Animal Farm

Chapter 10

There was enthusiastic cheering and stamping of feet.

Napoleon was so gratified that he left his place and came round the table to clink his mug against Mr.Pilkington's before emptying it.

When the cheering had died down, Napoleon, who had remained on his feet, intimated that he too had a few words to say.

Like all of Napoleon's speeches, it was short and to the point.

He too, he said, was happy that the period of misunderstanding was at an end.

For a long time there had been rumours-circulated, he had reason to think, by some malignant enemy - that there was something subversive and even revolutionary in the outlook of himself and his colleagues.

They had been credited with attempting to stir up rebellion among the animals on neighbouring farms.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

Their sole wish, now and in the past, was to live at peace and in normal business relations with their neighbours.

This farm which he had the honour to control, he added, was a co-operative enterprise.

The title-deeds, which were in his own possession, were owned by the pigs jointly.

现场响起热烈的欢呼声和跺脚声。
Napoleon 十分高兴，离开了座位，绕到桌子那边，与 Mr. Pilkington 碰杯，然后一饮而尽。
欢呼声平息后，仍然站着的 Napoleon 示意自己也有几句话要说。
和 Napoleon 所有的演讲一样，这次发言简短而切中要害。
他说，他也同样感到高兴，因为那段误解的时期终于结束了。
很长一段时间以来，一直流传着一些谣言——据他所知，这些谣言是由某个恶意的敌人散布的——说他和他的同僚抱有某种颠覆性、甚至革命性的思想。
有人声称，他们曾企图煽动邻近农场的动物发动叛乱。
事实完全不是那样！
他们过去和现在唯一的愿望，就是与邻居们和平相处，保持正常的商业往来。
他补充说，他有幸管理的这个农场，是一个合作性质的企业。
这些产权证书在他手中，但实际上是由所有猪共同拥有的。
