這位可憐的紳士對(duì)譏笑非常敏感，我發(fā)現(xiàn)他對(duì)自己的所作所為頗感羞愧。

On the other side, I found that I myself had no great reason to triumph,

另一方面，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己沒(méi)有多少理由慶幸，

for as I went to touch my forehead, I missed the place, and clapped my finger upon my upper lip.

因?yàn)槲颐邦~時(shí)才知道摸錯(cuò)了地方，我的手指觸到了上唇。

Besides, as my nose was exceedingly prominent, I gave it two or three unlucky knocks as I was playing my hand about my face, and aiming at some other part of it.

還有，我的鼻子特別突出。我摸自己臉時(shí)，敲打了幾下，五官位置都變了。

I saw two other gentlemen by me who were in the same ridiculous circumstances.

我瞧身邊的其他紳士處境也很滑稽。

These had made a foolish swap between a couple of thick bandy legs and two long trapsticks that had no calves to them.

這些人做了個(gè)愚蠢的交換，用兩條捆在一起的粗腿來(lái)?yè)Q兩條沒(méi)有腿肚子的長(zhǎng)腿。

One of these looked like a man walking upon stilts, and was so lifted up into the air, above his ordinary height, that his head turned round with it,

其中一人看上去就像行走的高蹺似的，在空中蕩著，超過(guò)他的正常高度，以至于他的頭來(lái)回轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，

while the other made such awkward circles, as he attempted to walk, that he scarcely knew how to move forward upon his new supporters.

另一個(gè)人在那兒笨拙地轉(zhuǎn)圈，他嘗試走時(shí)，卻不曉得如何借助自己的新支撐向前挪步。

Observing him to be a pleasant kind of a fellow, I stuck my cane in the ground,

我注意到他是那種很快樂(lè)的人，我用藤條撐著地，

and told him I would lay him a bottle of wine that he did not march up to it on a line that I drew for him, in a quarter of an hour.

告訴他我用一瓶葡萄酒打賭，在一刻鐘內(nèi)他走不到我畫的線那兒。
