What with entertainments and parties, the hours, the days, the weeks passed like lightning.
在娛樂和派對中，一個鐘頭又一個鐘頭，一天又一天，一個星期又一個星期，像閃電似地過去了。
"Oh, what a beautiful life this is!" said Pinocchio each time that, by chance, he met his friend Lamp-Wick.
“噢！多美的生活啊！”皮諾喬每次碰到小燈芯就說。
"Was I right or wrong?" answered Lamp-Wick. "And to think you did not want to come!
“我的話沒錯吧？”小燈芯回答說，“還說你不想來呢！
To think that even yesterday the idea came into your head to return home to see your Fairy and to start studying again!

If today you are free from pencils and books and school, you owe it to me, to my advice, to my care.

Do you admit it? Only true friends count, after all."
你承認嗎？畢竟只有真正的朋友才會這么做。”
"It's true, Lamp-Wick, it's true. If today I am a really happy boy, it is all because of you.
“你說得對，小燈芯，你說得對。今天我成為真正快活的孩子，全都多虧了你。
And to think that the teacher, when speaking of you, used to say, 'Do not go with that Lamp-Wick! He is a bad companion and some day he will lead you astray.'"
可你知道老師跟我是怎么講你的？他總是說：‘別跟小燈芯在一起，小燈芯是個壞伙伴，只會把你引入歧途?！?/p>
