Two men walked down a dusty road in California. 两个人走在加利福尼亚一条尘土飞扬的路上。

It was a hot afternoon, and they were looking for work. 那是一个炎热的下午，他们在找工作。

The first man, George, was small and quick with a sharp face. 第一个人叫乔治，他身材矮小，动作敏捷，脸庞瘦削。

The second, Lenny, was huge and strong, but he had the mind of a child. 第二个人叫莱尼，他身材高大强壮，但心智却像个孩子。

He followed George everywhere. 他寸步不离地跟着乔治。

They stopped by a quiet river to rest for the night. 他们在一个宁静的河边停下来过夜。

They had a new job at a ranch nearby, starting the next morning. 他们在附近的一个牧场找到了一份新工作，第二天早上开始。

Lenny, George said, listen to me. 乔治说：“莱尼，听我说。”

Tomorrow, when the boss talks to us, you say nothing. “明天，当老板和我们说话时，你什么都不要说。”

Let me do the talking. “让我来说。”

If he hears you speak, he might think you are strange “如果他听到你说话，他可能会觉得你很奇怪”

and not give us the job. “然后不给我们这份工作。”

I won't say a word, George, Lenny promised. 莱尼保证道：“我一个字都不会说，乔治。”

George sighed. 乔治叹了口气。

He looked after Lenny like a big child. 他像照顾一个大孩子一样照顾莱尼。

It was hard, but he had promised to take care of him. 这很艰难，但他已经答应要照顾他。

A man who travels alone has no one, but these two had each other. 独自旅行的人一无所有，但他们俩却拥有彼此。

That night they slept by the fire under the stars. 那天晚上，他们在星空下，在火堆旁睡着了。

Lenny smiled in the dark. 莱尼在黑暗中笑了。

Tell me again, George, he said. 他说：“乔治，再给我讲一遍。”

Tell me about the land. “给我讲讲那片土地。”
