The Ugly Duckling
《丑小鸭》
Once upon a time, Mother Duck had some ducklings. The ducklings grew and grew, but one duckling grew too big.
很久很久以前,鸭妈妈有好几只鸭宝宝。小鸭子们长呀长呀, 可有一只小鸭子长得实在太大了。
Mother Duck said, Go away, you are too big and too ugly, you do not belong here. Poor ugly duckling, he was so sad. He went to see Hen.
鸭妈妈说: “走开,你又大又丑,不属于这儿。” 可怜的丑小鸭伤心极了,他动身去找母鸡。
Hen said, Go away, you're too big and too ugly, you do not belong here. Poor ugly duckling, he was so, so sad. He went to see Cat.
母鸡说:“走开,你又大又丑,不属于这儿。” 可怜的丑小鸭难过极了,他又动身去找小猫。
Cat said, Go away, you are too big and too ugly, you do not belong here. Poor ugly duckling, he was so very sad, he did not belong anywhere.
小猫说:“走开,你又大又丑,不属于这儿。” 可怜的丑小鸭万分难过,他根本没有容身之处。
But then Ugly Duckling saw Swan. He said, I do not belong anywhere. I am too big and too ugly. Swan said, you are not too big. You are not ugly.
就在这时,丑小鸭看到了天鹅。 他说:“我哪里都不属于。” “我又大又丑。” 天鹅说:“你才不大呢。” “你一点也不丑。”
