少儿英语图书:青蛙王子(双语)
The next day when she had seated herself at table with the King and all the courtiers, and was eating from her little golden plate, something came creeping splish splash, splish splash, up the marble staircase, and when it had got to the top, it knocked at the door and cried, "Princess, youngest princess, open the door for me." She ran to see who was outside, but when she opened the door, there sat the frog in front of it. Then she slammed the door to, in great haste, sat down to dinner again, and was quite frightened. The King saw plainly that her heart was beating violently, and said, "My child, what art thou so afraid of? Is there perchance a giant outside who wants to carry thee away?" "Ah, no," replied she. "It is no giant but a disgusting frog."
第二天,小公主跟国王和大臣们刚刚坐上餐桌,才开始用她的小金碟进餐,突然听见啪啦啪啦的声音。随着声响,有个什么东西顺着大理石台阶往上跳,到了门口时,便一边敲门一边大声嚷嚷:“小公主,快开门!”听到喊声,小公主急忙跑到门口,想看看是谁在门外喊叫。打开门一看,原来是那只青蛙,正蹲在门前。小公主见是青蛙,猛然把门关上,转身赶紧回到座位,心里害怕极了。国王发现小公主一副心慌意乱的样子,就问她:“孩子,你怎么会吓成这个子?该不是门外有个巨人要把你抓走吧?”“啊,不是的,”小公主回答说,“不是什么巨人,而是一只讨厌的青蛙。”
