春天的勇气

字幕原文

Then, one day, the sun began to shine warmly again, 后来有一天，太阳又开始暖洋洋地照耀着，

and the larks were singing. 云雀也唱起了歌。

Spring had come. 春天来了。

The duckling spread his wings. 小鸭子展开了双翅。

They were stronger than before. 翅膀比以前更有力了。

Before he knew it, 不知不觉中，

he was flying over a great garden, full of apple blossom. 他就飞过了一片开满苹果花的大花园。

And there, gliding out from the reeds, came three beautiful white swans. 就在那里，三只美丽的白天鹅从芦苇丛中优雅地滑游了出来。

The duckling recognized them at once, 小鸭子一眼就认出了它们，

and a strange sadness came over him. 心里涌起一阵莫名的悲伤。

"I'll fly to them, those royal birds," he said. “我要飞到它们身边，那些高贵的鸟儿身边去，”他自言自语道。

"They'll kill me for daring to come near, ugly as I am. “我这么丑，敢凑上前去，它们一定会啄死我的。

But it doesn't matter. 但那也无所谓了。

Better to be killed by them than to be bitten by ducks, 与其被鸭子咬、

pecked by hens, and suffer through another winter." 被母鸡啄，还要再受冻熬过一个冬天，倒不如死在它们手里。”

Sometimes courage is simply deciding you're done hiding. 有时候，勇敢不过就是下定决心不再躲躲藏藏。

He landed on the water and swam toward them. 他落在了水面上，朝它们游了过去。

They saw him and rushed forward with their wings spread. 它们看见了他，拍打着翅膀迎面冲了过来。

"Kill me," he whispered, and bowed his head to the water. “杀了我吧，”他轻声呢喃着，把头深深低垂向水面。
