But he did not listen to me. In my bedroom，he held my arms and started hitting me with the stick. I managed to get hold of his hand, and bit deep into it. He cried out angrily，and began to hit me as hard as he could.Above the noise of my screams, I could hear my mother and Peggotty crying outside the door. Then the next moment, he was gone. I heard him lock the door. And I was lying,soreand bleeding, on the floor. The whole house seemed suddenly very quiet.
可他并不理睬。到了我的臥房，他抓住我的雙臂，掄起木棍就打。我使勁抓住他的手，狠狠地咬了他一口。他憤怒地叫了一聲，使出渾身的勁來打我。在我一陣陣的尖叫聲背后，我聽見母親和辟果提在門外哭泣的聲音。過了一會兒，他走了。我聽見他鎖了門。我躺在地上，渾身疼痛，還流著血。整個屋子似乎突然一下子變得寂靜了。
I stayed there for a time, without moving. In the evening Miss Murdstone brought me some bread and milk, which she left on the floor beside me，frowningangrily at me as she went out. I was kept locked in that room for five days and nights，and saw nobody except Miss Murdstone, who brought me food but never spoke to me. To a small boy, the five days seemed like years，and I can still remember how frightened and guilty I felt. But during the fifth night I heard a strange noise at the key-hole. It was Peggotty，trying to give me a message.
我一動不動地在地上躺了很長時間。晚上，摩德斯通小姐給我拿來一些面包和牛奶，放在我身邊的地上，出門時還生氣地沖我皺皺眉頭。我被鎖在房間里五天五夜，其間除了摩德斯通小姐默不作聲地給我送點食物，未見有其他任何人來。對一個孩子來說，這五天時間簡直就像數年，我至今還記得當時有多恐懼、有多內疚。第五天夜里，我聽到有一個奇怪的聲音從鎖眼里傳來。那是辟果提，設法給我送口信來了。
