Beauty and the Beast

《美女与野兽》

Chapter 1 Beauty There was once a very rich man named Pierre who gave his three daughters everything they wanted. I love my daughters. I love presents.

第一章 美女 从前有个叫皮埃尔的大富翁，三个女儿想要什么他都给。 我爱我的女儿们。 我喜欢礼物。

Bring us rubies and silks from the market, demanded Sophie and Marie, his eldest daughters. Oh, and a satin dress and pearls. Pierre turned to his youngest daughter. Don't you want anything, beauty? He asked.

“从集市给我们带红宝石和丝绸回来。”他的大女儿苏菲和玛丽命令道。 “哦，还要一件缎面裙子和珍珠。” 皮埃尔转头问小女儿：“你什么都不想要吗，贝儿？”

May I have a rose? asked Beauty. They always seem to die in our garden. I wonder why? said Marie. It's a mystery! added Sophie. And such a shame when you love them so!

“我可以要一朵玫瑰吗？”贝儿问，“咱们家花园里的玫瑰总活不长。” “真奇怪这是为什么？”玛丽说。 “真是个谜！”苏菲补充道，“你这么喜欢玫瑰，这也太可惜了！”

Pierre waved goodbye to his daughters and galloped away on his sleek white horse. As he rode, a thick fog filled the air. Pierre couldn't see the path ahead or even his horse below him.

皮埃尔和女儿们挥手告别，骑着他那匹油光水滑的白马疾驰而去。 他赶路的时候，四周忽然起了浓浓的大雾。 皮埃尔看不见前面的路，甚至连身下的马都看不清了。

He went on blindly until suddenly the fog rolled back to reveal a towering castle. Pierre gasped, where am I?

他摸黑往前走，忽然雾散了，一座高耸的城堡出现在眼前。 皮埃尔倒抽一口冷气：“我这是在哪儿？”
