《木偶奇遇记》是意大利著名儿童文学作家卡洛·科洛迪(Carlo Collodi,1826—1890年)脍炙人口的代表作,被誉为“意大利儿童读物的杰作”“意大利儿童读物中最美的书”。 卡洛·科洛迪原名卡洛·洛伦齐尼,1826年11月24日出生在意大利托斯卡纳地区科洛迪小镇。他的笔名便是由这个小镇的名称而来。科洛迪精通法文,曾翻译过法国作家贝洛的童话。他也曾写过许多短篇小说、随笔、评论,还写过《小手杖游意大利》《小手杖地理》《快乐的故事》等童书,其中最著名的是他的童话故事《木偶奇遇记》,这个童话想象力丰富,人物形象栩栩如生,故事情节曲折动人,为他赢得了盛誉。
意大利著名学者达尼埃拉·玛凯斯基教授曾经这样说过:“在世界范围内,除了《圣经》和《古兰经》之外,《木偶奇遇记》是拥有读者最多、销量最高的作品。”
《木偶奇遇记》说的是一个名叫杰佩托的没有孩子的老头,用木头雕刻出了一个既会跳舞、击剑,又会翻跟头的木偶人,给他起名叫匹诺曹。虽然匹诺曹一直想做一个好孩子,但他难改身上的坏毛病。他逃学,撒谎,结交坏朋友,屡教不改。后来,一个天蓝色头发的仙女教育了他,每当他说谎时,他的鼻子就长一截,如果他连说三次谎,鼻子长得连在屋里转身都转不成了。这时,匹诺曹才开始醒悟,但他还是经不住坏孩子引诱,又跟着他们去了玩具国。几个月后,匹诺曹的头上长出了一对驴耳朵,变成了一头驴子,并被卖到了马戏团。不久,匹诺曹在演出中摔断了腿,又被马戏团老板卖给了商人去剥皮做鼓面。在这紧急关头,还是仙女解救了他。最后,匹诺曹决定痛改前非,在美丽善良的仙女姐姐的帮助下逐渐改掉了坏毛病,终于修成了正果。
《木偶奇遇记》语言生动幽默,想象丰富大胆,充满了无尽的童趣,超越了时代、国界和年龄的限制,使我们重新回望过去,重访童年的家园,为漂泊的心找回了镜子里的自己。

这时候天开始黑了,皮诺乔猛想起他还没吃过点东西,就觉得肚子在咕噜咕噜叫,真想吃。

1
-

If the Cricket’s death scared Pinocchio at all, it was only for a very few moments. For, as night came on, a queer, empty feeling at the pit of his stomach reminded the Marionette that he had eaten nothing as yet.

2
-

孩子是这样,一想到吃就越来越想吃,说真个的,几分钟工夫,想吃就变成了肚子饿,肚子越来越饿,饿得他像只饿狼,饿得他肚子像刀绞。

2
-

A boy’s appetite grows very fast, and in a few moments the queer, empty feeling had become hunger, and the hunger grew bigger and bigger, until soon he was as ravenous as a bear.

3
-

可怜的皮诺乔马上向壁炉扑过去,那儿有个锅子在冒热气,他打算揭开锅盖,看看里面在煮什么,谁知那锅子是画在墙上的,诸位想象一下吧,他是多么失望啊,他那个本来已经很长的鼻子,马上又至少长了四指。

3
-

Poor Pinocchio ran to the fireplace where the pot was boiling and stretched out his hand to take the cover off, but to his amazement the pot was only painted! Think how he felt! His long nose became at least two inches longer.

4
-

于是他满屋子乱跑,搜遍了所有的抽屉、所有的角落,只想找到点面包,哪怕是一丁点儿干面包,只想找到点硬面包皮、狗啃过的骨头、发霉的玉米糊、鱼骨头、樱桃核,总而言之,随便找到什么可以进口的东西都好,可他什么也没找到,一丁点儿东西也没找到。

4
-

He ran about the room, dug in all the boxes and drawers, and even looked under the bed in search of a piece of bread, hard though it might be, or a cookie, or perhaps a bit of fish. A bone left by a dog would have tasted good to him! But he found nothing.

5
-

这时他肚子越来越饿,越来越饿,可怜的皮诺乔,他除了打哈欠,就毫无办法可以让肚子好过一点儿。他的哈欠打得那么长,每一回嘴巴都一直咧到耳朵边。打完一个哈欠他就吐口水,只觉得胃也要吐出来了。

5
-

And meanwhile his hunger grew and grew. The only relief poor Pinocchio had was to yawn; and he certainly did yawn, such a big yawn that his mouth stretched out to the tips of his ears. Soon he became dizzy and faint.

6
-

最后他绝望了,哭着说:

6
-

He wept and wailed to himself:

7
-

“会说话的蟋蟀说得对,我错就错在不听爸爸的话,逃出了屋子……我爸爸要是在这儿,这会儿我就不会一个劲儿打哈欠,人都要打死了!唉哟!肚子饿多难受啊!”

7
-

"The Talking Cricket was right. It was wrong of me to disobey Father and to run away from home. If he were here now, I wouldn’t be so hungry! Oh, how horrible it is to be hungry!"

8
-

正在这时候,他看到一堆垃圾里好像有一样东西,圆滚滚的、白花花的,完全像个鸡蛋。他一蹦就跳了过去,扑到它上面,的的确确是个鸡蛋。

8
-

Suddenly, he saw, among the sweepings in a corner, something round and white that looked very much like a hen’s egg. In a jiffy he pounced upon it. It was an egg.

9
-

木偶这份高兴是只可意会,无法形容的,他简直像在做梦,一个劲儿把鸡蛋捧在手上,转过来转过去,又摸又吻,一面吻还一面说:

9
-

The Marionette’s joy knew no bounds. It is impossible to describe it, you must picture it to yourself. Certain that he was dreaming, he turned the egg over and over in his hands, fondled it, kissed it, and talked to it:

10
-

“这会儿我该怎么吃这个蛋呢,煎来吃不好吗?……不,放在盘子里煮更好!……噢,用煎锅煎最好,还有比煎鸡蛋更好吃的吗?噢,不弄熟怎么样,就生着吃?不,还是放在盘子里煮,或者用煎锅煎好,我想吃得要命啦!”

10
-

"And now, how shall I cook you? Shall I make an omelet? No, it is better to fry you in a pan! Or shall I drink you? No, the best way is to fry you in the pan. You will taste better."

11
-

说干就干,他把煎锅放在一个烧炭的火盆上,在煎锅里他放的不是素油不是牛油,而是水。等到水一冒气,卡嗒!……他敲破鸡蛋壳,就要把蛋倒进去。

11
-

No sooner said than done. He placed a little pan over a foot warmer full of hot coals. In the pan, instead of oil or butter, he poured a little water. As soon as the water started to boil -- tac! -- he broke the eggshell.

12
-

可蛋壳里倒出来的不是蛋白和蛋黄,而是一只小鸡。小鸡又快活又有礼貌,姿势优美地鞠个躬说:

12
-

But in place of the white and the yolk of the egg, a little yellow Chick, fluffy and gay and smiling, escaped from it. Bowing politely to Pinocchio, he said to him:

13
-

“多谢您,皮诺乔先生,您让我省了力气,不用去弄破蛋壳啦!再见,祝您好,请代我问候您一家人!”

13
-

"Many, many thanks, indeed, Mr. Pinocchio, for having saved me the trouble of breaking my shell! Good-by and good luck to you and remember me to the family!"

14
-

它说着拍拍翅膀,从打开的窗子飞出去,不见了。

14
-

With these words he spread out his wings and, darting to the open window, he flew away into space till he was out of sight.

15
-

可怜的木偶站在那里发呆,眼睛瞪大,嘴巴张开,手里拿着两瓣鸡蛋壳。他这么愣了一阵,等到最后清醒过来,就哇哇地又哭又叫,绝望得跺脚,一面哭一面说:

15
-

The poor Marionette stood as if turned to stone, with wide eyes, open mouth, and the empty halves of the egg-shell in his hands. When he came to himself, he began to cry and shriek at the top of his lungs, stamping his feet on the ground and wailing all the while:

16
-

“还是会说话的蟋蟀说得对!如果我不从家里进出去,如果我爸爸在这儿,这会儿我就不会饿得要命了!噢,肚子饿多难受啊!”

16
-

"The Talking Cricket was right! If I had not run away from home and if Father were here now, I should not be dying of hunger. Oh, how horrible it is to be hungry!"

17
-

肚子继续咕噜咕噜响,越响越厉害,他又不知道该怎么办才叫它不响,他觉得还是离开屋子,到隔壁村子去看看,巴望能碰到个好心人,会施舍点面包给他吃吃。

17
-

And as his stomach kept grumbling more than ever and he had nothing to quiet it with, he thought of going out for a walk to the near-by village, in the hope of finding some charitable person who might give him a bit of bread.
