Then there is the headmaster, who is tall and bald, and wears gold spectacles, with a gray beard that flows down upon his breast; he dresses entirely in black, and is always buttoned up to the chin.

还有一位就是校长先生，高身秃头，戴着金边的眼镜，半白的须，长长地垂在胸前；经常穿着黑色的衣服，纽扣一直扣到腮下。

A deserting soldier in a Traveller's Rest, what lay hid up to the chin under a lot of taturs, learnt me to read; and a travelling Giant what signed his name at a penny a time learnt me to write.

一个旅人休息处的逃兵，在许多纹身下一直藏到下巴，教我读书；一个旅行的巨人，每次签上一便士的名字，就学会了我写字。
