And I dip down into a wee valley where there's a stream and woods running through it.
我闖進進了一處小山谷，里面有小溪和森林。
The woods and the stream are out of bounds so, naturally, us Belfast boys had to go check it, right?
那里是禁區，所以，很自然的我們這些貝爾法斯特小孩要進去一看。
The woods and the stream seemed like the Amazon to us.
森林和小溪，對我們來是就像是亞馬遜叢林。
As we come across, these young fellows from Cork...there's some banter about our accents...They could barely talk we couldn't understand what they were saying.
我們一過去，那些來自考克的小孩子，拿我們的口音開玩笑和他們幾乎說不上話，我們聽不懂他們在說些什么。
You get the idea that they are lording it over us...Looking down on us, I'm sensing it anyway.
你瞧，他們在我們面前耍威風，看不起我們，我能感受到。
We run along...and we come up with this idea to go down to the stream and check it out for fish.
我們跑開了...我們有了個主意，想到小溪看看那里是否有魚。
So we went to the river, Don...stream, and there's half a foot of water there...and a silver fish, but nothing substantial.
所以我們向小河走去，閣下... 那條小溪，只有到膝蓋那么深...有些小銀魚，但沒什么特別的。
until one of our boys calls us further down.
直到有個人叫大家往下游去。
Lying in the water is a wee foal...four or five days old. he was all skin and bone, a gray color.
那里躺著一匹小馬駒...四五天大，皮包骨頭，灰色的毛。
And it's got flakes of blood in his coat because he's cut himself up really badly in the sharp rocks.
它皮膚上有著一層血跡，因為在鋒利的巖石山割傷了自己。
We were standing over him and you could see his back legs snapped...He's breathing, he's alive, but just about.
我們站在他旁邊，你可以看到他的后腿斷了，還有呼吸，但活不久了。
So this big conversation gets started up between the boys who suddenly reckon themselves the leaders...and deliberating as what we should do.
于是那些自以為是首領的孩子們，開始鬧哄哄地討論，考慮我們該怎么辦。
Someone says drop a rock on his head, but I'm looking in their faces and I can see they are either scared stiff or clueless.
有人說用石頭砸他的頭，但我看著他們的臉，知道他們要么恐懼要么茫然。
It's all bravado.
完全是在逞能。
And this foal on the ground in real pain.
地上的小馬駒真的很痛苦。
All this chitchat going on going nowhere.
這些嘰嘰喳喳根本討論不出結果。
Next thing, one of the priests sees us, sees the foal, tells us not to move it and that we were done for...We were really done for.
接著，一個牧師看見了我們，看見了這匹小馬駒，讓我們不要動它，以及我們完蛋了，我們真的完蛋了。
Group of boys will always get the blame for hurting a foal. A group of Belfast boys will get a hammering for sure.
一群小男孩總會因為受傷的小馬而被怪罪。一群貝爾法斯特的男孩肯定會受到重重的懲罰。
