As the crowds came and went, he strolled with them past the bell tower, the tallest in all the world.
隨著人流川流不息，他跟著他們一同漫步，走過了全世界最高的鐘塔。
In its belfry chimes were ringing, and all of Seville was glad and joyous.
鐘塔的鐘聲響起了，所有塞維爾人民歡呼雀躍。
Pepin wandered through a garden where roses climbed the hedges around him and peacocks spread their tails before a fountain.
佩平漫游到了一處花園，玫瑰花爬上了他周圍的樹籬上，噴泉前面的孔雀展開了翅膀。
There was so much to see that it was hard to stop and work, but remembering the box hanging from his shoulder,
有很多要看的東西，很難停下來工作，但他記得他懸掛在肩上的箱子。
Pepin turned back to the crowded streets. He came to the Street of the Serpents, so narrow that only foot passengers were allowed within it,
佩平走回了熙攘的街道，他來到了蛇街，街道很狹窄，只能容下走路的游客進入。
and yet it is the main shopping street of Seville; Pepin knew that he would find work here. He took up his stand near the post box,
但這里是塞維爾的主要購物街區，佩平知道他會在這里找到工作，他在郵箱附近占據了一個位置，
where letters were dropped through the mouth of a carved lion. And now Pepin was busy cleaning shoes.
人們將信件放在一頭雕刻的獅子嘴中，如今佩平忙著擦鞋。
He rubbed and polished, and his pockets jingled with pennies. Easter passed, but the crowds still lingered in Seville,
他擦鞋，將鞋打亮，他的口袋中的錢叮當響，復活節過去了，但人群還依然在塞維爾，
for now it was time for the fair. The streets were hung with flowers and colored lights.
如今到了集市的時間了，大街上懸掛著花朵和彩色燈。
Booths had been built along the way, where friends greeted friends. There were dancing and singing.

There were merry-go-rounds and slides for the children. Every one was happy, and shoes must be polished neatly
還有為孩子準備的旋轉木馬和滑梯，每個人都很高興，鞋子一定會擦得锃亮，
so as not to shame the gay shawls and lace headdresses which the Spanish girls wore so prettily.
這樣才不會讓西班牙女孩穿戴如此美麗的披巾和蕾絲頭巾失色。
Pepin worked and played and worked some more. When the fair was over, he had earned enough money to last him through the summer.
佩平既工作又玩耍，然后繼續工作，當集市結束后，他掙的錢足夠他度過整個夏天。
He hid the money in his saddle bag, and remounted the donkey. Then he turned its head toward Ronda,

and began his long journey, for he must take the donkey back to his brother who had been walking to the grist mill so that Pepin could ride.
他開啟了一段很長的旅程，因為他必須將驢還給他的哥哥，哥哥一直是走著去的谷物磨坊廠，這樣佩平才能騎驢。
