" He is just a good, kind brownie, " cried Granny Duncan. " Many a long day's work will he do for people who treat him well."

“他确实只是个好棕仙，一个善良的小棕仙。”邓肯奶奶说，“他会帮善意对待他的人做上很多天的工作。”

But providence does not allow a run of luck to last for ever, unless its debt of honour be fully paid, day by day, through many a long day, and thus made secure.

但是天意不允许运气永远持续下去，除非它的荣誉债务在许多漫长的日子里一天一天地得到完全偿还，从而确保安全。
