By now he'd come by a horse and a revolver, the rudiments

如今一匹马和一把左轮手枪
of an outfit.

成为了他的基本配置
He worked at different trades.

他从事不同的交易
He had a Bible that he'd found at the mining camps and he carried this

他还有一本圣经那是他在采矿营地里发现的
book with him, no word of which he could read.

并且一直带它在身边尽管他不识字
In his dark and frugal clothes some took him for a sort of preacher,

穿着深色而简朴的衣服以至有些人误以为他是某类传教士
but he was no witness to them, neither of things at hand nor things

He had a Bible he'd found at the mining camps, carried this book with

他有一本在采矿营地里发现的圣经并一直把它带在身边
him, "no word of which he could read."

他又不识字
Why does the kid carry a Bible, when he is illiterate, and why does

那既然这个孩子是个文盲他为什么要带圣经呢
