Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
十二个声音愤怒地叫嚷着，它们全都一个样。现在，猪的脸上究竟发生了什么事，已经毫无疑问了。窗外的动物们先看看猪，再看看人，又从人看到猪，再从猪看到人，但已经无法分辨哪个是猪，哪个是人了。
"Four legs good, two legs BETTER! Four legs good, two legs BETTER! Four legs good, two legs BETTER!"
「四条腿好，两条腿更好！四条腿好，两条腿更好！四条腿好，两条腿更好！」
"Ah, that is different!" said Boxer. "If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right."
「啊，那就不同了！」拳击手说。「如果拿破仑同志这么说，那一定是对的。」
"No sentimentality, comrade!" cried Snowball from whose wounds the blood was still dripping. "War is war. The only good human being is a dead one."
「不要感情用事，同志！」雪球喊道，他的伤口还在滴血。「战争就是战争。唯一的好人就是死人。」
"'Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler, Willingdon. Dealer in Hides and Bone-Meal. Kennels Supplied.' Do you not understand what that means? They are taking Boxer to the knacker's!"
「『阿尔弗雷德·西蒙兹，屠马者兼熬胶人，威灵顿。皮骨粉经销商。供应养狗场。』你们不明白这是什么意思吗？他们要把拳击手送到屠宰场去！」
He had only one criticism, he said, to make of Mr. Pilkington's excellent and neighbourly speech. Mr. Pilkington had referred throughout to "Animal Farm." He could not of course know--for he, Napoleon, was only now for the first time announcing it--that the name "Animal Farm" had been abolished. Henceforward the farm was to be known as "The Manor Farm"--which, he believed, was its correct and original name.
他说，他对皮尔金顿先生出色而友好的讲话只有一点批评。皮尔金顿先生通篇都提到「动物庄园」。他当然不可能知道，因为拿破仑本人现在才第一次宣布，「动物庄园」这个名字已经被废除了。从今以后，这个庄园将被称为「庄园农场」，他相信，这才是它正确而原来的名字。
"Bravery is not enough," said Squealer. "Loyalty and obedience are more important. And as to the Battle of the Cowshed, I believe the time will come when we shall find that Snowball's part in it was much exaggerated. Discipline, comrades, iron discipline! That is the watchword for today. One false step, and our enemies would be upon us. Surely, comrades, you do not want Jones back?"
「勇敢是不够的，」尖嗓说。「忠诚和服从更重要。至于牛棚之战，我相信总有一天我们会发现，雪球在其中的作用被大大夸大了。纪律，同志们，铁的纪律！这是今天的口号。一步走错，敌人就会扑到我们身上。同志们，你们肯定不希望琼斯回来吧？」
"Comrade," said Snowball, "those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery. Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons?"
「同志，」雪球说，「你如此珍视的那些缎带，是奴役的标记。你难道不明白，自由比缎带更有价值吗？」
But a few days later Muriel, reading over the Seven Commandments to herself, noticed that there was yet another of them which the animals had remembered wrong. They had thought the Fifth Commandment was "No animal shall drink alcohol," but there were two words that they had forgotten. Actually the Commandment read: "No animal shall drink alcohol TO EXCESS."
但几天后，穆丽尔独自重读七诫时，发现还有一条她们记错了。她们以为第五条诫律是「任何动物不得饮酒」，但有两个字她们忘了。实际上那条诫律写的是：「任何动物不得饮酒过度。」
"I do not understand it. I would not have believed that such things could happen on our farm. It must be due to some fault in ourselves. The solution, as I see it, is to work harder. From now onwards I shall get up a full hour earlier in the mornings."
「我不明白。我本来不会相信我们庄园里会发生这种事。这一定是我们自己哪里出了错。在我看来，解决办法就是更加努力工作。从今以后，我每天早上要提早整整一个小时起床。」
Years passed. The seasons came and went, the short animal lives fled by. A time came when there was no one who remembered the old days before the Rebellion, except Clover, Benjamin, Moses the raven, and a number of the pigs.
几年过去了。四季更替，动物短暂的生命飞逝而过。终于到了这样一个时候：除了克拉弗、本杰明、乌鸦摩西和几头猪之外，再也没有谁记得叛乱前的旧日子了。
They had just finished singing it for the third time when Squealer, attended by two dogs, approached them with the air of having something important to say. He announced that, by a special decree of Comrade Napoleon, 'Beasts of England' had been abolished. From now onwards it was forbidden to sing it.
他们刚把这首歌第三次唱完，尖嗓就在两条狗的陪同下走到他们面前，一副有要事要宣布的样子。他宣布，根据拿破仑同志的一项特别法令，《英格兰牲畜之歌》已被废除。从今以后，禁止再唱这首歌。
"Our Leader, Comrade Napoleon," announced Squealer, speaking very slowly and firmly, "has stated categorically--categorically, comrade--that Snowball was Jones's agent from the very beginning--yes, and from long before the Rebellion was ever thought of."
「我们的领袖拿破仑同志，」尖嗓宣布道，说得非常缓慢而坚定，「已经明确断言，明确断言，同志，雪球从一开始就是琼斯的奸细，是的，而且早在叛乱被想到之前很久就是了。」
"Then we have won back what we had before," said Boxer.
「那么我们已经夺回了以前拥有的东西，」拳击手说。
"A bird's wing, comrades," he said, "is an organ of propulsion and not of manipulation. It should therefore be regarded as a leg. The distinguishing mark of man is the HAND, the instrument with which he does all his mischief."
「同志们，」他说，「鸟的翅膀是推进器官，而不是操纵器官。因此它应该被视为腿。人的区别性标志是手，那是他用来干一切坏事的工具。」
