Cecil Jacobs made me forget. He had announced in the schoolyard the day beforethat Scout Finch’s daddy defended niggers. I denied it, but told Jem.

是塞西爾·雅各布斯使我忘記的。前天他在學(xué)校公開宣布斯各特·芬奇的爸爸為黑鬼們辯護(hù)。我否認(rèn)了這點(diǎn)，但我告訴了杰姆。

“What’d he mean sayin‘ that?” I asked.

“Nothing,” Jem said. “Ask Atticus, he’ll tell you.”

“Do you defend niggers, Atticus?” I asked him that evening.

“Of course I do. Don’t say nigger, Scout. That’s common.”

“‘s what everybody at school says.”

“From now on it’ll be everybody less one—”

“Well if you don’t want me to grow up talkin‘ that way, why do you send me to school?”

“他說這些是什么意思?”我問。

“沒什么意思?！苯苣氛f，“問阿迪克斯，他會(huì)告訴你的?！?/P>

“你為黑鬼們辯護(hù)嗎，阿迪克斯?”那天晚上我問他。

“當(dāng)然啦。不要叫黑鬼，斯各特，那樣叫是粗鄙的。”

“學(xué)校里都是這么叫的?！?/P>

“但從現(xiàn)在起，這么叫的人中就可以少你一個(gè)?！?/P>

“如果你不想讓我這樣叫，為什么還要送我上學(xué)呢?”
