The assistant grasped now one, now another, by the arm, and shook him; and he placed one of them against the wall--time wasted. He no longer knew what to do, and he entreated them. "Why do you behave like this? Do you wish me to punish you by force?" Then he thumped the little table with his fist, and shouted in a voice of wrath and lamentation, "Silence! Silence! Silence!" It was difficult to hear him. But the uproar continued to increase. Franti threw a paper dart at him, some uttered cat-calls, others thumped each other on the head; the hurly-burly was indescribable; when, all of a sudden, the beadle entered and said:--
助教师一个一个地去禁止他们，或是捉住他的手，或是拉了去叫他立壁角。可是仍旧无效。助教师没了法，很和气地和他们说：“你们为什么这样？难道一定要我责罚你们吗？”说了又以拳敲桌，用了愤怒而兼悲哀的声音叫：“静些！静些！”可是他们仍是不听，骚扰如故。勿兰谛向先生投掷纸团，有的吹着口笛，有的彼此以头相抵赌力，完全不知道在做什么了。这时来了一个校工，说：
"Signor Master, the headmaster has sent for you." The master rose and went out in haste, with a gesture of despair. Then the tumult began more vigorously than ever. But suddenly Garrone sprang up, his face all convulsed, and his fists clenched, and shouted in a voice choked with rage:--
“先生，校长先生有事请你。”先生现出很失望的样子，立起身匆忙就去。于是骚扰愈加厉害了。卡隆忽然站起来，他震动着头，捏紧了拳，怒不可遏地叫说：
"Stop this! You are brutes! You take advantage of him because he is kind. If he were to bruise your bones for you, you would be as abject as dogs. You are a pack of cowards! The first one of you that jeers at him again, I shall wait for outside, and I will break his teeth,--I swear it,--even under the very eyes of his father!"
“停止！你们这些不是人的东西！因为先生好说话一点，你们就轻侮他起来。倘然先生一用脱力，你们就要像狗一样地伏倒在地上哩！卑怯的东西！如果有人再敢嘲弄先生，我要打掉他的牙齿！就是他父母看见，我也不管！”
All became silent. Ah, what a fine thing it was to see Garrone, with his eyes darting flames! He seemed to be a furious young lion. He stared at the most daring, one after the other, and all hung their heads. When the assistant re-entered, with red eyes, not a breath was audible. He stood in amazement; then, catching sight of Garrone, who was still all fiery and trembling, he understood it all, and he said to him, with accents of great affection, as he might have spoken to a brother, "I thank you, Garrone."
大家不响了。这时卡隆的样子真是庄严：堂堂的立着，眼中几乎要怒出火来，好像是一匹发威的小狮子。他从最坏的人起，一一用眼去盯视，大家都不敢仰起头来。等助教师红了眼进来的时候，差不多肃静得连呼吸的声音都听不出了。助教师见这模样，大出意外，只是呆呆地立住。后来看见卡隆怒气冲冲地站在那里，就猜到了八九分，于是用了对兄弟说话时的那种充满了情爱的声气说：“卡隆！谢谢你！”
