Once or twice he stopped to pick flowers; but the shoes pinched his feet, and he ran on.

When the path led near the swamp, and he saw the lovely marsh-marigolds, he stopped.

蒂姆得到一次教训
But what strange things the shoes were doing!
但是，鞋子做了多么奇异的事啊！
As often as Tim turned toward the shining flowers, the fairy shoes turned back again toward school.

They pinched and pulled and twisted until the boy was afraid that his ankles would be broken.

But Tim would not give up, and with hard work he climbed down to the swamp.

The fairy shoes pulled and twisted, but Tim went on and on.
仙鞋又拉又拧，但是蒂姆还在不断往前走。
At last he got near two or three of the golden flowers.

I will have them! he said; and he gave a great jump. Down he sank into the swamp.
我会摘到它们的！”他说，然后使劲儿跳了起来，结果陷入了沼泽中。
And when he pulled his feet out of the thick mud, off came the shoes that had given him so much trouble.

"I'll just leave them here," he said crossly. "That will be the last of them!"
“我就是要把它们留在这儿，”他气愤地说，“这就是它们的葬身之地。”
Oh! how happy the little boy was! He went on easily now, and very soon was picking all the flowers he wanted.
啊！小男孩可真高兴啊！他现在轻松多了。很快，他就摘到了所有他想要的花朵。
