The Nutcracker 2
胡桃夹子2
Fritz and Mary looked at the nutcracker in amazement. They listened eagerly as their godfather continued the tale. “ Inside the princess’ nursery were the king, queen, the nutcracker, and a small crowd of people. And, of course, there was the Mouse Queen, who had just tripped the nutcracker. The princess was beautiful again, but the once-handsome nutcracker was now ugly. “ The Mouse Queen lay on the nursery floor.
弗里茨和玛丽惊讶地看着胡桃夹子。 他们热切地听着教父继续讲故事。 “公主的儿童房里有国王、王后、胡桃夹子和一小群人。 当然,还有老鼠皇后,她刚刚被胡桃夹子绊倒了。 公主又变美了,但曾经英俊的胡桃夹子现在变丑了。 “老鼠皇后躺在儿童房的地板上。
As she slowly died, she muttered, ‘I will have my revenge. Even though I may die, my son will never forget. ’ But everyone ignored her and rejoiced that the princess was beautiful again. “ Many years passed. The nutcracker lived in the palace and was a good and kind young man. Before long it was time for the princess to get married. The king reminded her that she must marry the nutcracker, but she refused. “ ‘He is too ugly, ’ she protested.
当她慢慢死去时,她喃喃自语:“我会报仇的。尽管我可能会死,但我的儿子永远不会忘记。” 但每个人都忽略了她,并为公主再次美丽而高兴。 “很多年过去了。胡桃夹子住在宫殿里,是一个善良善良的年轻人。 不久,公主就该结婚了。国王提醒她必须嫁给胡桃夹子,但她拒绝了。 “‘他太丑了,’她抗议道。
“ The king and queen could not change the princess’ mind, so they asked the nutcracker to leave the palace. Reluctantly he agreed and left. ” “ Where is the nutcracker man now?” Marie asked. “ He’s right here, ” said Godfather. The children gasped and inspected the nutcracker more closely. “ I don’t think he’s ugly; he just looks different. There’s nothing wrong with that, ” said Marie.
“国王和王后无法改变公主的想法,所以他们要求胡桃夹子离开宫殿。他勉强地答应了,然后离开了。” “胡桃夹子人现在在哪里?”玛丽问。 “他就在这里,”教父说。孩子们喘着粗气,更仔细地观察着胡桃夹子。 玛丽说:“我不认为他长得丑;他只是看起来不一样。这并没什么错。”。
“ I think the princess worried too much about looks. She should remember that people can be beautiful on the inside. ” “ You’re a good girl, Marie, ” said her godfather. “ What happened to the mice?” asked Fritz. “ The Mouse Queen said her son would take his revenge. ” “ Oh, he did, ” said their godfather. “ But that’s a story for another night. It’s late and you must go to bed now. Tomorrow’s a big day. It’s Christmas! ”
“我觉得公主太担心外表了。她应该记住,人的内在可以很美。” “你是个好女孩,玛丽,”她的教父说。 “老鼠怎么了?”弗里茨问道。“老鼠女王说她的儿子会报仇。” “哦,是的,”他们的教父说。 “但这是另一个晚上的故事。已经很晚了,你现在必须睡觉了。明天是个大日子。是圣诞节!”
“ I’m not tired, ” said Fritz, “ and I can’t sleep until I know the story’s ending. ” “ I’ll tell you this, ” said their godfather in a whisper. “ The Mouse King and the nutcracker fought in front of the Christmas tree, and the nutcracker won. Now go to bed, my dears. ” Marie was tired, but she was glad the nutcracker had defeated the Mouse King.
“我不累,”弗里茨说,“要直到我知道故事的结局,我才能入睡。” “我告诉你,”他们的教父低声说道。 “老鼠大王和胡桃夹子在圣诞树前打架,胡桃夹子赢了。现在睡觉吧,亲爱的。” 玛丽很累,但她很高兴胡桃夹子打败了老鼠大王。
