0:13 People say that the dog is man's best friend 人们常说狗是人类最好的朋友。
0:18 They say this because dogs are loyal and loving pets 他们这么说是因为狗狗既忠诚又有爱心。
0:24 Unfortunately, man is not always a good friend to dogs 不幸的是，人类并不总是狗狗的好朋友。
0:29 This was the case with Patrasche and his master 帕特拉什和他的主人就是这样。
0:35 Patrasche was a beautiful, sandy-colored working dog from Flanders in Belgium 帕特拉什是一只漂亮的沙色工作犬，来自比利时的法兰德斯。

0:48 They could pull heavy carts and work hard for hours, like small horses 它们能拉很重的货车，像小马一样连续干上好几个小时。
0:56 When Patrasche was still a puppy, he was sold to a merchant 帕特拉什还小的时候，就被卖给了一个商人。
1:02 His new master sold pots and pans for a living 它的新主人以卖锅碗瓢盆为生。
1:07 He traveled all over Belgium with his cart of goods, from the blue sea to the green mountains 他推着货车走遍了整个比利时，从蔚蓝的大海到翠绿的山间。
1:16 Patrasche's master was a drunkard and a fat, mean man 帕特拉什的主人是个酒鬼，一个又胖又刻薄的男人。
1:22 He piled his cart high with pans, buckets, jars, brass tins, and cooking pots 他把平底锅、水桶、罐子、黄铜盒子和炖锅高高地堆在车上。
1:30 Whenever Patrasche tired from the heavy load, his master beat him without mercy 每当帕特拉什因为沉重的货物而疲惫时，它的主人就会毫不留情地殴打它。
1:39 One day, Patrasche was pulling the cart along a straight, dusty road 一天，帕特拉什沿着一条笔直、尘土飞扬的道路拉着车。
1:45 They were heading to the lovely city of Antwerp, where the great painter Rubens once lived 他们正前往美丽的安特卫普市，伟大的画家鲁本斯曾在那里生活过。
1:54 The merchant walked lazily beside the cart, smoking a pipe 商人懒洋洋地走在车旁，抽着烟斗。
2:00 It was the middle of summer and very warm 当时正值盛夏，天气非常炎热。
2:04 Patrasche's master stopped at every wine shop along the way 帕特拉什的主人沿途在每一家酒馆前都要停下来。
2:09 But poor Patrasche─his master never unhooked him from the cart or gave him a drink of water 但可怜的帕特拉什——它的主人从不解开它身上的挽具，也不给它一口水喝。
2:19 Patrasche was exhausted, but he was a hardworking dog and kept walking 帕特拉什已经筋疲力尽，但它是一只能干的狗，继续坚持走着。
2:27 When he started to slow down, his master hit him with a whip 当它开始慢下来时，主人就用鞭子抽它。
2:32 " Patrasche, you stupid dog, go faster!" he yelled “帕特拉什，你这蠢狗，快点！”他吼道。
2:39 The whip stung Patrasche's side 鞭子抽在帕特拉什的身侧，火辣辣地疼。
2:43 His eyes were full of dust and his muscles ached 它的眼睛布满灰尘，肌肉酸痛。
2:48 " Lazy beast," yelled his master “懒畜生，”主人吼道。
2:52 " We must reach Antwerp tonight “我们今晚必须赶到安特卫普。
2:55 There is a market there tomorrow." 那里明天有个集市。”
2:58 Still Patrasche pulled with his tired legs, but the effort was too much 帕特拉什仍用疲惫的腿拉着车，但实在撑不住了。
3:05 He staggered and fell over on his side 它踉跄几步，侧身倒了下去。
3:09 He lay in the middle of the dusty road, motionless in the full heat of the sun 它躺在尘土飞扬的路中央，在烈日下一动不动。
3:19 Patrasche's cruel master gave him his usual medicine─a kick in the ribs and a lash from his whip 帕特拉什残忍的主人又给了它惯常的“药”——朝它肋部踢一脚，又抽一鞭。
3:28 Patrasche had received beatings many times before but this time he did not move or cry 帕特拉什以前挨过很多次打，但这次它既没动，也没叫。
3:40 The merchant cursed Patrasche 商人咒骂着帕特拉什。
3:44 " Get up, you lazy dog!" he shouted “起来，你这懒狗！”他喊道。
3:48 " We've still got three miles to walk!" “我们还得走三英里呢！”
3:51 But Patrasche did not hear him 但帕特拉什没听见他的话。
3:54 He was too tired even to feel his master's blows 它累得连主人的殴打都感觉不到了。
4:00 The merchant cursed the poor dog again 商人又咒骂了这条可怜的狗一番。
4:04 He kicked his body off the road and into the grass 他把它的身体踢出路面，踢进草丛里。
4:08 Patrasche's master lifted the front of the cart 帕特拉什的主人抬起车的前端。
4:13 With a frown and a moan, he began to pull it down the road 他皱着眉头，哼了一声，开始自己拉着车沿路走去。
4:19 For two long, cruel years, Patrasche had worked for his master from morning to night 在漫长而残酷的两年里，帕特拉什为主人从早干到晚。
4:26 He had been loyal and strong 它一直既忠诚又强壮。
4:30 But the merchant had forgotten him already 但商人转眼就把它忘了。
4:34 Muttering to himself as he pulled his cart, the merchant left Patrasche to die 商人一边拉着车，一边喃喃自语，就这样把帕特拉什丢下等死。
4:41 " When I reach the next village, I'll steal the first dog I see wandering around," the merchant thought “等到了下一个村子，我看到的第一条乱逛的狗，就把它偷来，”商人想。
4:50 He kept walking and didn't look back 他头也不回地继续赶路。
4:53 Poor Patrasche was too exhausted even to lift his head and moan 可怜的帕特拉什筋疲力尽，连抬头呻吟的力气都没有了。
