿就向海邊飛跑。
He went like a bullet out of a gun. The Carabineers, judging that it would be very difficult to catch him, sent a large Mastiff after him, one that had won first prize in all the dog races.
他快得像一顆出膛的子彈。火槍手認(rèn)定很難捉到他，就放出一只猛犬追他，這只猛犬在所有的賽狗比賽中都是一等獎。
Pinocchio ran fast and the Dog ran faster. At so much noise, the people hung out of the windows or gathered in the street, anxious to see the end of the contest.
皮諾喬拼命跑，可狗跑得比他快。所有的人或者把頭探出窗子，或者擠在路上，急于要看這場激烈賽跑的結(jié)果如何。
But they were disappointed, for the Dog and Pinocchio raised so much dust on the road that, after a few moments, it was impossible to see them.
可是讓他們失望的是，因為那條猛犬和皮諾喬一路上搞得灰塵滾滾，幾分鐘以后就看不見他們了。
