译文:

一只刚才在威伯的食槽边上爬的苍蝇飞了起来,却愚蠢地碰上了夏洛的网,被那些粘粘的丝线缠住了。苍蝇愤怒的拍打着翅膀,想要挣脱。

“首先,”夏洛说,“我要悄悄靠近他。”她慢慢地头朝下往苍蝇那里爬去。在她往下荡的时候,一根细丝线从她的尾部抽了出来。

“接着,我要把他包起来。”她抓住苍蝇,往他身上缠了几道黑丝线,丝线越绕越密,直到裹得苍蝇一动也不能动。威伯惊恐地看着这一切。他几乎不敢相信他所看到的场面,尽管他也憎恨苍蝇,可还是为这只苍蝇感到难过。

“看,”夏洛说。“现在我要把他弄晕,他就会觉得舒服点儿了。”她咬了苍蝇一口。”他现在毫无知觉了,”她说。”他将是我的一顿美味的早餐。”

“你是说你吃苍蝇?”威伯喘了起来。

“当然。苍蝇,小虫子,蚱蜢,漂亮的甲虫,飞蛾,蝴蝶,可口的蟑螂,蚊子,小咬儿,长脚蚊子,麻蚊子,蟋蟀——任何粗心地撞到我网上的小昆虫我都吃。我总得吃饭吧,是不是?”

“为什么?哦,是的,当然。”威伯说。“他们的味道美吗?”

“美妙极了。当然,我不是真的吃掉他们。我喝他们——喝他们的血。我喜欢喝血,”夏洛说。她的声音听起来越来越清脆,越来越快活了。

“别再说下去了!”威伯呻吟。“请不要讲这件事儿了!”

“为什么不?真的,我说的是真的。虽然我也不愿意吃苍蝇和小虫子,但那是我的生存方式。一个蜘蛛必须要设法谋生,而我恰巧可以作一名捕猎者。我生来就会织网,用它来捕食苍蝇和别的昆虫。在我之前,我的妈妈是一个捕猎者;在她之前,她的妈妈也是。我们全家都是捕猎者。千百万年以前,我们蜘蛛就靠捕食苍蝇和虫子为生了。”

“那是多么可悲的遗传。”威伯幽幽地说。他真为新朋友的残忍难过。

“是的,”夏洛表示同意。“但我也没办法改变这特性。我不知道世上最早的第一只蜘蛛是怎么想出织网这个奇妙的主意的,可是她却想出来了,她可真聪明。从那时起,我们所有的蜘蛛都会这么做了。总的来说,这个发明不坏。”
