Around this time, the pigs made a big change. 大约在这个时候,猪们做出了一个重大改变。

They moved into the farmhouse to live. 它们搬进了农舍居住。

Soon the animals heard that the pigs were even sleeping in the beds. 很快动物们就听说猪们甚至睡在床上了。

Clover was worried. 三叶草很担心。

Was there not a rule against beds? 不是有一条禁止睡床的规定吗?

So she asked Muriel, who could read, to look at the wall. 于是她请会识字的穆丽尔去看墙上的字。

Muriel read out the fourth rule slowly. No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets. 穆丽尔慢慢地念出了第四条规定:任何动物都不得睡在铺有床单的床上。

Clover was surprised. 三叶草很惊讶。

She did not remember the words with sheets, 她不记得有“铺有床单”这几个字了,

but there they were, painted on the wall. 但它们确实就在那里,写在墙上。

Perhaps she had simply forgotten. 也许她只是忘记了。

Squealer soon appeared to explain. 斯奎拉很快就出现了,开始解释。

A bed just means a place to sleep, comrades, he said smoothly. “床只是睡觉的地方,同志们,”他圆滑地说。

Of course pigs need beds. 猪当然需要床。

We do the thinking for the whole farm. 我们为整个农场思考。

We only gave up sheets because sheets belong to man. 我们只是放弃了床单,因为床单属于人类。

And he added sharply, you do not want Jones back, do you? 他又尖锐地补充道:“你们不想让琼斯回来,对吧?”

No, no, “不,不,”

cried the animals. 动物们喊道。

So the pigs kept their comfortable beds. 于是猪们保留了它们舒适的床。

The animals felt that something was wrong, 动物们觉得有些不对劲,

but whenever they looked at the wall, the rules always seemed to agree with the pigs. 但每当它们看向墙壁时,那些规定似乎总是与猪们所说的相符。

Their own memories were slowly turning against them. 它们自己的记忆正在慢慢地背叛它们。
