Grimms' Fairy Tales — Page 3
当钟声敲响十二下时，他听到空中传来一阵沙沙声，一只纯金的鸟儿飞了过来；
As the clock struck twelve he heard a rustling noise in the air, and a bird came flying that was of pure gold;
当它用喙啄食其中一个苹果时，园丁的儿子跳了起来，朝它射出了一箭。
and as it was snapping at one of the apples with its beak, the gardener's son jumped up and shot an arrow at it.
但是箭并没有伤到那只鸟；
But the arrow did the bird no harm;
它只是从尾巴上掉落了一根金色的羽毛，然后便飞走了。
only it dropped a golden feather from its tail, and then flew away.
那根金羽毛在早晨被带到了国王面前，所有的议员都被召集在一起。
The golden feather was brought to the king in the morning, and all the council was called together.
大家一致认为它的价值超过了王国所有的财富；
Everyone agreed that it was worth more than all the wealth of the kingdom:
但国王说：'一根羽毛对我没有用，我必须得到整只鸟。'
but the king said, 'One feather is of no use to me, I must have the whole bird.'
于是园丁的长子出发了，以为很容易就能找到那只金鸟；
Then the gardener's eldest son set out and thought to find the golden bird very easily;
走了没多远，他来到一片树林，在树林旁边他看见一只狐狸坐在那里；
and when he had gone but a little way, he came to a wood, and by the side of the wood he saw a fox sitting;
于是他拿起弓，准备向它射箭。
so he took his bow and made ready to shoot at it.
这时狐狸说：'不要射我，因为我会给你好的忠告；
Then the fox said, 'Do not shoot me, for I will give you good counsel;
我知道你的来意，你是想找到那只金鸟。'
I know what your business is, and that you want to find the golden bird.
