小说原文
'You sleep in my room, don't you?' asked a solemn young gentleman, whose shirt-collar curled up the lobes of his ears.
“您跟我在一个房间里睡觉，是不是？”一位神色庄严的年轻的先生问他，那人的衬衫领子一直翻卷到他的耳垂。
'Master Briggs?' inquired Paul.
“您是布里格斯少爷吗？”保罗问道。
'Tozer,' said the young gentleman.
“托泽，”那位年轻的先生说道。
Paul answered yes; and Tozer pointing out the stony pupil, said that was Briggs. Paul had already felt certain that it must be either Briggs or Tozer, though he didn't know why.
保罗回答说，是的；托泽指着那位石头般的学生说，那才是布里格斯。保罗早就确实感到，那人不是布里格斯就是托泽，虽然他不明白这是什么道理。
'Is yours a strong constitution?' inquired Tozer.
“您的体质强壮吗？”托泽问道。
Paul said he thought not. Tozer replied that he thought not also, judging from Paul's looks, and that it was a pity, for it need be. He then asked Paul if he were going to begin with Cornelia; and on Paul saying 'yes,' all the young gentlemen(Briggs excepted) gave a low groan.
保罗说，他认为他并不强壮。托泽说，他从保罗的外貌来看，也是这样想的，但这很可惜，因为需要有强壮的体质才行。然后他问保罗是不是先跟科妮莉亚学；当保罗回答“是的”的时候，所有的年轻的先生们都轻轻地哼了一声。
It was drowned in the tintinnabulation of the gong, which sounding again with great fury, there was a general move towards the dining-room; still excepting Briggs the stony boy, who remained where he was, and as he was; and on its way to whom Paul presently encountered a round of bread, genteelly served on a plate and napkin, and with a silver fork lying crosswise on the top of it.
这哼声这时被重新狂怒般地响出的当当的锣声淹没了，于是大家向餐厅移动，那石头般的孩子却仍然例外，他仍然待在他原先所在的地方，仍然处在原先的状态中；保罗不久看见，有人给他送去一块面包，它雅致地摆在盘子和餐巾上面，顶上斜放着一把银叉。
Doctor Blimber was already in his place in the dining-room, at the top of the table, with Miss Blimber and Mrs Blimber on either side of him. Mr Feeder in a black coat was at the bottom. Paul's chair was next to Miss Blimber; but it being found, when he sat in it, that his eyebrows were not much above the level of the table-cloth, some books were brought in from the Doctor's study, on which he was elevated, and on which he always sat from that time - carrying them in and out himself on after occasions, like a little elephant and castle.'
布林伯博士已经坐在餐厅中他的座位上；他坐在餐桌的上方，布林伯小姐和布林伯夫人分坐在他的两旁。菲德先生穿着黑色的上衣，坐在桌子的下方。保罗的椅子挨近布林伯小姐；可是当他坐上去以后，大家发现他的眉毛高出桌布不多，于是就从博士的书房中搬进一些书，他就被举到这些书上面；而且从那时起他就老坐在这些书上面，——以后他自己把它们搬进来搬出去，像一只小象搬城楼似的。
