羊

6 Goat, goat, eat the grass.

羊在吃草。

I had a short jacket of goat-skin, the skirts coming down to about the middle of my thighs; and a pair of open-kneeed breeches of the same, the breeches were made of the skin of an old he-goat, whose hair hung down such a length on either side, that like pantaloons it reached to the middle of my legs; stockings and shoes I had none, but had made me a pair of some things, I scarce know what to call them, like buskins to flap over my legs, and lace on either side like spatter-dashes; but of a most barbarous shape, as indeed were all the rest of my clothes.

我上身穿着一件山羊皮短外衣，但衣襟遮住了一半大腿；下身穿着一条短裤，连双膝都没有盖上。短裤也是用同一张老公羊的皮做的，毛很长，几乎垂到小腿上，看上去像一条长裤。我没有鞋子和袜子，但做了一双像靴子之类东西，自己也不知道该叫什么，穿在脚上，小腿的两边再用绳子系起来，像打上了绑腿。这双靴子与我身上的其他装束一样，野蛮粗俗，实在难看。

我上身穿了一件山羊皮做的短外套，衣襟遮住了一半大腿。下身穿了一条齐膝短裤，也是用一只老公羊的皮做成的，两旁的羊毛一直垂到小腿上，看上去象条长裤。我没有鞋子，也没有袜子，但做了一双短靴似的东西，自己也不知道该叫什么，靴长刚及小腿，两边再用绳子系起来，好像绑腿一样。这双靴子与我身上的其他装束一样，极端拙劣难看。
