We asked her if she knew somewhere we could spend the night. She said there was a little house along the road…
我们问她附近还有哪些地方可以留宿一夜。她说沿着路走下去有一幢房子。
We did not wait. We picked up the basket, the bags and the coats, and we ran along the road.
我们二话没说，抄起篮子，抓起包，拎着衣服，一溜烟儿沿着路跑了下去。
The people there laughed at us. There were only three beds in the house, and there were seven men there already.
到了那里，那儿的人直笑话我们，房子里只有三张床，可已经住了七个人了。
Someone said, "Why don't you try the little shop next to the Black Horse?"
有人说：“怎么不去试试黑马旁边的那家小杂货店呢？”
So we went back along the road, but there were no beds at the little shop. However, there was an old lady in the shop. She said she had a friend who had some rooms. She added that she would take us there.
于是我们又原路折回去。可小杂货店里也没有床铺了。有个老太太在杂货店里，她说有个朋友有几间屋子，还补充道愿意带我们去。
The old woman walked very slowly, and it took us twenty minutes to get to her friend's house. During the walk, she told us about all the pains she had in her back. When we got there, there were already some people in her friend's rooms. From there we went to number 27. Number 27 was full. They sent us to number 32, and number 32 was full.
老太太走路很慢，我们花了二十分钟才到那里。一路上老太太一直唠叨着说腰上这也疼，那也疼。我们到的时候，她朋友家已经住了几个人了。从那儿我们又去27号，27号也住满了，把我们送到32号，32号也满了。
Then we went back along the road. Suddenly Harris sat down on the basket. He said he was not going to move. He added that it seemed to be nice and quiet there, and he said that he would like to die there.
我们只好回到马路上。忽然哈里斯一屁股坐在篮子上，说他一动也不想动了。还说这地方倒挺安静，他宁可死在这儿算了。
