"He claims he's a spring pig," reported Charlotte, “它说它是只春猪，”夏洛禀报说，
"and perhaps he is. One thing is certain, he has a most unattractive personality. “也许是的。有一件事可以肯定，它太不讨人喜欢了。
He is too familiar, too noisy, and he cracks weak jokes. 它太放肆，太吵闹，还叽叽呱呱地说些蹩脚的笑话。
Also, he's not anywhere near as clean as you are, nor as pleasant. 还有，它一点没你干净，也不及你讨人喜欢。
I took quite a dislike to him in our brief interview. 我和它就谈了两句，已经觉得很不喜欢它。
He's going to be a hard pig to beat, though, Wilbur, on account of his size and weight. 不过由于它个子大，有分量，赢这只猪可不容易，威尔伯。
But with me helping 1 you, it can be done." 可是有我相助，这件事做得到。”
"When are you going to spin a web?" asked Wilbur. “你什么时候开始结网？”威尔伯问道。
"This afternoon, late, if I'm not too tired," said Charlotte. “要是不太累，今天下午，”夏洛说，
"The least thing tires me these days. “这几天最小的事也会把我累坏。
I don't seem to have the energy I once had. My age, I guess." 我似乎没有以前那种精力了。我想是岁数的关系。”
Wilbur looked at his friend. 威尔伯看着它的朋友。
She looked rather swollen 2 and she seemed listless. 夏洛看上去肿胀得厉害，像是很累的样子。
"I'm awfully 3 sorry to hear that you're feeling poorly, Charlotte," he said. “听你说觉得不舒服，我特别难过，夏洛，”它说，
"Perhaps if you spin a web and catch a couple of flies you'll feel better." “也许你结出网来，捉上两只苍蝇会感到好些。”
"Perhaps," she said, wearily 4. “也许吧，”夏洛有气无力地说，
"But I feel like the end of a long day." “不过我感觉漫长的一天好象到了尽头。”
