Paul’s eyes brightened. “Robinson Crusoe,” he answered eagerly. “It’s awfully exciting. I’ve just got to the place where—"
保羅的眼睛就明亮了。“《魯賓遜漂流記》，”他急切地回答。“這是非常令人興奮的。我剛讀到…的地方”
“Never read it,” interrupted the larger fellow. Lounging back against the leather cushions, he surveyed the slim, rather pale-faced boy with curiosity. “Do you read all the time?” he asked.
“沒(méi)有看過(guò)，”大個(gè)子打斷了他的話。他靠在皮靠墊上，好奇地打量著這個(gè)瘦削的、臉色蒼白的男孩。“你總是讀書(shū)嗎？”他問(wèn)。
“Why, no—not all the time,” Paul answered slowly. “But just now there’s nothing else to do.”
“為什么，不，不是所有的時(shí)間，”保羅回答緩慢。“但現(xiàn)在沒(méi)有別的事可做。”
Bill grunted. “Nothing else to do! Gee-whiz! Don’t you ever feel like going for a tramp or something? I suppose you can’t snowshoe, or ski, but I shouldn’t think you would want to stay in the house all the time.”
比爾哼了一聲。“沒(méi)別的事情可做！哇塞!你從來(lái)沒(méi)有想過(guò)要去做流浪漢什么的嗎? 我想你不會(huì)穿雪鞋，也不會(huì)滑雪，但我不認(rèn)為你會(huì)想一直呆在家里。”
A faint, nervous smile curved the boy’s lips. “Oh, I can ski and snowshoe all right. Everybody does where I live in Canada. Often it’s the only way to get about.”
男孩緊張地微微一笑，嘴角彎了彎。“哦，我會(huì)滑雪和穿雪鞋。在我住的加拿大，每個(gè)人都這樣做。”
“Oh, I see.” Bill’s tone was no longer curt, and a sudden look of interest had flashed into his eyes. “But don’t you like it? Doesn’t this snow make you want to try some stunts? Come on out and let’s see what you can do.”
“哦，我知道了。”比爾的語(yǔ)氣不再生硬，他的眼睛里突然閃過(guò)一絲興趣。“但是你不喜歡嗎？這雪是不是讓你想試試特技？出來(lái)吧，讓我們看看你能做什么。”
