Chapter 3-5

CHAPTER FiVE I am very glad to say there is a Mammoth in this chapter: Actually, I wish that there could be a Mammoth in every chapter Outside the window was a complete white-out from a blizzard of snow. Through the whirling snowflakes Florizella could just make out a huge polar bear strolling through her father's rose garden, followed by people wrapped from head to toe in furs, running behind a twelve-dog sledge. The sound of excited howling and barking filled the room and Samson the wolf, who had decided long ago that he preferred being a pet dog, took

第五章 我很高兴地告诉大家，这一章里有一头猛犸象哦： 说真的，我巴不得每一章都能有一头猛犸象呢。窗外暴雪肆虐，到处都是白茫茫的一片。 透过飞旋的雪花，弗洛里泽拉勉强能看见一头巨大的北极熊正慢悠悠地走过她爸爸的玫瑰园，后面跟着一群从头到脚裹着毛皮的人，正追着一架由十二只狗拉的雪橇跑。 兴奋的嚎叫和吠叫声灌满了整个房间，而狼参孙早就打定主意要当一只宠物狗了，这会儿它

one look out of the window and went quietly to sit behind the throne. "What's happened?" Bennett came to her side. "Wow! The weather has changed fast. It was midsummer a moment ago." "It must be the enchanters," she said gloomily. "Weren't they going to get some ice? I think they've rather overdone it." Courier joined them. "This may be partly my fault," he said. "I don't mind owning up." "It's all your fault," Florizella said crossly. "First the stupid car, which we should never have let you invent, then the enchanters wanted to improve it instead of simply uninventing it, and now they've frozen the whole of the Seven Kingdoms to get enough ice so that you can drive around in the only car in the kingdom." "You won't be able to drive on ice anyway," Bennett pointed out. "Well, I AM the prince," Courier said. "Naturally, people have to put themselves out a bit. What's a little inconvenience to them, after all? Who is going to be king? Getting your own

朝窗外看了一眼，就安安静静地走到王座后面躲着坐下了。 “发生什么事啦？” 贝内特走到她身边。 “哇！ 天气变得好快啊。 刚刚还是盛夏呢。” “肯定是那些魔法师搞的鬼。”她闷闷不乐地说。 “他们不是说要去弄点冰吗？ 我看他们做得太过头了。” 库里尔也凑了过来。 “这事可能我也有一部分责任。”他说， 我不介意承认的。” “全都是你的错！”弗洛里泽拉气鼓鼓地说。 “先是那辆蠢汽车，我们当初就不该让你发明出来，然后魔法师们不想直接把它变没，反而想改进它，现在为了弄到足够的冰让你能开着王国里唯一的这辆车到处跑，他们把整个七王国都冻住了。” “再说了，你在冰上也开不了车呀。”贝内特指出。 “这个嘛，我可是王子。”库里尔说。 “大家自然得多费心一点嘛。 毕竟对他们来说，这点小麻烦算什么呀？ 以后谁要当国王啊？ 不用问别人就能想做什么就做什么，

way without even asking is the whole point of the Prince Permit…" And then he realised what he'd said. "Oh." "Yes," said Florizella crossly. "Exactly. You've just invented a new sort of prince and princess, without Rules, without Permits. So it's different now. Nobody is going to put up with inconvenient royals any more. Or spoiled princes, or irritating boys." "I say!" Bennett protested very quietly. "And one of us had better go and melt that ice. Because I'm pretty sure that there is not now, and never was, a Prince Permit that says it is OK for you to freeze the entire kingdom." "It's looking very bad all frozen over," Bennett agreed. "But in the meantime, do you think we could go sledging? Because that looks really good fun. And are those real wolves pulling the sledge? I mean, that's great, isn't it? Do you think we could tie Samson to a sledge?" Samson came out from behind the throne and sat very tall in an obedient dog position very close

本来就是王子许可证的全部意义嘛…… 话刚说出口他才意识到自己说了什么。 “哦。” “可不是嘛。”弗洛里泽拉气呼呼地说， “没错。 你刚刚发明了一种新的王子公主，不用守规矩，也不用许可证。 所以现在情况不一样了。 没人会再忍受给他们添麻烦的王室成员了。 也不会惯着被宠坏的王子，或者讨人嫌的男孩子。” “喂！” 贝内特别小声地抗议道。 “我们最好有人去把冰化了。 因为我很确定，现在没有，以前也从来没有过什么王子许可证，能允许你把整个王国都冻住。” “整个王国冻成这样看起来确实很糟糕。”贝内特也同意， “不过话说回来，你觉得我们能去玩雪橇吗？ 因为看起来真的好有意思啊。 拉雪橇的那些是真的狼吗？ 我是说，那太棒了，不是吗？ 你觉得我们能把参孙也拴到雪橇上吗？” 参孙立刻从王座后面走出来，腰板挺得直直的，摆出一副乖乖听话的狗狗姿势，紧挨着

to the king, as if to point out that he was nothing at all to do with wolves now. He looked sulkily at Bennett with his amber eyes. "And now you've upset Samson!" Florizella went to the broken window and looked out. "I say, Bennett," she said in a quite different voice. "Courier, come quick! Both of you, come and have a look at this." The two princes crossed the room, and the king and the queen came too. They all stood in the icy blast from the broken window and looked out through the slowly clearing blizzard. Then they all jumped back, with one great leap backwards, as the most enormous, gigantic hairy Mammoth put its huge head and snowy white tusks through the window. It was so big that it blocked the light. It was quite terrifying. "Hewwo," he said.

国王坐着，好像是要表明自己现在和狼一点关系都没有。 它用琥珀色的眼睛气鼓鼓地瞪着贝内特。 “你看，你把参孙都惹生气了！” 弗洛里泽拉走到破了的窗户边往外看。 “哎，贝内特。”她的声音一下子变得完全不一样了。 “库里尔，快过来！ 你们俩都快过来看看这个。” 两位王子穿过房间走了过来，国王和王后也跟着来了。 他们都站在破窗户灌进来的寒风里，透过渐渐变小的暴风雪往外看。 紧接着他们全都往后跳了一大步，只见一头无比巨大、毛茸茸的猛犸象把它的大脑袋和雪白的长牙从窗户伸了进来。 它太大了，把光线都挡住了。 可吓人了。 “你们好呀。”它说。
