Cinderella is a pretty girl. She's got blue eyes and blonde curly hair. She's always happy. She likes singing and playing with her pet cat and the mice in the kitchen. She lives in a big house with her two sisters. Her sisters are very ugly. They've got big noses and big ugly feet. They don't like Cinderella and she has to do all the work in the house. They throw their clothes on the floor. Pick up our clothes, they say. They shout at Cinderella. Clean the kitchen. Wash the clothes. Cook the dinner.

灰姑娘是个漂亮的小姑娘，她有着蓝色的眼睛和金色的卷发。 她总是开开心心的，喜欢唱歌，还爱和自己的宠物猫、厨房里的小老鼠们一起玩。 她和两个姐姐住在一栋大房子里，她的姐姐们长得非常丑。 她们长着大鼻子，还有一双又大又丑的脚。 她们不喜欢灰姑娘，家里所有的活都得灰姑娘来做。 她们把衣服随便扔在地上。 “把我们的衣服捡起来！”她们冲灰姑娘大喊大叫。 “打扫厨房，洗衣服，做晚饭。”

One day, Cinderella is in the kitchen. She's washing the plates. The sun is shining and Cinderella is happy. She's looking out of the window and singing with the birds. Blackie, her cat, is playing with his friends, the little mice. Goldie is Cinderella's goldfish. He's swimming in his bowl and listening to the birds singing. Cinderella! Cinderella! say her sisters. Come here, quickly!

有一天，灰姑娘正在厨房里。 她在刷盘子。 阳光明媚，灰姑娘心情很好。 她望着窗外，跟着小鸟一起唱歌。 她的小猫布莱克，正在和他的朋友们——小老鼠们一起玩耍。 戈尔迪是灰姑娘养的金鱼。 他在鱼缸里游来游去，听着小鸟唱歌。 “灰姑娘！灰姑娘！”她的姐姐们喊她。 “快过来！”

Cinderella runs upstairs into the living room. Here I am, she says. Look at this! We've got an invitation from the King. An invitation to the ball at the palace. An invitation to the ball? says Cinderella. That's wonderful! Yes, say the sisters. We can wear beautiful dresses and we can dance with Prince Charming. Can I come to the ball? says Cinderella. You? say the sisters. Come to the ball? No, you can't come to the ball. You haven't got a dress.

灰姑娘跑上楼来到客厅。 “我来了。”她说。 “快看这个！我们收到国王的邀请函了！” “是邀请我们去王宫参加舞会的。” “邀请去参加舞会？” 灰姑娘说：“那太棒了！” “是啊。”姐姐们说。 “我们可以穿漂亮的裙子，还能和白马王子跳舞呢。” “我也可以去舞会吗？”灰姑娘问。 “你？”姐姐们说。 “还想去舞会？” “不行，你不能去舞会。” “你连一件像样的裙子都没有。”

On the day of the ball, Cinderella is very busy. The ugly sisters want Cinderella to do everything. Cinderella, come here and help me with my dress. Cinderella, come here and help me with my hair. Cinderella, go and find my blue shoes. Cinderella, go and find my yellow bag. Cinderella, where's my necklace? Cinderella, where's my ring? Cinderella, quickly, quickly, quickly, it's time to go.

舞会当天，灰姑娘忙得脚不沾地。 丑陋的姐姐们什么事都要灰姑娘帮忙做。 “灰姑娘，过来帮我穿裙子。” “灰姑娘，过来帮我做头发。” “灰姑娘，去把我的蓝鞋子找来。” “灰姑娘，去把我的黄包包找来。” “灰姑娘，我的项链去哪了？” “灰姑娘，我的戒指去哪了？” “灰姑娘，快点，快点，再快点，我们该出发了！”

Don't cry, Cinderella, says Blackie. I want to go to the ball, says Cinderella. You can go to the ball, says a beautiful woman. Who are you, says Cinderella. I'm your fairy godmother, says the beautiful woman. Cinderella, go into the garden and find a nice big pumpkin, says the fairy godmother. Come here, Blackie, let's put Goldie here on the floor and, oh yes, six little white mice. Perfect, says the fairy godmother. The fairy godmother waves her magic wand and says, Abracadabra.

“别哭呀灰姑娘。”布莱克说。 “我想去舞会。”灰姑娘哭着说。 “你可以去舞会的。”一个漂亮的女人说道。 “你是谁呀？”灰姑娘问。 “我是你的仙女教母呀。”漂亮女人回答。 “灰姑娘，去花园里找一个大大的好南瓜来。”仙女教母说。 “过来，布莱克，我们把戈尔迪放在地上，哦对了，还有六只小白鼠也过来。” “太好了。”仙女教母说。 仙女教母挥了挥魔法棒，念道：“阿布拉克达拉。”
