拇指姑娘

She had a little house of her own
，

a little garden too
，

this woman of whom I am
going to tell you
，

but for all that she was not quite happy
．

“If only I had a little child of my own
，
” she said
，

“Then
，

indeed
，

I should be quite
happy
．
”

今天我要讲给大家听的是一个妇女的故事，她有自 己的一间小屋和一个小花园，
但她还是开心不起来。

她说，我要是有个一丁点小的孩子该多好啊，这样我会多么开心啊。

And an old witch heard what the woman had wished
，

and said
，

“Oh
，

but that is
easily
managed
．

Here
is
a
barley
－
corn
．

Plant
it
in
a
flower
－
pot
and
tend
it
carefully
，

and then you will see what will happen
．
”

The woman was in a great hurry to go home and plant the barley
－
corn
，

but she did
not forget to say “thank you” to the old witch
．

She not only thanked her
，

she even
stayed to give her six silver pennies
．

消息传到了一个女巫的耳朵里，她说，哦 ，这好办的很！这是一颗大麦粒，把它
种到花盆里，然后你就等着看会发生什么吧。

女人赶紧跑回家种下麦粒，她没忘对巫婆说声谢谢，不仅如此，她还给了巫婆
6
个银币。




And what do you think happened? Almost before the corn was planted
，

up shot a
large and beautiful flower
．

It was still unopened
．

The petals were folded closely
together
，

but it looked like a tulip
．

It really was a tulip
，

a red and yellow one
，

too
．

The woman loved flowers
．

She stooped and kissed the beautiful bud
．

As her lips
touched the petals
，

they burst open
，

and oh
！

wonder of wonders
！

there in the very
middle of the flower
，

there sat a little child
．

Such a tiny
，

pretty little maiden she
was
．

They called her Thumbelina
．

That was because she was no bigger than the woman’s
thumb
．

你猜发生了什么
?
麦粒刚种下去，一朵美丽的大花就破土而出。这是一朵没开放
的花，
它的叶子紧紧的包在一起，
看起来像是一朵郁金香。
它真的是一朵郁金香，< br>而且是红中带黄的。

女人非常喜欢花。她弯腰在美丽的花蕾上亲了一下。她的嘴唇一碰 到花瓣，花儿
立刻绽放了！噢，太美妙了！就在花的中央，坐着一个小小孩儿！多么小，多么
可 爱的一个少女啊！

大家叫她拇指姑娘。因为她只有一个人的拇指那么点大。

And where do you think she slept?
When she slept little Thumbelina lay in her cradle on a tiny heap of violets
，

with the
petal of a pale pink rose to cover her
．

And where do you think she played? A table was her playground
．

On the table the
woman placed a plate of water
．

Little Thumbelina called that her lake
．

Round the plate were scented flowers
，

the blossoms laying on the edge
，

while the
pale green stalks reached thirstily down to the water
．

你们知道她睡在哪里吗
?
小小拇指姑娘睡觉时躺在用紫罗兰花瓣垫着的胡桃壳里，盖的是粉色玫瑰花瓣。

你知 道她又是在怎么玩耍吗
?
一张桌子就是她玩耍的天地，女人在桌上放了一盘
子水，拇指 姑娘把它叫做她的湖

盘子上摆了一圈芳香的花儿，
花朵沿着边儿排开，
而嫩 绿的枝干贪婪地伸向水中。

In the lake floated a large tulip leaf
．

This was Thumbelina’s little boat
．

Seated there
she sailed from side to side of her little lake
，

rowing cleverly with two white horse
hairs
．

As she rowed backwards and forwards she sang softly to herself
．

The woman
listening hardly
，

and thought she had never known so sweet a song
．

And now such a sad thing happened
．

In
through
the
broken
window
－
pane
hopped
a
big
toad
，

oh
！

such
an
ugly
big
toad
．

She hopped right on to the table
，

where Thumbelina lay dreaming in her tiny
cradle
，

under the pale pink rose leaf
．





湖里 漂着一片大郁金香叶子，这是拇指姑娘的小船。她灵巧的用两根白马
尾做浆，把小船从湖的这头划到那头 。她来来回回划船时轻轻地哼着歌儿，女人
竖着耳朵听着，她觉得从来没听过这么一首甜美的歌。

可是就在这时发生了一件令人伤心的事。

一只大癞蛤蟆从破窗格子里跳了进来。 天啊，多么丑陋的一只癞蛤蟆，她一下子
跳到桌上，拇指姑娘此刻正盖着粉红的玫瑰花瓣，躺在小摇篮里 做着美梦呢。

She peeped at her
，

this ugly toad
．

“How beautiful the little maiden is
，
” she croaked
．

“She will make a lovely bride
for
my handsome son
．
” And she lifted the little cradle
，

with Thumbelina in it
，

and
hopped out through the broken window
－
pane
，

down into the garden
．

At the foot of the garden was a broad stream
．

Here
，

under the muddy banks lived the
old toad with her son
．

这只丑蛤蟆偷窥着她，

“
呱呱，这姑娘真漂亮！正好做我那漂亮儿子的新娘！
”
于是她抓起拇指姑娘正睡
着的小 摇篮，从破窗格子跳了出去，跳进了花园。

花园底下有一条宽宽的小溪，癞蛤蟆和她儿子就住在这泥泞的岸边。

How handsome she thought him
！

But he was really very ugly
．

Indeed
，

he was
exactly like his mother
．

When he saw little Thumbelina in her tiny cradle
，

he croaked with delight
．

“Do
not
make
so
much
noise
，
”
said
his
mother
，

“or
you
will
wake
the
tiny
creature
．

We may lose her if we are not careful
．

The slightest breeze would waft her
far away
．

She is as light as gossamer
．
”

癞蛤蟆觉得她儿子长的好看极了，但事实上他非常丑 。他和他妈简直就是一个模
子里铸出来的！

当他看见小床里的拇指姑娘时，兴奋的呱呱大叫起来。

“
别吵
”< br>！他妈说，
“
你会把这小可爱吵醒的！我们不小心点的话会让她跑掉的！微
风都 能把她吹走，她就像纱一样轻啊。
”




Then the old toad carried Thumbelina out into the middle of the stream
．

“She will
be safe here
，
” she said
，

as she laid her gently on one of the leaves of a large water
lily
，

and paddled back to her son
．

“We will make ready the best rooms under the mud
，
” she told him
，

“and then you
and the little maiden will be married
．
”

Poor little Thumbelina
！

She had not seen the ugly big toad yet
，

nor her ugly son
．

When she woke up early in the morning
，

how she wept
！

Water all around her
！

How
could she reach the shore? Poor little Thumbelina
！

老蛤蟆把拇指姑娘背到河中央，
“
她在这 里会很安全
”
，她说，把她轻轻地放在一
片大睡莲的叶子上，然后游回到儿子身边。< br>
我们要在泥巴下建几间的屋子，老蛤蟆说，这样你和她就可以结婚啦！

可怜的拇指姑娘！她还从没见过这两只丑癞蛤蟆啊。

拇指姑娘一早醒来发现自己的处 境后，伤心的哭泣起来，她的四周都是水！怎么
回到岸上呢
?
可怜的拇指姑娘啊！
Down
under
the
mud
the
old
toad
was
very
busy
，

decking
the
best
room
with
