　　The Ugly Duckling

　　醜小鴨

　　One evening, the sun was just setting in with true splendor when a flock of beautiful large birds appeared out of the bushes. The duckling had never seen anything so beautiful.They were dazzlingly white with long waving necks. They were swans and uttering a peculiar cry. They spread out their magnificent broad wings and flew away from the cold regions toward warmer lands and open seas.

　　一天晚上，太陽正在下山，夕陽輝煌絢爛，一群漂亮的大鳥灌術叢中飛過來。醜小鴨從未看到過如此美麗的東西，他們長著彎曲的長頸，羽毛自得耀眼。他們是天鵝，發出一種奇特的叫聲。他們展開美麗的寬闊的翅膀，離開寒冷的地區，向溫暖的陸地和廣闊的海洋飛去。

　　They mounted so high, so very high, and the ugly little duckling became strangely uneasy. He circled around and around in the water like a wheel, craning his neck out into the air after them. Then he uttered the shriek so piercing and so strange that he was quite frightened by himself. Oh, he could not forget those beautiful birds, those happy birds.And

　　as soon as they were out of sight, he ducked right down to the bottom and when he came up again, he was quite beside himself. He did not know what the birds were or where'd they flew. But all the same, he was more drawn towards them than he had ever been by any creatures before. He did not envy them in the least.e How could it occur to him even to

　　wish to be such a remarkable beauty'? How thankful he would be if only the ducks would have tolerated him among them, poor ugly creature.

　　他們飛得那麼高，那麼高遠，醜小鴨變得莫名地不安。他像輪子一樣在水面上轉著圈，跟他們一樣把脖子伸到空中。然後，他發出一聲尖叫，聲音如此清澈，如此陌生，他被自己嚇了一大跳。哦，他忘不了那些美麗的鳥兒，那些快樂的鳥兒。等他們在視野中消失，他迅速俯衝到水底，當他再探出水面的時候，他感到異常地激動。他不知道那些是什麼鳥，或者他們要飛向哪裡。但是，他深深地被他們吸引，這種吸引力超過了他以前見過的任何生物。他一點也不嫉妒他們。他甚至希望自己變得那樣美麗，他怎麼莫名其妙地會有這種想法呢?只要鴨子們會容忍他，接受他，他就感激不盡了，可憐的醜東西。

　　Early in the morning, a peasant came along and saw him. he went out onto the ice and hammered a hole in it with his heavy wooden shoe, and carried the duckling home to his wife. There, it soon revived. The children wanted to play with it. But the duckling thought they were going to ill use him and rushed in and he frightened to the milk-pan, and the milk spurted out all over the room. The woman shrieked and threw up her hands. Then it flew to the butter-cask and down into the meal-tub and out again. Oh, just imagine what it looked like by this time. The woman screamed and tried to hit it with the tongs, and the children tumbled over one another in trying to catch it, and they screamed with laughter.

　　清晨，一個農民走過來看見了他，他走到冰面上，用厚重的木鞋在冰面上砸了一個洞，把小鴨子帶回家給他的妻子。在那裡，醜小鴨很快甦醒了。孩子們想和他玩耍，但他以為他們要傷害自己，惶恐不已，衝進了牛奶盤裡，牛奶濺得滿屋子都是。女主人尖叫著，把她的手高高舉起。之後小鴨飛進了黃油罐和麵粉桶，又躥了出來。噢，想象一下這時他的模樣吧。女主人驚叫著，試圖用鉗子打他，孩子們想捉住他，結果絆倒在一起，他們大笑著，大叫著。

　　By good luck, the door stood open and the duckling flew out among the bushes and the new fallen snow. And it lay there, extremely exhausted, but it would be too sad to mention all the privation he had to go through during that hard winter. When the sun began to shine warmly again, the duckling was in a marsh, lying among the rushes. The birds were singing, and the beautiful spring had come. Then all at once, he raised his wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before and bore him off.Before he knew where he was, he found himself in a large garden with the apple trees in full blossom. And the air was scented with lilacs, the long branches of which overhung the shores.Oh, the spring freshness was so pleasant. Just in front of him, he saw three beautiful white swans advancing towards him from a thicket. With rustling feathers, they swam lightly over the water. The duckling recognized the majestic birds, and he was overcome by a strange melancholy.

　　很幸運，門是開著的，小鴨飛出去躥進了灌木叢，又一場雪花飄落。他躺在那裡，筋疲力盡，提起這個嚴冬裡他所經歷的一切困苦，他傷心不已。當太陽又開始溫暖地照耀，小鴨在一片沼澤中，躺在蘆葦裡。鳥兒在歌唱，美麗的春天已經來了。忽然，他高舉起翅膀，用盡前所未有的力氣使勁扇動著，他飛起來了。在他知道身在何處之前，他發現自己正在一個大花園裡，蘋果樹開滿了花。空氣中瀰漫著紫丁花的香味，長長的枝條垂落在湖岸邊。哦，春天的氣息如此沁人心脾。就在他的面前，他看到三隻美麗的白天鵝從灌木叢中向他游來。他們輕輕地在水中滑行，羽毛沙沙作響。小鴨認出了這些莊嚴的鳥兒，他被一種奇怪的憂鬱所籠罩。

　　"I will fly to them, the royal birds, and they will hack me to pieces because I who am so ugly venture to approach them. But it won't matter." So he flew into the water and swam towards the stately swans. They saw him and darted toward him with ruffled feathers."Kill me ,oh, kill me." said the poor creature. And bowing his head towards the water, he awaited his death. But what did he see? Reflected in the water, he saw below him his own images, but he was no longer an ugly clumsy dark gray bird.He was himself, a swan.

　　“我要向他們飛去，高貴的鳥兒，他們將把我劈成碎片，因為我這麼醜，不敢接近他們。但這不要緊。”於是他飛入水中，向莊嚴的天鵝游去。他們看到他，豎起羽毛，飛快地朝他游來。“殺了我，哦，殺了我。”可憐的傢伙說道。他把頭埋向水面，等待著死亡。但是他看見了什麼?他看到了水中倒映著的自己的模樣，但是他不再是一隻醜陋的、笨拙的灰色的鳥兒。他自己是一隻——天鵝。

　　Death of the Wicked Witch of the East

　　邪惡的東方女巫之死

　　She was awakened by a shock, so sudden and severe that if Dorothy had not been lying on the soft bed she might have been hurt. As it was, the jar made her catch her breath and wonder what had happened; and dog Toto put his cold little nose into her face and whined sadly. Dorothy sat up and noticed that the house was not moving; nor was it dark, for the bright sunshine came in at the window, flooding the little room. She sprang from her bed and with Toto at her heels ran and opened the door.

　　多蘿茜被一陣突如比來的劇烈的震動驚醒，如果她沒有躺在柔軟的床上，她可能會受傷的。震動使她屏住呼吸，尋思著發生的事;小狗託託把它冰冷的小鼻子放到她的臉上，悽慘地哀叫著。多蘿茜坐起來，發現房子不動了，天也不黑了，明亮的陽光從視窗照進來，照滿了小屋。她從床上一躍而起，跑過去開門，託託跟在她腳邊。

　　The little girl gave a cry of amazement and looked about her, her eyes growing bigger and bigger at the wonderful sights she saw.

　　女孩驚訝地叫了起來，她環顧四周，看到一幕幕奇特的景象，眼睛睜得越來越大。

　　The cyclone had set the house down very gently in the midst of a country of great beauty. There were lovely patches of greensward all about, with stately trees bearing rich fruits. Banks of attractive flowers were on every hand, and birds with rare and brilliant plumage sang and fluttered in the trees and bushes. A little way off was a small brook, rushing and sparkling along between green banks, and murmuring in a voice very grateful to a little girl who had lived so long on the dry, gray prairies.

　　旋風極為輕盈地把房子降落在一個風景秀麗的國家的中央。到處是一塊一塊的綠草地，莊嚴的樹木結著豐饒甜美的果實。斜坡上遍佈若迷人的鮮花，鳥兒們披著軍見的亮麗的羽毛.在樹木和灌木叢間歌唱飛舞。不遠處是一條小溪，沿著綠色的堤岸奔流不息，熠熠發光，發出潺潺的流水聲，這對於一個在乾旱的灰色草原上住了很久的小女孩來說實在太令人愉快了。

　　While she stood looking eagerly at the strange and beautiful sights, she noticed coming toward her a group of the queerest people she had ever seen. They were not as big as the grown folk she had always been used to; but neither were they very small. In fact,they seemed about as tall as Dorothy, who was a well-grown child for her age, although they were, so far as looks go, many years older.

　　當她站在那裡，急切地注視著這些奇特美麗的景觀時，她注意到一群人向她走來，這是她見過的最奇異的人。他們沒有她看慣了的成人那麼高大，但他們也並不是非常矮小。事實上，他們似乎和多蘿茜一樣高，按照年齡來講，多蘿茜算是一個長得很高的孩子。從外貌來看，這群人比她大許多。

　　Three were men and one a woman, and all were oddly dressed. They wore round hats that rose to a small point a foot above their heads, with little bells around the brims that tinkled sweetly as they moved. The hats of the men were blue; the little woman's hat was white, and she wore a white gown that hung in pleats from her shoulders. Over it were sprinkled little stars that glistened in the sun like diamonds. The men were dressed in blue,of the same shade as their hats, and wore well-polished boots. The men, Dorothy thought, were about as old as Uncle Henry, for two of them had beards. But the little woman was doubtless much older. Her face was covered with wrinkles, her hair was nearly white, and she walked rather stiffly.

　　他們當中有三名男子和一名婦女，全都穿著古怪。他們戴著圓帽子，帽子離頭有一英尺高，中間聳起一個小小的尖頂，帽簷四周拄著小鈴檔，他們一動，鈴檔就發出悅耳的叮鈴聲。男人們的帽子是藍色的，女人的帽子一呈白色，她穿著一件帶褶的白色袍子，從肩膀上垂下來，上面閃耀著小星星，在陽光下像鑽石般耀眼。男人們身著藍色衣裳，色調和帽了一致，腳穿擦得亮閃閃的靴子。多蘿茜想，他們和亨利叔叔年紀差不多，因為其中兩個長著鬍鬚。但婦人無疑就大多了，她滿臉皺紋，頭髮幾乎全白，走起路來相當僵硬。

　　When these people drew near the house where Dorothy was standing in the doorway,

　　they paused and whispered among themselves, as if afraid to come farther. But the little old

　　woman walked up to Dorothy, made a low bow and said, in a sweet voice:

　　當這些人走近屋子時，多蘿茜正站在門口，他們停下來互相低語，好像不敢再向前邁進。不過瘦小的老婦人走到多蘿茜面前，深深地鞠了一躬，用甜美的聲音說：

　　"You are welcome, most noble Sorceress, to the land of Munchkins. We are so grateful to you for having killed the Wicked Witch of the East, and for setting our people free from bondage."

　　“歡迎你，最高貴的魔法師，來到芒奇金人的國度。我們很感激你殺死了邪惡的東方女巫，感謝你把我們的人民從奴役中解放出來。”

　　Dorothy listened to this speech with wonder. What could the little woman possibly mean by calling her a sorceress, and saying she had killed the Wicked Witch of the East?Dorothy was an innocent, harmless little girl, who had been carried by a cyclone many miles from home; and she had never killed anything in all her life.

　　多蘿茜驚訝地聽著這番話。老婦人叫她女巫，還說她殺死了東方壞女巫，這可能意味著什麼呢?多蘿茜是個無辜的、不會造成任何傷害的小女孩，從許多英里之外的地方被龍捲風帶到這裡，而且她從來沒有殺害過任何事物。

　　But the little woman evidently expected her to answer; so Dorothy said, with hesitation,"You are very kind, but there must be some mistake. I have not killed anything."

　　但婦人顯然期待著她回答，於是多蘿茜猶豫地說:“你太好了，但一定是有些錯誤，我沒有殺過任何東西。”

　　"Your house did, anyway," replied the little old woman, with a laugh, "and that is the same thing. See!" she continued, pointing to the corner of the house. "Them are her two feet, still sticking out from under a block of wood."

　　“不管怎樣，你的房子殺死了東方女巫”，老婦人笑著答道，“這是一回事。你瞧!”她繼續說著，指著屋子的一角。“她的兩隻腳還伸在木板外呢。”

　　Dorothy looked, and gave a little cry of fright.There, indeed, just under the corner of the great beam the house rested on, two feet were sticking out, shod in silver ,shoes with pointed toes.

　　多蘿茜看，驚叫了一聲。確實，就在屋了一坐落的巨大橫樑的角上，兩隻腳伸了出來，穿著銀色尖頭的鞋子。
