Charlotte and Wilbur were alone. Wilbur lay resting after the excitement and strain of the ceremony. His medal still hung from his neck; by looking out of the corner of his eye he could see it.

夏洛和威爾伯單獨待著。經過頒獎典禮上一番興奮和緊張后，威爾伯躺下來休息。他的獎章仍然掛在脖子上，通過眼角的余光就能看到它。

"Charlotte," said Wilbur after a while, "why are you so quiet?"

“夏洛，”過了一會兒威爾伯說，“你為什么這么安靜?”

"I like to sit still," she said."I’ve always been rather quiet."

“我喜歡靜靜地坐著，”她說。“我一直都十分安靜?”

"Yes, but you seem specially so today. Do you feel all right?"

“是的，但今天你似乎出奇地安靜。你感覺還好嗎?”

"A little tired, perhaps. But I feel peaceful. Your success in the ring this morning was to a small degree, my success.Your future is assured. You will live, secure and safe, Wilbur. Nothing can harm you now. These autumn days will shorten and grow cold. The leaves will shake loose from the trees and fall. Christmas will come, then the snows of winter. You will live to enjoy the beauty of the frozen world, for you mean a great deal to Zuckerman and he will not harm you, ever. Winter will pass, the days will lengthen, the ice will melt in the pasture pond. The song sparrow will return and sing, the frogs will awake, the warm wind will blow again. All these sights and sounds and smells will be yours to enjoy, Wilbur--this lovely world, these precious days...”

也許有點兒累吧。但我覺得很平靜。今天早上你在圍欄里的成功，在小小的程度上也是我的成功。你的未來有保證了。你將生活得十分安全，威爾伯。現在沒有什么能傷害你。秋天的白晝會縮短，天氣會變冷。葉子將從樹上松動落下。圣誕節即將來臨，之后是冬天的飄雪。你將活著享受冰天雪地的美景，因為對于朱克曼先生來說，你意義重大，他不會傷害你的，永遠不會。冬天會過去，白晝會延長，牧場池塘上的冰將融化。籬雀將飛回來歌唱，青蛙要蘇醒，溫暖的風會再次吹起。所有這些景象、聲音和香氣都將供你享受，威爾伯—這個美好的世界，這些珍貴的日子……”

Charlotte stopped. A moment later a tear came to Wilbur’s eye. "Oh, Charlotte," he said. "To think that when I first met you I thought you were cruel and bloodthirsty!"

夏洛停了下來。不一會兒，眼淚涌入了威爾伯的眼眶。“哦，夏洛，”他說，“想當初第一次見到你，我還以為你很殘忍，嗜血成性呢!”

When he recovered from his emotion, he spoke again.

等他從情緒中恢復過來，他又說話了。
