爱德华的奇妙之旅 双语 第四章 01

"从前有一位非常美丽的公主，它就像没有月亮的夜空中的繁星一样闪闪发光。可是她长得美丽，有什么用呢...

Once there was a princess whowas very beautiful. She shone as bright as the stars on a moonless night. Butwhat difference did it make that she was beautiful? None. No difference.”

“why did it make nodifference?” asked Abilene.

“Because,” said Pellegrinal,“she was a princess who loved no one and cared nothing for love, even though therewere many who loved her.”

At this point in her story,Pelletrina stopped and looked right at Edward. She stared deep into hispainted-on eyes, and again, Edward felt a shiver go through him.

“And so, “ said pellegrina,still staring at Edward.

“What happened to theprincess?” said Abilene.

“And so, “ said Pellegrina,turning back to Abilene, “ the king, her father, said that the princess mustmarry; and soon after this , a prince came from a neighboring kingdom and hesaw the princess and, immediately, he loved her. He gave her a ring of pure gold.He placed it on her finger. He said these words to her:” I love you.” But doyou know what the princess did?”

Abilene shook her head.
