《黑骏马》第7章 乔·格林(4)（在线收听）

The doctor was a heavier man than John，and not so good a rider，but I did my very best．

医生比约翰重，而且骑术不太好，不过我拼尽全力。

Joe was waiting at the gate and the master was at the Hall door．He did not say a word．

乔在大门口等着，主人则在大宅门口等着。他一言不发。

The doctor went into the house with him，and Joe led me to the stable．

医生随他进了房间，乔把我带回马厩。

My legs were shaking and there was not a dry hair on my body．The water ran down my legs and I was hot all over．Poor Joe！

我的腿在瑟瑟发抖，全身上下没有一根毛是于的。汗水顺着腿流下来，我全身热得要命。可怜的乔！

He was young and knew very little．

他小小年纪，懂得很少。

He did the best he could，cleaning my legs and my chest，but he did not put a warm cloth on me；he thought I was so hot that I would not like it．

他尽他所能，洗干净我的腿和胸，可是没有给我盖上暖和的布，他觉得我已经很热了，可能不会喜欢盖布。

He gave me some cold water to drink，then he gave me some food and went away．

他喂了我一些冷水和一些食物，然后就走开了。

Soon I began to shake and tremble with cold，and I ached all over．I wished John was there，but he had twelve kilometres to walk，so I tried to sleep．

很快我开始发抖，冷得直哆嚏，浑身上下都痛。我真希望约翰在，但是，他得步行12公里，我只好试着睡觉。

After a long time，I heard John at the door．I gave a low cry，and he was at my side in a moment．

过了很久，我听见约的在门口。我低低地呜咽了一声，他立刻来到我身旁。

I could not tell him how I felt，but he seemed to know immediately．He covered me with three warm cloths，then ran for some hot water and made me a warm drink．

我没法儿告诉他我的感觉，但他似乎立刻就明白了。他给我盖了3块暖和的布，跑去取了些热水让我趁热喝下。
