英文童话故事：Rapunzel

英文童话故事：Rapunzel

ONCE upon a time there lived a man and his wife who were very unhappy because they had no children. These good people had a little window at the back of their house, which looked into the most lovely garden, full of all manner of beautiful flowers and vegetables; but the garden was surrounded by a

high wall,1 and no one dared to enter it, for it belonged to

a witch2 of great power, who was feared by the whole world.

One day the woman stood at the window3 overlooking the garden, and saw there a bed full of the finest rampion：4 the leaves looked so fresh and green that she longed to eat

them.5 The desire grew day by day, and just because she knew she couldn't possibly get any, she pined away and became

quite pale and wretched. Then her husband grew alarmed and said：

"What ails you, dear wife?"

"Oh," she answered, "if I don't get some rampion to eat

out of the garden behind the house, I know I shall die."6

The man,7 who loved her dearly, thought to himself, "Come! rather than let your wife die you shall fetch her some rampion, no matter the cost."8 So at dusk he climbed over the wall into the witch's garden, and, hastily gathering a

handful of rampion leaves, he returned with them to his wife. She made them into a salad, which tasted so good that her longing for the forbidden food was greater than ever.9 If she were to know any peace of mind, there was nothing for it but that her husband should climb over the garden wall again, and fetch her some more. So at dusk over he got, but when he

reached the other side he drew back in terror, for there, standing before him, was the old witch.10

"How dare you," she said, with a wrathful glance, "climb into my garden and steal my rampion like a common thief? You shall suffer for your foolhardiness."

"Oh!" he implored, "pardon my presumption; necessity alone drove me to the deed. My wife saw your rampion from her window, and conceived such a desire for it that she would certainly have died if her wish had not been gratified." Then the Witch's anger was a little appeased, and she said：

"If it's as you say, you may take as much rampion away with you as you like, but on one condition only -- that you give me the child11 your wife will shortly bring into the world. All shall go well with it, and I will look after it like a mother."12

The man in his terror agreed13 to everything she asked, and as soon as the child was born the Witch appeared, and having given it the name of Rapunzel,14 which is the same as rampion, she carried it off with her.

Rapunzel was the most beautiful child15 under the sun. When she was twelve years old16 the Witch shut her up in a tower,17 in the middle of a great wood,18 and the tower had neither stairs nor doors,19 only high up at the very top a small window.20 When the old Witch wanted to get in she stood underneath and called out：

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,

Let down your golden hair,"21

for Rapunzel had wonderful long hair,22 and it was as

fine as spun gold.23 Whenever she heard the Witch's voice she unloosed her plaits,24 and let her hair fall down out of the window about twenty yards25 below, and the old Witch climbed up by it.

After they had lived like this for a few years,26 it happened one day that a Prince27 was riding through the wood and passed by the tower. As he drew near it he heard someone singing28 so sweetly that he stood still spell-bound, and listened. It was Rapunzel in her loneliness trying to while away the time by letting her sweet voice ring out into the wood. The Prince longed to see the owner of the voice, but he sought in vain for a door in the tower. He rode home, but he was so haunted by the song he had heard that he returned every day29 to the wood and listened. One day, when he was standing thus behind a tree, he saw the old Witch approach and heard her call out：

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,

Let down your golden hair."

Then Rapunzel let down her plaits, and the Witch climbed up by them.

"So that's the staircase, is it?" said the Prince. "Then I too will climb it and try my luck."

So on the following day, at dusk, he went to the foot of the tower and cried：

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,

Let down your golden hair,"

and as soon as she had let it down the Prince climbed up.30

At first Rapunzel was terribly frightened31 when a man came in, for she had never seen one before; but the Prince spoke to her so kindly,32 and told her at once that his heart had been so touched by her singing, that he felt he should know no peace of mind till he had seen her.

Very soon Rapunzel forgot her fear, and when he asked her to marry him33 she consented at once.34 "For," she thought, "he is young and handsome, and I'll certainly be happier with him than with the old Witch."35 So she put her hand in his and said：

"Yes, I will gladly go with you, only how am I to get down out of the tower? Every time you come to see me you must bring a skein of silk with you, and I will make a ladder of them, and when it is finished I will climb down by it,36 and you will take me away on your horse."

They arranged that till the ladder was ready, he was to come to her every evening, because the old woman was with her during the day. The old Witch, of course, knew nothing of what was going on, till one day Rapunzel, not thinking37 of what she was about, turned to the Witch and said：

"How is it, good mother, that you are so much harder to pull up than the young Prince?38 He is always with me in a moment."

"Oh! you wicked child,"39 cried the Witch. "What is this I hear? I thought I had hidden you safely from the whole

world,40 and in spite of it you have managed to deceive me."41

In her wrath she seized Rapunzel's beautiful hair, wound it round and round her left hand,42 and then grasping a pair of scissors in her right, snip snap, off it came, and the beautiful plaits lay on the ground. And, worse than this, she was so hard-hearted that she took Rapunzel to a lonely desert place,43 and there left her to live in loneliness and misery.44

But on the evening of the day in which she had driven poor Rapunzel away, the Witch fastened the plaits on to a hook in the window, and when the Prince came and called out：

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,

Let down your golden hair,"

she let them down, and the Prince climbed up as usual, but instead of his beloved Rapunzel he found the old Witch, who fixed her evil,45 glittering eyes on him, and cried mockingly：

"Ah, ah! you thought to find your lady love, but the pretty bird46 has flown and its song is dumb; the cat47 caught it, and will scratch out your eyes too. Rapunzel is lost to you for ever -- you will never see her more."

The Prince was beside himself with grief, and in his despair he jumped48 right down from the tower, and, though he escaped with his life, the thorns among which he fell pierced his eyes out.49 Then he wandered, blind and miserable, through the wood, eating nothing but roots and berries, and

weeping and lamenting the loss of his lovely bride.50 So he wandered about for some years,51 as wretched and unhappy as he could well be, and at last he came to the desert place where Rapunzel was living. Of a sudden he heard a voice which seemed strangely familiar to him. He walked eagerly in the direction of the sound, and when he was quite close, Rapunzel recognised him and fell on his neck and wept. But two of her tears touched his eyes,52 and in a moment they became quite clear again, and he saw53 as well as he had ever done. Then he led her to his kingdom, where they were received and welcomed with great joy, and they lived happily ever after.54

经典童话故事--豌豆公主(双语版)

经典童话故事豌豆公主（双语版） There was once a Prince who wished to marry a Princess；but then she must be a real Princess. He travelled all over the world in hopes of finding such a lady；but there was always something wrong. Princesses he found in plenty; but whether they were real Princesses it was impossible for him to decide, for now one thing, now another, seemed to him not quite right about the ladies. At last he returned to his palace quite cast down，because he wished so much to have a real Princess for his wife. 从前有一位王子，他想找一位公主结婚，但她必须是一位真正的公主。他走遍了全世界，想要寻到这样的一位公主。可是无论他到什么地方，他总是碰到一些障碍。公主倒有的是，不过他没有办法断定她们究竟是不是真正的公主。她们总是有些地方不大对头。结果，他只好回家来，心中很不快活，因为他是那么渴望着得到一位真正的公主。 One evening a fearful tempest arose, it thundered and lightened, and the rain poured down from the sky in torrents: besides, it was as dark as pitch. All at once there was heard a violent knocking at the door, and the old King，he Prince's father, went out himself to open it. 有一天晚上，忽然起了一阵可怕的暴风雨。天空在掣电，在打雷，在下着大雨。这真有点使人害怕！” 这时，有人在敲门，老国王就走过去开门。 It was a Princess who was standing outside the door. What with the rain and the wind，she was in a sad condition: the water trickled down from her hair, and her clothes clung to her body. She said she was a real Princess. 站在城外的是一位公主。可是，天哪！经过了风吹雨打之后，她的样子是多么难看啊！水沿着她的头发和衣服向下面流，流进鞋尖，又从脚跟流出来。她说她是一个真正的公主。 "Ah! we shall soon see that!" thought the old Queen-mother; however, she said not a word of what she was going to do; but went quietly into the bedroom, took all the bed-clothes off the bed, and put three little peas on the bedstead. She then laid twenty mattresses one upon another over the three peas, and put twenty feather beds over the mattresses. Upon this bed the Princess was to pass the night. “是的，这点我们马上就可以考查出来。”老皇后心里想，可是她什么也没说。她走进卧房，把所有的被褥都搬开，在床榻上放了一粒豌豆。于是她取出二十床垫子，把它们压在豌豆上。随后，她又在这些垫子上放了二十床鸭绒被。这位公主夜里就睡在这些东西上面。 The next morning she was asked how she had slept. "Oh, very badly indeed!" she replied. "I have scarcely closed my eyes the whole night through. I do not know what was in my bed, but I had something hard under me, and am all over black and blue. It has hurt me so much!" 早晨大家问她昨晚睡得怎样。“啊，不舒服极了！”公主说，“我差不多整夜没合上眼！天晓得我床上有件什么东西？我睡到一块很硬的东西上面，弄得我全身发青发紫，这真怕人！”Now it was plain that the lady must be a real Princess, since she had been able to feel the three little peas through the twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. None but a real Princess could have had such a delicate sense of feeling. 现在大家就看出来了。她是一位真正的公主，因为压在这二十床垫子和二十床鸭绒被下面的一粒豌豆，她居然还能感觉得出来。除了真正的公主以外，任何人都不会有这么嫩的皮肤的。The Prince accordingly made her his wife；being now convinced that he had found a real Princess. The three peas were however put into the cabinet of curiosities, where they are still to be seen, provided they are not lost. 因此那位王子就选她为妻子了，因为现在他知道他得到了一位真正的公主。这粒豌豆因此也就被送进了博物馆，如果没有人把它拿走的话，人们现在还可以在那儿看到它呢。

The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city." The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid. After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid." 【译文】 城里老鼠和乡下老鼠 从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。” 乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。 过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。” 英语小故事：Greece Myth -Dionysus
