The older men said I was right, the younger men said it was a damn shame to shoot an elephant for killing a coolie, because an elephant was worth more than any damn Coringhee coolie.

年纪大的人说我做的对，年纪轻的人说为了踩死一个苦力而开枪打死一头象太不像话了，因为象比科林吉苦力值钱。

In the video, though, Owens, carrying the AR-15, backs the ABC crew away from an elephant as it mock-charges, and says, “We don't want to end up having to shoot her.

尽管如此，在录像带中，在一头大象准备佯攻摄制组时，欧文斯挥舞着着AR-15 步枪将他们解救出来。 他说，“我们不想走到射杀它的那一步。”

I did not then know that in shooting an elephant one would shoot to cut an imaginary bar running from ear-hole to ear-hole.

因此，如今这头大象侧着身子对我，我就应该瞄准直射它的一只耳孔就行了；
