He drank too much, and he often forgot the animals. 他喝得太多了，常常忘记动物们。

One night, he went to bed drunk. 一天晚上，他醉醺醺地去睡觉了。

Soon, all the animals were awake. 很快，所有的动物都醒了。

Old Major was the oldest pig on the farm. 老麦哲是农场里最老的猪。

He was wise, and everyone respected him. 他很聪明，大家都尊敬他。

Tonight, he wanted to speak, 今晚，他想讲话，

so the animals came quietly to the big barn. 所以动物们都悄悄地来到大谷仓。

Boxer and Clover, the two horses, came first. 拳击手和苜蓿，那两匹马，最先来了。

Then came the hens, the cows, the sheep, and the dogs. 接着是母鸡、奶牛、绵羊和狗。

Even the cat found a warm place to sit. 甚至连猫都找到了一个暖和的地方坐下。

Friends, said Old Major, I am old. “朋友们，”老麦哲说，“我老了。”

I will die soon. 我很快就要死了。

I had a strange dream last night. 昨晚我做了一个奇怪的梦。

The barn grew quiet. 谷仓里安静下来了。

Our life is hard, he went on. “我们的生活很艰难，”他继续说。

We work all day. 我们整天工作。

We get little food. 我们得到的食物很少。

Then, when we are old, Mr. Jones kills us. 然后，当我们老了，琼斯先生就会杀了我们。

Why? 为什么？

One day, Old Major said softly, we will be free. “总有一天，”老麦哲轻声说，“我们会获得自由。”

But what was the dream that gave him such hope? 但是，是什么样的梦给了他如此大的希望呢？
