天鹅飞过

字幕原文

Autumn came. 秋天来了。

The leaves turned brown, the clouds hung heavy with snow, 树叶变黄枯萎了，沉甸甸的阴云里仿佛压着大雪，

and the poor duckling had a hard time of it. 可怜的小鸭子日子可难熬了。

One evening, as the sun was setting, 一天傍晚，太阳正缓缓落下，

a flock of large, beautiful birds rose out of the bushes. 一群美丽的大鸟从灌木丛中飞了出来。

He had never seen anything like them: 他从来没见过这么漂亮的鸟：

dazzling white, with long, graceful necks. 全身白得耀眼，脖子修长而优美。

They were swans. 那是天鹅。

They gave a strange cry, spread their magnificent wings, 它们发出奇特的叫声，展开宽大华丽的翅膀，

and flew away to warmer lands, far over the sea. 越过大海，飞往温暖的远方。

The ugly duckling felt something stir deep inside him. 丑小鸭感到内心深处涌起了一股莫名的悸动。

He stretched his neck up toward them and let out a cry so loud and strange that it frightened even himself. 他朝着它们高高仰起脖子，发出一声又响又怪的叫声，连自己都吓了一跳。

But he loved them as he had never loved anything before. 但他由衷地爱着它们，以前他从没这样喜欢过任何东西。

Sometimes we recognize who we might become long before we can believe it. 有时候，在连我们自己都不敢相信之前，我们就已经隐约认出了未来的自己。

Then they were gone, and winter began to close in. 后来它们飞走了，寒冬也一步步逼近了。
