Hansel & Gretel

Hensou and Grito

汉塞尔和格蕾特

Chapter 1. Hunger in the Forest Hansel and Gretel heard their stepmother shout, DINNER! and came running. It was only a slice of bread. But they were starving.

第一章 森林里的饥荒 汉塞尔和格蕾特听到继母大喊： 开饭啦！ 连忙跑了过来。 饭只有一片面包。 可他俩都饿坏了。

Their stepmother looked even more grumpy than usual. What do you accept? She snapped with so little money. All we can afford is bread. Here we go again. The children's father sighed. It's not my fault. No one buys wood anymore. He said. What with electric fires and plastic furniture? Why did I marry a poor woodcutter? Hensel and Gretel finished the last crumbs on their plates and went to their room.

继母看起来比平时还要暴躁。 不然你们还想怎么样？ 她没好气地说，家里钱就这么点。 我们只买得起面包。 又来了又来了。 孩子们的爸爸叹了口气。 这不是我的错，现在没人买木柴了。 他说道。 都怪电暖炉和塑料家具对不对？ 我当初怎么就嫁给了一个穷樵夫啊？ 汉塞尔和格蕾特吃光了盘子里最后一点面包屑，就回自己房间了。

Poor dad !" yarned Hansel. Always in trouble! He blew out the candle, and they tried to sleep. Suddenly, What's that noise? asked Gretel in a panic. Sorry! said Hansel. It's mine to me. I was thinking of melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows. Oh, don't! Gretel begged. I'm so hungry. I can't sleep. As they listened to their Thomas rumbled, they heard more nagging downstairs.

“爸爸好可怜啊！”汉塞尔嘟囔道。 他老是挨骂！ 他吹灭蜡烛，俩人试着入睡。 突然， “什么声音？”格蕾特慌慌张张地问。 “抱歉！”汉塞尔说，“是我的肚子叫啦，我刚刚在想融化的巧克力和烤棉花糖呢。” “哎呀别说了！”格蕾特央求道，“我好饿，根本睡不着。” 他俩正听着肚子咕咕叫，又听见楼下传来更多抱怨声。

The problem is," there's that mother was saying, "'There's just not enough food for four of us. The children will have to go." "'What?' cried the poor woodcutter. "'How has it come to this?' "'Do you have a better idea?' she sneered. The woodcutter fell silent. "'Tomorrow we'll take Hansel and Gretel deep into the forest,' his wife continued. "'And leave them there.' "'But,' began the woodcutter, sounding very sad. "'But what? You never know. Someone may find them and take them home.'

“问题是，”继母正在说， “我们的粮食不够四个人吃，孩子们必须走。” “什么？”可怜的樵夫叫道。 “怎么会走到这一步啊？” “你有更好的办法吗？”她讥笑道。 樵夫沉默了。 “明天我们带汉塞尔和格蕾特到森林深处去，”他的妻子接着说， “然后把他们留在那儿。” “可是，”樵夫开口道，声音听起来非常难过。 “可是什么呀？说不定呢，说不定有人会找到他们，带他们回家的。”

Chapter 2. Pable Path That night, Grito had nightmares about monsters in the woods. I am scared, she said from under the covers. What are we going to do? Don't worry, said Hansel who was lying wide awake. I have an idea. Quietly, he tapped out outside. White pables glimmered in the moonlight. He collected as many as he could and stuffed them into his pockets.

第二章 鹅卵石小路 那天晚上，格蕾特做了噩梦，梦里全是森林里的怪物。 “我好怕。”她缩在被子里说。 我们该怎么办呀？ “别担心。”汉塞尔说，他睁着眼睛躺着，一点都没睡。 我有办法。 他轻手轻脚地溜到了外面。 白色的鹅卵石在月光下闪闪发亮。 他尽可能多捡了些，把口袋塞得满满的。
