Pa, Finn and I didn't have too much sympathy for the Hintons.

我、爸爸和芬恩对欣顿一家并没有太多的同情。

He muttered about the Hintons as he stood near the hot stove frying eggs.

当他站在火炉旁煎蛋时，嘴里反复嘀咕着欣顿家的不是。

I'll say one thing for the Hintons, Mom said. They're good workers.

“我要为欣顿家说句公道话，”妈妈说，“他们都是干活的好手。”

On the fourth day, my guineas flew across the valley where the Hintons were clearing land.

第四天，我的珍珠鸟飞过山谷，飞到了欣顿一家开荒的地方。

When April came and the Hintons had finished clearing the hill and had burned the brush, Mort Hinton started plowing the new ground.

到四月份时，欣顿家已经清理完了整个小山，烧掉了灌木丛，并开始耕种新地了。

Each day, that early March, rain or sunshine, four Hintons cleared land on their side of the valley, and Pa, Finn, and I cleared on our side.

三月初的每一天，无论下雨还是晴天，山谷那边，欣顿家的四个人都在开荒，山谷这边则是我、爸爸和芬恩。
