第5章 公主和豌豆 The Princess and the Pea（2 / 2）

所以他又回家了，很伤心，因为他非常希望能有一位真正的公主。

So he ca ho aga and was sad, for he would have liked very uch to have a real prcess.

一天晚上，一场可怕的暴风雨来临了；

one eveng a terrible stor ;

有雷电交加，大雨倾盆而下。

there was thunder and lightng, and the ra poured downtorrents.

突然，听到城门处传来敲门声，老国王去开门。

Suddenly a knog was heard at the city gate, and the old kio open it.

是一位公主站在城门外。

It rcess standg out therefront of the gate.

但是，天哪！风雨把她弄成了什么样子啊。

but, good gracio! what a sight the ra and the d had ade her look.

雨水从她的头发和衣服上流淌下来；

the water ran down fro her hair and clothes;

流进她鞋子的脚趾部分，又从鞋跟处流出来。

it ran down to the toes of her shoes and out aga at the heels.

然而她说她是一位真正的公主。

A she said that she was a real prcess.

“嗯，我们很快就会弄清楚的，” 老王后想。

“well, we’ll soon fd that out,” thought the old queen.

但她什么也没说，走进卧室，把床架上的所有被褥都拿掉，在床板上放了一颗豌豆；

but she said nothg, went to the bed - roo, took all the beddg off the bedstead, and id a pea oto;

然后她拿了二十个床垫放在豌豆上，又在床垫上放了二十床鸭绒被。

theook enty attresses and id the on the pea, and they eider - down beds onof the attresses.

公主就得在这上面躺一整晚。

on this the prcess had to lie all night.

早晨有人问她睡得怎么样。

In theshe was asked how she had slept.

“哦，糟透了！” 她说。

“oh, very badly!” said she.

“我整晚几乎都没合眼。

“I have scarcely closed y eyes all night.

天知道床上有什么东西，但我正躺在一个硬东西上，弄得我浑身青一块紫一块的。

heaven only knows what wasthe bed, but I was lyg on sothg hard, so that I a bd be all over y body.

太可怕了！”

It’s horrible!”

现在他们知道她是一位真正的公主了，因为她隔着二十个床垫和二十床鸭绒被还能感觉到豌豆。

Now they khat she was a real prcess becae she had felt the pea right through the enty attresses and the enty eider - down beds.

除了真正的公主，没有人会这么敏感。

Nobody but a real prcess uld be as sensitive as that.

于是王子娶她为妻，因为现在他知道自己有了一位真正的公主；

So the priook her for his wife, for now he khat he had a real prcess;

而那颗豌豆被放进了博物馆，如果没人偷走的话，现在还能看到它。

and the pea utthe eu, where it ay still be seen, if no one has stolen it.

瞧，这是一个真实的故事。

there, that is a true story.
