巨人堤道的传说 爱尔兰民间故事 凯瑟琳·福利特改写 绘者：特萨尔·萨马尼亚戈 思考问题：乌娜想出了什么计划， 这个计划奏效了吗？ 巨人堤道的传说

Finn McCool was the strongest giant in Ireland. He lived on Knockmanny Hill with his wife, Una. Finn was helping build a bridge from Ireland to Scotland. They were almost done when the ground began to shake.

芬恩·麦库尔是爱尔兰最强壮的巨人。 他和妻子乌娜住在诺克曼尼山上。 芬恩当时正帮忙修建一座从爱尔兰通往苏格兰的桥。 桥快修完的时候，地面突然开始晃动。

Finn knew what it was. He ran home fast. Kukulun is coming from Scotland, he shouted to Una. His footsteps shook the ground, he added. Kukulun was the strongest giant in Scotland. Once he had smashed a thunderbolt. He still carried it to show off.

芬恩知道是怎么回事。 他飞快地跑回了家。 库库伦从苏格兰过来了！他冲着乌娜大喊。 他的脚步震得地面都在晃，他补充道。 库库伦是苏格兰最强壮的巨人。 他曾经一拳打碎过雷电。 他还一直把它带在身边炫耀。

Kukolin also loved to beat up other giants. We must deal with that bully, Una said. Finn put his thumb in his mouth. Thumbs are where giants get their strength.

库库伦还特别爱欺负别的巨人。 我们得对付这个恶霸，乌娜说。 芬恩把大拇指塞进了嘴里。 巨人的力量都来自大拇指哦。

You must do exactly what I say," Una said. She had Finn find three white stones. She made a ball of soft cheese. She set it with the stones. Next, she had Finn borrow a frying pan from every giant around. She made twenty -one loaves of bread. Inside seven, she hid an iron pan.

你必须严格照我说的做，乌娜说。 她让芬恩找来三块白色的石头。 她做了一个软奶酪球。 她把奶酪球和石头放在一起。 接着，她让芬恩向附近所有巨人各借了一口煎锅。 她做了二十一个面包。 其中七个面包里她藏了一口铁锅。

Then Una set up a large baby crib. Hide under these blankets, she told Finn. So he did.

然后乌娜搭了一张超大的婴儿床。 躲到这些毯子下面去，她对芬恩说。 于是芬恩照做了。
