At other times they just act like dumb animals.

在其他时候，他们就像愚蠢的动物一样。

But I looked at Bill and stopped. He had the most appealing look in his eyes I ever saw on the face of a dumb or talking animal.

但我看了比尔一眼后，到了嘴边的话没有骂出口。他那苦苦央求的眼神太可怜了，我还从未在哪个人的脸上，无论是不能言语的哑巴或是会讲话的野兽，见到过这样的神情。

But I wish Tom had given up all his naughty tricks, and left off tormenting dumb animals now that he had plenty of playfellows to amuse him.

但我希望汤姆放弃他所有的淘气把戏，现在他有很多玩伴可以逗他开心了，所以不再去折磨愚蠢的动物了。
