《睡美人》

Chapter 1 Good News Many years ago, a king and queen lived in a magical castle. They had everything they could want, except...

第一章 好消息 很久很久以前，一对国王和王后住在一座魔法城堡里。 他们拥有想要的一切，除了……

A baby. Year after year, the queen stitched and sewed tiny clothes, and the king made toys in his palace workshop. But still, there was no baby. Then, one day, while the queen sat knitting by the lake, a bright green frog hopped, skipped, and jumped right onto her lap.

一个孩子。年复一年，王后缝制了好多小小的衣服，国王也 在他的王室工坊里做玩具。可他们还是没能迎来孩子。 后来有一天，王后正坐在湖边织东西，一只亮绿色的青蛙蹦啊跳啊， 一下跳到了她的腿上。

Don't be sad, your majesty," said the frog. You are going to have a baby this year. What? And with that she bowed and leaped back into the lake. True to the frog's words, the queen gave birth to a lovely baby girl. I shall call her Rose, she declared happily.

"别难过，陛下。"青蛙说。 今年你就会有一个小宝宝啦。 什么？ 说完她鞠了一躬，跳回了湖里。 正如青蛙说的那样，王后生下了一个可爱的小公主。 我要给她取名叫罗丝，她开心地宣布。

The king was so pleased he planned it for a feast to celebrate. I shall invite every prince and princess in the land, he decided and asked seven fairies to be Rose Fairy God Mothers. The king sent the invitations by bluebird post and everyone agreed to come. Servants scrubbed and cleaned until the castle gleamed. There had never been a party like this.

国王高兴极了，打算办一场盛宴庆祝。 我要邀请全国所有的王子和公主，他决定道，还邀请了七位仙女 做罗丝的仙女教母。 国王派蓝鸟送出去了请柬，所有人都答应会来。 仆人们擦了又擦，把城堡打扫得闪闪发亮。 从来没有过这么盛大的宴会。

Chapter 2. Seven Wishes. On the day of the feast, crowds came to cheer and watched the fast arrive. The men wore cloaks of finest velvet and women shimmered in silk.

第二章 七个愿望。宴会当天，人群涌来欢呼，看着宾客们 抵达。男士们穿着最精致的天鹅绒斗篷，女士们身着丝裙闪闪发光。
