Chapter 1 We decide to go on holiday
1 决定去度假
There were four of us---George,and William Samuel Harris, and myself, and Montmorency. We were sitting in my room, and we were smoking and talking about how bad we were---ill, I mean, of course.
我们一伙是四个—乔治，威廉·塞缪尔·哈里斯，我，还有“元帅”。那天，大伙儿坐在我的房间里，抽烟、聊天，谈到我们的近况有多糟糕—当然我指的是病得多糟糕。
We were all feeling in poor health, and we were getting quite worried about it. Harris said that he felt really bad sometimes, and he did not know what he was doing. And then George said that he felt bad, too, and that he did not know what he was doing either. With me it was my heart. I knew it was my heart because I had read something in a magazine about the symp-toms of a bad heart. I had all of them.
大家都感到浑身不舒服，心里直发慌。哈里斯说他常常觉得十分难受，不知道自己在干些什么。乔治说，他也经常发昏，不知道自己在干什么。至于我，是心脏病，因为我在一本杂志上看到过心脏有病的症状，我全都有。
It is a most extraordinary thing, but every time I read about an illness, I realize that I have it too, and that my symptoms are very bad! In fact, my health has always been a worry, I remember…
说来真怪，每次看到有关各种疾病的情况，我就意识到自己也有——而且还病得很重。坦率地说，我的身体一直令人担心。我还记得……
One day I had a little health problem, and I went to the British Museum Library to read about it.
有一次我有点小毛病，就去了大英博物馆查查医书。
