Little red-Cap Once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was loved by every one who looked at her,but most of all by her grandmother,and there was nothing that she would not have given to the child.Once she gave her a little cap of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else;so she was always called "Little Red-Cap." One day her mother said to her,"Come,Little Red-Cap,here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine;take them to your grandmother,she is ill and weak,and they will do her good.Set out before it gets hot,and when you are going,walk nicely and quietly and do not run off the path,or you may fall and break the bottle,and then your grandmother will get nothing;and when you go into her room,don't forget to say,'Good-morning,'and don't peep into every corner before you do it." "I will take great care,"said Little Red-Cap to her mother,and gave her hand on it. The grandmother lived out in the wood,half a league from the village,and just as Little Red-Cap entered the wood,a wolf met her.Red-Cap did not know what a wicked creature he was,and was not at all afraid of him. “Good-day,Little Red-Cap,”said he. "Thank you kindly,wolf." “Whither away so early,Little Red-Cap?” ·084· 小红帽 从前有个可爱的小姑娘，人见人爱，但最爱她的还 是她的外婆，她想要什么，外婆都会给她。有一次，外 婆送给她一顶红丝绒的小帽子，这顶小红帽戴在她头上 正正好好，从此她再也不要戴别的帽子。就这样，人们 都叫她“小红帽”。 有一天，妈妈对她说：“来，小红帽，这里有一块 蛋糕和一瓶葡萄酒，你给外婆送去，她生病了，身体 虚弱，这些吃的对她养病有好处。天热之前就出发吧， 你要乖乖地好好走路，不要离开大路，不然你会摔跤， 把酒瓶打破，那样外婆就什么也吃不到了。进门的时 候，别忘了说‘早上好’。还有，不要东张西望的。” “我会特别小心的。”小红帽向妈妈保证。 外婆一个人住在森林里，离村子还有好长一段路。 刚进森林，小红帽就遇到了一只狼。小红帽并不知道狼 ①league[gln.里格（长 有多坏，所以一点儿也不怕他。 度单位，约为3英里或 “你好啊，小红帽。”狼说。 3海里) “谢谢你，狼先生。” “这么早要去哪里啊，小红帽？” ·085· Little Red-Cap t“To my grandmother's.” “What have you got in your apron??"” "Cake and wine;yesterday was baking-day,so poor sick grandmother is to have something good,to make her stronger." "Where does your grandmother live,Little Red-Cap?" "A good quarter of a league farther on in the wood;her house stands under the three large oak-trees,the nut-trees are just below;you surely must know it,"replied Little Red-Cap. The wolf thought to himself,"What a tender young creature!what a nice plump mouthful-she will be better to eat than the old woman.I must act craftily, so as to catch both."So he walked for a short time by the side of Little Red-Cap, and then he said,"See Little Red-Cap,how pretty the flowers are about here-why do you not look round?I believe,too,that you do not hear how sweetly the little birds are singing;you walk gravely along as if you were going to school,while everything else out here in the wood is merry." Little Red-Cap raised her eyes,and when she saw the sunbeams dancing here and there through the trees,and pretty flowers growing everywhere,she thought, "Suppose I take grandmother a fresh nosegay;that would please her too.It is so early in the day that I shall still get there in good time;"and so she ran from the path into the wood to look for flowers.And whenever she had picked one,she fancied that she saw a still prettier one farther on,and ran after it,and so got deeper and deeper into the wood. Meanwhile the wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked at the door. “Who is there?? "Little Red-Cap,"replied the wolf."She is bringing cake and wine;open the door.” Lift the latch⑤，”called out the grandmother,“I am too weak,and cannot get up.” The wolf lifted the latch,the door flew open,and without saying a word ·086· 小红帽 “去我外婆家。” “你围裙里放了什么？” “蛋糕和葡萄酒：昨天家里刚烤了蛋糕。可怜的外 婆生病了，她该吃些好吃的，这样身体才能好起来。” “你的外婆住哪儿呢，小红帽？” “还要往森林里走好长一段路呢。她的房子就在 那三棵大橡树下，那里还长了些核桃树：你一看就知道 了。”小红帽回答说。 这条狼心想：“这个鲜嫩的小家伙！一口吃下去该 ①tender[tend]a.细嫩 有多可口，她一定比那个老太婆好吃多了。我必须见 的，纤弱的 ②craftily[krq:ftili]ad.狡 机行事，两个人都不要放过。”他和小红帽并肩走了一 猾地，狡诈地 小会儿后说：“小红帽，你看这里的花儿开得多美啊， 你为什么不到处走走看看呢？我肯定你从没听过小鸟 们这么甜美的歌声。你这么一本正经地往前走，就像 ③gravely ['greivli]ad.严 去上学一样，你看森林里的这一切是多么令人愉悦 肃地，庄重地 啊。” 小红帽抬起眼睛，看见阳光在树间快活地闪耀舞 动，到处都是漂亮的鲜花，她心想：“如果我给外婆送 ④nosegay[nouzgei]n.(有 去一束鲜花，她应该也会高兴的。现在还早，去外婆 香味的)花束 家还有的是时间。”于是她离开大路，跑进森林里去采 花了。每次采到一朵花，她总觉得又看到了前面还有 更美的花，就不停地跑去采，于是往森林里越走越远 了。 与此同时，狼一口气跑到了外婆家，“笃笃笃”敲 起了门。 “是谁啊？” “是小红帽呀，”狼回答说，“我给您带来了蛋糕和 葡萄酒，快开门吧。” “把门门拉开进来吧，”外婆用劲喊，“我太虚弱了， ⑤latch [lat]n.门闩 起不了床。” 狼拉开了门闩，门一下子就开了，狼径直冲到外婆 ⑥iew[r]k(y的过去 式)（门窗等）突然打开 的床前，二话不说就把她给吞到肚子里了。接着他穿上 ·087· Little Red-Cap he went straight to the grandmother's bed,and devoured her.Then he put on her clothes,dressed himself in her cap,laid himself in bed and drew the curtains Little Red-Cap,however,had been running about picking flowers,and when she had gathered so many that she could carry no more,she remembered her grandmother,and set out on the way to her. She was surprised to find the cottage-door standing open,and when she went into the room,she had such a strange feeling that she said to herself,"Oh dear!how uneasy I feel today,and at other times I like being with grandmother so much."She called out,"Good morning,"but received no answer;so she went to the bed and drew back the curtains.There lay her grandmother with her cap pulled far over her face,and looking very strange. “Oh!grandmother,,”she said,“what big ears you have! "The better to hear you with,my child,"was the reply. "But,grandmother,what big eyes you have!"she said. “The better to see you with,my dear.” "But,grandmother,what large hands you have!" “The better to hug you with.” "Oh!but,grandmother,what a terrible big mouth you have!" "The better to eat you with!" And scarcely had the wolf said this,than with one bound he was out of bed and swallowed up Red-Cap. When the wolf had appeased his appetite,he lay down again in the bed,fell asleep and began to snore very loud.The huntsman was just passing the house, and thought to himself,"How the old woman is snoring!I must just see if she wants anything."So he went into the room,and when he came to the bed,he saw that the wolf was lying in it."Do I find thee here,thou old sinner"said he."I have long sought thee!"Then just as he was going to fire at him,it occurred to him that the wolf might have devoured the grandmother,and that she might still be saved,so he did not fire,but took a pair of scissors,and began to cut open the stomach of the sleeping wolf.When he had made two snips5,he saw the little Red-Cap shining,and then ·088· 小红帽 外婆的衣服，戴上她的帽子，躺在她的床上，还拉上了 ①curtain[katon]h.帘 帘子。 小红帽这时候还在跑来跑去，忙着采花。她越采越 多，多得自己都拿不动了，这才想起了外婆，于是又赶 紧上路去外婆家。 她看到外婆的屋门敞开着，觉得很纳闷。进屋的时 候，她有一种异常奇怪的感觉，就对自己说：“天呐！ 我今天怎么这么心神不安呢，平时我是多么喜欢来这儿 陪外婆啊。”她大声说：“早上好！”可没人回答。于是 她向床边走去，把帘子拉开。只见外婆躺在床上，帽子 拉得很低，把脸都遮住了，看起来非常奇怪。 “哎呀！外婆，”她说，“你的耳朵怎么这么大！” “为了更清楚地听你说话啊，我的孩子。”一个声 音回答道。 “可是，外婆，你的眼睛怎么这么大！”她问。 “为了看你看得更清楚啊，我的宝贝儿。” “可是，外婆，你的手怎么这么大！” “为了更好地抱你啊。” “哎呀！外婆，你的嘴巴怎么大得这么可怕！” “为了一口就把你吃掉！” 狼刚说完这句话，就从床上跳起来，把小红帽一口 给吞了下去。 大饱口福后，狼又躺在床上睡着了，而且鼾声震 ②appetite[pitait].食 欲，胃口 天。一个猎人刚好从屋前路过，心想：“这个老婆婆的 ③snore[sna]v打鼾 鼾声怎么这么大！我得进去看看她怎么了。”于是他进 了屋，走到床前，却看见一只狼睡在那里。“原来你在 这里，你这个大坏蛋！”猎人说，“我可找你很久了！” ④sinner[sinm.有罪者 正当他准备开枪打狼的时候，突然想到这只狼可能是 生吞了老太太，也许老太太还能得救，所以他没有开 枪，而是拿来一把剪刀，动手剪开了狼的肚子。他刚 剪两刀，就看见红色的小帽子在闪闪发光，接着又剪 ⑤snip[snip]n.剪 了两刀，小女孩儿就跳出来了，她大声叫着：“啊，太 ·089· Little Red-Cap he made two snips more,and the little girl sprang out,crying,"Ah,how frightened I have been!How dark it was inside the wolf;"and after that the aged grandmother came out alive also,but scarcely able to breathe.Red-Cap,however,quickly fetched great stones with which they filled the wolf's body,and when he awoke,he wanted to run away,but the stones were so heavy that he fell down at once,and fell dead. Then all three were delighted.The huntsman drew off the wolf's skin and went home with it;the grandmother ate the cake and drank the wine which Red-Cap had brought,and revived,but Red-Cap thought to herself,"As long as I live,I will never by myself leave the path,to run into the wood,when my mother has forbidden me to do so.” 来来来来来米米 It is also related that once when Red-Cap was again taking cakes to the old grandmother,another wolf spoke to her,and tried to entice her from the path.Red- Cap,however,was on her guard,and went straight forward on her way,and told her grandmother that she had met the wolf,and that he had said"good-morning"to her,but with such a wicked look in his eyes,that if they had not been on the public road she was certain he would have eaten her up."Well,"said the grandmother,"we will shut the door,that he may not come in."Soon afterwards the wolf knocked, and cried,"Open the door,grandmother,I am little Red-Cap,and am fetching you some cakes."But they did not speak,or open the door,so the grey-beard stole twice or thrice round the house,and at last jumped on the roof,intending to wait until Red-Cap went home in the evening,and then to steal after her and devour her in the darkness.But the grandmother saw what was in his thoughts.In front of the house was a great stone trough②，so she said to the child,“Take the pail③，Red-Cap;I made some sausages yesterday,so carry the water in which I boiled them to the trough."Red-Cap carried until the great trough was quite full.Then the smell of the sausages reached the wolf,and he sniffed and peeped down,and at last stretched out his neck so far that he could no longer keep his footing and began to slip,and slipped down from the roof straight into the great trough,and was drowned.But Red-Cap went joyously home,and never did anything to harm any one. ·090· 小红帽「 吓人了！狼的肚子里太黑了。”接着，年迈的外婆也活 着出来了，但是有点喘不过气来。小红帽赶紧搬来很 多大石头，他们一起把石头装进狼的肚子里。狼醒了 之后，想逃走，但是他肚子里的石头太重了，刚站起 来就倒地死了。 三个人都很高兴。猎人剥下狼皮，拿回家去了；外 婆吃了小红帽带来的蛋糕和葡萄酒，恢复了健康：但是 小红帽默默地告诫自己：“从今往后，要是妈妈不允许， ①revive[ri'vaiv]v恢复精 力 我再也不独自离开大路往森林里乱跑了。” 米米米米米米米 人们还说，后来又有一次，小红帽去给外婆送蛋糕， 另一只狼和她搭话，想哄骗她离开大路。但小红帽这次 警觉性很高，她径直去了外婆家，还告诉外婆她遇上了 一只狼，这只狼对她说“早上好”，但是他的眼神非常 恶毒，要不是当时是在一条大路上，她敢肯定这只狼已 经把她给吃了。“不怕，”外婆说，“我们把门关上，他 就进不来了。”过了一会儿，这只狼来敲门，叫喊着：“开 门啊，外婆，我是小红帽，我给你带来了蛋糕。”小红 帽和外婆都没有说话，也没去开门。这只长着灰毛的家 伙绕着房子转了两三圈，最后跳上了屋顶，他想等到小 红帽晚上回家的时候，偷偷跟着她，然后趁天黑把她给 活吞了。但是外婆看穿了他的坏心思。她的屋前有一个 大石槽，她交代小红帽说：“去拿桶来，小红帽。我昨 ②trough[trof:trof]n.水槽 天做了些香肠，你去把煮香肠的水倒进石槽里。”小红 ③pail[pei训h提桶 帽不停地往里倒水，把大石槽装得满满的。香肠的香味 飘到屋顶，狼闻到了，他一边使劲地闻一边往下看，最 后他的脖子伸得太长，一下子失去了平衡，从屋顶滑到 了大石槽里，淹死了。小红帽呢，她欢欢喜喜地回家啦， 从此再也没有谁伤害她。 ·091·
