'A monkey's paw!'Herbert said& and he laughed.'Why do you carry a monkey's paw in your pocket, Mr Morris?' he asked the old soldier. 猴子的爪子!赫伯特说着大笑起来。为什么你在口袋里带着猴爪,莫里斯先生?他问老兵。
'You don't understand,' Mr White said sadly, but he went downstairs to look for the monkey's paw. 你真不可理喻。怀特先生悲哀地说。但他还是下楼去找猴爪。
'A monkey's paw?' Mrs White said. 猴爪?怀特太太惊问。
Then Mr White took the monkey's paw in his right hand. He was afraid, but he looked at his wife and she smiled at him. 接着怀特先生拿出猴爪放在右手。他很害怕,他看着妻子;他的妻子冲他微笑。
But Mrs White went over to the window and looked out into the road. She stayed there for a long time and she did not move. Nothing happened. The monkey's paw could not do it! 怀特太太走到窗户边上看着马路。她长时间地呆在那儿不走。但什么也没发生,猴爪并不起作用!

Then he said,'But that thing moved. The monkey's paw moved in my hand! Tom's story was true! ' 接着,他说,但那东西确实移动了。猴爪在我的手里动了!汤姆的故事是真的!
Old Mr White did not stop.'But your stories were interesting, 'he said to Tom Morris.'What did you begin to say about a monkey's paw?' 老怀特先生并没有停下,你的故事很有趣,他对汤姆·莫里斯说,关于猴爪的事你想告诉我们什么?
In the living-room it was dark and Mr White did not have a candle. Slowly, he went across the room and he put out his hand for the monkey's paw. He touched it, and quickly took his hand away again. 客厅里很黑,怀特先生又没有蜡烛。他慢慢地穿过房间,伸手摸着找猴爪。他摸到了但又很快把手缩了回去。

'Well, you see,' Morris said,'this monkey's paw is magic! ' 你要明白,这个猴爪是有魔力的!莫里斯说。
'The paw!' she cried.'The monkey's paw! 'She came back to the bed and stood there. 爪子!她喊道,猴爪!她走到床边站在那儿。
But Mr White did not move.'The paw! 'he thought.'Where's the monkey's paw?' 但怀特先生没有动。他想到了猴爪。猴爪,猴爪放在哪儿了?
