齊格弗裏德王子
Once upon a time, in a far away land, there lived a Prince.
從前，在壹個遙遠的國度，住著壹位王子。
His name was Zigfried, and he was very unhappy.
他的名字叫齊格弗裏德，他非常不快樂。
His father, the King, had died, and since then, everyone in the palace had forgotten how to smile.
他的父親，也就是國王，去世了。從那以後，宮殿裏的每個人都忘記了如何微笑。
Without his father, Zigfried thought he would never feel happy again.
沒有了父親，齊格弗裏德覺得自己再也不會感到快樂了。
Every day, Zigfried sat at the window in his room in the palace, looking at the birds in the trees.
每天，齊格弗裏德都坐在宮殿裏他房間的窗戶旁，看著樹上的鳥兒。
"How can they sing and fly so free? They must not feel like me."
“它們怎麽能如此自由地歌唱和飛翔呢？它們壹定不像我。”
His servant, Ozlowe, tried to make the prince smile by telling him jokes or doing funny tricks for him.
他的仆人厄茲洛試圖通過給他講笑話或做有趣的惡作劇來讓他笑。
But the Prince would not smile.
但王子不肯笑。
"I know you love me Ozlowe, but I cannot smile. My heart is broken."
“我知道妳愛我，厄茲洛，但我不會笑了。我的心已經破碎了。”
Ozlowe would not give up.
厄茲洛不會放棄。
"Let's go for a walk, good Prince. Maybe we can find something outside which will make you happy."
“我們去散步吧，好王子。或許我們可以在外面發現讓妳快樂的事。”
"If you wish Ozlowe, but I don't think there's anything that can make me happy."
“如果妳希望的話，厄茲洛，但我認為沒有什麽事能讓我快樂。”
Ozlowe put on his hunting cap, and he took his crossbow.
厄茲洛戴上狩獵帽，拿起他的弩。
He enjoyed hunting and he hoped to catch a bird or a rabbit for the Prince.
他喜歡打獵，他希望為王子抓壹只鳥或壹只兔子。
They walked through the forest until they came to a lake.
他們穿過森林，來到壹個湖邊。
On the lake there was a beautiful white swan.
湖上有壹只美麗的白天鵝。
It had a gold crown on its head, that only Princesses wear.
它頭上戴著壹頂只有公主才戴的金王冠。
The swan swam towards the prince and looked into his eyes.
天鵝遊向王子，看著他的眼睛。
The swan's eyes were so sad that Prince Zigfried felt sorry for it.
天鵝的雙眼是如此悲傷，以至於齊格弗裏德王子為此感到難過。
"Here is a creature which feels worse than I do. But why do you have that crown on your head?"
“這是壹個感覺比我更糟的家夥。但妳為什麽頭上戴著王冠呢？”
The swan opened its wings and cried out.
天鵝張開翅膀叫喚起來。
"I think it's trying to tell me something."
“我想它是想告訴我壹些事情。”
Ozlowe had his crossbow in his hands.
厄茲洛手裏拿著他的駑。
He wanted to shoot the swan.
他想射殺天鵝。
"I'll get that swan for you. Prince. Just one minute."
“我會幫妳得到天鵝的。王子，就壹分鐘。”
"Ozlowe, no!"
“厄茲洛，不要！”
Before Ozlowe could shoot, a magic owl flew from a tree and took Ozlowe's cap off his head.
厄茲洛還沒來得及射擊，壹只會魔法貓頭鷹就從樹上飛下來，從他頭上摘下了他的帽子。
This cast a spell on him, and he was turned to stone.
這對他下了壹個魔咒，他變成了石頭。
