我还想要什么呢？自由！在我生命的头4年，我曾拥有那么广阔的田野，我可以在那儿全速奔驰——没有缰绳，没有嚼口，也没有眼罩。现在，除了有活干的时候，我得日夜呆在马厩里，有时约翰带我出去的时候，我觉得自己是那么强壮有力，充满生机，我按捺不住地想跳跃，想舞蹈。?’Calm?down，boy！’he?would?say．?“静一点儿，伙计！”他会说。?Then，as?soon?as?we?were?out?of?the?village，he?would?let?me?trot?fast?for?a?few?miles．Some?grooms?punished?a?horse?for?getting?too?excited，but?not?John．He?knew?how?to?control?me?with?only?the?sound?of?his?voice，?and?I?was?very?fond?of?him．?我们一出村，他就会让我撒开了跑上几里。有的马夫会惩罚过度兴奋的马，约翰不。他知道怎么能只用声音来控制我，我真喜欢他。?Sometimes?we?did?have?our?freedom?in?the?field?for?an?hour?or?two．This?was?on?fine?Sundays?in?the?summer，because?the?carriage?never?went?out?on?Sundays．It?was?wonderful．The?grass?was?cool?and?soft?to?our?feet，and?the?air?was?so?sweet．And?we?could?gallop?or?lie?down?or?roll?over?on?our?backs，or?do?what?we?liked．?有时在田野里，我们可以尽情享受一两小时自由。这时往往是在夏天的周日，因为马车在周日不外出。那真叫妙不可言。青草踏上去凉爽而柔软，连空气都是甜的。我们可以或飞跑或卧倒或是滚来滚去，随心所欲。?One?day?Ginger?asked?me?about?my?old?home?and?my?train-ing．When?I?finished?telling?her，she?said，’Life?has?been?differ-ent?for?me．I?was?taken?from?my?mother?when?I?was?young，and?there?was?no?kind?master?like?yours?to?look?after?me．I?had?a?bad?time?when?I?was?trained．Several?men?caught?me?in?a?corner?of?the?field?and?one?held?my?nose?so?hard?that?I?could?only?just?breathe．Then?another?pulled?my?mouth?open?to?put?the?bit?in，?and?I?was?pulled?along?and?beaten?from?behind．They?didn’t?give?me?a?chance?to?understand?what?they?wan-ted．?一天金儿问起我的老家和我受的训练。我讲完后，她说：“过去我的生活可不是这样。我小时候就被人从我妈妈身边带走，可没有像你的主人那么好的人照顾我。训练时我可受了罪了。几个人在草场的一角捉住我，一个人紧紧地抓住我的鼻子，我都快透不过气来了。另一个掰开我的嘴，塞进嚼子，我一路被拖着，屁股被抽打着。他们不给我时间弄明白他们到底想要我干什么。?’The?old?master，?Mr?Ryder，?knew?about?horses，?but?he?gave?up?most?of?the?business?to?his?son，?who?was?tall?and?strong，?but?not?gentle．?They?called?him?Samson，?and?he?said?that?no?horse?could?throw?him?out?of?the?saddle．One?day，he?made?me?run?round?the?field?on?a?long?rein?until?I?was?very?tired?and?miser-able．The?next?morning?he?did?the?same?again，then?he?put?a?saddle?and?bridle?on?me，and?a?new?kind?of?bit?in
