FAREWELL.
最后的告別。
Monday, 10th.
周一，10日。
At one o'clock we all assembled once more for the last time at the school,
午后一點，最后一次我們又齊集學校，
to hear the results of the examinations, and to take our little promotion books.
聽候發表成績。帶上我們的小升級書。
The street was thronged with parents, who had even invaded the big hall, and many had made their way into the class-rooms,
學校附近擠滿了學生的父母們，有的等在門口，有的進了教室，
thrusting themselves even to the master's desk: in our room they filled the entire space between the wall and the front benches.
連先生的座位旁也都擠滿了。我們的教室中，教壇前也滿是人。
There were Garrone's father, Derossi's mother, the blacksmith Precossi, Coretti, Signora Nelli,
卡隆的父親，代洛西的母親，鐵匠的波來可西，可萊諦的父親，耐利的母親，
the vegetable-vender, the father of the little mason, Stardi's father,
就是那賣野菜的，“小石匠”的父親，斯帶地的父親，
and many others whom I had never seen; and on all sides a whispering and a hum were audible, that seemed to proceed from the square outside.
此外還有許多我所向不認識的人們。全室中充滿了錯雜的低語聲。
The master entered, and a profound silence ensued. He had the list in his hand, and began to read at once.
先生一到教室，室中就立刻肅靜，先生手里拿著成績表，當場宣讀：
"Abatucci, promoted, sixty seventieths. Archini, promoted, fifty-five seventieths."--The little mason promoted; Crossi promoted.
“亞巴泰西六十七分，及格。亞爾克尼五十五分，及格?！薄靶∈场币布案窳?，克洛西也及格了。
Then he read loudly:-- "Ernesto Derossi, promoted, seventy seventieths, and the first prize."
先生又大聲地說：“代洛西七十分，及格，一等獎?！?/div>
All the parents who were there--and they all knew him--said:-- "Bravo, bravo, Derossi!"
到場的父母們都齊聲贊許說：“了不得，了不得，代洛西?！?/div>
And he shook his golden curls, with his easy and beautiful smile, and looked at his mother, who made him a salute with her hand.
代洛西披著金發，微笑著朝他母親看，母親舉手和他招呼。
Garoffi, Garrone, the Calabrian promoted. Then three or four sent back;
卡洛斐、卡隆、格拉勃利亞少年，都及格了，落第的有三四個人。
and one of them began to cry because his father, who was at the entrance, made a menacing gesture at him.
其中有一個因見他父親站在門口裝手勢要斥責他，就哭了起來。
But the master said to the father:-- "No, sir, excuse me; it is not always the boy's fault; it is often his misfortune.
先生和他父親說： “不要這樣，落第并不全是小孩的不好，大都由于不幸。
