Grimms' Fairy Tales — Page 8
' As he took up the golden saddle the groom awoke and cried out so loud, that all the guards ran in and took him prisoner, and in the morning he was again brought before the court to be judged, and was sentenced to die.
当他拿起金鞍的时候，马夫醒了过来，大声呼喊，所有的卫兵都跑了进来，将他抓为囚犯，到了早上，他再次被带到法庭受审，并被判处死刑。
But it was agreed, that, if he could bring thither the beautiful princess, he should live, and have the bird and the horse given him for his own.
但是大家商定，如果他能够将美丽的公主带来，他就可以活命，并且将那只鸟和那匹马都赐予他。
Then he went his way very sorrowful; but the old fox came and said, 'Why did not you listen to me?
于是他十分悲伤地上路了；但是那只老狐狸来了，说道："你为什么不听我的话？
If you had, you would have carried away both the bird and the horse; yet will I once more give you counsel.
如果你听了，你就能将那只鸟和那匹马都带走；不过我还是再给你指点一次吧。
Go straight on, and in the evening you will arrive at a castle.
一直往前走，到了傍晚你将会到达一座城堡。
At twelve o'clock at night the princess goes to the bathing-house: go up to her and give her a kiss, and she will let you lead her away; but take care you do not suffer her to go and take leave of her father and mother.'
夜里十二点，公主会去浴室：你走上前去吻她，她就会让你将她带走；但是要注意，不要让她去向她的父母道别。"
Then the fox stretched out his tail, and so away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled again.
然后狐狸伸出它的尾巴，他们就这样翻山越岭地飞奔而去，直到耳边的风声呼呼作响。
