英文备注译文：

有充分的理由相信，潘趣和他的妻子原本是中国人；我们所有的木偶戏都是从那个国家带来的。在一个躲在窗帘后面的人头上的小剧场，正是中国的。中国人的名字仍然是他们的发明者；但是，木偶表演者的附加表现与两者有所不同，这是Fantoccini的简单起源，它包括通过附在人物特定部分的弹簧使木偶运动。

这些跳舞的小木偶不仅仅是为了孩子们的娱乐而展出的；他们为皇帝和他的宫廷提供娱乐，尤其是为那些从隐居生活方式中很容易被任何娱乐消遣的女士提供娱乐，无论多么幼稚。我们从巴罗先生那里发现，木偶表演是给玛卡尼勋爵和他在鞑靼的皇帝宫殿盖霍尔的套房的一种娱乐。

英文原文：

There is every reason to believe , that Punch and his wife were originally natives of China ; and that all our puppet-shows were brought from that country . The little theatre , above the head of a man concealed behind a curtain , is precisely Chinese . Les ombres Chinoises still bear the name of their inventors ; but the annexed representation of a puppet-showman is somewhat different from both , and is the simple origin of the Fantoccini which consists in giving motion to the puppets , by means of springs attached to particular parts of the figures.  

These little dancing puppets are not merely exhibited for the amusement of children ; they furnish entertainment for the Emperor and his court , and more especially for the ladies who , from their recluse mode of life ,are easily diverted with any kind of amusement , however childish . We find from Mr . Barrow , that a puppetshow was one species of entertainment given to Lord Macartney and his suite at the Emperor's palace of Gehol in Tartary.
