0:12 The next day, the Widow Douglas washed the mud off my clothes 第二天，道格拉斯寡妇洗掉了我衣服上的泥巴。
0:17 She didn't scold me, but she looked so sad that I decided to try to be good for a while 她没有责骂我，但她看起来那么难过，于是我决定暂时努力做个好孩子。
0:23 I called my father " Pap." No one had seen him for over a year 我管我父亲叫“帕普”。已经有一年多没人见过他了。
0:28 That was fine with me. I didn't want to see Pap again because he beat me 这对我来说挺好的。我不想再见到帕普，因为他老是打我。
0:34 Then some people in St. Petersburg told me that they'd found his body in the river 后来，圣彼得堡的一些人告诉我，他们在河里发现了他的尸体。
0:40 They said the drowned man was just his size, with ragged clothes and long hair like Pap's 他们说那个溺水的人身材跟他一样，穿着破烂衣服，留着像帕普一样的长头发。
0:47 But they really couldn't recognize the face because the body had been in the water for so long 但他们实在认不出那张脸，因为尸体在水里泡得太久了。
0:53 They buried the drowned man on the riverbank 他们把那个溺水的人埋在了河岸上。
0:56 A few days later, though, I thought of something 不过，几天后，我想到了什么。
1:00 The townspeople told me they found the body floating on his back 镇上的人告诉我，他们发现尸体时，他是仰面漂在水上的。
1:04 But I had once been told that drowned men floated on their faces and only drowned women floated on their backs 我曾听人说过，淹死的男人脸朝下浮着，只有淹死的女人才脸朝上浮着。
1:12 So I decided the body must have been a woman, dressed up in men's clothes 所以我认定那具尸体一定是个女人，穿着男人的衣服。
1:17 After that, I was worried that my father would come back someday 从那以后，我就担心父亲哪天会回来。
1:22 I still played robbers sometimes with Tom and the other boys, but I was getting bored with it. It was all pretending 我有时还和汤姆还有别的男孩玩强盗游戏，但我渐渐觉得无聊了。那全是假装的。
1:31 On Saturday Tom told us that we were going to ambush some rich merchants who had two hundred elephants 星期六那天，汤姆告诉我们，我们要去伏击一些富商，他们有二百头大象、
1:37 six hundred camels, and a thousand mules loaded with diamonds 六百匹骆驼，还有一千头骡子，满载着钻石。
1:42 But that was just a story he made up 但那只是他编的故事。
1:45 Really we were just ambushing a Sunday school picnic 其实我们只是在伏击一个主日学校的野餐。
1:49 We chased the children away, but only got their doughnuts and jam 我们把孩子们赶跑了，但只拿到了他们的甜甜圈和果酱。
1:54 " I don't see any diamonds," I said to Tom “我没看见什么钻石，”我对汤姆说。
1:58 " Why, they're all right in front of you," Tom answered “哎呀，它们不就在你眼前嘛。”汤姆回答。
2:03 " And the elephants and camels too. Some magicians must have turned them into a Sunday school picnic before we got here." “还有大象和骆驼也是。肯定是哪个魔法师在我们来之前把它们变成了主日学校的野餐。”
2:11 Then Tom told me how magicians use genies to help them 接着汤姆告诉我魔法师是怎么使唤精灵帮忙的。
2:15 " Let's get some genies to come and help us," I said 我说：“我们找些精灵来帮我们吧。”
2:20 Tom explained that you have to rub a magic lamp to make a genie appear 汤姆解释说，得摩擦神灯才能让精灵现身。
2:25 Then the genie will do whatever you want 然后精灵就会对你言听计从。
2:29 A few days later I thought I would try it 过了几天，我想着试试看。
2:32 I went out into the woods with an old lamp and I rubbed it and rubbed it, but nothing happened 我带着一盏旧灯走进树林，
2:39 I think Tom really believed these things, but I didn't 我觉得汤姆是真信这些，但我不信。
2:47 Several months passed, and winter came. I went to school 几个月过去，冬天来了。我上学去了。
2:52 At first I hated it, but soon I could spell and read and write a little 一开始我很讨厌上学，但没过多久，我就能拼点单词，读点书，也会写几个字了。
2:57 I could say the multiplication tables up to six times seven. Then, school became easier for me 我还能背乘法表，一直背到六乘七。从那以后，上学对我来说就轻松多了。
3:05 I was also getting used to the Widow Douglas' house 我也慢慢习惯了道格拉斯寡妇家的生活。
3:08 The widow told me that I was doing well. She said she wasn't ashamed of me 寡妇夸我做得不错，还说我不再让她觉得丢脸了。
3:14 One morning at breakfast, I accidentally knocked over the salt shaker 有天早晨吃早饭的时候，我一不留神碰倒了盐瓶。
3:19 It is very bad luck to spill salt 把盐弄撒可是非常不吉利的。
3:22 So I reached for some of the salt to throw over my left shoulder because that's supposed to keep the bad luck away 我连忙伸手去捏点盐，想从左肩往后撒，据说这样能赶走厄运。
3:30 But Miss Watson stopped me." Take your hands away, Huckleberry," she scolded." What a mess you are always making!" 可华珍小姐却拦住了我。“把手拿开，哈克贝利，”她数落道，“你总是把这儿弄得一团糟！”
3:39 As I left the house after breakfast, I wondered when my bad luck would arrive 吃过早饭出门时，我心想，这厄运到底什么时候会来呢。
3:44 Then I saw footprints in the new snow 就在这时，我看见刚下的雪地上有几个脚印。
3:47 When I bent down to take a closer look, I noticed a cross made with big nails on the heel of the left boot. I knew that boot! 我弯下腰仔细一看，发现左脚靴子的后跟上有个用大钉子做的十字。我认得那双靴子！
3:57 I ran as fast as I could to Judge Thatcher's house 我拼命跑向撒切尔法官家。
4:01 " Why, my boy, you're all out of breath," he said." Did you come to get some of your money?" 他说：“哎呀，孩子，你跑得上气不接下气。你是来取你的钱吗？”
4:08 " No sir," I said." I don't want it! I want to give all the money to you." 我说：“不，先生，我不想要钱！我想把所有的钱都给您。”
4:15 Judge Thatcher was very surprised. He asked me whether anything was wrong 撒切尔法官非常惊讶，问我是不是出什么事了。
4:22 " Please take it," I begged him," and don't ask me anything — then I won't have to tell you any lies." 我恳求他：“请收下吧，别问我任何问题——这样我就不用对你撒谎了。”
4:30 Finally the judge agreed to buy my money from me for one dollar 最后，法官同意用一块钱买下我的钱。
4:35 He put the dollar in my hand and I left his house 他把那一块钱放到我手里，我离开了他家。
4:40 Miss Watson's black slave Jim, had a magic hairball as big as your fist 沃森小姐的黑奴吉姆有个魔法毛球，有拳头那么大。
4:45 It had come from the fourth stomach of an ox 是从牛的第四个胃里取出来的。
4:48 Jim said there was a spirit inside it that could see the future 吉姆说里面有个精灵能看到未来。
4:53 I went to see Jim that evening. I told him that I knew Pap was back and I wanted to know what he would do 那天晚上我去找吉姆，告诉他我知道帕普回来了，想知道他会做什么。
5:00 Jim got out his hairball and said some strange words to it that I couldn't understand 吉姆拿出他的毛球，对它念了些我听不懂的怪话。
5:06 Then he held it out and dropped it on the floor 然后他举起来，把它丢到地上。
5:10 He got down on his knees, put his ear against the hairball, and listened closely. He shook his head 他跪下来，把耳朵贴在毛球上仔细听，然后摇了摇头。
5:16 " The hairball won't talk without money," Jim said 吉姆说：“不给钱，毛球是不会开口的。”
5:21 I gave Jim an old brass quarter that I had in my pocket 我给了吉姆一枚我口袋里的旧铜币。
5:25 It wasn't a real coin, but maybe the hairball would take it 那不是真钱，但也许毛球会收下。
5:30 Jim put the quarter under the hairball and listened again 吉姆把铜币放到毛球下，又听了起来。
5:33 This time, Jim said the hairball would tell me my whole fortune 这次，吉姆说毛球会告诉我全部的命运。
5:39 The hairball talked to Jim, and Jim repeated it to me: 毛球对吉姆说话，吉姆转述给我听：
5:43 " Your father doesn't know yet what he's going to do, but you're going to be all right “你爸爸还不知道自己要做什么，但你会没事的。
5:49 You'll have a lot of trouble in your life, but also joy 你一生中会有很多麻烦，但也会有快乐。
5:54 And keep away from water as much as you can." 还有，尽量离水远一点。”
5:57 But when I lit my candle and went up to my room that night, there was Pap! 但那天晚上，当我点起蜡烛上楼进房间时，帕普就在那儿！
