🔊 Poor Huck was in the same state of wretchedness and terror, for Tom had told the whole story to the lawyer the night before the great day of the trial, and Huck was sore afraid that his share in the business might leak out, yet, notwithstanding Injun Joe's flight had saved him the suffering of testifying in court. The poor fellow had got the attorney to promise secrecy, but what of that? Since Tom's harassed conscience had managed to drive him to the lawyer's house by night and wring a dread tale from lips that had been sealed with the dismalest and most formidable of oaths, Huck's confidence in the human race was wellnigh obliterated.

可怜的哈克也处于同样的悲惨和恐惧之中,因为汤姆在审判大日的前一晚把整个故事告诉了律师,哈克非常害怕自己参与的事情会泄露出去,尽管印第安·乔的逃跑使他免于在法庭作证的痛苦。这可怜的家伙已经让律师答应保密,但那又有什么用?既然汤姆那备受折磨的良心设法在夜里驱使他去了律师家,从那曾被最阴森、最可怕的誓言封住的嘴唇里逼出了一个可怕的故事,哈克对人类种族的信心几乎被抹杀了。

🔊 Rewards had been offered, the country had been scoured, but no Injun Joe was found. One of those omniscient and awe-inspiring marvels, a detective, came up from St. Louis, moused around, shook his head, looked wise, and made that sort of astounding success which members of that craft usually achieve. That is to say, he "found a clew." But you can't hang a "clew" for murder, and so after that detective had got through and gone home, Tom felt just as insecure as he was before.
