Animal Farm（104）

Boxer and Clover always carried between them a green banner maked with the hoof and the horn and the caption，“Long live Comrade Napoleon！” Afterwards there were recitations of poems composed Napoleon's honour，and a speech by Squealer giving particulars of the latest increases in the production of foodstuffs，and on occasion a shot was fired from the gun. The sheep were the greatest devotees of the Spontaneous Demonstration，and if anyone complained（as a few animals sometimes did，when no pigs or dogs were near） that they wasted time and meant a lot of standing about in the cold，the sheep were sure to silence him with a tremendous bleating of “Four legs good，two legs bad！”But by and large animals enjoyed this celebrations. They found it comforting to be reminded that，after all，they were truly their own masters and that the work they did was for their own benefit.  So that，what with the songs，the processions， Squealer’s lists of figure，the thunder of the gun，the crowing of the cockerel， and fluttering of the flag，they were able to forget that their bellies were empty，at least part of the time.

鲍克瑟和克拉弗总是带着一面绿旗，旗上画着蹄子和犄角，还写着:"拿破仑同志万岁! "后来，大家朗诵了为纪念拿破仑而写的诗歌，斯奎拉发表了一篇演说，详细介绍了最近粮食产量增加的情况，有时还放了一枪。羊是最伟大的信徒自发的示范,如果有人抱怨(一些动物有时确实会这么做，当没有猪或狗在附近)他们浪费时间,就意味着更多人站在寒冷中。羊一定叫他安静，大声叫道“四条腿好,两条腿坏!”但总的来说，动物们很享受这种庆祝活动。毕竟，他们是自己真正的主人，他们所做的工作是为了自己的利益，想到这一点，他们感到欣慰。因此，在歌声中，在列队行进中，在斯奎拉列出的名单中，在隆隆的炮声中，在公鸡的啼叫中，在国旗的飘扬中，他们可以忘记他们的肚子是空的，至少有一段时间是空的。

In April，Animal Farm was proclaimed a Republic，and it become necessary  to elect a President. There was only one candidate，Napoleon，who was elected unanimously.

4月，动物庄园宣布成为共和国，有必要选举一位总统，只有一个候选人，拿破仑，他全票当选。
