" Shove it, Jack, " I said. " Keep that guff for the juvenile bureau. It's a horse laugh even to them" .

“推它，杰克，” 我说。“为少年局保持那种胡言乱语。即使对他们来说也是马笑” 。

But when his older brothers and sisters found out that he had paid far more for his whistle than he should have paid, they gave him the horse laugh; and, as he said: " I cried with vexation" .

但是当他的哥哥姐姐们发现他为哨子付出的代价远远超过他应该付出的代价时，他们对他大笑起来；而且，正如他所说：“我气得哭了”。
