“We be of one blood, ye and I,” said Mowgli, giving the words the Bear accent which all the Hunting People use.
「你我同属一血。」毛格利说，用的是所有狩猎民族都说的熊的口音。
出自“Kaa’s Hunting”
“No, Little Brother. That is only tears such as men use,” said Bagheera. “Now I know thou art a man, and a man’s cub no longer. The jungle is shut indeed to thee henceforward. Let them fall, Mowgli. They are only tears.” So Mowgli sat and cried as though his heart would break; and he had never cried in all his life before.
「不，小兄弟。那不过是人所谓的眼泪罢了。」巴希拉说。「如今我知道你是人了，不再是人崽了。从今往后，丛林确实对你关上了门。让它们流吧，毛格利。那不过是眼泪。」于是毛格利坐在那里哭得心都要碎了；而他这一生中还从未哭过。
出自“Mowgli’s Brothers”
“Thou hast been with the Monkey People—the gray apes—the people without a law—the eaters of everything. That is great shame.”
「你跟猴民在一起了，那些灰猿，那些没有律法的族类，什么都吃的东西。这是极大的耻辱。」
出自“Kaa’s Hunting”
By Red Flower Bagheera meant fire, only no creature in the jungle will call fire by its proper name. Every beast lives in deadly fear of it, and invents a hundred ways of describing it.
巴希拉说的红花就是火，只是丛林里没有哪个生灵会把火叫出它本来的名字。每头野兽都对它怀着致命的恐惧，于是编出上百种说法来称呼它。
出自“Mowgli’s Brothers”
All this will show you how much Mowgli had to learn by heart, and he grew very tired of saying the same thing over a hundred times. But, as Baloo said to Bagheera, one day when Mowgli had been cuffed and run off in a temper, “A man’s cub is a man’s cub, and he must learn all the Law of the Jungle.”
这一切会让你明白毛格利得用心记住多少东西，他把同样的话说上一百多遍，实在厌烦透了。可是，正如巴洛有一天对巴希拉说的，那天毛格利挨了巴掌，赌气跑开了：「人崽就是人崽，他必须学会丛林的全部律法。」
出自“Kaa’s Hunting”
Baloo did not wish to bring Mowgli into any more trouble, but he could not tamper with the Law, so he mumbled: “Sorrow never stays punishment. But remember, Bagheera, he is very little.”
巴洛不愿再给毛格利惹麻烦，可他又不能篡改律法，于是咕哝道：「悲伤不能免去惩罚。可是记住，巴希拉，他还很小。」
出自“Kaa’s Hunting”
“Man-Pack and Wolf-Pack have cast me out,” said Mowgli. “Now I will hunt alone in the jungle.”
「人羣和狼羣都把我赶了出来。」毛格利说。「如今我要独自在丛林里打猎了。」
出自““Tiger! Tiger!””
“And that thou mayest be cast out of another pack. Men are only men, Little Brother, and their talk is like the talk of frogs in a pond. When I come down here again, I will wait for thee in the bamboos at the edge of the grazing-ground.”
「而你也好被另一个羣落赶出去。人不过是人罢了，小兄弟，他们说的话就像池塘里青蛙说的话。等我再下到这里来，我就在牧场边上的竹林里等你。」
出自““Tiger! Tiger!””
“Come soon,” said Mother Wolf, “little naked son of mine. For, listen, child of man, I loved thee more than ever I loved my cubs.”
「快些来吧。」狼妈妈说，「我光着身子的小儿子。因为，听我说，人的孩子，我爱你胜过爱我自己的崽子。」
出自“Mowgli’s Brothers”
“By whom?” said Mowgli. “Are we all jackals, to fawn on this cattle butcher? The leadership of the Pack is with the Pack alone.”
「凭谁？」毛格利说。「难道我们都是豺狗，要去讨好这个杀牛的屠夫吗？羣落的领导权只属于羣落自己。」
出自“Mowgli’s Brothers”
What of the hunting, hunter bold? Brother, the watch was long and cold. What of the quarry ye went to kill? Brother, he crops in the jungle still. Where is the power that made your pride? Brother, it ebbs from my flank and side. Where is the haste that ye hurry by? Brother, I go to my lair—to die.
打猎如何，勇敢的猎手？兄弟，守候漫长又寒冷。你去猎杀的猎物如何？兄弟，他还在丛林里吃草。叫你骄傲的力量何在？兄弟，它从我肋腹间退去。你匆匆赶路的急切何在？兄弟，我回我的窝去，去死。
出自““Tiger! Tiger!””
“They obey, as the men do. Mule, horse, elephant, or bullock, he obeys his driver, and the driver his sergeant, and the sergeant his lieutenant, and the lieutenant his captain, and the captain his major, and the major his colonel, and the colonel his brigadier commanding three regiments, and the brigadier the general, who obeys the Viceroy, who is the servant of the Empress. Thus it is done.”
「它们服从，就像人一样。骡子、马、大象或者公牛，都服从赶它的人，赶它的人服从中士，中士服从中尉，中尉服从上尉，上尉服从少校，少校服从上校，上校服从统率三个团的准将，准将服从将军，将军服从总督，总督是女皇的仆人。事情就是这样办成的。」
出自“Her Majesty’s Servants”
And Kotick curled up his mustache (it was a beauty) and said, “I am the only white seal that has ever been born on the beaches, and I am the only seal, black or white, who ever thought of looking for new islands.”
于是科蒂克捻了捻他的胡子（那胡子真漂亮），说：「我是唯一在这片海滩上出生的白海豹，也是唯一一头海豹，无论黑白，曾经想过要去寻找新岛屿的。」
出自“The White Seal”
“There are more things to find out about in this house,” he said to himself, “than all my family could find out in all their lives. I shall certainly stay and find out.”
「这座房子里有待发现的东西，」他自言自语道，「比我全家一辈子能发现的还要多。我一定要留下来弄个明白。」
出自““Rikki-Tikki-Tavi””
“It is very lucky for us that we haven’t all got to fight in the same way,” said the troop-horse.
「我们不必都用同一种方式打仗，这对我们来说真是幸运。」那匹战马说。
