Chapter 3-3

The two children walked past the fallen body to the giant's head. It was as big as a small hill. His skin was as rugged and as rough as a pebbly beach. His beard was a forest of thick golden hair. The hair on his head was a jungle of curls. He had fallen with his head turned to one side, and he was smiling slightly as if he were having pleasant

两个孩子绕过倒下的巨人身体，走到他的脑袋旁边。 那颗头足足有小山坡那么大。 他的皮肤凹凸不平，粗糙得像布满鹅卵石的海滩。 他的胡须是一片浓密的金色毛发森林。 他头上的头发是一丛卷曲的丛林。 他倒下的时候头歪向一边，嘴角还带着淡淡的微笑，仿佛正在做一场甜美的

dreams. "What shall we do now?" Florizella asked Bennett. "Have you got another plan?" "Wait till he wakes up, I suppose," Bennett said. "I hope he won't have a headache," he added a little nervously. "I think he hit his head as he fell." "He can't eat us," Florizella said without thinking. Then she said, "Oh! I suppose he could." A small crowd of people of the Plain Green Plains had come running when they'd heard the great thunder of the falling giant. "Cut his throat, Princess Florizella!" someone shouted from the back of the crowd. "Before he wakes up." "Certainly not!" Florizella and Bennett both said at once. "He's eaten all our food and destroyed hundreds of houses," a woman cried. "He should be punished." "In the old days a true prince would have challenged him to single combat," a man said, looking at Bennett. "Those days are gone," Bennett said firmly.

梦。 “我们现在该怎么办？” 弗洛里泽拉问班纳特。 “你还有别的办法吗？” “我想，我们等他醒过来吧。”班纳特说。 “希望他别头疼。”他有点紧张地补充道。 “他摔倒的时候好像撞到脑袋了。” “他总不能吃了我们吧。”弗洛里泽拉想都没想就说。 紧接着她又说道：“哦！ 搞不好他还真会。” 青原平原上的一小群居民听到巨人倒下时那阵雷鸣般的巨响，都跑了过来。 “割断他的喉咙，弗洛里泽拉公主！” 有人在人群后面喊道。 “趁他还没醒的时候动手。” “绝对不行！” 弗洛里泽拉和班纳特立刻异口同声地说。 “他吃光了我们所有的粮食，还毁了好几百座房子。”一个女人哭喊道。 “他应该受到惩罚。” “要是在从前，真正的王子早就向他发起一对一的决斗了。”一个男人看着班纳特说道。 “那些老黄历早就过时了。”班纳特坚定地说。

"Anyway, we don't want to kill him– we just want to move him on somewhere else." The giant stirred slightly. Everyone in the crowd– especially the people who had talked very boldly about cutting his throat, or challenging him to single combat– rushed backwards and stayed out of reach. Only Florizella and Bennett waited where they were, right in front of the giant's face. Slowly the giant opened his huge blue eyes. "Hello," Florizella squeaked. Because she was scared, her voice came out too high. She tried again. "Hello!" she said, trying for a deep, comforting voice. This time she sounded like a cow mooing. "This is the land of the Seven Kingdoms," Bennett bellowed. "This is Her Royal Highness, Florizella, princess of this realm. I am Prince Bennett of the next-door kingdom, the Land of Deep Lakes." He bowed very politely, then he glanced back at Florizella. "She really is a princess," he added. "She looks like a princess when she is clean." Florizella scowled at Bennett. "I welcome you

“再说了，我们也不想杀他——我们只是想让他搬到别的地方去。” 巨人轻轻动了一下。 人群里的所有人——尤其是刚才还大着胆子喊要割他喉咙、要和他决斗的那些人——都猛地往后退，躲得远远的。 只有弗洛里泽拉和班纳特还站在原地，就正对着巨人的脸。 巨人慢慢睁开了他那双巨大的蓝眼睛。 “你好呀。”弗洛里泽拉尖着嗓子说。 她太害怕了，声音出来的时候尖得离谱。 她又试了一次。 “你好！” 她说，努力想发出低沉又让人安心的声音。 结果这次她听上去就像母牛在哞哞叫。 “这里是七王国的领地。”班纳特高声说道。 “这位是弗洛里泽拉殿下，是这片国土的公主。 我是邻国深湖之地的班纳特王子。” 他非常有礼貌地鞠了一躬，然后回头瞥了一眼弗洛里泽拉。 “她真的是公主哦。”他补充道。 “她干干净净的时候看起来可像公主了。” 弗洛里泽拉狠狠瞪了班纳特一眼。 “我欢迎你

to my country," she said politely to the giant. "Er… will you be staying long?" The giant's blue eyes at once filled with great round pools of tears. "Unh-hunh," he bellowed. He was crying with great loud sobs, so noisy that they were like thunderclaps roaring one after another. Florizella and Bennett were bowled over by the blast of his grief. They clung to each other on the ground while the onion-scented gale nearly blew them away. Samson tried to rush to Florizella's side, but was blown over and over until he got stuck in a bush. "Go up!" Bennett yelled in Florizella's ear. "Up! Away from his mouth!" The two of them, clinging to bushes and grass, crawled away from the giant's mouth towards his nose. "Unh-hunh! Unh-hunh! Unh-hunh!" The giant was sobbing now as if he would never stop. Great fat, round tears as big as boulders rained down on Florizella and Bennett,

来到我的国家。”她礼貌地对巨人说。 “呃……你打算在这里待很久吗？” 巨人的蓝眼睛里立刻蓄满了大大的圆泪珠。 “呜——呜——”他低吼道。 他大声哭着，抽噎声特别响，就像雷声一个接一个轰隆隆地响。 弗洛里泽拉和班纳特被他悲伤的气流直接掀翻在地。 他们在地上紧紧抱在一起，那股带着洋葱味的大风差点把他们吹走。 参孙想要冲到弗洛里泽拉身边，却被吹得滚了一圈又一圈，最后卡在了灌木丛里。 “往高处走！” 班纳特对着弗洛里泽拉的耳朵大喊。 “往上！ 离他的嘴远一点！” 他们俩抓着灌木和草，从巨人的嘴边往他的鼻子那边爬去。 “呜——呜！ 呜——呜！ 呜——呜！” 巨人现在哭得好像永远都停不下来了。 像大石头一样大的圆滚滚的泪珠噼里啪啦砸向弗洛里泽拉和班纳特，

drenching them with warm, salty water as they struggled to get away from the hurricane of the giant's sorrow. "Stop crying!" Florizella yelled. "Stop crying!"

他们拼命想要躲开巨人悲伤带来的“飓风”，却还是被温热的咸水浇了个透湿。 “别哭了！” 弗洛里泽拉大喊道。 “别哭了！”

"Unh-hunh!" the giant went, as loudly as ever. "What's the matter?" Bennett shouted. A huge teardrop splashed to the ground, drenching them both as if someone was throwing buckets of warm water at them. "I'm hungry! And I'm l-l-lost!" Another thunderstorm of tears poured down upon the children. Another ear-splitting sob nearly blew them away. "We can't survive much more of this!" Bennett yelled to Florizella. "He must stop!" Florizella nodded. "Shove me up towards his ear," she said. Bennett bent down and pushed Florizella up towards the giant's bushy yellow beard, and then higher– to the great dark cavern of his earhole. "Don't fall in!" Bennett yelled. "Don't go near the edge." Florizella nodded and took a firm grip on the soft undergrowth of the giant's beard. "We are your friends!" she bawled down the cave of his earhole. "We will get you some food. We will help you find your way home. STOP CRYING!"

“呜——呜！” 巨人还是哭得和刚才一样大声。 “你怎么了呀？” 班纳特喊道。 一颗巨大的泪珠砸在地上，把他们俩都浇透了，就像有人对着他们泼了好几桶温水似的。 “我饿呀！ 我还迷——迷——迷路了！” 又一场“眼泪暴雨”泼向两个孩子。 又一声震耳欲聋的抽噎差点把他们吹走。 “再这样下去我们可撑不住了！” 班纳特对弗洛里泽拉大喊。 “他必须停下来！” 弗洛里泽拉点点头。 “把我推到他耳朵边上去。”她说。 班纳特弯下腰，把弗洛里泽拉往巨人浓密的金色胡须上推，再往上推——一直推到他耳孔那个巨大的黑洞旁边。 “别掉进去了！” 班纳特大喊。 “别靠近边缘。” 弗洛里泽拉点点头，紧紧抓着巨人胡须下柔软的绒毛。 “我们是你的朋友！” 她对着他的耳孔洞里大喊。 “我们会给你找吃的。 我们会帮你找到回家的路。 别哭了！”
