The town drunkard stirs, the clerks wake up, a furious clatter of drays follows, every house and store pours out a human contribution, and all in a twinkling the dead town is alive and moving.镇上那个醉汉翻身起来，那几个店员也醒了；随后就是运货马车的一阵狂暴的响声，每户人家和每个铺子里都涌出一股人流，转瞬之间，这个死气沉沉的村镇就热闹起来了、活动起来了。 Then such a screamble as there is to get aboard, and to get ashore, and to take in freight and to discharge freight, all at one and the same time; and such a yelling and cursing as the mates facilitate it all with! 接着是乱得一团糟，大家争先恐后，有的抢着上船，有的抢着上岸，有的要上货，有的要卸货，都在这同一时刻里抢着干。大副们为了催大家赶快，拼命地嚷，拼命地骂，那一阵叫骂声真是凶得要命！ And whenever his boat was laid up he would come home and swell around the town in his blackest and greasiest clothes, so that nobody could help remembering that he was a steamboatman. 每逢他那艘轮船停得久一些的时候，他就一定回家来，穿着那满身油泥、黑得要命的衣服，到镇上各处出风头，叫每个人都不能不想起他是个轮船上的水手。 Two or three of the boys had long been person of consideration among us because they had been to St. Louis once and had a vague general knowledge of its wonders, but the day of their glory was over now. 我们那些孩子当中有两三个早就受着大家的重视；因为他们曾经到圣路易斯去过一次，对于那里的新奇食物稍微知道一个大概，可是现在他们的光荣时代已成过去了。 I went meekly aboard a few of the boats that lay packed together like sardines at the long St. Louis wharf, and very humbly inquired for the pilots, but got only a cold shoulder and short words from mates and clerks. 圣路易斯那个很长的码头上有许多船像沙丁鱼似挤在一起停靠着，我胆怯地走到几条船上去，低声下气地探寻船上的领航员，可是大副和职员们都对我摆出爱理不理的样子，几句话就把我打发了。 You’d think in this era of labor-saving devices and convenient transportation that few people would have reason to be so tired. 或许你会认为在这个拥有各种节省体力装置和方便交通设施的时代，没有人会有理由感到如此疲劳、然而，与用手捆干草。 Today, physicians report, tiredness is more likely a consequence of under-exertion than of wearing yourself down with over-activity. 今天，据医生们说，疲劳是由于过少的活动所至，而不是由于过多活动导致。 This is the well-known result of overworking your muscles to the point where metabolic waste products – carbon dioxide and lactic acid – accumulate in your blood and sap your strength. 这是一门所熟知的由于肌肉过多运动而产生的新陈代谢物——二氧化碳和乳酸——在血液里积累并耗尽体力的结果
