Mr. Jones, of the Manor Farm, had locked the henhouses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the door.With the ring of light from his lantern dancing from side to side, he drew himself a last glass of beer and made his way up to bed.
As soon as the light in the bedroom went out, there was a big noise all through the farm buildings. Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle White pig, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. It had been agreed that they
should all meet in the big barn (谷仓) as soon as Mr.Jones was safely out of the way.
At one end of the big barn, major lay on his bed of straw comfortably. He was twelve years old and had lately grown rather heavy, but he was still a nicelooking pig, with a wise and easygoing appearance. Before long the other animals began to arrive and make themselves comfortable after their different fashions. First came the three dogs, Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher, and then the pigs, who settled down in the straw immediately beside Major. The two carthorses, Boxer and Clover, came in together, walking very
slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs (蹄子) with great care for fear that there should be some
small animals hidden in the straw. Clover was a motherly big horse approaching middle life, who had never quite got her figure back after her fourth kid.
Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses
put together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of firstrate intelligence, but he was well respected for his steadiness of character and extraordinary abilities. After the horses came Benjamin, the donkey. Benjamin got angry easily. He seldom talked, and when he did, it was usually to make all such remarks — for instance, he would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would rather have had no tail and no flies. Alone among the animals on the farm he never laughed. If asked why, he would say that he saw nothing to laugh at.
庄园农场的琼斯先生把鸡舍锁了一晚上,但喝得酩酊大醉,不记得关上门。随着灯笼上的光环从一边跳到另一边,他给自己倒了最后一杯啤酒,然后上床睡觉。
卧室里的灯一熄灭,农场的建筑里就传来了巨大的噪音。白天有消息说,获奖的中白猪老少校在前一天晚上做了一个奇怪的梦,想把它告诉其他动物。双方同意
应该在大谷仓里集合(谷仓) 琼斯先生一安全离开。
在大谷仓的一端,少校舒服地躺在稻草床上。他十二岁了,最近变得很重,但他仍然是一头漂亮的猪,外表聪明随和。没过多久,其他动物开始来到这里,按照它们不同的方式让自己感到舒适。首先是三只狗,蓝铃、杰西和平彻,然后是猪,它们立即在麦秆里安顿下来,就在少校身边。鲍克瑟和克洛弗这两个马车一起走了进来
慢慢地放下它们毛茸茸的大蹄(蹄子) 非常小心地担心会有
藏在稻草里的小动物。克洛弗是一匹即将步入中年的母马,在生完第四个孩子后,她的身材就再也没有恢复过。
鲍克瑟是一头巨大的野兽,几乎有十八只手高,和任何两匹普通的马一样强壮
放在一起。他鼻子上的一条白色条纹让他看起来有点愚蠢,事实上,他并不是一流的智力,但他因性格稳定和非凡的能力而备受尊敬。马之后是驴本杰明。本杰明很容易生气。他很少说话,当他说话的时候,通常都会说这样的话——例如,他会说上帝给了他一条尾巴来赶走苍蝇,但他宁愿没有尾巴也没有苍蝇。他独自一人在农场的动物中,从不笑。如果被问到为什么,他会说他没有看到什么可笑的。
