Hewas to stay there all day, to get as much wood as he could collect.

乔治在森林里逛了一整天，以尽量多收集一点能用的木头。

I think now hewas a man fighting constantly to escape the bars ofan invisible cage.

我想他现在是一个不断为逃离无形牢笼的栅栏而奋斗的人。

Hewas on his knees again, his face buried in his hands, his brain aching as though someone had been trying to pull it from his skull.

他又跪在了地上，脸埋在手心里，脑子生疼，好像有人要把它从脑壳中抽出去一样。

A week later hewas back with six barefoot and ragged soldiers, armed with shotguns, and an oxcart in which his wife and seven daughters were traveling.

一周后，他带着六名赤脚、衣衫褴褛、手持猎枪的士兵回来了，还有一辆牛车，他的妻子和七个女儿乘坐的是一辆牛车。

No one doubted the origins of that nameless child: he looked exactly like the colonel at the time hewas taken to see ice for the first time.

没有人怀疑这个无名小子的来历：他长得一模一样，第一次被带去看冰时的上校。

Although hewas at least fifteen years older than his wife, his alert determination to make her happy and his qualities as a good lover compensated for the difference.

虽然他至少比他的妻子大十五岁，但他使她快乐的机敏决心和他作为一个好情人的品质弥补了这一差异。
