第27章|Chapter 27 – Pinocchio is Arrested by the Gendarmes
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。

皮诺乔一到海边，马上放眼向海上眺望，可是什么鲨鱼也没看见。大海平静得像一面水晶的镜子。

Going like the wind, Pinocchio took but a very short time to reach the shore. He glanced all about him, but there was no sign of a Shark. The sea was as smooth as glass.

Pinocchio, although alone, defended himself bravely. With those two wooden feet of his, he worked so fast that his opponents kept at a respectful distance. Wherever they landed, they left their painful mark and the boys could only run away and howl.

孩子们眼看不能同木偶肉搏，气得要命，心想最好还是扔东西，就打开书包，开始向他扔语文课本、文法书、小戒尺、小零碎、图瓦尔的故事书、巴契尼的《小鸡》以及其他教科书。可是木偶眼疾手快，全都及时躲开，因此书一本本地打他头上飞过去，全落到海里去了。

Enraged at not being able to fight the Marionette at close quarters, they started to throw all kinds of books at him. Readers, geographies, histories, grammars flew in all directions. But Pinocchio was keen of eye and swift of movement, and the books only passed over his head, landed in the sea, and disappeared.

The fish, thinking they might be good to eat, came to the top of the water in great numbers. Some took a nibble, some took a bite, but no sooner had they tasted a page or two, than they spat them out with a wry face, as if to say:"What a horrid taste! Our own food is so much better!"

Thinking it would make a fine missile, one of the boys took hold of it and threw it with all his strength at Pinocchio’s head. But instead of hitting the Marionette, the book struck one of the other boys, who, as pale as a ghost, cried out faintly: "Oh, Mother, help! I’m dying!" and fell senseless to the ground.

Oh, how much better it would have been, a thousand times better, if only I had gone to school! Why did I listen to those boys? They always were a bad influence! And to think that the teacher had told me -- and my mother, too! -- ’Beware of bad company!’ That’s what she said. But I’m stubborn and proud. I listen, but always I do as I wish. And then I pay.

They did not have to repeat their words. The Marionette walked swiftly along the road to the village. But the poor fellow hardly knew what he was about. He thought he had a nightmare. He felt ill. His eyes saw everything double, his legs trembled, his tongue was dry, and, try as he might, he could not utter a single word. Yet, in spite of this numbness of feeling, he suffered keenly at the thought of passing under the windows of his good little Fairy’s house. What would she say on seeing him between two Carabineers?

不等他们说第二遍，木偶就走起来了。他们走的这条小道是进村的，这可怜小鬼简直不知道自己是不是还活着。他只觉得像在做梦，而做的是多可怕的恶梦啊!他完全吓得魂不附体。他的眼睛发花，两腿发抖，舌头贴着上腭，连一个字也说不出来。不过他尽管这样昏昏迷迷，还是感到心里像针扎似地痛，因为他想到，他要夹在两个警察中间经过他那好仙女的窗下。他真情愿死了拉倒。

The Carabineers, judging that it would be very difficult to catch him, sent a large Mastiff after him, one that had won first prize in all the dog races. Pinocchio ran fast and the Dog ran faster. At so much noise, the people hung out of the windows or gathered in the street, anxious to see the end of the contest. But they were disappointed, for the Dog and Pinocchio raised so much dust on the road that, after a few moments, it was impossible to see them.
