第7章|Chapter 7 – Geppetto Gives His Own Breakfast to Pinocchio
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。

可怜的皮诺乔睡眼惺忪，还没看到他的两只脚已经完全烧没了，因此他一听到父亲的声音，马上跳下凳子要跑去开门，可他身子摇了那么两三摇，一下子就直挺挺倒在地板上了。

The poor Marionette, who was still half asleep, had not yet found out that his two feet were burned and gone. As soon as he heard his Father’s voice, he jumped up from his seat to open the door, but, as he did so, he staggered and fell headlong to the floor.

杰佩托先还想骂他打他，可等到看到他躺在地上，当真没有脚，心马上软了下来，他赶紧搂住皮诺乔的脖子，把他抱在怀里，抚摸了他成千遍，哄了他成千回，大滴大滴的眼泪流下腮帮，哭着说：

At first he was very angry, but on seeing Pinocchio stretched out on the floor and really without feet, he felt very sad and sorrowful. Picking him up from the floor, he fondled and caressed him, talking to him while the tears ran down his cheeks:

“不知道，爸爸，可请您相信，这是个可怕的冬夜，我一辈子也忘不了，又打雷，又闪电，我肚子饿得要命，当时会说话的蟋蟀对我说：‘你是活该，你不好，自作自受，’我对它说：‘你小心点，蟋蟀!……’它对我说：‘你是个木偶，有个木头脑袋，’于是我抓起个木头槌子，扔过去，它就死了，可这都怪它自己，因为我并不想打死它，我把煎锅放在火盆的炭火上，可是小鸡跑出来说：‘再见……给我向您一家人问好’，可肚子越来越饿，因此那个老头儿，戴睡帽的，把头探出窗口，对我说：你在下站着，把帽子拿好。’我头上挨了那么一盆水，讨点面包吃并不可耻，对吗?我马上回家，因为饿坏了，我把脚搁在火盆上烤干。您回来了，我的脚烧没了。可我这会儿肚子还是那么饿。脚再也没有了!噫……!噫!……噫!……噫!……”。

"I don’t know, Father, but believe me, the night has been a terrible one and I shall remember it as long as I live. The thunder was so noisy and the lightning so bright -- and I was hungry. And then the Talking Cricket said to me, ’You deserve it; you were bad;’ and I said to him, ’Careful, Cricket;’ and he said to me, ’You are a Marionette and you have a wooden head;’ and I threw the hammer at him and killed him. It was his own fault, for I didn’t want to kill him. And I put the pan on the coals, but the Chick flew away and said, ’I’ll see you again! Remember me to the family.’ And my hunger grew, and I went out, and the old man with a nightcap looked out of the window and threw water on me, and I came home and put my feet on the stove to dry them because I was still hungry, and I fell asleep and now my feet are gone but my hunger isn’t! Oh! -- Oh! -- Oh!"

杰佩托听他说了半天，只听懂一点，就是木偶饿得要死了。于是他打口袋里掏出三个梨，递给他，说：

“削皮?”杰佩托听了很惊奇，反问说，“我的孩子，我简直不能相信，你的嘴那么刁，你那么难侍候，这可不好!在这个世界上，得从小习惯什么都吃，懂得给什么吃什么，因为你永远不知道会遇到什么事情，什么事情都会有!……”

"Peel them?" asked Geppetto, very much surprised. "I should never have thought, dear boy of mine, that you were so dainty and fussy about your food. Bad, very bad! In this world, even as children, we must accustom ourselves to eat of everything, for we never know what life may hold in store for us!"

“您的话是不错，”皮诺乔接下去说，“可我永远不吃不削皮的水果，水果皮我受不了。”
