Animal farm（98）

None of the animals could find any idea as to what this meant，except old Benjamin，who nodded his muzzle with a knowing air，and seemed to understand，but would say nothing.

所有的动物都不知道这是什么意思，除了老本杰明，他点了点头，一副知道的样子，似乎明白了，但什么也没说。

But a few days later Muriel，reading over the Seven Commitments to herself，noticed that there was yet another of them which the animals had remembered wrong.  They had thought the Fifth Commandment was“No animal shall drink alcohol【n. 酒精，乙醇】，”but there were two words they had forgotten.  Actually the Commandment read：“No animal shall drink alcohol to excess.”

但几天后，穆丽尔给自己读了一遍七条承诺，注意到还有一条被动物们记错了。他们原以为第五诫是“任何动物都不得饮酒”，但有两个词他们忘记了。实际上，这条戒律是这样写的:“任何动物都不得饮酒过度。”
