醜小鴨童話英語故事版本1
The Ugly Duckling.
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.
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. How could it occur to him even to wish to be such a marvelous beauty? He wouldn’t be thankful if only the ducks would have tolerated him among them,the poor ugly creature.
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.
By good luck,the door stood open and the duckling flew out among the bushes and the new fallen snow. And it lay there,thoroughly exhausted,but it would be too sad to mention all the privation and misery 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 larks were singing,and the beautiful spring had come. Then all at once,it raised its wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before and bore him off vigorously. Before he knew where he was,he found himself in a large garden with the apple trees were in full blossom. And the air was scentedly with lilacs,the long branches of which overhung the indented shores of the lake. Oh,the spring freshness was so delicious. 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.
“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. Better to be killed by them than be snacked up by the ducks,pecked by the hens,or spurned by the hen wife,or suffer so much misery in the winter.” 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 transparent water,he saw below him his own image,but he was no longer a clumsy dark gray bird,ugly and ungainly. He was himself,a swan.
醜小鴨童話英語故事版本2
A mother duck was brooding on her eggs near the margin of a pond. A flock of lovely baby ducks was soon born, making sweet peeping sounds when the eggs were broken. But one egg remained unbroken. "It is strange. Why has this egg not broken?"
The mother duck continued her brooding. At last, the egg was broken and a baby duck was born. However that baby duck was very ugly compared to the other baby ducks.
The mother duck was worried, but still she took the baby ducks near the water and taught them how to swim. The ugly duckling also swam with his brothers and sisters, moving his legs eagerly. "It is lucky though. That baby swims well." Still his brothers pecked at the ugly duckling with their bills.
"How hideous this baby duck is. We don't want to see you. Go to a cat." His brothers gave a very hard time to the poor duckling. "Stop it, don't do that!" The mother duck sighed and said, "Ah! I wish that this baby could live happily at another place."
The baby duck heard what his mother said and dropped tears of sorrow saying, "Mom, I will leave. Good-bye." The ugly duckling left his nest beyond the pond.
When he entered the forest, other birds were frightened by the baby duck and ran away. "Why do they run away? Is it because I am so awful?" The baby duck became sadder and plodded along the field.
Near the water beside the field, two wild ducks were playing around. "Yah, what is that ugly duck? Let's make fun of him." The two wild ducks flew up in the air and threw stones at the baby duck.
"Bang! Bang!" At that time, a hunter shot his gun. The two wild ducks fell down dead to the ground. "Uh? What is this small bird?" The hunter took home the awkward little baby duck along with the two wild ducks.
"Dad, what is this poor-looking bird?" "I took it with me in order to give it to you, my son. It was trembling with fear in the water." The children gave a hard time to the baby duck by pulling its wings and tail.
"That hurts! Ow!" The baby duck spilled a jug of milk while running away from the cruel hands of the children. The dishes on the table were also broken. The angry hunter sent out the baby duck with a flourish of his broomstick. And so the after being cast out from the house of the hunter, the ugly duckling spent a long and cold winter alone.
Finally spring came. The baby duck had a good stretch and flew up in the air vigorously. "Uh! I am flying!"
Upon the lake, a flock of white and pretty swans were playing around while swimming. "They are indeed pretty birds." The baby duck became sad. "Those birds may not like me as I am so ugly."
The baby duck tried to run away from the group of beautiful swans. "Hi! Where are you going? Come and play around with us!" The baby duck approached the swans hesitatingly. At that moment, the baby duck saw his own appearance reflected to the lake. There was one more beautiful swan gliding gracefully across the water.
The ugly duckling who overcame all suffering had finally become a beautiful swan. And so he lived happily ever after.
