“是科林，”她说，“他在发脾气。他听起来歇斯底里的！”

She suddenly understood why people always gave in to him

旁白 neutral

Anything was better than listening to these horrible, sobbing screams

旁白 neutral

I can scream louder than you can, and I'll frighten you."

" I can't stop!" Colin gasped. He was shaking all over." I can't!"

“我停不下来！”科林喘着气，浑身发抖，“我做不到！”

旁白 neutral

" I felt a lump," choked out Colin." I'll be a hunchback. I'm going to die."

“我摸到了一个肿块，”科林哽咽着说，“我要变成驼背了。我要死了。”

旁白 neutral

" Nurse!" Mary commanded." Come here and show me his back."

" Show her!" said Colin." Then she'll see."

旁白 neutral

What a poor, thin back it was

旁白 neutral

Every rib could be counted and so could every bone of the spine

旁白 neutral

But Mary did not count them as she bent over his back and studied it solemnly

但玛丽并没有数，她俯身端正地仔细查看他的后背。

旁白 neutral

Everyone in the room waited breathlessly

房间里的人都屏息等待着。

旁白 neutral

" There's not a single lump there," Mary said at last

“那儿一个肿块都没有，” 玛丽终于说道。

旁白 neutral

" The only lumps are backbone lumps

“唯一的凸起是脊骨的凸起。

旁白 neutral

And you can only feel those because you're so thin

你之所以能摸到，只是因为太瘦了。

旁白 neutral

Mine used to stick out just as much as yours until I started getting fatter."

我的脊骨以前也跟你的一样突出，直到我开始长胖。”

旁白 neutral

" I didn't know that he thought he had a lump on his spine," said the nurse

“我不知道他以为自己脊椎上有个肿块，” 护士说。

旁白 neutral

" His back is weak because he refuses to sit up."

“他的背无力，是因为他拒绝坐起来。”

旁白 neutral

Colin lay still for a minute

科林一动不动地躺了一会儿。

旁白 neutral

Huge tears streamed down his face and wet the pillow

大滴的泪水顺着他的脸颊流下，打湿了枕头。

旁白 neutral

He felt so relieved. Finally he spoke to the nurse again

他感到大大松了口气。终于，他又跟护士说话了。

旁白 neutral

" Do you think I could live to grow up?"

“你觉得我能活着长大吗？”

旁白 neutral

" You probably could, if you do what you're told and go outside often."

“只要你听话，并且经常到外面去，你大概就能。”

旁白 neutral

Colin's tantrum had left him weak

科林发完脾气后浑身无力。

旁白 neutral

He put out his hand toward Mary, and she reached over and took it

他向玛丽伸出手，玛丽便伸手握住了它。

旁白 neutral

" I'll go out with you, Mary. I won't hate fresh air if we can find..."

“我会跟你出去，玛丽。我不会讨厌新鲜空气的，只要我们能找到……”

旁白 neutral

He stopped himself just before saying the secret garden

他差点说出秘密花园，但及时收住了口。

旁白 neutral

" I'd like to go out if Dickon would come and push my wheelchair

“如果迪肯能来帮我推轮椅，我就愿意出去。

旁白 neutral

I very much want to see him and the fox and crow."

The nurse plumped up Colin's pillow and remade his bed

护士拍松了科林的枕头，重新铺好了他的床。

旁白 neutral

Then she brought tea to Colin and Mary

旁白 neutral

" He'll need to sleep soon," she said just before she left them alone

“他很快就要睡觉了，”她说完便留下他们单独相处。

旁白 neutral

" Would you like me to sing to you?" asked Mary

“你想让我唱歌给你听吗？”玛丽问。

旁白 neutral

" What I'd really like is to hear more about the secret garden

旁白 neutral

Did you notice I almost mentioned it? Have you found out any more about it?"

你注意到我差点说漏嘴了吗？你对它还有更多发现吗？”

旁白 neutral

Mary hesitated." I think I have."

玛丽犹豫了一下。“我想是的。”

旁白 neutral

What do you think it looks like?"

旁白 neutral

" Well..." Mary gulped

“嗯……”玛丽哽咽了一下。

旁白 neutral

" I think everything has grown into a lovely tangle

“我想，那里的一切都长成了一片可爱的、纠缠交错的绿意。

旁白 neutral

There are probably lots of roses just starting to wake up

旁白 neutral

I think daffodils and snowdrops and lilies are working their way out of the ground

旁白 neutral

Maybe there are clusters of purple and gold crocuses."

旁白 neutral

She looked over at Colin, who had fallen asleep

她看向科林，他已经睡着了。

旁白 neutral

" And perhaps," she said softly," perhaps the robin has found a mate and is building a nest."
