英语翻译
After the dog is secured to a rope with a knot,Mr.Robert April pulls the playful animal behind him,determined to walk until it has completed its business in the various yards of the town.A neighbor who also walks his dog at this time passes April without a word or even a pause created by the two animals.The neighbor continues,feeling a twinge of pity for the glassy-eyed and obviously retarded Robert April,whom no one has ever heard speak or express emotion.
In truth,young Mr.April is not retarded.He has simply suffered enough disappointments in life not to care what tomorrow brings or what adventures might lie in his future.He has to work too hard to stop himself from caring about the pain in his past.He knows he is a source of gossip,and he doesn’t care.He knows he is thought to be mentally deficient,and he doesn’t care.
