One evening at the Manor Farm, Old Major gathers the farm animals to impart his wisdom about the oppression by humans, as well as his dream for animals to one day overthrow the humans. He goes on to tell them of the various human vices they must avoid, teaches them a song called “Beasts of England,” and tells them who is considered a comrade and who isn’t. Mr. Jones, the overseer of the barn, shoots into the side of the barn, propelling the animals to sleep.

一天晚上，在庄园农场，老少校召集农场动物，分享他对人类压迫的智慧，以及他希望动物有一天能推翻人类的梦想。他告诉他们必须避免的各种人类恶习，教他们一首名为“英格兰野兽”的歌曲，并告诉他们谁是同志，谁不是。谷仓的监工琼斯先生向谷仓的一侧开枪，让动物们睡着了。

With the help of the cart-horses, Boxer and Clover, the pigs succeed in rallying the rest of the farm animals and follow through with their rebellion, ultimately eliminating all signs of Mr. Jones. Snowball renames the farm “Animal Farm,” and with the help of Napoleon they paint the seven commandments of Animalism on the barn. When the animals return from their harvest, the milk that the pigs had earlier taken from the cows has disappeared.

在拉车的马、鲍克瑟和克洛弗的帮助下，猪们成功召集了农场里的其他动物，并坚持反抗，最终消灭了琼斯先生的所有踪迹。雪球将农场改名为“动物农场”，在拿破仑的帮助下，他们在谷仓上画上了动物主义的七条戒律。当动物们收割完庄稼回来时，猪之前从奶牛那里挤的牛奶不见了。

The animals achieve a bountiful harvest, hold meetings to discuss the communal good, and create committees. Though the animals become somewhat literate, Snowball reduces the seven commandments to one maxim: “four legs good, two legs bad.” Tensions begin to rise after Napoleon takes Jessie and Bluebell’s puppies to care after himself, and when the animals discover that the pigs have been taking all the milk and apples.

动物们获得了丰收，召开会议讨论公共利益，并成立了委员会。尽管动物们都懂点儿知识，但雪球还是把七条诫命简化为一句格言：“四条腿好，两条腿坏。”当拿破仑带走杰西和蓝铃的小狗来照顾自己，当动物们发现猪把所有的牛奶和苹果都吃光了时，紧张局势开始加剧。

Snowball proposes a plan to build a windmill but is met with opposition by Napoleon who argues that it will require too much work. When the animals next meet to discuss Snowball’s plan to build the windmill, Snowball is attacked and chased off the farm by nine dogs commanded by Napoleon. The animals accept Squealer’s claim that Snowball was a traitor and that Napoleon is the best animal suited to lead them. Squealer also reveals that Napoleon thought that building a windmill was a good idea, but he needed to oust Snowball.

Under Napoleon and the pigs’ leadership, the animals work strenuously to build the windmill. The animals slowly begin questioning the pigs and their decisions, in particular why they have decided to work with a human and why they sleep on beds. Squealer quells their worries by asserting that the commandments were misread and that there is nothing in them that forbids them from trading with humans and using money to buy the items necessary to complete the windmill. He also asserts that the pigs need to sleep comfortably to think well. After a storm hits the farm and knocks down the windmill, Napoleon puts out a death sentence on Snowball, whom he claims sabotaged their hard work.

在拿破仑和猪的领导下，动物们努力建造风车。动物们开始慢慢质疑猪和他们的决定，特别是为什么他们决定和人类一起工作，为什么他们睡在床上。斯奎拉平息了他们的担忧，他声称这些诫命被误读了，其中没有任何内容禁止他们与人类交易，并用钱购买完成风车所需的物品。他还声称猪需要舒服地睡觉才能思考得好。一场暴风雨袭击了农场并吹倒了风车，拿破仑对雪球判处了死刑，他声称雪球破坏了他们的辛勤工作。

The animals struggle to rebuild the windmill during the bitter winter and Napoleon shocks them when he decides to sell eggs to the farmers, an act that clearly goes against Old Major’s teachings. The chickens refuse to give their eggs to Napoleon and begin to die as their rations are taken away. Napoleon holds a meeting forcing certain animals to confess to conspiring with Snowball, at which point he commands his dogs to kill them.

Meanwhile, rumors of Snowball’s betrayal continue to circulate. When Boxer faints and is taken away by a cart that suggests he is being sent to his death in a glue factory, the animals panic, but are placated by Squealer and Napoleon.

Chapter 9

Years later, Clover lets out a cry that attracts the other animals to the yard where they witness Napoleon and Squealer walking on hind legs. The pigs begin engaging in more and more human activities, even inviting Mr. Pilkington over who congratulates them on the success of their farm and their management of the other animals. The animals watch through the window as the pigs and farmers play cards, unable to distinguish who is human and who is pig.

多年后，克洛弗发出一声叫喊，其他动物被吸引到院子里，他们看到拿破仑和斯奎拉用后腿走路。猪开始越来越多地参与人类活动，甚至邀请皮尔金顿先生过来祝贺他们的农场成功以及他们对其他动物的管理。动物们透过窗户看着猪和农民打牌，无法区分谁是人，谁是猪。
