故事原文 

Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp L11

阿拉丁和神灯 L11

In the evening Aladdin and his friends finished hunting and began to go home.⑴ Suddenly a friend said: ‘Aladdin, look! The Sultan's men are coming, with swords in their hands. What do they want?’

傍晚时分，阿拉丁和他的朋友们打完猎正往回走。突然一个朋友喊道：“阿拉丁，快看！苏丹的武士们来了，手里都拿着刀剑。他们想干什么？”

 

‘I don't know,’ Aladdin answered.  

“我不知道啊。”阿拉丁答道。

When the Sultan’s men arrived, they said: ‘Aladdin, we must take you to the Sultan. He’s very angry.’

武士们走近之后，说道：“阿拉丁，我们必须把你带到苏丹那里，他非常生气。”

‘Why?’ asked Aladdin, but the men could not tell him.  

“为什么？”阿拉丁诧异道，但武士们也回答不上来。

In his palace the Sultan took Aladdin to a window. ‘Where is your palace?’ he cried angrily. ‘And where is my daughter? Answer me!’

在王宫里，苏丹把阿拉丁带到窗前。“你的宫殿到哪儿去了？”他愤怒地喊道，“我的女儿到哪儿去了？赶快回答我！”

Aladdin looked out of the window. There was only the ground and the sky—no palace, no gardens, nothing. He closed his eyes, opened them and looked again, and he had no answer for the Sultan.⑵

阿拉丁向窗外望去。他只能看到地面和天空——没有宫殿、没有花园，什么都没有。他使劲眨了眨眼睛再看，还是没有。对苏丹他无言以对。

‘It's black magic. I always said that,’  the Vizier said quietly in the Sultan’s ear.  

“那是巫术。我一直是这么说的。”大臣对苏丹耳语道。

‘Your Majesty.’ Aladdin put his head at the Sultan’s feet. ‘Kill me now—I do not want to live without Badr-al-Budur.’⑶ There were tears in his eyes.

“陛下，”阿拉丁俯在苏丹的脚前，“现在就杀了我吧——没有白狄仑·布杜鲁公主我也不想活了！”他的眼里噙满了泪水。

 ‘Find her in forty days—or you die,’ the Sultan said.

“限你在 40 天之内找到她——不然你就死定了。”苏丹说。

‘I hear and obey, Your Majesty,’ Aladdin answered.

“遵命，陛下。”阿拉丁答道。 

But without his magic lamp, what could Aladdin do? He went out from the city, and looked and looked for his wife and his palace, but of course he did not find them. After thirty seven days he sat by a river and cried: ‘Oh, Badr-al-Budur, my love!⑷ Where are you? Where can I look now?’ He put his hands into the water of the river, and then he saw the magician’s ring on his little finger. He began to rub it…

但没有神灯，阿拉丁能做什么呢？他出了城找啊找啊，找她的妻子和宫殿，但他当然是找不到。 37天过去了，他坐在一条河边无助地哭喊道：“哦，白狄仑·布杜鲁公主啊，我的至爱！你在哪儿呢？让我到哪儿去找你呢？”他说着把手伸进了河水里，这时他看到了小指上魔法师给的戒指。他连忙伸手去擦拭……

WHOOSH! Out of the blue smoke came the jinnee of the ring. ‘What is your wish, master?’ he asked.

呼啦！戒指神从蓝色的烟雾里现了出来。“你有什么愿望，主人？”他问道。

‘Find my wife and bring her back to me,’ answered Aladdin. ‘Please…’

“找到我妻子并把她带回来，”阿拉丁答道，“求你了……”

‘Master, I cannot do that. The jinnee of the lamp took the Princess away, and only the jinnee of the lamp can bring her back. But I can take you to her.’

“主人，我做不到。是灯神把公主带走的，也只有灯神能够把她带回来。不过我可以把你带到公主那儿去。”

‘Take me then—quickly!’

“那就带我去——赶快！”

‘To hear is to obey.’

“听到就得遵从。”

It is many, many miles from Arabia to Morocco, but Aladdin was there in a second. And there was his palace, in front of him. He went into the gardens and looked up at the windows.⑸

从阿拉伯到摩洛哥相隔千山万水，但阿拉丁刹那之间就到了。他的宫殿就在他面前。他走进花园里，抬头往窗户里看去。
