REVOLTING RHYMES

令人作呕的押韵

Cinderella I guess you think you know this story. You don't. The real one's much more gory. The phoney one, the one you know, Was cooked up years and years ago, And made to sound all soft and sappy Just to keep the children happy. Mind you, they got the first bit right, The bit where, in the dead of night, The Ugly Sisters, jewels and all, Departed for the Palace Ball, While darling little Cinderella Was locked up in a slimy cellar, Where rats who wanted things to eat, Began to nibble at her feet. She bellowed, 'Help!' and 'Let me out!' The Magic Fairy heard her shout. Appearing in a blaze of light, She said, 'My dear, are you all right?'

我猜你认为你知道这个故事。 你不。真实的要血腥得多。 假的那个,你知道的那个,是很多年前编出来的,听起来很柔软,很傻,只是为了让孩子们开心。 注意,他们说的第一点是对的,在夜深人静的时候,丑姐妹带着珠宝和所有的东西,去参加宫廷舞会,而可爱的小灰姑娘被关在一个粘糊糊的地窖里,老鼠们想要吃东西,开始啃她的脚。 她吼道:“救命!和“放我出去!”魔法仙女听到了她的呼喊。 她出现在一片火光中,说:“亲爱的,你没事吧?”

'All right?' cried Cindy. 'Can't you see 'I feel as rotten as can be!' She beat her fist against the wall, And shouted, 'Get me to the Ball! 'There is a Disco at the Palace! 'The rest have gone and I am jalous! 'I want a dress! I want a coach! 'And earrings and a diamond brooch! 'And silver slippers, two of those!

“对吧?辛迪叫道。“难道你看不出来吗?我感觉糟透了!”她用拳头捶着墙,喊道:“带我去舞会!”“宫殿里有迪斯科舞厅!”“其他人都走了,我真羡慕!”“我想要一条裙子!”我要教练!“还有耳环和钻石胸针!”“还有银拖鞋,两只!”

'And lovely nylon panty-hose! 'Done up like that I'll guarantee 'The handsome Prince will fall for me!' The Fairy said, 'Hang on a tick.' She gave her wand a mighty flick And quickly, in no time at all, Cindy was at the Palace Ball! It made the Ugly Sisters wince To see her dancing with the Prince. She held him very tight and pressed Herself against his manly chest. The Prince himself was turned to pulp, All he could do was gasp and gulp. Then midnight struck. She shouted, 'Heck! 'I've got to run to save my neck!' The Prince cried, 'No! Alas! Alack!'

“还有可爱的尼龙连裤袜!”“打扮成这样,我保证英俊的王子会爱上我的!”仙女说:“等一下。”她用力一挥魔杖,很快,很快,辛迪就来到了皇宫舞会!丑姐妹们看到她和王子跳舞都吓了一跳。 她紧紧地抱着他,把自己紧贴在他男子气概的胸膛上。 王子自己也变成了泥,他所能做的就是喘气和吞咽。 午夜钟声敲响了。她喊道:“见鬼!“我得跑,才能保住我的脖子!”王子喊道:“不!唉!呜呼!”

He grabbed her dress to hold her back. As Cindy shouted, 'Let me go!' The dress was ripped from head to toe. She ran out in her underwear, And lost one slipper on the stair. The Prince was on it like a dart, He pressed it to his pounding heart, 'The girl this slipper fits,' he cried, 'Tomorrow morn shall be my bride! 'I'll visit every house in town 'Until I've tracked the maiden down!' Then rather carelessly, I fear, He placed it on a crate of beer. At once, one of the Ugly Sisters (The one whose face was blotched with blisters) Sneaked up and grabbed the dainty shoe, And quickly flushed it down the loo.

他抓住她的衣服把她拉回来。 辛迪喊道:“放开我!”这件衣服从头到脚都撕破了。 她穿着内衣跑了出去,一只拖鞋掉在楼梯上了。 王子像飞镖一样紧紧抓住它,把它紧紧地贴在怦怦直跳的心上。“穿这只鞋最合适的女孩,”他叫道,“明天早上就是我的新娘!”我会拜访镇上的每户人家直到我找到那个少女然后,我担心他很不小心把它放在了一箱啤酒上。 丑姐妹中的一个(脸上满是水泡的那个)立刻溜了过来,抓起这只精致的鞋子,迅速把它冲进了厕所。

Then in its place she calmly put The slipper from her own left foot. Ah-ha, you see, the plot grows thicker, And Cindy's luck starts looking sicker. Next day, the Prince went charging down To knock on all the doors in town. In every house, the tension grew. Who was the owner of the shoe? The shoe was long and very wide. (A normal foot got lost inside.) Also it smelled a wee bit icky. (The owner's feet were hot and sticky.)

然后她平静地把自己左脚上的拖鞋放回原处。 啊哈,你看,情节越来越复杂,辛迪的运气开始变得越来越糟。 第二天,王子跑去敲遍了镇上所有的门。 每家每户的紧张气氛都在加剧。 这只鞋的主人是谁? 这只鞋又长又宽。 (一只正常的脚在里面迷路了。)而且它闻起来有点恶心。 (店主的脚又热又粘。)
