The Beautiful Strangers

美丽的陌生人

The Barth children could not recognize each other . ” Cy?” Panther asked, reaching out to a young boy with dark, wavy hair and clear blue eyes. ” Panther?” Cy said. He touched a long wavy lock of her golden hair. Panther’s hair was normally straight brown and quite plain.

巴特的孩子们认不出彼此。 “塞伊？”黑豹伸手向一个黑乎乎的小男孩问道，波浪形的头发和清澈的蓝色眼睛。 “黑豹？”赛伊说。 他摸了摸她金色的长卷发。 黑豹的头发通常是直棕色的，而且很普通。

” Does anyone have a mirror?” asked Jane . ” What do I look like?” Jane was absolutely beautiful. She had short red hair with little curls around her face. Her skin was rosy, and she had bright, shining green eyes. ” I don’t know why anyone wants to be beautiful, ” complained Bobby,

“有人有镜子吗？”简问。 “我长什么样？”简非常漂亮。 她有一头红色短发，脸上有小卷发。 她的皮肤是玫瑰色的，有一双明亮的绿色眼睛。 “我不知道为什么有人想变得美丽，”鲍比抱怨道，

” This was your idea, wasn’t it, Panther?” ” Yes, I wished it, ” admitted Panther, ” but I’m glad to be beautiful for once. ” ” Good, lovely, and all that, ” Huey interrupted . ” Now, be off w ith you . Remember that your wish ends at sunset. ” Huey disappeared back into his shell . Cy carefully lowered him back down the well.

“这是你的主意，不是吗，黑豹？” “是的，我希望如此，”黑豹承认， “但我很高兴能美丽一次。” “很好，很可爱，还有这一切。 “现在，跟你走吧。记住，你的愿望在日落时结束。” 休伊消失在他的壳里。 赛伊小心地把他放回井里。

The children walked into town . Many people turned to stare at them. ” I must be beautiful because everyone is looking at me, ” thought Panther. Just then, she recognized Aunt Martha’s neighbor. ” Look! There’s Mr. Becker, ” she said. Mr. Becker was walking his dog, Silver. ” Hello, Mr. Becker! Hello, Silver! ”

孩子们走进了城里。 许多人转过身来盯着他们。 “我一定很漂亮，因为每个人都在看着我，”黑豹想。 就在这时，她认出了玛莎阿姨的邻居。 “看这是贝克尔先生，”她说。 贝克尔先生在遛狗，西尔弗。 “你好，贝克先生！你好，西尔弗！”

Panther called out cheerfully. Panther, being an animal lover, had gottten to know Silver as soon as they had arrived at Aunt Martha’s . Now, however, neither Mr. Becker nor Silver seemed to recognize her. ” Woof! Woof! ” Silver barked angrily. ” What’s the matter, Silver? It’s me, Panther! ” she said.

黑豹高兴地喊道。 黑豹，作为一个动物爱好者， 他们一到玛莎姨妈家就认识了西尔弗。 然而，现在贝克尔先生和西尔弗先生似乎都没认出她来。 “汪汪哇！”西尔弗愤怒地叫道。 “怎么了，西尔弗？是我，黑豹！”她说。
