Grimms' Fairy Tales — Page 8
当他拿起金马鞍时,马夫醒了过来,大声呼喊,所有的卫兵都跑了进来,将他抓住。
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.
第二天早晨,他再次被带到法庭受审,并被判处死刑。
In the morning he was again brought before the court to be judged, and was sentenced to die.
但大家商定,如果他能把美丽的公主带来,他就可以活命,并且那只鸟和那匹马也会赐给他。
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.
于是他垂头丧气地上路了,但老狐狸来了,说道:'你为什么不听我的话呢?'
Then he went his way very sorrowful; but the old fox came and said, 'Why did not you listen to me?'
如果你听了我的话,你早就把那只鸟和那匹马都带走了。
If you had, you would have carried away both the bird and the horse.
不过我再给你一个忠告。
Yet will I once more give you counsel.
你一直往前走,傍晚时你会到达一座城堡。
Go straight on, and in the evening you will arrive at a castle.
夜里十二点,公主会去浴室;走近她,给她一个吻,她就会让你带她离开。
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.
但要注意,不要让她去向她的父母道别。
But take care you do not suffer her to go and take leave of her father and mother.
然后狐狸伸出它的尾巴,他们便飞奔而去,翻山越岭,风驰电掣。
Then the fox stretched out his tail, and so away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled again.
