孔乙己 Kong Yiji

魯鎭的酒店的格局，是和別處不同的：都是當街一個曲尺形的大櫃臺，櫃裏面豫備着熱水，可以隨時温酒。The layout of taverns in Luzhen is different from elsewhere: each has an L-shaped counter facing the street, with hot water kept ready inside so wine can be warmed at any time.做工的人，傍午傍晚散了工，每每花四文銅錢，買一碗酒——這是二十多年前的事，現在每碗要漲到十文，——靠櫃外站着，熱熱的喝了休息；Laborers, when they knocked off work around noon or evening, would often spend four coppers to buy a bowl of wine — this was the way it was more than twenty years ago; nowadays each bowl costs as much as ten coppers — and, standing outside the counter, would drink it hot and rest a while;倘肯多花一文，便可以買一碟鹽煑筍，或者茴香豆，做下酒物了，如果出到了十幾文，那就能買一樣葷菜，但這些顧客，多是短衣幫，大抵沒有這樣闊綽。if one were willing to spend one more copper, one could buy a dish of salted, boiled bamboo shoots or fennel beans to go with the wine, and if one went so far as to spend a dozen-odd coppers, one could buy a meat dish besides — but these customers were mostly men in short jackets, and few could afford such extravagance.只有穿長衫的，纔踱進店面隔壁的房子裏，要酒要菜，慢慢地坐喝。Only those who wore long gowns would saunter into the room next to the shopfront, order wine and dishes, and sit drinking at leisure.

鲁镇的酒店的格局，是和别处不同的：都是当街一个曲尺形的大柜台，柜里面豫备着热水，可以随时温酒。做工的人，傍午傍晚散了工，每每花四文铜钱，买一碗酒——这是二十多年前的事，现在每碗要涨到十文，——靠柜外站着，热热的喝了休息；倘肯多花一文，便可以买一碟盐煑笋，或者茴香豆，做下酒物了，如果出到了十几文，那就能买一样荤菜，但这些顾客，多是短衣帮，大抵没有这样阔绰。只有穿长衫的，才踱进店面隔壁的房子里，要酒要菜，慢慢地坐喝。

我從十二歲起，便在鎭口的咸亨酒店裏當夥計，掌櫃說，樣子太儍，怕侍候不了長衫主顧，就在外面做點事罷。From the age of twelve I worked as an errand boy at the Xianheng Tavern at the edge of Luzhen. The proprietor said I looked too foolish to be trusted to wait on long-gown customers, so I had better do some work outside.外面的短衣主顧，雖然容易說話，但嘮嘮叨叨纏夾不淸的也很不少。The short-jacketed customers outside were easy enough to deal with, but quite a few of them were long-winded and hard to satisfy.他們往往要親眼看着黃酒從罎子裏舀出，看過壺子底裏有水沒有，又親看將壺子放在熱水裏，然後放心：在這嚴重監督之下，羼水也很爲難。They would often insist on watching with their own eyes as the yellow wine was ladled from the jar, checking whether there was water at the bottom of the wine-pot, and even watching the pot being set into the hot water — only then would they feel at ease; under such strict supervision, it was very hard indeed to water down the wine.所以過了幾天，掌櫃又說我幹不了這事。So after a few days, the proprietor said again that I wasn't fit for this work either.幸虧薦頭的情面大，辭退不得，便改爲專管温酒的一種無聊職務了。Fortunately the man who had recommended me carried enough weight that I couldn't simply be dismissed, so instead I was switched to the tedious sole task of warming the wine.

我从十二岁起，便在镇口的咸亨酒店里当伙计，掌柜说，样子太儍，怕侍候不了长衫主顾，就在外面做点事罢。外面的短衣主顾，虽然容易说话，但唠唠叨叨缠夹不淸的也很不少。他们往往要亲眼看着黄酒从坛子里舀出，看过壶子底里有水没有，又亲看将壶子放在热水里，然后放心：在这严重监督之下，羼水也很为难。所以过了几天，掌柜又说我干不了这事。幸亏荐头的情面大，辞退不得，便改为专管温酒的一种无聊职务了。

我從此便整天的站在櫃臺裏，專管我的職務。From then on I stood all day long behind the counter, attending only to my one duty.雖然沒有什麽失職，但總覺有些單調，有些無聊。Though I never neglected my job, I always felt it rather monotonous and tedious.掌櫃是一副凶臉孔，主顧也沒有好聲氣，教人活潑不得；The proprietor wore a fierce scowl, and the customers were none too pleasant either, so there was no chance to be lively;只有孔乙己到店，纔可以笑幾聲，所以至今還記得。only when Kong Yiji came to the shop could I manage a few laughs, which is why I still remember him to this day.

我从此便整天的站在柜台里，专管我的职务。虽然没有什么失职，但总觉有些单调，有些无聊。掌柜是一副凶脸孔，主顾也没有好声气，教人活泼不得；只有孔乙己到店，才可以笑几声，所以至今还记得。

孔乙己是站着喝酒而穿長衫的唯一的人。Kong Yiji was the only one who drank standing up and yet wore a long gown.他身材很高大；He was very tall and big-boned;靑白臉色，皺紋間時常夾些傷痕；his face was pale and sallow, and among its wrinkles there were often scars;一部亂蓬蓬的花白的鬍子。he had a large, unkempt, grizzled beard.穿的雖然是長衫，可是又髒又破，似乎十多年沒有補，也沒有洗。Though what he wore was a long gown, it was dirty and tattered, and seemed not to have been mended or washed in over ten years.他對人說話，總是滿口之乎者也，教人半懂不懂的。When he spoke to people, his mouth was always full of classical particles like "zhi," "hu," "zhe," and "ye," half of which no one could understand.因爲他姓孔，別人便從描紅紙上的『上大人孔乙己』這半懂不懂的話裏，替他取下一個綽號，叫作孔乙己。Because his surname was Kong, people took the half-understood phrase "Shang Da Ren Kong Yiji" from the copybook used for practicing characters, and from it fashioned a nickname for him: Kong Yiji.孔乙己一到店，所有喝酒的人便都看着他笑，有的叫道：『孔乙己，你臉上又添上新傷疤了！』他不回答，對櫃裏說：『温兩碗酒，要一碟茴香豆。』便排出九文大錢。Whenever Kong Yiji came to the shop, all the wine-drinkers there would look at him and laugh, and some would call out, "Kong Yiji, you've got a new scar on your face again!" He would not answer, but say to the counter, "Warm two bowls of wine, and a dish of fennel beans." Then he would lay out nine coppers in cash.他們又故意的高聲嚷道：『你一定又偸了人家的東西了！』孔乙己睜大眼睛說：『你怎麽這樣憑空汚人淸白……』『什麽淸白？They would go on, deliberately raising their voices: "You must have stolen something from someone again!" Kong Yiji would open his eyes wide and say, "How can you slander an innocent man's good name out of thin air—" "Good name?我前天親眼見你偸了何家的書，弔着打。』孔乙己便漲紅了臉，額上的靑筋條條綻出，爭辯道：『竊書不能算偸……Why, the day before yesterday I saw with my own eyes that you stole books from the He family, and got strung up and beaten for it." At this Kong Yiji's face would flush red, the veins standing out on his forehead, and he would argue back, "Taking a book can't be called stealing…竊書！……Taking books!…讀書人的事，能算偸麽？』接連便是難懂的話，什麽『君子固窮』，什麽『者乎』之類，引得衆人都哄笑起來；It's a scholar's affair — how can that be called stealing?" Then would follow words hard to understand, things like "a gentleman keeps his integrity even in poverty" and other bits of "zhe" and "hu," which set the whole crowd roaring with laughter;店內外充滿了快活的空氣。the whole shop, inside and out, was filled with an air of merriment.

孔乙己是站着喝酒而穿长衫的唯一的人。他身材很高大；靑白脸色，皱纹间时常夹些伤痕；一部乱蓬蓬的花白的胡子。穿的虽然是长衫，可是又脏又破，似乎十多年没有补，也没有洗。他对人说话，总是满口之乎者也，教人半懂不懂的。因为他姓孔，别人便从描红纸上的『上大人孔乙己』这半懂不懂的话里，替他取下一个绰号，叫作孔乙己。孔乙己一到店，所有喝酒的人便都看着他笑，有的叫道：『孔乙己，你脸上又添上新伤疤了！』他不回答，对柜里说：『温两碗酒，要一碟茴香豆。』便排出九文大钱。他们又故意的高声嚷道：『你一定又偸了人家的东西了！』孔乙己睁大眼睛说：『你怎么这样凭空汚人淸白……』『什么淸白？我前天亲眼见你偸了何家的书，吊着打。』孔乙己便涨红了脸，额上的靑筋条条绽出，争辩道：『窃书不能算偸……窃书！……读书人的事，能算偸么？』接连便是难懂的话，什么『君子固穷』，什么『者乎』之类，引得众人都哄笑起来；店内外充满了快活的空气。

聽人家背地裏談論，孔乙己原來也讀過書，但終于沒有進學，又不會營生；From what people said behind his back, it turned out Kong Yiji had indeed studied, but had never managed to pass the examinations, and had no skill in making a living;于是愈過愈窮，弄到將要討飯了。so he grew poorer and poorer, until he was almost reduced to begging.幸而寫得一筆好字，便替人家鈔鈔書，換一碗飯喫。Fortunately he wrote a fine hand, and so he could copy books for people in exchange for a bowl of rice.可惜他又有一樣壞脾氣，便是好喝嬾做。The pity was that he had one bad habit besides — he loved to drink and was too lazy to work.坐不到幾天，便連人和書籍紙張筆硯，一齊失蹤。He wouldn't sit at it more than a few days before he, along with the books, paper, and writing brushes, would vanish together.如是幾次，叫他鈔書的人也沒有了。After this happened several times, there was no one left willing to hire him to copy books.孔乙己沒有法，便免不了偶然做些偸竊的事。With no other way out, Kong Yiji couldn't help but occasionally resort to a bit of petty theft.但他在我們店裏，品行卻比別人都好，就是從不拖欠；But at our shop his conduct was better than anyone else's — he never once let his bill run unpaid;雖然間或沒有現錢，暫時記在粉板上，但不出一月，定然還淸，從粉板上拭去了孔乙己的名字。even when now and then he had no cash on hand and it was written for a while on the chalkboard, before a month was out he would surely settle it in full, and Kong Yiji's name would be wiped from the board.

听人家背地里谈论，孔乙己原来也读过书，但终于没有进学，又不会营生；于是愈过愈穷，弄到将要讨饭了。幸而写得一笔好字，便替人家钞钞书，换一碗饭吃。可惜他又有一样坏脾气，便是好喝嬾做。坐不到几天，便连人和书籍纸张笔砚，一齐失踪。如是几次，叫他钞书的人也没有了。孔乙己没有法，便免不了偶然做些偸窃的事。但他在我们店里，品行却比别人都好，就是从不拖欠；虽然间或没有现钱，暂时记在粉板上，但不出一月，定然还淸，从粉板上拭去了孔乙己的名字。

孔乙己喝過半碗酒，漲紅的臉色漸漸復了原，旁人便又問道，『孔乙己，你當眞認識字麽？』孔乙己看着問他的人，顯出不屑置辯的神氣。After Kong Yiji had drunk half a bowl of wine, the flush would gradually fade from his face, and someone would ask again, "Kong Yiji, do you really know how to read?" Kong Yiji would look at whoever asked him this, wearing an expression of not deigning to argue.他們便接着說道：『你怎的連半個秀才也撈不到呢？』孔乙己立刻顯出頹唐不安模樣，臉上籠上了一層灰色，嘴裏說些話；They would then go on to say, "Then how is it you never managed to pass even the lowest examination?" At once Kong Yiji would look downcast and uneasy, a grey pallor spreading over his face, and his lips would move, saying something;這回可是全是之乎者也之類，一些不懂了。this time it was entirely those classical particles, and not a word of it could be understood.在這時候，衆人也都哄笑起來：店內外充滿了快活的空氣。At such times the whole crowd would burst out laughing again: the shop, inside and out, was filled with an air of merriment.

孔乙己喝过半碗酒，涨红的脸色渐渐复了原，旁人便又问道，『孔乙己，你当真认识字么？』孔乙己看着问他的人，显出不屑置辩的神气。他们便接着说道：『你怎的连半个秀才也捞不到呢？』孔乙己立刻显出颓唐不安模样，脸上笼上了一层灰色，嘴里说些话；这回可是全是之乎者也之类，一些不懂了。在这时候，众人也都哄笑起来：店内外充满了快活的空气。

在這些時候，我可以附和着笑，掌櫃是決不責備的。At such times I was allowed to join in the laughter, and the proprietor never scolded me for it.而且掌櫃見了孔乙己，也每每這樣問他，引人發笑。Moreover, whenever the proprietor saw Kong Yiji, he too would often ask him the same question, just to raise a laugh.孔乙己自己知道不能和他們談天，便只好向孩子說話。Kong Yiji himself knew it was no use trying to talk with them, and so he would only turn and speak to us children instead.有一回對我說道，『你讀過書麽？』我略略點一點頭。Once he said to me, "Have you ever studied?" I gave a slight nod.他說，『讀過書，……He said, "So you've studied…我便考你一考。Then let me test you.茴香豆的茴字，怎樣寫的？』我想，討飯一樣的人，也配考我麽？The word 'hui' in 'fennel beans' — how is it written?" I thought, is a man who might as well be a beggar fit to test me?便回過臉去，不再理會。So I turned my face away and paid him no more attention.孔乙己等了許久，很懇切的說道：『不能寫罷？……Kong Yiji waited a good while, then said very earnestly, "You can't write it, can you?…我教給你，記着！Let me teach you — remember it!這些字應該記着。Characters like this you ought to remember.將來做掌櫃的時候，寫帳要用。』我暗想我和掌櫃的等級還很遠呢，而且我們掌櫃也從不將茴香豆上帳；Later, when you become a shopkeeper yourself, you'll need it for keeping accounts." I thought secretly that I was still a very long way from being a shopkeeper, and besides, our own proprietor never once entered fennel beans in the accounts;又好笑，又不耐煩，嬾嬾的答他道：『誰要你教，不是草頭底下一個來回的回字麽？』孔乙己顯出極高興的樣子，將兩個指頭的長指甲敲着櫃臺，點頭說：『對呀對呀！……amused and impatient both, I answered him lazily, "Who asked you to teach me? Isn't it the character 'hui' made of the grass radical over a 'hui' meaning 'return'?" Kong Yiji looked extremely pleased, tapping the counter with the two long fingernails of his fingers, and said, nodding, "Right, right!…回字有四樣寫法，你知道麽？』我愈不耐煩了，努着嘴走遠。There are four ways of writing the character 'hui' — did you know that?" I grew more impatient still, and walked off, pouting.孔乙己剛用指甲蘸了酒，想在櫃上寫字，見我毫不熱心，便又歎一口氣，顯出極惋惜的樣子。Kong Yiji had just dipped his fingernail in the wine, meaning to write the character on the counter, but seeing how utterly uninterested I was, he only sighed and looked most regretful.

在这些时候，我可以附和着笑，掌柜是决不责备的。而且掌柜见了孔乙己，也每每这样问他，引人发笑。孔乙己自己知道不能和他们谈天，便只好向孩子说话。有一回对我说道，『你读过书么？』我略略点一点头。他说，『读过书，……我便考你一考。茴香豆的茴字，怎样写的？』我想，讨饭一样的人，也配考我么？便回过脸去，不再理会。孔乙己等了许久，很恳切的说道：『不能写罢？……我教给你，记着！这些字应该记着。将来做掌柜的时候，写帐要用。』我暗想我和掌柜的等级还很远呢，而且我们掌柜也从不将茴香豆上帐；又好笑，又不耐烦，嬾嬾的答他道：『谁要你教，不是草头底下一个来回的回字么？』孔乙己显出极高兴的样子，将两个指头的长指甲敲着柜台，点头说：『对呀对呀！……回字有四样写法，你知道么？』我愈不耐烦了，努着嘴走远。孔乙己刚用指甲蘸了酒，想在柜上写字，见我毫不热心，便又叹一口气，显出极惋惜的样子。

有幾回，鄰舍孩子聽得笑聲，也趕熱鬧，圍住了孔乙己。Sometimes the neighborhood children, hearing the laughter, would come running to join the fun, and crowd around Kong Yiji.他便給他們茴香豆喫，一人一顆。He would give them fennel beans to eat, one apiece.孩子喫完豆，仍然不散，眼睛都望着碟子。When the children had finished their beans, they still would not scatter, their eyes all fixed on the dish.孔乙己着了慌，伸開五指將碟子罩住，彎腰下去說道：『不多了，我已經不多了。』直起身又看一看豆，自己搖頭說：『不多不多！Flustered, Kong Yiji would spread his five fingers to cover the dish, and bending down, say, "There isn't much left, I really haven't much left." Then straightening up, he would look at the beans again and shake his head, saying, "Not much, not much!多乎哉？Is it much?不多也。』于是這一羣孩子都在笑聲裏走散了。Not much at all." And with that the whole crowd of children would scatter, laughing.

有几回，邻舍孩子听得笑声，也赶热闹，围住了孔乙己。他便给他们茴香豆吃，一人一颗。孩子吃完豆，仍然不散，眼睛都望着碟子。孔乙己着了慌，伸开五指将碟子罩住，弯腰下去说道：『不多了，我已经不多了。』直起身又看一看豆，自己摇头说：『不多不多！多乎哉？不多也。』于是这一群孩子都在笑声里走散了。

孔乙己是這樣的使人快活，可是沒有他，別人也便這麽過。Kong Yiji brought such amusement to others, yet without him, everyone else got on just the same.

孔乙己是这样的使人快活，可是没有他，别人也便这么过。

有一天，大約是中秋前的兩三天，掌櫃正在慢慢的結帳，取下粉板，忽然說：『孔乙己長久沒有來了。One day, about two or three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the proprietor was settling the accounts at his leisure, and had just taken down the chalkboard, when he suddenly said, "Kong Yiji hasn't been in for a long while.還欠十九個錢呢！』我纔也覺得他的確長久沒有來了。He still owes nineteen coppers!" Only then did I too realize that he had indeed not come for a long time.一個喝酒的人說道，『他怎麽會來？……One of the drinkers said, "How could he come?…他打折了腿了。』掌櫃說：『哦！』『他總仍舊是偸。He's had his leg broken." The proprietor said, "Oh!" "He's still at it — stealing.這一回，是自己發昏，竟偸到丁舉人家裏去了。This time he was foolish enough to go and steal from the household of Squire Ding, no less.他家的東西，偸得的麽？』『後來怎麽樣？』『怎麽樣？Whoever heard of stealing from a family like that?" "What happened after?" "What happened?先寫服辯，後來是打，打了大半夜，再打折了腿。』『後來呢？』『後來打折了腿了。』『打折了怎樣呢？』『怎樣？……First he had to write a confession, and then came the beating — beaten for the better part of the night, and his leg broken besides." "And after that?" "After that his leg was broken." "Broken, and then what?" "What?…誰曉得？Who knows?許是死了。』掌櫃也不再問，仍然慢慢的算他的帳。Probably dead by now." The proprietor asked no more, and went on slowly reckoning his accounts.

有一天，大约是中秋前的两三天，掌柜正在慢慢的结帐，取下粉板，忽然说：『孔乙己长久没有来了。还欠十九个钱呢！』我才也觉得他的确长久没有来了。一个喝酒的人说道，『他怎么会来？……他打折了腿了。』掌柜说：『哦！』『他总仍旧是偸。这一回，是自己发昏，竟偸到丁举人家里去了。他家的东西，偸得的么？』『后来怎么样？』『怎么样？先写服辩，后来是打，打了大半夜，再打折了腿。』『后来呢？』『后来打折了腿了。』『打折了怎样呢？』『怎样？……谁晓得？许是死了。』掌柜也不再问，仍然慢慢的算他的帐。

中秋過後，秋風是一天涼比一天，看看將近初冬；After Mid-Autumn, the autumn wind grew colder day by day, and winter drew near;我整天的靠着火，也須穿上棉襖了。I spent the whole day huddled by the fire, and even had to put on a padded jacket.一天的下半天，沒有一個顧客，我正合了眼坐着。One afternoon, with not a single customer in the shop, I was sitting with my eyes closed.忽然間聽得一個聲音，『温一碗酒。』這聲音雖然極低，卻很耳熟。Suddenly I heard a voice: "Warm a bowl of wine." The voice was very faint, yet it sounded familiar.看時又全沒有人。I looked up, but there was no one to be seen.站起來向外一望，那孔乙己便在櫃臺下對了門檻坐着。I stood and looked out over the counter, and there was Kong Yiji, sitting below the counter facing the threshold.他臉上黑而且瘦，已經不成樣子；His face was dark and thin, hardly recognizable as his own;穿一件破夾襖，盤着兩腿，下面墊一個蒲包，用草繩在肩上掛住；he wore a tattered, lined jacket, his legs crossed beneath him, with a straw mat cushioning him from below, held up over his shoulders by a rope of straw;見了我，又說道，『温一碗酒。』掌櫃也伸出頭去，一面說：『孔乙己麽？seeing me, he said again, "Warm a bowl of wine." The proprietor too stretched his head out, saying as he did, "Kong Yiji?你還欠十九個錢呢！』孔乙己很頹唐的仰面答道，『這……You still owe nineteen coppers!" Kong Yiji answered, looking most downcast, raising his face, "This…下回還淸罷。next time I'll pay it all off.這一回是現錢，酒要好。』掌櫃仍然同平常一樣，笑着對他說，『孔乙己，你又偸了東西了！』但他這回卻不十分分辯，單說了一句『不要取笑！』『取笑？This time it's cash — let the wine be good." The proprietor, just as he always did, said to him with a laugh, "Kong Yiji, you've been stealing again!" But this time he did not argue back much, only saying, "Don't make fun of me!" "Make fun of you?要是不偸，怎麽會打斷腿？』孔乙己低聲說道：『跌斷，跌，跌……』他的眼色，很像懇求掌櫃，不要再提。If you hadn't stolen, how would your leg have gotten broken?" Kong Yiji said in a low voice, "I fell, broke it falling, falling…" The look in his eyes seemed to plead with the proprietor not to bring it up again.此時已經聚集了幾個人，便和掌櫃都笑了。By this time several people had gathered, and they laughed along with the proprietor.我温了酒，端出去，放在門檻上。I warmed the wine, carried it out, and set it down on the threshold.他從破衣袋裏摸出四文大錢，放在我手裏，見他滿手是泥，原來他便用這手走來的。He fished four coppers out of his ragged pocket and put them in my hand; I saw his hand was covered in mud — he must have come walking on his hands.不一會，他喝完酒，便又在旁人的說笑聲中，坐着用這手慢慢走去了。Before long he finished the wine, and amid the laughter and talk of the others, went off, walking slowly away on his hands.

中秋过后，秋风是一天凉比一天，看看将近初冬；我整天的靠着火，也须穿上棉袄了。一天的下半天，没有一个顾客，我正合了眼坐着。忽然间听得一个声音，『温一碗酒。』这声音虽然极低，却很耳熟。看时又全没有人。站起来向外一望，那孔乙己便在柜台下对了门槛坐着。他脸上黑而且瘦，已经不成样子；穿一件破夹袄，盘着两腿，下面垫一个蒲包，用草绳在肩上挂住；见了我，又说道，『温一碗酒。』掌柜也伸出头去，一面说：『孔乙己么？你还欠十九个钱呢！』孔乙己很颓唐的仰面答道，『这……下回还淸罢。这一回是现钱，酒要好。』掌柜仍然同平常一样，笑着对他说，『孔乙己，你又偸了东西了！』但他这回却不十分分辩，单说了一句『不要取笑！』『取笑？要是不偸，怎么会打断腿？』孔乙己低声说道：『跌断，跌，跌……』他的眼色，很像恳求掌柜，不要再提。此时已经聚集了几个人，便和掌柜都笑了。我温了酒，端出去，放在门槛上。他从破衣袋里摸出四文大钱，放在我手里，见他满手是泥，原来他便用这手走来的。不一会，他喝完酒，便又在旁人的说笑声中，坐着用这手慢慢走去了。

自此以後，又長久沒有看見孔乙己。After that, once again it was a long time before anyone saw Kong Yiji.到了年關，掌櫃取下粉板說：『孔乙己還欠十九個錢呢！』到第二年的端午，又說：『孔乙己還欠十九個錢呢！』到中秋可是沒有說，再到年關也沒有看見他。When the year's end came, the proprietor took down the chalkboard and said, "Kong Yiji still owes nineteen coppers!" By the Dragon Boat Festival of the following year he said again, "Kong Yiji still owes nineteen coppers!" But by Mid-Autumn he said nothing more, and when the year's end came round again, still no one had seen him.

自此以后，又长久没有看见孔乙己。到了年关，掌柜取下粉板说：『孔乙己还欠十九个钱呢！』到第二年的端午，又说：『孔乙己还欠十九个钱呢！』到中秋可是没有说，再到年关也没有看见他。

我到現在終于沒有見——大約孔乙己的確死了。To this day I have never seen him again — Kong Yiji must surely be dead.

我到现在终于没有见——大约孔乙己的确死了。
