“叽叽,叽叽。” 鸟儿一边唱着,一边飞进绿色的树林,拇指姑娘感到非常难过。她不能到温暖的阳光下去。
“tweet, tweet,” sang the bird, as he flew out into the green woods, and tiny felt very sad she was not allowed to go out into the warm sunshine
长在田鼠屋子上面田野里的麦子已经长得很高,对只有一英寸高的拇指姑娘来说就像一片茂密的树林。
the corn which had been sown in the field over the house of the field - mouse had grown up high into the air, and formed a thick wood to tiny, who was only an inch in height
“你就要结婚了,拇指姑娘。” 田鼠说。
“you are going to be married, tiny,” said the field - mouse
“我的邻居向你求婚了。像你这样一个可怜的孩子,这是多么好的运气啊。现在我们要准备你的结婚礼服了。它们必须是羊毛和亚麻材质的。当你成为鼹鼠的妻子时,什么都不能缺。”
“my neighbor has asked for you what good fortune for a poor child like you now we will prepare your wedding clothes they must be both woollen and linen nothing must be wanting when you are the mole’s wife”
拇指姑娘不得不去纺线,田鼠雇了四只蜘蛛,它们要日夜纺织。
tiny had to turn the spindle, and the field - mouse hired four spiders, who were to weave day and night
每天晚上鼹鼠都会来拜访她,不停地说着夏天结束的时候。
every evening the mole visited her, and was continually speaking of the time when the summer would be over
到那时他就要和拇指姑娘举行婚礼;但现在太阳的热度非常大,把土地都烤焦了,让土地变得像石头一样坚硬。
then he would keep his wedding - day with tiny; but now the heat of the sun was so great that it burned the earth, and made it quite hard, like a stone
夏天一结束,婚礼就应该举行。
as soon, as the summer was over, the wedding should take place
但是拇指姑娘一点也不高兴;因为她不喜欢这个讨厌的鼹鼠。
but tiny was not at all pleased; for she did not like the tiresome mole
每天早晨太阳升起的时候,每天晚上太阳落下的时候,她都会爬到门口,当风吹开麦穗,这样她就能看到蓝天,她觉得外面看起来是多么美丽和明亮,非常希望能再次见到她亲爱的燕子。
every morning when the sun rose, and every evening when it went down, she would creep out at the door, and as the wind blew aside the ears of corn, so that she could see the blue sky, she thought how beautiful and bright it seemed out there, and wished so much to see her dear swallow again
但是他再也没有回来;因为到这个时候他已经飞到很远的可爱的绿色森林里去了。
but he never returned; for by this time he had flown far away into the lovely green forest
当秋天到来的时候,拇指姑娘已经把她的行装完全准备好了;田鼠对她说:“四个星期后婚礼必须举行。”
when autumn arrived, tiny had her outfit quite ready; and the field - mouse said to her, “in four weeks the wedding must take place”
然后拇指姑娘哭了起来,说她不愿嫁给这个讨厌的鼹鼠。
then tiny wept, and said she would not marry the disagreeable mole
“胡说,” 田鼠回答道。
“nonsense,” replied the field - mouse
“现在别固执了,否则我要用我的白牙咬你了。他是一只非常英俊的鼹鼠;女王自己也没有穿比他更漂亮的天鹅绒和皮草。他的厨房和地窖都满满的。你应该为有这样的好运而非常感激。”
“now don’t be obstinate, or i shall bite you with my white teeth he is a very handsome mole; the queen herself does not wear more beautiful velvets and furs his kitchen and cellars are quite full you ought to be very thankful for such good fortune”
于是婚礼的日子定下来了,到那天鼹鼠就要把拇指姑娘接走,和他一起住在深深的地下,再也看不到温暖的太阳了,因为他不喜欢太阳。
so the wedding - day was fixed, on which the mole was to fetch tiny away to live with him, deep under the earth, and never again to see the warm sun, because he did not like it
一想到要和美丽的太阳告别,这个可怜的孩子就非常难过,因为田鼠已经允许她站在门口,她就再去看一眼太阳。
the poor child was very unhappy at the thought of saying farewell to the beautiful sun, and as the field - mouse had given her permission to stand at the door, she went to look at it once more
“再见了,明亮的太阳,” 她朝着太阳伸出手臂喊道;
“farewell bright sun,” she cried, stretching out her arm towards it;
然后她从房子走了一小段距离;因为麦子已经收割了,田野里只剩下干枯的麦茬。
and then she walked a short distance from the house; for the corn had been cut, and only the dry stubble remained in the fields
“再见,再见,” 她重复着,用手臂缠绕着长在她身边的一朵小红花。
“farewell, farewell,” she repeated, twining her arm round a little red flower that grew just by her side
“如果你再见到小燕子的话,代我向他问好。”
“greet the little swallow from me, if you should see him again”
“叽叽,叽叽,” 突然在她头顶上响起。
“tweet, tweet,” sounded over her head suddenly
她抬头一看,小燕子自己正在附近飞翔。
she looked up, and there was the swallow himself flying close by
他一看到拇指姑娘,就很高兴;然后她告诉他自己多么不愿意嫁给丑陋的鼹鼠,要永远生活在地下,再也看不到明亮的太阳了。
as soon as he spied tiny, he was delighted; and then she told him how unwilling she felt to marry the ugly mole, and to live always beneath the earth, and never to see the bright sun any more
在她诉说的时候她哭了。
and as she told him she wept
“寒冷的冬天就要来了,” 燕子说,“我打算飞到更温暖的国度去。你愿意和我一起去吗?你可以坐在我的背上,用你的腰带把自己系紧。这样我们就可以飞离丑陋的鼹鼠和他那阴暗的房间了 —— 远远地飞离,越过群山,飞到更温暖的国度,那里的阳光比这里更明亮 —— 在那里永远是夏天,花朵开得更加美丽。现在和我一起飞吧,亲爱的小拇指姑娘;当我冻僵在那黑暗的通道里时,是你救了我的命。”
“cold winter is ing,” said the swallow, “and i am going to fly away into warmer countries will you go with me you can sit on my back, and fasten yourself on with your sash then we can fly away from the ugly mole and his gloomy rooms, — far away, over the mountains, into warmer countries, where the sun shines more brightly — than here; where it is always summer, and the flowers bloom in greater beauty fly now with me, dear little tiny; you saved my life when i lay frozen in that dark passage”
“是的,我愿意和你一起去。” 拇指姑娘说;然后她坐在鸟儿的背上,把脚放在他伸展开的翅膀上,并把她的腰带系在他一根最结实的羽毛上。
“yes, i will go with you,” said tiny; and she seated herself on the bird’s back, with her feet on his outstretched wings, and tied her girdle to one of his strongest feathers
然后燕子飞向空中,飞越森林,飞越大海,高高地飞越过终年积雪的最高山峰。
then the swallow rose in the air, and flew over forest and over sea, high above the highest mountains, covered with eternal snow
拇指姑娘在寒冷的空气中可能会被冻僵,但她躲在鸟儿温暖的羽毛下面,只把她的小脑袋露在外面,这样她就可以欣赏他们经过的美丽土地了。
tiny would have been frozen in the cold air, but she crept under the bird’s warm feathers, keeping her little head uncovered, so that she might admire the beautiful lands over which they passed
