故事原文 

Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp L12

阿拉丁和神灯 L12

‘Badral-Budur,’ he cried, ‘are you there?’

“白狄仑·布杜鲁，”他喊道，“你在那儿吗？” 

In the palace Badr-al-Budur heard him. ‘Is that Aladdin?’ she thought. ‘But he is far away in Arabia.’⑴ She went to the window, opened it, and looked out.

正在里面的公主听到了他的声音。“是阿拉丁吗？”她想，“可他在遥远的阿拉伯啊。”她走到窗前，打开窗户向外看去。

‘Aladdin!’ she cried. ‘Oh, my love!’

“阿拉丁！”她叫了起来，“哦，亲爱的！” 

For the first time in many days, Aladdin smiled.⑵

这么多天来，阿拉丁第一次露出了笑容。

‘Come up, quickly!’ the Princess called. ‘The magician is not here now.’

“快上来！”公主喊道，“魔法师现在不在这儿。”

Her slave-girl ran down and opened a little door into the gardens. Aladdin ran up to the Princess's rooms, and in a second she was in his arms.⑶

她的婢女跑下去打开了通往花园的一扇小门。阿拉丁跑到公主的房间里，公主马上扑到了他的怀里。

‘Oh, my love,’ the Princess said. ‘A bad man carried me here. A magician. His name is—’

“哦，我心爱的，”公主说道，“一个坏蛋把我带到了这里。他是个魔法师，名字叫——”

‘His name is Abanazar and I am going to kill him,’ said Aladdin. ‘Tell me—does he have my old lamp?’

“他叫阿巴那扎尔，我要宰了他。”阿拉丁说，“告诉我——他拿了我的旧油灯了吗？”

‘Yes,’ Badr-al-Budur said. ‘He always carries it with him. I know about its magic now, because he told me. Oh, why did I give it away?’⑷

“是的，”公主答道，“他总是把它带在身边。我现在知道它具有魔力了，因为魔法师跟我说了。天呐，我为什么要把它送给别人呢？”

‘Listen, my love,’ said Aladdin. ‘I'm going to give you some sleeping-powder.⑸ When he comes here again, you must give him a drink and put the powder in it.⑹ When he is asleep, I can kill him. Don’t be afraid. I'm going to take you home very soon. Now for some good magic.’

“听着，亲爱的，”阿拉丁说，“我要给你一些催眠药粉。他回来以后，你必须向他敬一杯酒，并且把药粉放在里面。等他睡熟后，我就能杀死他了。千万别害怕。我很快就会带你回家。现在我来使一个小魔法。” 

He began to rub his ring...

他伸手去擦拭戒指……

WHOOSH! ‘What is your wish, master?’ said the jinnee of the ring.

呼啦！“你有什么愿望，主人？”戒指神问道。

‘Bring me some sleeping-powder,’ said Aladdin.

“给我找些催眠粉来。”阿拉丁说。

‘To hear is to obey.’

“听到就得遵从。”

In a second the jinnee was back with some sleeping-powder. Then Aladdin and the Princess waited for Abanazar.

很快，戒指神就弄来一些催眠药粉。阿拉丁和公主一起等着阿巴那扎尔的归来。
