Animal Farm
Chapter 4
All the men were gone except one.
Back in the yard Boxer was pawing with his hoof at the stable-lad who lay face down in the mud, trying to turn him over.
The boy did not stir.
“He is dead,” said Boxer sorrowfully.
“I had no intention of doing that.
I forgot that I was wearing iron shoes.
Who will believe that I did not do this on purpose?”
“No sentimentality, comrade!” cried Snowball/ from whose wounds the blood was still dripping.
“War is war. The only good human being is a dead one.”
“I have no wish to take life, not even human life,” repeated Boxer, and his eyes were full of tears.
“Where is Mollie?” exclaimed somebody.
Mollie in fact was missing.
For a moment there was great alarm; it was feared that the men might have harmed her in some way, or even carried her off with them.
In the end, however, she was found hiding in her stall/ with her head buried among the hay in the manger.
She had taken to flight as soon as the gun went off.
And when the others came back/ from looking for her, it was to find that the stable-lad, who in fact was only stunned, had already recovered and made off.

- “莫莉在哪里？”有人惊叫道。
- 事实上，莫莉不见了。

- 当其他人回来找她时，发现那个马厩的小伙子，实际上只是被吓晕了，已经恢复过来并逃跑了。
