Chapter 4 Merrick's First Home

4 麦里克的第一个家
We gave Merrick two rooms at the back of the hospital. One room was a bathroom, so he could have a bath every day. Soon his skin was much better, and there was no horrible smell.
我们将医院后面的两个房间给了麦里克,一间是浴室,供他每天洗澡。于是他的皮肤好多了,再也没有难闻的气味。
The second room had a bed, table , and chairs. I visited him every day, and talked to him. He loved reading, and talking about books. At first he did not know many books:the Bible, and one or two newspapers, that's all. But I gave him some books of love stories, and he liked them very much. He read them again and again, and talked about them often. For him, the men and women in these books were alive, like you and me. He was very happy.
另一间里面有床、桌子和椅子。我每天都去看他,陪他说话。他喜欢看书,也喜欢谈论书里的内容。起初,他并不知道多少书,只知道《圣经》和一两份报纸而已。后来我给了他几本爱情小说,他非常喜欢,读了一遍又一遍,并经常谈论其中的故事。对他来说,书中的男女就像你我一样,都是活着的,他非常高兴。
But sometimes it was difficult for him. At first, one or two people in the hospital laughed at Merrick because he was ugly. Sometimes, they brought their friends to look at him. One day a new nurse came to the hospital, and nobody told her about Merrick. She took his food to his room, and opened the door. Then she saw him. She screamed, dropped the food on the floor, and ran out of the room.
对他来说,有时也很难。开始时,医院里有一两个人嘲笑他,说他长得丑陋,有时他们把自己的朋友带来参观他。有一天,一个护士新来到医院,没有人把麦里克的情况告诉她,她给麦里克送饭,当她打开门,见到他时,尖叫一声,将饭扔在地上跑了出去。

I was very angry with the nurse, and went to see Merrick. He was not happy about it, but he was not very angry. I think he felt sorry for the girl.'People don't like looking at me. I know that, Dr.Treves, 'he said. 'They usually laugh or scream. '

我去看望麦里克,我很生这个护士的气。他对此事不高兴但没生气,我想他感到自己对不起这个姑娘,他说:“人们不喜欢朝我看,他们经常对我嘲笑、尖叫,我知道为什么,特里维斯博士。”
'Well, I don't want nurses to laugh at you, Joseph, ' I said angrily. 'I want them to help you. '
我气愤地说:“约瑟夫,我不希望护士们嘲笑你,我要她们来帮助你。”
'Thank you, doctor, 'he said, in his strange slow voice. 'But it's not important. Everyone laughs at me. I understand that. '
“谢谢你,大夫。”他用奇怪的声音慢慢说着:“每个人都在嘲笑我,我理解,这并不重要。”
I looked at him sadly. In his one good hand, his left hand, he had the little picture of his mother. He looked at the picture for a minute, and then put it by a flower on the table. A tear ran out of his eye and down the skin of his enormous, ugly face.
我忧伤地看着他。他的那只好手——左手——拿着一张他母亲的小照片,他仔细地看了一会儿,然后将照片放在桌上的一束花旁,一滴泪水顺着那张丑陋的大脸滚下来。
