Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky 词汇提示 1.curtain 窗帘 原文 Chapter 4: A bird in a cage Odile's room was at the top of the castle tower. Rocford had put her there, after he had taken her from her parents. She was the most beautiful Princess in the land, and her parents were good and kind. Rocford had asked her father if he could marry Odile. "We must ask my daughter what she thinks." Odile was brought to the wizard. "Odile, this man is asked to marry you. He says he is very rich and that he will make you the happiest princess in the world. What do you think?" Odile looked into the wizard's eyes. "Do you promise to love me forever, with all your heart? Will you love me so much that you will not think of what you want, even if it hurts you to do this?" The look in her eyes and her questions made Rocford uncomfortable. "Why do you ask me such questions?I told your father I could give you everything you could want." The Princess smiled and turned her head away. "I'm sorry Father, but I will not marry this man. He does not know what love is." They did not know then that he was a wizard. Rocford had looked like a Prince. He wore beautiful clothes and looked very handsome. But, when he heard what Odile said to her father, his face began to change. It became old and ugly. His clothes changed from blue to black. "You do not know what you are saying, you silly girl. I do not have to ask for what I want. I am a wizard,and I can do anything I please." He waved his hands through the air, and a fire started in the castle where the Princess and her parents lived. He had turned Odile into a small bird in a cage, and carried her to his castle where he locked her up in a tower. The entire kingdom was destroyed by this fire, and her parents were killed. There was a real bird in a cage in Odile's room at the wizard's castle. The wizard had put it there so that Odile would remember the power he had over her. He only let her leave the castle as a swan because he did not want other men to fall in love with her. At night, she stayed in her room talking to the bird, who was her only friend. She called the bird Patrice, because it was her mother's name. "Oh Patrice, what should I do? The ball is tonight, and I am a prisoner here. I believe the Prince loves me with all his heart. I saw it in his eyes. He loved me even as a swan." Odile heard keys in her locked door. She put the bird and its cage behind a curtain,because she did not want the bird to see what was about to happen. 翻译 第四章：笼中的鸟 奥迪尔的房间在城堡塔顶。 罗福德把她从父母身边带走后，把她放在那里。 她是这片土地上最美丽的公主，她的父母都很善良。 罗福德问她的父亲是否可以嫁给奥迪尔。 “我们必须问问我女儿的想法。” 奥迪尔被带到巫师面前。 “奥迪尔，有人向这个男人求婚。他说他很富有，他会让你成为世界上最幸福的公主。你觉得怎么样？” 奥迪尔凝视着巫师的眼睛。 “你答应永远全心全意地爱我吗？”你会不会爱我到不去想你想要什么，即使这样做会伤害到你？” 她的眼神和她的问题让罗福德很不舒服。 “你为什么问我这样的问题？”我告诉过你父亲，你想要什么我都可以给你。” 公主笑了笑，转过头去。 “对不起，爸爸，我不会嫁给这个人的。他不知道什么是爱。” 那时他们还不知道他是个巫师。 罗福德看上去像个王子。 他穿着漂亮的衣服，看起来很英俊。 但是，当他听到奥迪勒对她父亲说的话时，他的脸色开始变了。 它变得又老又丑。 他的衣服由蓝色变成了黑色。 “你不知道你在说什么，你这个傻姑娘。我不需要要求我想要的。我是一个巫师，我可以做任何我想做的事。” 他在空中挥挥手，公主和她父母住的城堡里燃起了大火。 他把奥迪尔变成了一只关在笼子里的小鸟，把她带到他的城堡里，把她锁在一座高塔上。 整个王国都被这场大火烧毁了，她的父母也被杀了。 在巫师的城堡里，奥德勒的房间里有一只笼子里关着一只真鸟。 巫师把它放在那里，是为了让奥迪尔记住他对她拥有的力量。 他让她离开城堡只是因为他不想让其他男人爱上她。 晚上，她呆在自己的房间里，和她唯一的朋友小鸟聊天。 她叫这只鸟帕特里斯，因为这是她母亲的名字。 “哦，帕特里斯，我该怎么办？”舞会就在今晚，而我却被囚禁在这里。我相信王子是全心全意地爱我的。我从他的眼睛里看出来了。他爱我就像爱天鹅一样。” 奥迪尔听到锁门的声音。 她把鸟儿和鸟笼放在帘子后面，因为她不想让鸟儿看到将要发生的事情。

Odet, the wizard's evil daughter, was behind a tree. When she saw Odile talking to the Prince,she was jealous; she wanted to go to the ball, and what was more, she wanted to marry the Prince. She didn't like Odile, because she was so beautiful and kind. But the wizard loved her, so Odet couldn't do anything to hurt her... until now! Odet went to the wizard's room, but he was not there. The room looked like a museum. There was an Egyptian statue against one wall, and large aquariums full of strange fish. On a table stood many different colored bottles. Odet opened one of the bottles. Smoke came out of it. It smelled of burning wood. The magic owl flew into the open window,unseen by Odet, and changed back into the wizard. "Do you like the smell?" "Oh, Father! You scared me." "You wouldn't be afraid if you were not in my room when I wasn't here." "I know father, but I have something very important to tell you. It's about Odile." The wizard opened his eyes wide. He was a tall man, with a long, white beard and long, white hair. He wore a big black hat and a long black robe with stars on it. "Tell me what you know!" "First, you must promise to do something for me." "What is it?" "I can't tell you now. First, I must tell you about Odile, then I will ask for something. Will you do it?" The wizard was very much in love with Odile. He would change his daughter into a frog because he wanted to know about Odile. "Today, I saw Odile talking to Prince Zigfried. The Prince asked Odile to go to the royal ball tonight. He wants to marry her and free her from your evil powers. " The wizard turned in a circle and pointed his hand at the floor. Fire came from his fingers and hit the floor. The whole castle shook. "I should have destroyed the Prince today, when I saw him with Odile." "You saw him, too?" "Yes, at the lake. I attacked him,but I was only an owl. Odile knew this and she left him. He must have followed her here." "Oh yes Father, and he is so handsome! You should see his face!" "Silence!" The wizard turned himself into a large,stone ball. He threw himself against the walls,making the castle shake again. Alone in her room, Odile felt the castle shaking. She hid her head under a pillow on her bed; she hated it when the wizard got angry. The wizard changed back into himself in his room. "Now Father, you promised you'd do something for me." "I never promised you anything!" "Oh, Father. I want to go to the ball! I want to marry the prince." The wizard angrily raised his hand again. Then, he thought of something. Slowly, he lowered his hand. "You would like to go to the ball,wouldn't you?" "Oh yes, Father!" "And you would like to marry the prince?" "Yes, I would." " Then you will, and he will think that you are Odile." "Oh Father, what a wonderful idea!" She put her arms around him. His body was cold as stone, and his eyes were filled with fire. 翻译 第三章：奥德 齐格弗里德走了，奥迪尔进了城堡。 奥德，巫师的邪恶女儿，在一棵树后面。 当她看到奥迪尔和王子说话时，她很嫉妒；她想去参加舞会，更重要的是，她想嫁给王子。 她不喜欢奥迪尔，因为她是如此美丽和善良。 但是巫师爱她，所以奥德不能做任何伤害她的事……直到现在! 奥德去了巫师的房间，但他不在那里。 这个房间看起来像个博物馆。 墙上有一尊埃及雕像，还有满是奇奇怪怪的鱼的大水族箱。 桌子上放着许多不同颜色的瓶子。 奥德打开了其中一个瓶子。 烟从里面冒出来。 它有木头燃烧的味道。 那只神奇的猫头鹰在奥德没有看见的情况下飞进开着的窗户，变回了巫师。 “你喜欢这种味道吗？” “噢,爸爸!你吓到我了。” “如果我不在的时候你不在我的房间里，你就不会害怕了。” “我知道，爸爸，但我有非常重要的事情要告诉你。是关于奥迪尔的。” 巫师睁大了眼睛。 他个子很高，留着长长的白胡子和长长的白发。 他戴着一顶黑色的大帽子，穿着一件上面有星星的黑色长袍。 “告诉我你知道些什么！” “首先，你必须答应为我做点什么。” “什么事？” “我现在不能告诉你。首先，我必须告诉你关于奥迪尔的事，然后我再提点要求。你愿意做吗？” 巫师深深地爱上了奥迪尔。 他想把他的女儿变成一只青蛙，因为他想了解奥迪勒。 “今天，我看见奥迪尔和齐格弗里德王子说话。王子邀请奥迪尔今晚去参加皇家舞会。他想娶她，把她从你的邪恶力量中解救出来。” 巫师转了一个圈，用手指着地板。 火从他的指缝里冒出来，打在地板上。 整个城堡都震动了。 “我今天看到王子和奥迪尔在一起时，真应该把他干掉的。” “你也看见他了？” “是的，在湖边。我攻击了他，但我只是一只猫头鹰。奥迪尔知道这一点，于是离开了他。他一定是跟着她来的。” “哦，是的，爸爸，他是如此英俊！”你应该看看他的脸！” “安静!” 巫师把自己变成了一个巨大的石球。 他一头撞在墙上，城堡再次摇晃起来。 奥迪尔独自一人在房间里，感到城堡在摇晃。 她把头藏在床上的枕头下面；她讨厌巫师生气的样子。 巫师回到自己的房间里变回了自己。 “爸爸，你答应过要为我做点什么。” “我从来没有答应过你什么！” “哦,爸爸。我想去参加舞会！我想嫁给王子。” 巫师又愤怒地举起了手。 然后，他想到了一件事。 慢慢地，他把手放下来。 “你想去参加舞会，是吗？” “噢，是的，爸爸！” “你愿意嫁给王子吗？” “是的，我愿意。” 然后你会，他会认为你是奥迪尔。” “噢，爸爸，多好的主意啊！” 她搂着他。 他的身体冷得像石头，眼睛里充满了火焰。
