　　“Sleep, Little Three-Eyes?”

　　“Are you crazy?”

　　“Sh-h. Atticus’s light’s out.”

　　In the waning moonlight I saw Jem swing his feet to the floor.

　　“I’m goin‘ after ’em,” he said.

　　I sat upright. “You can’t. I won’t let you.”

　　He was struggling into his shirt. “I’ve got to.”

　　“You do an‘ I’ll wake up Atticus.”

　　“You do and I’ll kill you.”

　　I pulled him down beside me on the cot. I tried to reason with him. “Mr. Nathan’sgonna find ‘em in the morning, Jem. He knows you lost ’em. When he shows ‘em toAtticus it’ll be pretty bad, that’s all there is to it. Go’n back to bed.”

　　“你这小小的三眼鬼，睡着了吗?。

　　“你发疯了吧?”

　　“嘘，阿迪克斯房里的灯关掉了。”

　　在渐暗的月色里，我看见杰姆的脚一抬，踏到地上。

　　“我去我裤子。”他说。

　　我坐起来。“不行，我不让你去。”

　　他正在急忙穿衬衣。。不去不行。”

　　“你去我就喊醒阿迪克斯。”

　　“你喊我就要你的命。”

　　我把他拽到床边坐下来想跟他讲清理由：“明天早上内森先生发现裤子后，他知道是你丢的，顶多不过是拿给阿迪克斯看。再糟也就是这么回事。回床上去吧。”

　　“That’s what I know,” said Jem. “That’s why I’m goin‘ after ’em.”

　　I began to feel sick. Going back to that place by himself—I remembered MissStephanie: Mr. Nathan had the other barrel waiting for the next sound he heard, be itnigger, dog… Jem knew that better than I.

　　I was desperate: “Look, it ain’t worth it, Jem. A lickin‘ hurts but it doesn’t last. You’ll getyour head shot off, Jem. Please…”

　　He blew out his breath patiently. “I—it’s like this, Scout,” he muttered. “Atticus ain’tever whipped me since I can remember. I wanta keep it that way.”

　　“这点我知道，”杰姆说，“就是因为这点我才要去。”

　　我左右为难了。他一个人回到那个地方……我想起斯蒂芬尼小姐的话：内森先生的另一枝枪管已装好子弹，再听到声响就开枪，管他是黑鬼，是狗……这一点杰姆比我清楚。

　　我不顾一切地劝阻：“告诉你，杰姆，不值得，挨揍是会痛的，但痛过后就没事了。你这一去，脑袋就没了，杰姆，请求你……”

　　他喘了口气。“我……是这样，斯各特，”他小声说，“从我记事以来，阿迪克斯从没打过我，我想这样保持下去。”
