The next day Abanazar arrived at Aladdin's house.
第二天阿巴那扎尔来到阿拉丁的家中。
“My sister!” he said and smiled. “My dead brother's wife! I am happy to find you and Aladdin.”
“我的嫂子！”他微笑道，“我死去的兄弟的妻子！我很高兴能找到你和阿拉丁。”
“Sit down, Abanazar. We're happy to see you in our poor home,”Aladdin's mother said.
“快请坐，阿巴那扎尔。很高兴在我们的寒舍见到你，”阿拉丁的母亲说。
She put meat, rice and fruit on the table.
她把肉，米饭和水果摆上桌。
But I don't understand. Why did my husband never speak about you?
但我还是不明白，我丈夫怎么从来都没有提起过你呢？
I am sorry, my sister.
我很惭愧，嫂子。
When we were young, my brother and I were not friends for many years.
我们都还年轻的时候，我和我兄弟的关系有很多年都不是很好。
Then I went away to a far country.
后来我就离家去了一个遥远的国度。
I am an old man now and wanted to see my brother again and take his hand.
现在我老了，想再见到我的兄弟，跟他和好。
But he is dead, and I cannot speak to him or say goodbye to him now!
但他已辞世，我不能和他说话，也不能和他说再见了！
Abanazar had tears in his eyes and Aladdin's mother began to cry too.
阿巴那扎尔眼含热泪，阿拉丁的母亲也哭了起来。
“But I am home again now,” the old man said, “and I can help my brother's wife and his son, because I am a rich man.”
“但我现在回家了，”老头儿说，“我可以帮助我兄弟的妻子和儿子，因为我很有钱。”
He looked at Aladdin. “Aladdin, my boy, what work do you do?”
他转过头看着阿拉丁，“阿拉丁，我的孩子，你现在做什么工作呢？”
Aladdin did not answer and his face was red.
阿拉丁没有回答，脸涨的通红。
“Oh, don't ask Aladdin questions about work!” His mother said.
“哦，不要问阿拉丁工作的事！”他母亲说。
He never works.
他从来都不工作，
He plays with his friends all day, and only comes home when he is hungry.
整天在外面跟他那些朋友们玩耍，只有饿了的时候才回家。
Well, my boy, tomorrow we must get a new coat for you.
好了，我的孩子，明天我得给你买件新外套，
Then we can talk about work.
然后我们再谈谈工作。
Would you like to have a shop in the market perhaps?
也许你想在市场上拥有一家店铺？
Aladdin smiled. “A shop,”he thought, “and me, a rich market-seller. Why not?”
阿拉丁笑了。“一家店铺，”他暗自想道，“我会成为一个富有的店主。为什么不呢？”
