Grimms' Fairy Tales — Page 10
年轻人说：'那当然是件好事，但你怎么能办到呢？'
said the young man, 'that would be a great thing, but how can you contrive it?'
狐狸说：'你只要听我说，'这件事是可以做到的。
'If you will only listen,' said the fox, 'it can be done.
当你来到国王面前，他要求那位美丽的公主时，你必须说：'她在这里！'
When you come to the king, and he asks for the beautiful princess, you must say, "Here she is!"
那时他会非常高兴，你将骑上他们要赠给你的那匹金马，伸出手向他们告别。
Then he will be very joyful; and you will mount the golden horse that they are to give you, and put out your hand to take leave of them;
但最后要和公主握手告别。
but shake hands with the princess last.
然后迅速把她拉上马，坐在你身后，用马刺夹紧马腹，尽快飞驰而去。'
Then lift her quickly on to the horse behind you; clap your spurs to his side, and gallop away as fast as you can.'
一切都顺利进行了。然后狐狸说：'当你来到关着那只鸟的城堡时，我会和公主留在门口，
All went right: then the fox said, 'When you come to the castle where the bird is, I will stay with the princess at the door,
你骑马进去，向国王说话；当他看到那是对的马，他会把鸟带出来；
and you will ride in and speak to the king; and when he sees that it is the right horse, he will bring out the bird;
但你必须坐定不动，说你想看看它，看是否是真正的金鸟；
but you must sit still, and say that you want to look at it, to see whether it is the true golden bird;
一旦你把它握在手中，就骑马离开。'
and when you get it into your hand, ride away.'
这件事也按照狐狸所说的那样发生了；他们带走了那只鸟，公主再次上马，他们一同骑向一片大树林。
This, too, happened as the fox said; they carried off the bird, the princess mounted again, and they rode on to a great wood.
这时狐狸来了，说：'请你杀了我，砍掉我的头和我的脚。'
Then the fox came, and said, 'Pray kill me, and cut off my head and my feet.
