前情提要 

阿拉丁沿着地下的路走，真的来到了一个花园，在一棵树下找到了油灯，还摘了不少果子带了回来。阿巴那扎尔看到阿拉丁回来，赶忙催他交出油灯，但灯被压在了阿拉丁口袋的下面，一时拿不出来。阿巴那扎尔一怒之下念咒把阿拉丁关在了漆黑的地底下，幸好阿拉丁召唤了戒指里的精灵，才得以脱身。回到家后的阿拉丁又将遇到什么呢？

故事原文 

Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp L5

阿拉丁和神灯 L5

Aladdin closed his eyes and slept for many hours. The next morning he opened his eyes and said, ‘Mother, I’m hungry!’

阿拉丁闭上眼睛睡了好久好久。第二天早上他睁开眼睛就说：“妈妈，我好饿！”

‘My son, I’m sorry,’ she said. ‘We have no rice or meat in the house. We have nothing. I must sell your new coat and get some rice with the money.’

“儿子，我很难过，”她说，“咱们家里没有米也没有肉，什么也没有。我必须把你的衣服卖掉去买些米来。”

Then Aladdin remembered the lamp from the garden.

这时阿拉丁想起了从花园里拿来的灯。

‘Wait a minute, Mother,’ he said, ‘Take this lamp and sell that first.’⑴⑵⑶

“等一下，妈妈，”他说，“先把这盏灯拿去卖了吧。”

‘That dirty old thing?’ Aladdin’s mother said. ‘I must clean it first,’ She began to rub it and…

“那个脏兮兮的旧东西？ ” 阿拉丁的母亲说，“我得先把它擦干净。”她开始擦拭……

WHOOSH! Noise, fire, and red smoke came from the lamp, and out of the smoke came a very big jinnee.

呼啦！声音、火焰、红色的烟雾同时从油灯里冒了出来，烟雾里现出一个巨大的神灵。

‘I am the slave of the lamp,’ cried the jinnee. ‘What is your wish, mistress?’

“我是这盏灯的奴仆，”神灵喊道，“你有什么愿望，夫人？”

Aladdin’s mother was afraid and could not speak, but Aladdin said, ‘Bring rice and meat to us. We are hungry.’

阿拉丁的母亲吓得说不出话来，这时阿拉丁说：“给我们弄些米和肉来，我们很饿了。”

The jinnee went away, and came back in a second with rice, meat, bread and fruit on twelve gold plates. He put the plates in front of them and went away.

神灵走开了，转瞬间就用12个金盘子装着米、肉、面包和水果回来了。他把盘子放在他们面前就消失了。

Aladdin and his mother ate and ate. Then Aladdin took one of the plates to the market and sold it for two pieces of gold.

阿拉丁和他母亲大吃了一顿。吃完后阿拉丁就拿着其中的一个盘子到市场上卖了两枚金币。

Every day after that, Aladdin rubbed the lamp. And when the jinnee came, Aladdin said, ‘Bring us rice and meat.’ And every day he sold the gold plates.

从那以后，阿拉丁每天都擦拭神灯。等神灵来了以后，阿拉丁就说：“给我们拿米和肉来。”每天他都把金盘子卖掉。

Soon, Aladdin and his mother were rich.

阿拉丁和母亲很快就变得富有起来。
