There was once a poor Prince, who had a kingdom. His kingdom was very small, but still quite large enough to marry upon; and he wished to marry.
从前有一位贫穷的王子，他有一个王国。他的王国非常 小，但仍然足够大，可以结婚；他希望 结婚。
It was certainly rather cool of him to say to the Emperor's daughter, “Will you have me?” But so he did; for his name was renowned far and wide; and there were a hundred princesses who would have answered, “Yes!” and “Thank you kindly.” We shall see what this princess said.
他对皇帝的女儿说： “你愿意接受我吗？”但他确实这么做了；因为他的名字远近闻名 宽；有一百位公主会回答： “是啊！”和“谢谢你。”我们看看这位公主怎么说。
Listen!
听！
It happened that where the Prince's father lay buried, there grew a rose tree--a most beautiful rose tree, which blossomed only once in every five years, and even then bore only one flower, but that was a rose! It smelt so sweet that all cares and sorrows were forgotten by him who inhaled its fragrance.
碰巧王子父亲埋葬的地方长着一朵玫瑰花 树——一棵最美丽的玫瑰树，每年只开一次花 五年了，即便如此，也只开出一朵花，但那是一朵玫瑰！ 闻起来如此香甜，让他忘记了所有的忧愁和悲伤。 吸入了它的香气。
And furthermore, the Prince had a nightingale, who could sing in such a manner that it seemed as though all sweet melodies dwelt in her little throat. So the Princess was to have the rose, and the nightingale; and they were accordingly put into large silver caskets, and sent to her.
而且，王子还有一只夜莺，能用这样的声音唱歌。 仿佛所有甜美的旋律都驻留在她小小的身体里 喉咙。于是公主得到了玫瑰和夜莺；和 因此，它们被放入大银匣子中，并发送给她。
The Emperor had them brought into a large hall, where the Princess was playing at “Visiting,” with the ladies of the court; and when she saw the caskets with the presents, she clapped her hands for joy.
皇帝命人把他们带进一个大殿，公主就在那里。 与宫廷贵妇们一起玩“拜访”；当她看到 带着礼物的棺材，她高兴地拍手。
“Ah, if it were but a little pussy-cat!” said she; but the rose tree, with its beautiful rose came to view.
“啊，要是一只小猫咪就好了！”她说；但玫瑰树， 带着美丽的玫瑰出现了。
“Oh, how prettily it is made!” said all the court ladies.
“噢，它做得多么漂亮啊！”宫女们齐声说道。
“It is more than pretty,” said the Emperor, “it is charming!”
皇帝说：“这不仅仅是美丽，更是迷人！”
But the Princess touched it, and was almost ready to cry.
但公主一摸它，就快要哭了。
“Fie, papa!” said she. “It is not made at all, it is natural!”
“呸，爸爸！”她说。 “这根本不是人造的，是自然的！”
“Let us see what is in the other casket, before we get into a bad humor,” said the Emperor. So the nightingale came forth and sang so delightfully that at first no one could say anything ill-humored of her.
“在我们陷入困境之前，让我们看看另一个棺材里有什么。 幽默，”皇帝说。于是夜莺就出来唱了 令人高兴的是，一开始没有人说她有什么坏脾气。
“Superbe! Charmant!” exclaimed the ladies; for they all used to chatter French, each one worse than her neighbor.
“太棒了！迷人！”女士们惊呼道；因为他们都习惯喋喋不休 法国人，每个人都比她的邻居差。
“How much the bird reminds me of the musical box that belonged to our blessed Empress,” said an old knight. “Oh yes! These are the same tones, the same execution.”
“这只鸟让我多么想起属于我们的音乐盒 “皇后陛下。”一位老骑士说道。 “哦，是的！这些是相同的音调， 同样的处决。”
“Yes! yes!” said the Emperor, and he wept like a child at the remembrance.
“是啊！是啊！”皇帝说道，他像个孩子一样哭了起来。 纪念。
“I will still hope that it is not a real bird,” said the Princess.
“我仍然希望这不是一只真正的鸟，”公主说。
“Yes, it is a real bird,” said those who had brought it. “Well then let the bird fly,” said the Princess; and she positively refused to see the Prince.
“是的，这是一只真正的鸟，”带来它的人说。 “那么让 “鸟儿飞了。”公主说道。她断然拒绝见 王子。
However, he was not to be discouraged; he daubed his face over brown and black; pulled his cap over his ears, and knocked at the door.
然而，他并没有灰心；他在脸上涂抹了棕色和 黑色；把帽子拉到耳朵上，敲了敲门。
“Good day to my lord, the Emperor!” said he. “Can I have employment at the palace?”
“陛下，皇帝陛下，您好！”他说。 “我可以在 皇宫？”
“Why, yes,” said the Emperor. “I want some one to take care of the pigs, for we have a great many of them.”
“为什么，是的，”皇帝说。 “我想要有人照顾这些猪， 因为我们有很多这样的人。”
So the Prince was appointed “Imperial Swineherd.” He had a dirty little room close by the pigsty; and there he sat the whole day, and worked. By the evening he had made a pretty little kitchen-pot. Little bells were hung all round it; and when the pot was boiling, these bells tinkled in the most charming manner, and played the old melody,
于是，王子被任命为“帝国猪倌”。他有一个肮脏的小 靠近猪圈的房间；他整天坐在那里工作。由 那天晚上，他做了一个漂亮的小厨房锅。小铃铛是 挂在它周围；当锅沸腾时，这些铃声叮当作响 以最迷人的姿态，奏响古老的旋律，
“Ach! du lieber Augustin, Alles ist weg, weg, weg!”*
“啊！奥古斯丁， 一切都是我们，我们，我们！”*
“Ah! dear Augustine! All is gone, gone, gone!”
*“啊！亲爱的奥古斯丁！ 一切都过去了，过去了，过去了！”
But what was still more curious, whoever held his finger in the smoke of the kitchen-pot, immediately smelt all the dishes that were cooking on every hearth in the city--this, you see, was something quite different from the rose.
但更奇怪的是，无论是谁将手指放在烟雾中 厨房的锅里，立刻就闻到了所有正在煮的菜的味道 城市里的每一个壁炉——你看，这是完全不同的东西 来自玫瑰。
Now the Princess happened to walk that way; and when she heard the tune, she stood quite still, and seemed pleased; for she could play “Lieber Augustine”; it was the only piece she knew; and she played it with one finger.
现在公主正好走过那条路。当她听到这首曲子时， 她一动不动地站着，看上去很高兴。因为她可以演奏“利伯 奥古斯丁”；这是她唯一知道的作品；她用一个玩 手指。
“Why there is my piece,” said the Princess. “That swineherd must certainly have been well educated! Go in and ask him the price of the instrument.”
“为什么会有我的作品呢？”公主说道。 “那个猪倌一定 当然受过良好的教育！进去问他价格 仪器。”
So one of the court-ladies must run in; however, she drew on wooden slippers first.
因此，必须有一位宫女跑进来；然而，她画的是木头 先穿拖鞋。
“What will you take for the kitchen-pot?” said the lady.
“你要拿什么当厨房的锅？”那位女士说。
“I will have ten kisses from the Princess,” said the swineherd.
“我会得到公主的十个吻。”猪倌说道。
“Yes, indeed!” said the lady.
“是的，确实如此！”那位女士说。
“I cannot sell it for less,” rejoined the swineherd.
“我不能以更低的价格出售它，”猪倌回答道。
“He is an impudent fellow!” said the Princess, and she walked on; but when she had gone a little way, the bells tinkled so prettily
“他是一个无礼的家伙！”公主说道，然后继续往前走。但是 当她走了一小段路时，铃声叮当作响，非常动听
“Ach! du lieber Augustin, Alles ist weg, weg, weg!”
“啊！奥古斯丁， 一切都是我们，我们，我们！”
“Stay,” said the Princess. “Ask him if he will have ten kisses from the ladies of my court.”
“留下来吧，”公主说。 “问他是否愿意接受十个吻” 我宫里的女士们。”
“No, thank you!” said the swineherd. “Ten kisses from the Princess, or I keep the kitchen-pot myself.”
“不用了，谢谢！”猪倌说。 “公主的十个吻，否则我 厨房的锅我自己留着。”
“That must not be, either!” said the Princess. “But do you all stand before me that no one may see us.”
“那也不行！”公主说。 “但是你们都站起来吗？ 在我面前，以免任何人看到我们。”
And the court-ladies placed themselves in front of her, and spread out their dresses--the swineherd got ten kisses, and the Princess--the kitchen-pot.
宫女们来到她面前，散开 脱掉他们的衣服——猪倌得到了十个吻，而公主—— 厨房锅。
That was delightful! The pot was boiling the whole evening, and the whole of the following day. They knew perfectly well what was cooking at every fire throughout the city, from the chamberlain's to the cobbler's; the court-ladies danced and clapped their hands.
那真是令人愉快！整个晚上锅里都沸腾了 第二天一整天。他们非常清楚正在煮什么 整个城市的每一场火灾，从内侍的到鞋匠的； 宫女们一边跳舞一边拍手。
“We know who has soup, and who has pancakes for dinner to-day, who has cutlets, and who has eggs. How interesting!”
“我们知道今天晚餐谁喝汤、谁吃煎饼、谁吃了 炸肉排，谁有鸡蛋。多么有趣啊！
“Yes, but keep my secret, for I am an Emperor's daughter.”
“是的，但是请保守秘密，因为我是皇帝的女儿。”
The swineherd--that is to say--the Prince, for no one knew that he was other than an ill-favored swineherd, let not a day pass without working at something; he at last constructed a rattle, which, when it was swung round, played all the waltzes and jig tunes, which have ever been heard since the creation of the world.
猪倌——也就是说——王子，因为没有人知道他是 除了不受欢迎的猪倌之外，不允许一天不工作 在某事上；他最终制作了一个拨浪鼓，当它被摆动时 圆舞曲，演奏了所有听过的华尔兹和吉格曲调 自创世以来。
“Ah, that is superbe!” said the Princess when she passed by. “I have never heard prettier compositions! Go in and ask him the price of the instrument; but mind, he shall have no more kisses!”
“啊，那真是太棒了！”公主经过时说道。 “我有 从未听过更漂亮的作品！进去问他价格 仪器；但请注意，他不能再接吻了！”
“He will have a hundred kisses from the Princess!” said the lady who had been to ask.
“他将会得到公主的一百个吻！”那位女士说 去过问。
“I think he is not in his right senses!” said the Princess, and walked on, but when she had gone a little way, she stopped again. “One must encourage art,” said she, “I am the Emperor's daughter. Tell him he shall, as on yesterday, have ten kisses from me, and may take the rest from the ladies of the court.”
“我觉得他脑子不太正常！”公主说道，然后走了过去。 但当她走了一段路时，她又停了下来。 “一个必须 鼓励艺术，”她说，“我是皇帝的女儿。告诉他他 将会像昨天一样，从我这里得到十个吻，并且可以接受剩下的 来自宫廷里的女士们。”
“Oh--but we should not like that at all!” said they. “What are you muttering?” asked the Princess. “If I can kiss him, surely you can. Remember that you owe everything to me.” So the ladies were obliged to go to him again.
“哦——但我们根本不应该喜欢那样！”他们说。 “你是什么？ 嘟哝着？”公主问道。 “如果我能吻他，你也一定能。 请记住，你的一切都是我的。”所以女士们有义务 再去找他吧。
“A hundred kisses from the Princess,” said he, “or else let everyone keep his own!”
“公主一百个吻，”他说，“否则就让大家 留着他自己的！”
“Stand round!” said she; and all the ladies stood round her whilst the kissing was going on.
“站起来！”她说；所有的女士们都站在她周围，而 接吻正在进行中。
“What can be the reason for such a crowd close by the pigsty?” said the Emperor, who happened just then to step out on the balcony; he rubbed his eyes, and put on his spectacles. “They are the ladies of the court; I must go down and see what they are about!” So he pulled up his slippers at the heel, for he had trodden them down.
“猪圈附近这么多人，到底是什么原因？”说 皇帝，恰巧走到阳台上；他擦 他的眼睛，并戴上眼镜。 “她们是 法庭；我得下去看看他们到底是怎么回事！”于是他拉起了他的 鞋跟是拖鞋，因为他把它们踩倒了。
As soon as he had got into the court-yard, he moved very softly, and the ladies were so much engrossed with counting the kisses, that all might go on fairly, that they did not perceive the Emperor. He rose on his tiptoes.
他一进院子，动作就很轻， 女士们全神贯注地数着亲吻的次数，以至于所有人都可能 公平地说，他们没有察觉到皇帝。他站起来 踮起脚尖。
“What is all this?” said he, when he saw what was going on, and he boxed the Princess's ears with his slipper, just as the swineherd was taking the eighty-sixth kiss.
“这是什么？”当他看到发生的事情时，他说道，然后他拳击了 就在猪倌正在抓着公主的耳朵时，他用拖鞋 第八十六个吻。
“March out!” said the Emperor, for he was very angry; and both Princess and swineherd were thrust out of the city.
“出去吧！”皇帝非常生气，说道。和两位公主 猪倌也被赶出了城。
The Princess now stood and wept, the swineherd scolded, and the rain poured down.
公主现在站着哭泣，猪倌在责骂，雨也下起来了。 倾泻而下。
“Alas! Unhappy creature that I am!” said the Princess. “If I had but married the handsome young Prince! Ah! how unfortunate I am!”
“唉！我真是个不幸的人！”公主说。 “如果我有但是 娶了年轻英俊的王子！啊！我是多么不幸啊！”
And the swineherd went behind a tree, washed the black and brown color from his face, threw off his dirty clothes, and stepped forth in his princely robes; he looked so noble that the Princess could not help bowing before him.
猪倌走到一棵树后面，清洗了黑色和棕色的颜色 从他的脸上，脱掉脏衣服，迈着他的步子向前走去。 王子的长袍；他看上去高贵得让公主忍不住 在他面前鞠躬。
“I am come to despise thee,” said he. “Thou would'st not have an honorable Prince! Thou could'st not prize the rose and the nightingale, but thou wast ready to kiss the swineherd for the sake of a trumpery plaything. Thou art rightly served.”
“我是来鄙视你的，”他说。 “你不会有一个 尊贵的王子！你不可能不珍惜玫瑰和夜莺， 但你已经准备好为了一个喇叭而亲吻猪倌了 玩物。你得到了正确的服务。”
He then went back to his own little kingdom, and shut the door of his palace in her face. Now she might well sing,
然后他回到了自己的小王国，关上了自己的门。 宫殿在她的脸上。现在她可能会唱歌，
“Ach! du lieber Augustin, Alles ist weg, weg, weg!”
“啊！奥古斯丁， 一切都是我们，我们，我们！”
