His new wife brought two daughters into the house
新妻子帶著她以前生的兩個女兒一起來安家了
Their faces were beautiful in lily to white but their hearts were ugly and black
她們如百合般美麗但是內心卻非常丑陋 邪惡
So as we talked the other day you know, a better message
在其他時候 只要我們說到 為了更好的表達
you know, in other words,instead of people being bad like in Disney because they're ugly,
要知道 換個話說 不像在迪斯尼故事里 壞人都很丑
here it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside
在這里 你的內心和外表無關
that's one premise I always hope people treat me on but, rather, what you're like on the inside
我總是希望人們能像那樣對待我 但是 通常你們的做法都與之相反
That was the beginning of a bad time for the poor stepchild
這個可憐的繼女的厄運就此開始了
"Why should this silly goose sit in the parlor with us," they said"
要這樣一個沒用的飯桶在廳堂里干什么"
"People who want to eat bread must earn it"
誰想吃上面包 就得自己去掙
Go into the kitchen where you belong"
滾到廚房里做女傭去吧"
They took away her fine clothes and gave her an old gray dress and wooden shoes to wear
他們脫去她漂亮的衣裳 給她換上灰色的舊外套和木鞋
"Look at the haughty princess in her finery," they cried, and, laughing, led her to the kitchen
"看看 這個高傲的公主穿得多華麗" 他們說笑著把她趕到廚房去了
From then on she had to do all the work:
從那時起她要承擔所有的家務
Getting up before daybreak, carrying water, lighting fires,cooking and washing
每天天不亮就起來擔水 生火 做飯 洗衣
In addition, the sisters did everything they could to plague her
而且 姐姐們還無所不用其極地折磨她
They jeered at her and poured peas and lentils into the ashes so that she had to sit there picking them out
她們戲弄她 把豌豆和扁豆倒到灰里 她不得不坐在那兒把它們撿起來
At night, when she was tired out with work, she had no bed to sleep in and had to lie in the ashes by the hearth
到了晚上 她累得筋疲力盡 連睡覺的床鋪都沒有 不得不睡在爐灶旁邊的灰燼中
And thus they took to calling her Ashputtle because she always looked dusty and dirty
因此她們都叫她灰姑娘因為她看起來總是臟兮兮的滿身是土
Now remember, like the point of almost everything for Arthur's education,
現在記住 這和亞瑟的教育非常相似
the point of these stories is usually deductive; they're supposed to teach you something
這些故事通常都有教育意義 他們通常會告訴你一些東西
And the basic moral of these things,we hope is the moral for Arthur, is what
而且所有故事的基本寓意 亞瑟的寓意 是什么
Goodness is rewarded and evil is punished
懲惡揚善
And how do we usually punish evil in lore, in folk material
我們在故事和民間傳說里通常會怎樣懲惡
