0:12 The window was open, so I knew Pap had climbed in using the shed 窗户开着，所以我知道爸爸是从棚屋爬进来的。
0:17 For a while we just looked at each other 有一会儿，我们只是互相看着。
0:20 I used to be scared of Pap all the time because he beat me so much 我以前一直很怕爸爸，因为他老是打我。
0:24 I was scared now, for a minute, but then I looked at him more closely 那一瞬间我确实很害怕，但接着我更仔细地看了看他。
0:30 Pap was about fifty years old now, and he looked his age 爸爸现在大约五十岁了，看起来就是这么老。
0:35 His skin was as white as a fish belly, and he had long tangled greasy black hair 他的皮肤像鱼肚子一样白，长着又长又乱、油腻腻的黑头发。
0:41 His clothes were just rags, and his toes stuck out through the ends of his boots 他的衣服只是些破布，脚趾头从靴子头上戳了出来。
0:47 Finally Pap said," Those are starchy clothes you're wearing 最后爸爸说：“你穿的可是挺括的好衣服啊。
0:52 You're educated too, they say — you can read and write 听说你还受过教育——能读会写的。
0:56 You think you're better than your father now, don't you, because I can't read? 现在你觉得你比你爹强了，是吧，就因为我不会读书？”
1:00 Who told you that you could do this foolishness, huh?" 谁允许你做这种蠢事的，嗯？
1:03 " The Widow Douglas. She told me," I said “道格拉斯寡妇。她让我去的。”我说。
1:07 " The widow, huh? Well, I'll teach her not to interfere “那个寡妇，嗯？哼，我得教训教训她，让她别多管闲事。
1:11 And listen to me. You drop that school or I'll give you a beating 你给我听好了。马上退学，不然我就揍你一顿。
1:15 I won't let people bring up a boy to think he's better than his own father! Say, let me hear you read." 我可不会让人把一个孩子养得觉得比自己的老子还强！来，读点东西给我听听。
1:22 I picked up a book and began to read aloud 我拿起一本书，开始大声朗读。
1:27 After half a minute, he knocked the book out of my hand 半分钟后，他把我手里的书打掉了。
1:31 " It's true," he said." You can do it." “是真的，”他说，“你还真会读。”
1:34 Then he went on," I see you have a bed, a mirror, and a carpet on the floor — while your own father has to sleep with the pigs 然后他接着说：“我看你有床，有镜子，地板上还铺着地毯——可你的亲爹却得跟猪睡在一起。
1:42 I've been in town for two days, and I keep hearing that you're rich. That's why I came." 我在镇上待了两天了，总听人说你发财了。我就是为这个来的。”
1:49 " I don't have any money," I said “我没钱。”我说。
1:52 " That's a lie. Judge Thatcher is keeping it for you “胡说，撒切尔法官替你保管着呢。
1:55 You get me that money tomorrow. I want it!" 你明天就去把钱给我拿来。我要那笔钱！”
1:58 Then Pap made me give him the dollar I had in my pocket 然后，老爸逼我把口袋里的一块钱给了他。
2:01 He said he was going to town to get some whiskey 他说他要去镇上买点威士忌。
2:06 The next day Pap was drunk. He went to Judge Thatcher's and threatened him, but Judge Thatcher wouldn't give him the money 第二天老爸喝醉了。他跑到撒切尔法官家威胁他，但撒切尔法官不肯给钱。
2:14 Judge Thatcher and the Widow Douglas wanted to take me away from Pap and have one of them be my guardian 撒切尔法官和道格拉斯寡妇想把我从老爸身边带走，让他们中的一位当我的监护人。
2:21 There was a new judge in court, however, who had just come to town 可是，法庭上来了位刚到镇上的新法官。
2:25 He didn't know what my father was like 他不了解我父亲的为人。
2:28 The judge said that the courts shouldn't split up families 这位法官说，法庭不该拆散家庭。
2:32 He said that I had to stay with Pap 他说我必须跟爸爸待在一起。
2:36 As soon as my father heard this, he told me that he'd beat me until I was covered with bruises unless I got him some money 我爸一听这话，就对我说，除非我给他弄到钱，否则就把我打得浑身是伤。
2:45 I borrowed three dollars from Judge Thatcher and gave it to Pap, and he used the money to get drunk 我从撒切尔法官那儿借了三块钱给了爸，他拿这钱去喝了个烂醉。
2:52 Later at night he made so much noise in the street that he was arrested and put in jail for a week 到了深夜，他在街上大吵大闹，结果被抓起来关了一个星期。
2:59 When Pap got out of jail, the new judge still thought he could help him 爸出狱时，那位新法官依然觉得能帮到他。
3:03 He took Pap into his own home, fed him, and gave him new clothes 他把爸带到自己家里，给他饭吃，还给他新衣服。
3:09 Pap cried and promised that he would become a better man 爸哭了，保证说自己会改好。
3:13 The judge and his family believed him, but after a couple of days, my father traded his new coat for whiskey and got drunk again 法官和他家人都信了他，可没过两天，我爸就拿新外套换了威士忌，又喝醉了。
3:22 He fell off the judge's porch and broke his arm in two places 他从法官家门廊上摔下来，胳膊断了两处。
3:26 After that, the judge stopped trying to help Pap 打那以后，法官就不再管爸了。
3:31 I still lived at the Widow Douglas' house, and I still went to school 我还住在道格拉斯寡妇家，也还去上学。
3:36 But when Pap's arm was healed, he started chasing me again and demanding money 可等爸的胳膊一好，他又开始追着我要钱。
3:40 If I didn't have any, he'd hit me 我要是没有，他就打我。
3:44 So I started to borrow money from Judge Thatcher and give it to Pap 于是我开始向撒切尔法官借钱，再交给爸。
3:50 Then he'd buy whiskey, get drunk, and be sent to jail for a few days. This went on for a while 然后他就去买威士忌，喝醉了，被关几天牢。就这样反复了一阵子。
3:57 Finally, one day in the spring, Pap grabbed me and took me up the river in a small boat 终于，春天里有一天，爸一把抓住我，用小船把我带到了河的上游。
4:03 We landed at a place where there were no houses — just an old log hut hidden in the woods 我们在一处没有房子的地方上了岸——只有一间藏在林子里的旧木屋。
4:10 Pap kept me with him all the time, and I never got a chance to run away 爸一直把我拴在身边，我根本没机会逃跑。
4:15 He always locked the door and he put the key under his head when he slept 他总是锁着门，睡觉时还把钥匙压在脑袋底下。
4:19 We fished and hunted, and that was how we got food 我们捕鱼打猎，就靠这个弄吃的。
4:24 Sometimes Pap locked me in the cabin and traveled down the river to a store 有时候，爸把我锁在屋里，自己顺河去下边的商店。
4:29 There he traded our fish and the animals we killed for whiskey 在那儿，他用我们打的鱼和猎物换威士忌。
4:34 I began to enjoy my new lazy life with no books or studying 我开始喜欢上这种不用读书学习、懒洋洋的新生活了。
4:39 Two months went by and my clothes were all dirty rags again 两个月过去了，我的衣服又全都成了脏兮兮的破布。
4:43 I couldn't understand how I'd ever liked my life at the widow's house, where I had to wash, eat off a plate, and go to bed at a regular time 我真不明白，我以前怎么会喜欢寡妇家的生活，在那儿又得洗澡，又得用盘子吃饭，还得按时上床睡觉。
4:53 But Pap's behavior became worse. He beat me so much that I had bruises all over me 可爸的行为越来越恶劣。他常常打我，打得我浑身青一块紫一块。
4:59 One time he went away and left me locked up for three days 有一次他外出，把我锁在屋里整整三天。
5:04 I made up my mind that I would have to get away from him. But how? 我打定主意，非得从他身边逃走不可。可怎么逃呢？
