How amusing it is，he said to him，that an insect like thisshould.talk of such important matters!He thinks his countryis so highly developed!But I suppose even tiny creatures likehim have a hole in the ground that they call a home.Theyargue，they love，they fight and they die，as we do.But ofcourse the poor little animals aren't on our level.

多么有意思，他对他说，像这样的小昆虫也能谈论如此重要的事情!他认为他的国家有如此发达!不过我想就是像他这样的小动物在地面也有个洞子他们自己称作家。他们争辩、恋爱、战争、死亡，跟我们一样。当然这种可怜的小动物跟我们不是在同一个层次。

I could not believe what I was hearing.He was laughing at my country，a country famous for itsbeautiful cities and palaces，its great kings and queens，its brave and honestpeople.However，there was nothing I could do about it，and I simply had to accept thesituation.

我不能相信我所听到的。他在嘲笑我的祖国，一个以其美丽的城市和宫殿、以其伟大的国王和王后、以其英勇而诚实的人民而闻名的国家。不过我对此毫无办法，只有简单地接受这种处境。

The worst problem I had at the palace was the Queen's dwarf.Until I arrived，he had alwaysbeen the smallest person in the country.As I was much smaller than him，he was very rude tome and behaved very badly，especially when nobody was looking.

我在宫里最糟糕的问题是王后的侏儒。我到达前，他一直是这个国家最矮小的人。因为我远比他矮，他对我很粗鲁，他表现得很不好，特别是当没人在旁看着时。

Once he took a large bone from the table and stood it on the Queen's plate.Then he took me inboth hands and pushed my legs into the top of the bone.I could not pull myself out，and hadto stay there，feeling—and looking—extremely stupid.When the Queen finally saw me，shecould not stop herself laughing， but she was angry with the dwarf at the same time.InBrobdingnag there are large numbers of flies in summer, and these awful insects，each as big asan English bird, gave me no peace.

有一次他从桌上拿了一根大骨头立在王后的盘子上，然后抓着我的两只手把我的双腿推进骨头的顶端，我自己出不来，只有呆在那儿，感觉—而且看起来也是—极为愚蠢，王后最终看见了，禁不住笑起来，但同时也对侏儒非常生气。布罗卜丁奈格夏天有大量的苍蝇，而这种可怕的昆虫每个有英格兰一只鸟那么大，扰得我毫无宁日。
