　　悲伤的抽泣着，他对他喊道：“埃乌杰尼奥！我可怜的埃乌杰尼奥！张开你的眼睛看看我！你为什么不回答我呀？

　　I was not the one who hit you, you know. Believe me, I didn't do it. Open your eyes, Eugene? If you keep them shut, I'll die, too.

　　你知道的，不是我打得你！相信我，不是我干的！张开你的眼睛吧，埃乌杰尼奥？你要是老闭着眼睛，我就也要死了。

　　Why did I listen to those boys? They always were a bad influence!

　　我为什么听这些孩子的话呢？他们一直是个坏影响！

　　And to think that the teacher had told me--and my mother, too! --'Beware of bad company!' That's what she said.

　　想想老师曾经跟我说过的……我妈妈也对我说过：‘小心坏伙伴！’

　　But I'm stubborn⁵ and proud. I listen, but always I do as I wish. And then I pay.

　　可我固执自负，他们讲他们的，我干我的！如今报应来了。

　　I've never had a moment's peace since I've been born! Oh, dear! What will become of me? What will become of me?"
