The Magic Harp
神奇的豎琴
After this, Jack and his mother had all the money they wanted. But the lad remembered the story which the fairy had told him. He could not forget the magic harp.
在這之后，杰克和他媽媽得到了他們想要的錢。但是小男孩仍記得仙女告訴他的故事。他不能忘了神奇的豎琴。
"Mother," he said one day, "I must go back to the castle and get my father's harp."
有一天，他對媽媽說：“媽媽，我必須回到城堡拿到爸爸的豎琴。”
So the boy climbed the beanstalk and went to the castle a second time.
于是男孩爬上仙豆，第二次來到了城堡。
The giant's wife did not know that this was the same lad who had taken the magic hen, for Jack was much taller now. So she let him in again, and when she heard the giant coming, she hid the lad in the cupboard.
巨人妻子不知道他就是那個拿走魔法母雞的小家伙，因為杰克現(xiàn)在長高了。于是她再次讓他進(jìn)去。她聽到巨人回來時，把男孩藏在了碗柜里。
The giant came into the house. "I smell a boy," he roared in his deep, gruff voice.
巨人進(jìn)了房子。他用粗啞低沉的聲音咆哮著說：“我聞到了男孩的味道。”。
"You smell only the fat sheep I have cooked for you," said his wife. "You are hungry. Sit down and eat your dinner".
“你聞到的是我為你烹制的肥羊味，”他的妻子說，“你餓了，坐下吃飯吧。”
After the giant had finished eating, he roared, "Wife, bring the magic harp!"
巨人吃完飯后，嚷道：“老婆，把豎琴拿來！”
The woman carried in a beautiful harp with strings of gold.
女人拿來了帶著金弦的漂亮豎琴。
"Harp," said the giant, "play for me!"
“豎琴，”巨人說，“為我演奏！”
At once the sound of soft, sweet music filled the air. Never had Jack heard such wonderful music. He wanted more than ever to get the magic harp.
輕柔甜美的音樂立即充斥了空氣。杰克從未聽過如此美妙的音樂。他比以往任何時候都更渴望得到豎琴。
The giant listened for a long time. At last he fell fast asleep in his chair.
巨人聽了很久。最后，他在椅子上睡著了。
While the giant slept, the boy crept quietly out of the cupboard and took the harp in his arms. But as he ran through the castle door, the harp called out, "Master! Master! Wake up! Wake up! Save me! Save me!"
巨人睡著時，小男孩悄悄從碗柜里爬出來，把豎琴抱在懷里。但當(dāng)他跑過城堡的門時，豎琴喊道：“主人！主人！醒醒！醒醒！救我！救我！”
Up jumped the giant. He ran after Jack faster than the wind. But as he ran, the giant fell over a stone. Before he could get up, Jack was at the bottom of the beanstalk.
巨人跳起來。他追趕杰克的速度比風(fēng)還快。但他奔跑時，被石頭絆倒了。在他起身前，杰克到了仙豆底部。
"Mother! Mother!" cried the lad. "Quick! Bring me the ax!"
“媽媽！媽媽！”小男孩叫道。“快點兒給我拿把斧子！”
His mother handed the ax to Jack. Quickly he took the ax and cut down the beanstalk.
他的媽媽把斧子遞給他。他快速拿了斧子把仙豆砍倒。
Over it fell, and Jack was safe!
仙豆一倒，杰克就安全了！
Just then he saw the fairy standing beside him.
就在這時，他看到了站在他身邊的仙女。
"You are a brave boy," she said. "Now you and your mother will always be rich and plenty of everything."
“你是個勇敢地孩子，”她說，“現(xiàn)在，你和你媽媽永遠(yuǎn)都會富有，擁有一切。”
