The shape you saw me in was caused by the ill will of a stronger King,
我之所以變成這樣是一名更加強大國王的憎惡造成的，
from whose enchantments you have this instant freed me.
你所擁有的魅力立馬將我從他的手中釋放出來。
What I have seen of you and your conduct toward your wicked brothers makes me willing to serve you;
我所看到的你，以及你對兩個邪惡哥哥的做法讓我愿意為你服務；
therefore, attend to what I tell you. Whoever shall climb to the top of that mountain from which you see the Golden River springing forth,
所以，認真聽我對你講的，誰愿意爬上最高峰，你可以在最高峰看到噴涌的金河，
and shall cast into the stream at its source three drops of holy water, for him, and for him only,
并在河流源泉滴下三滴圣水，且為他，僅為他而做，
the river shall turn to gold. But no one failing in his first attempt can succeed in a second;
那么這條河將變成黃金，但那些第一次失敗的人還沒在第二次成功過。
and if anyone shall cast unholy water into the river, he will become a black stone.
如果有人在河里灑下了不純潔的水，那么他將變成黑石頭。
So saying, the King of the Golden River turned away and deliberately walked into the center of the hottest flame of the furnace.
一邊說，金河國王一邊轉過去，故意向熔爐火焰的中心處走去。
His figure became red, white, dazzling, a blaze of light, rose, trembled, and disappeared. The King of the Golden River had evaporated.
他變成了紅色，白色，變成了一團火，變成了玫瑰，顫抖著，最后消失了，金河國王蒸發了。
Oh! cried poor Gluck, running to look up the chimney after him; oh, dear, dear, dear me! My mug! my mug! my mug!
格拉克叫嚷到哦，隨后跟著他跑向煙囪向里看，老天，老天啊，我的杯子，我的杯子，杯子！
Chapter Three HOW HANS AND SCHWARTZ JOURNEYED TO THE GOLDEN RIVER
第三章，漢斯和施瓦茲的金河之旅
The King of the Golden River had hardly disappeared before Hans and Schwartz came roaring into the house very drunk.
在漢斯和施瓦茲醉醺醺地闖入房間之前，金河國王還沒有完全消失，
The discovery of the total loss of their last piece of gold made them just sober enough to be able to stand over Gluck,
他們發現最后一片黃金消失后他們清醒了，足可以讓他們監視格拉克，
beating him very steadily for a quarter of an hour.
格拉克被暴打25分鐘。
Then they dropped into a couple of chairs and requested to know what he had got to say for himself. Gluck told them his story,
隨后他們癱坐在了椅子上，要求格拉克說些什么，格拉克告訴了他們這個故事，
of which, of course, they did not believe a word. They beat him again till their arms were tired, and staggered to bed.
他們當然一個字也不信，他們再次打他，直到他們的胳臂累了，搖搖晃晃地進屋睡覺。
In the morning, however, the steadiness with which he stuck to his story made them believe him,
早上，格拉克依然講述了之前的故事，這讓他們相信了他，
and immediately the two brothers began to quarrel as to which of them should be the first to make the journey to the Golden River.
兩兄弟馬上爭斗起來，他們爭吵著誰應該第一個前往金河。
Soon they drew their swords and began fighting.
不久，他們拔劍爭斗起來。
