That's a good boy, said the little gentleman. Never mind your brothers. I'll talk to them.
矮小的紳士說，你是個好男孩，不要管你的兄弟們，我會和他們說。
Pray, sir, don't do any such thing, said Gluck. I can't let you stay till they come; they'd be the death of me.
格拉克說求您了先生，不要這么做，我不能留到他們回來，他們會殺死我的。
Dear me, said the old gentleman, I'm very sorry to hear that. How long may I stay?
老紳士說哦天啊，聽到這個我很難過，我能待多久？
Only till the mutton's done, sir, replied Gluck; and it's very brown.
格拉克回答道，您只能待到羊肉熟了，待到它變成棕色。
Then the old gentleman walked into the kitchen and sat himself down close to the fire,
老紳士走進廚房，坐在離火近的地方，
with the top of his cap reaching up the chimney, for it was a great deal too high for the roof.
他頭頂的帽子要夠到煙囪了，對于天花板而言，他的帽子實在太高了。
You'll soon dry there, sir, said Gluck; and sat down again to turn the mutton. But the old gentleman did not dry.
格拉克說，您一會就能干了，他再次坐下來轉向羊肉，但老紳士沒有干。
He went on drip, drip, dripping among the ashes, and the fire fizzed, and sputtered, and began to look very black.
他在煙灰周圍擰干，火發出了滋滋聲，噼啪飛濺，火開始變得很黑。
Surely, never was there such a cloak; every fold in it ran water like a little river. I beg pardon, sir, said Gluck at length,
從來沒有像這樣的斗篷，它的每一層折疊都像是有條小河，格拉克最終說對不起，
after watching for a quarter of an hour the water spreading in long streams over the floor,
經歷了25分鐘后，整個地面流淌著一條條長河，
may I take your cloak? No, thank you, said the old gentleman.
我幫您拿斗篷？老紳士說不謝謝。
Your cap, sir? I am all right, thank you, said the old gentleman, rather gruffly.
您的帽子？老紳士略顯粗暴地說著，我可以謝謝。
But, sir, I'm very sorry, said Gluck, but, really, sir, you're, putting the fire out.
格拉克說對不起先生，您將火撲滅了。
It'll take longer to do the mutton, then, replied his visitor. Gluck was very much puzzled by the behavior of his guest,
訪客說，這將需要更長的時間烤羊肉，格拉克對訪客的行為感到不解，
who was sometimes bold and commanding and other times humble. He turned away for another five minutes.
他有時很莽撞，感覺頤指氣使，有時卻很謙遜，他轉過去又待了五分鐘。
That mutton looks very nice, said the old gentleman at length. Can't you give me a little bit? Impossible, sir, said Gluck.
老紳士最終說，羊肉看起來不錯，你能給我一點嗎？格拉克說不可能先生。
