At noon the threshers came in to the table loaded with food.

中午，脱粒机端着食物来到餐桌旁。

But there was none too much, for threshers work hard and get very hungry.

但并没有太多，因为脱粒机很辛，很饿。

It was Pa who had got the other men to stack their wheat together and send for the threshing machine, and it was a wonderful machine.

爸爸让其人把小麦堆在起，然后送去脱粒机，台很棒的机器。

" You are always trying to make me confess to all sorts of absurdities. Because I am improving my mind, of course, by seeing all these steam-ploughs, and threshing-machines, and chaff-cutters, and cows, and pigs, and sheep" .

“你总试图让我承认各种荒谬的事情。因为我正在提高我的思想， 当然，通过看到所有些蒸汽犁、脱粒机、切糠机、牛、猪， 还有羊” 。

There were no threshers there to thresh their poor old backs, or sword-fish to stab their stomachs, or saw-fish to rip them up, or ice-sharks to bite lumps out of their sides, or whalers to harpoon and lance them.

那里没有脱粒机来敲打们可怜的老背，也没有剑鱼来刺们的胃，没有锯鱼来撕开们，没有冰鲨来咬下们的身体，也没有捕鲸人用鱼叉和长矛刺们。
