关于美女与野兽的英语故事篇1

Beauty and the Beast

One day, the merchant heard that all his ships had been lost in a storm. He was penniless andwould have to move to a tiny cottage on the edge of the woods.

"Everything will be alright," said the youngest daughter, Beauty,. "We can all help. We don'tneed any servants as the house is so small."

The merchant was very grateful to Beauty. The older girls were very upset, and were no helpat all.

In no time at all, Beauty had the little cottage spick and span.

One day, a messenger arrived.

"I have good news," he said to the merchant. "One of your ships has made harbour. You areneeded to oversee matters in the unloading."

"Oh, good news indeed!" said the merchant. He called his daughters around him. they weredelighted when they heard the news.

"Does this mean that we can move back home?" asked the oldest daughter.

"First things first," said her father. "If there is a profit, I'll bring you all back a present. You musttell me what you would like."

"Oh, a beautiful dress, father," cried the first.

"A new hat, father," said the second.

"What about you, Beauty?" asked the merchant.

Beauty simply said," A red rose please, father."

The merchant set out that very day for the town with the messenger. He completed hisbusiness, and found that he had indeed made a profit. There was enough to buy his daughters'presents and some to invest. The dress and hat were soon bought, but there were no roses tobe had in the town.

It was evening when he set out for home.

"Maybe I'll be able to find one on the way home," he said to himself.

He was still far from home when it started to grow dark. He was in an unfamiliar part of theforest, and knew that he would soon be lost if he did not find somewhere for the night. Hesuddenly saw some lights and soon found himself outside a vast mansion.

"I did not know that this was here," said the merchant. "I must really be lost!"

The merchant went into the house as the front door was open. He looked around, but therewas nobody to be seen. He suddenly sniffed the air. He could smell delicious food. A table in thedining room was laid for one, so he sat and ate a hearty supper.

He suddenly remembered his horse, and went to stable it for the night, but it had already beendone, and the horse was tucking into a bag of oats.

'How strange,' thought the merchant, returning to the house. There, a bedroom had beenprepared for him. He slept well, and in the morning, found all his clothes had been cleaned,breakfast was ready and his horse was saddled.

At the front door, he turned to thank his unseen host, but then he saw the garden. I was fullof roses - roses of every different colour.

"Now I can get Beauty's present," said the merchant, and he picked a red rose.

The merchant nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard a furious roar.

"Have I not been a good host? roared the voice. "I fed you, gave you a bed for the night andstabled your horse, and you repay me by stealing from me."

The owner of the voice then came into sight. The merchant shuddered. It was the ugliestcreature he had ever seen.

"I am very sorry, " said the merchant. "I picked it for my daughter."

"If you wish to live, you must send the first living thing you see when you arrive home, " saidthe Beast.

"Very well," said the merchant. He knew that his dog usually greeted him first.

He then set off for home. But to his dismay, it was Beauty who ran out of the house to greethim. The dog was lying asleep in the sun.

The other girls came out to empty the saddle bags and to see their presents. He went quietlyinto the house. Beauty was worried and followed him in.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I must send you to the Beast's house," he said sadly, and then told Beauty what hadhappened.

"I will go," said Beauty. "We must keep your promise."

"But you have not seen him," said her father. "I will still go," said Beauty. "He surely cannot beas ugly as you say."

But Beauty did shudder the first time she saw the Beast at the house in the middle of theforest. The Beast pretended not to notice her shudder, and showed her around the house andgardens. She had a beautiful room and lovely clothes, and he gave her a magic mirror so thatshe could see her family whenever she wanted to.

The Beast spent every afternoon with her, and gradually she became used to his ugly face andlooked forward to seeing him.

One afternoon the Beast said, "Beauty, do you love me?"

"Love you?" repeated Beauty. "No, But I do like you, I like you a lot."

"Never mind," said the Beast and he left her, much earlier than usual.

Beauty looked in her mirror and saw that her sister was getting ready to be married.

Beauty asked the Beast if she could go to the wedding.

The Beast agreed, and he sent her in a beautiful carriage with a lovely present.

"Don't go back to him," said her father, after the wedding.

"I must," said Beauty. "I have promised to stay."

On her return, the Beast seemed very pleased to see her, and gave her all sorts of gifts, andspent a great deal of time with her.

The next time that Beauty looked in the mirror, her other sister was preparing for her wedding.

"Please may I go?" Beauty asked the Beast. "I promise I shall return again."

Again, Beauty went with gifts for her sister's wedding.

She returned soon after the wedding, and again the Beast seemed delighted to have her back.

Beauty did not look in her mirror for a long time after that, but suddenly remembered it oneafternoon when the Beast could not join her.

What she saw made her feel quite weak. Her father was ill in bed, and there were doctors andher sisters standing around him shaking their heads.

As soon as the Beast returned, Beauty ran to him. "Please, I must go home," she said. " Myfather is very ill and I must be with him."

"Very well," said the Beast. "But please take this ring with you. If the stone is bright then I amwell, but if it turns dull, I am dying."

Beauty arrived home to find her father as she had seen him.

"He's been asking for you," said her sisters.

As soon as he saw his daughter, the merchant began to improve. Autumn came and went, andthe merchant begged Beauty to stay.

"I am still a little weak," he said. " And it will be winter soon. Return to the Beast in spring."

Beauty agreed, and Christmas and winter were spent at the cottage.

One day, in early spring, Beauty was sorting through some drawers and found the ring that theBeast had given her.

The stone was dull and lifeless.

"I must go back!" she cried.

She left the cottage, the carriage speeding to take her back to the Beast's mansion.

"Please, don't let me be too late," she wept. She had grown very fond of the Beast, and wasvery upset that she hadn't looked at the ring for so long.

The carriage swept into the drive and went up to the house. She leapt out and ran into thehouse, but the Beast was nowhere to be found. She called and called, but there was no answer.

" He must be in the garden," she said, and she ran out, calling his name.

"Beauty," she heard his voice gently whisper. She found him by a great bush of red roses.

Beauty ran to him and sat down to cradle his ugly head in her arms. She was crying and tellinghim how sorry she was. He was very weak.

"Oh, Beast, " she wept. "Please don't die. I do love you."

There was a sudden flash of light, and Beauty no longer held the Beast in her arms! She lookedup and saw a handsome man standing by the rose bush.

"Where is the Beast?" she asked, looking round.

"Here," said the man, " I was the Beast and I was dying. I needed you to say that you love me.Now my stepmother's spell has been lifted."

Beauty was delighted, and she and the young man were soon married. They lived happily in thebeautiful mansion with the rose garden.

有一天传来了这样的消息：一艘船来了，这可能使商人重新富起来。

The merchant set off to the city, and just before he left he said, "Tell me, daughters, what gifts would you like me to bring back for you?"

商人打算进城，出发前他问道：“ 告诉我，女儿们，你们希望我带给你什么礼物?”

The two older girls asked for fine clothes and jewels, but Beauty wanted nothing . Realizing this made her sisters look greedy, she thought it best to ask for something. "Bring me a rose, father," she said, "just a beautiful red rose."

两位姐姐索要衣服和首饰，但是美女什么也不想要。但是想到这样做可能会使姐姐们显得很贪婪，她想她最好要点什么。“给我一枝玫瑰花，父亲，”她说道，“我只想要一枝玫瑰花。”

When the merchant reached the city he found disaster had struck once more and the ship's cargo was ruined.

商人来到城市里，他发现灾难又一次降临，船上的货物被毁了。

He took the road home wondering how to break the news to his children. He was so deep in thought that he lost his way.

他走在回家的路上，心想如何把这个消息带给孩子们，他苦苦思索，以致于迷路了。

Worse still, it started to snow, and he feared he would never reach home alive.

更糟糕的是，天下起雪来，他担心他不能活着回家了。

Just as he despaired he noticed lights ahead, and riding towards them he saw a fine castle.

正当他失望泄气的时候，他注意到前方有灯光，当他骑马前往时，他发现了一座富丽堂皇的宫殿。

The gates stood open and flares were alight in the courtyard.

大门敞开着，院子里的炉火燃烧着。

In the stables a stall empty with hay in the manger and clean bedding on the floor ready for his horse.

The castle itself seemed to be deserted, but a fire was burning in the dining-hall where a table was laid with food.
