I am sure you have had days on which you simply could not get a particular song out of your mind. It is fascinating, how our brain usually lects the most trivial ntences in a song, or the most unimpressive tones in a music piece to remember and repeat, non-stop. As with mr. Mark Twain, the writer of this story, himlf, who recounts here how a simple rhyme he read in a newspaper drove him crazy. Like any infectious dia, he one day pass the jingle that is stuck in his mind to his dear friend, who from that moment on cannot get rid of it. Let’ read how this friend of Mark Twain dealt with this torturing song in his thoughts, all through a funeral rmon he had to give,which was as expected, not so much appreciated.

All through breakfast they went waltzing through my brain; and when, at last, I rolled up my napkin, I could not tell whether I had eaten anything or not.
我不久前在报纸上看到了上⾯这段节奏明快的押韵词，于是连续读了好⼏遍。然后，我在很短的时间内被这段⽂字成功洗脑了。整个早餐时间，这段话⼀直在我的脑海⾥跳着华尔兹；甚⾄，当我⽤餐完毕，卷起餐⼱时，我都记不起我究竟吃了还是没吃。谷丙转氨酶偏高怎么办

3. I fought hard for an hour, but it was uless. My head kept humming, "A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare, a buff trip slip for a six-cent fare," and so on and so on, without peace or respite. The planned day's work was ruined--I could e that plainly enough. I suffered all morning and afternoon; suffered all through an unconscious and unrefreshing dinner; suffered, and cried, and jingled all through the evening; went to bed and rolled, tosd, and jingledright along; I got up at midnight frantic,and tried to read; but there was nothing visible upon the whirlingpage except "Punch! punch in the prence of the pasnjare." By sunri I was out of my mind, and everybody marveled and was distresd at the idiotic burden of myravings--"Punch! oh, punch! punch in the prence of the pas
njare!"
我花了⼀个⼩时打算把这段话忘掉，但失败了。我的脑袋⼀直在嗡嗡作响地单曲回放——“蓝⾊车票票⾯8美分；浅黄⾊车票票⾯ 6美分……”，完全不给我平静下来喘息⼀下的机会。毫⽆疑问，我⼀整天的⼯作计划就这样泡汤了。它让我整个上午和下午都备受煎熬；晚餐同样在煎熬中度过，吃下的每⼀⼝⾷物都变得索然⽆味；整个晚上，我的头脑⾥除了煎熬、呐喊，剩下的就只有那段节奏明快、合辙押韵的话语；我躺在床上准备⼊睡，于是我开始辗转反侧，那段话依旧萦绕在我⽿边；午夜时分，我被惊醒了，然后，我起来试图读读书；但在翻动的书页间，除了那段““检票了，伙计们！检票了，当⾯检！””以外，我什么也看不见。直到⽇出时，我依然⼼不在焉。见到我的每个⼈，都被我嘴⾥不停念叨的那段愚蠢的话——“检票了，伙计们！检票了，当⾯检！”，弄得莫名其妙，痛苦不已。

5. My friend eyed me blankly, looked perplexed, they said: "I do not think I get your drift, Mark. Then
does not em to be any relevancy in what you have said. What is--" But I heard no more. I was already far away with my pitiless, heartbreaking "blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare, buff trip slip for a six-cent fare, pink trip slip for a three-cent fare; punch in the prence of the pasnjare." I do not know what occurred during the other nine miles.
我的朋友茫然地看着我，看上去很困惑。他对我说：“我搞不懂你在说什么，马克。你说的话似乎毫⽆关联。那个——是什么意思？ ”但我根本没听到他在说什么，我的思绪早已被那段冷漠且令⼈⼼碎的“蓝⾊票，⼋分钱，黄⾊票，六分钱，粉⾊票，三分钱，检票时，当⾯检！检票时！当⾯检！”；请当着乘客的⾯给车票打孔”带到了九霄云外。我完全不知道接下来的9英⾥路程都发⽣了什么。

Tho are about the same words you said before; there does not em to be anything in them, and yet they nearly break my heart when you say them. Punch in the--how is it they go?" I began at the beginning and repeated all the lines.

7. My friend's face lighted with interest. He said: "Why, what a captivating jingle it is! It is almost music. It flows along so nicely. I have nearly caught the rhymes mylf. Say them over just once more, and then I'll have them, sure." I said them over. Then Mr. ------ said them. He made one little mistake, which I corrected. The next time and the next he got them right. Now a great burden emed to tumble from my shoulders. That torturing jingle departed out of my brain, and a grateful n of rest and peace descended upon me. I was light-hearted enough to sing; so I did sing and even talked for two hours, straight along, as we went jogging homeward.
我的朋友兴致勃勃地看着我说：这押韵词简直太让⼈着迷了！它简直可以称得上⾳乐作品。它的韵律如此美妙。我⼏乎已经学会了它的韵律。你再说⼀遍，我就能完全掌握了，我确定。”于是，我⼜说了⼀遍。接着，某先⽣也说了⼀遍。他犯了⼀处⼩错误，我帮他纠正了。然后，接下来的两遍，他都说对了。此时，我似乎有种如释重负的感觉。⼀直折磨着我的那段押韵词从我⼤脑中消失了，随之⽽来

Mr.------ turned a lack-luster eyeupon me, drew a deep sigh, and said, without animation, without apparent consciousness: "Punch, brothers, punch with care! Punch in the prence of the pasnjare!" A pang shot through me as I said to mylf, "Poor fellow, poor fellow! he has got it, now." I did not e Mr.------ for two or three days after that. Then, on Tuesday evening, he staggeredinto my prence and sank dejectedlyinto a at. He was pale, worn; he was a wreck.
当与我的朋友挥⼿告别时，我对他说：“今天可真开⼼啊！但，我记得你已经两个⼩时没说⼀句话了。快，快来说点⼉什么吧！”牧师某先⽣向我投来了暗淡的⽬光，深深地叹了⼀⼝⽓，死⽓沉沉地说：检票时，当⾯检！检票时！当⾯检！” 我⼼中感到⼀阵刺痛，⾃⾔⾃语道： “可怜的家伙，可怜的家伙！现在轮到他了！”之后的两三天，我没见到某先⽣。直到星期⼆的晚上，他步履蹒跚地出现在我⾯前，垂头丧⽓地瘫坐在椅⼦上。他脸⾊苍⽩，看上去⼗分疲倦且病病殃殃的。
