That night, Fiora flew through the lightning to the witch's hut. 那天晚上，菲奥娜冒着雷电飞向了女巫的小屋。

"Twelve beads already," said the witch. “已经十二颗珠子了，”女巫说。

"But this twelfth is no prince. “但这第十二颗可不是什么王子。

It's some young maid." 只是个年轻的侍女。”

"She got what she deserved. “那是她活该。

Now listen." 现在你听我说。”

And Fiora told her about the stranger who refused to touch the thread. 接着，菲奥娜跟她提起了那个不肯碰丝线的陌生人。

"And he says he knows a woman more beautiful than I am." “他还说，他认识一个比我更漂亮的女人。”

"Be careful! “当心点！

Why do you care what he says? 他胡说八道些什么，你何必在意？

I made you the most beautiful woman in the world. 是我把你变成了世界上最美丽的女人。

Get him onto that thread." 快去引他碰那根线。”

But Fiora kept turning the words over in her mind. 可菲奥娜脑子里总忍不住翻来覆去地想着那句话。

More beautiful than I am. 比我还要漂亮。

The witch watched her and shook her head. 女巫看着她，摇了摇头。

She could give a girl a perfect face. 她能给这姑娘一张无可挑剔的脸庞，

She could not cure her of needing to hear it. 却治不好她非得听人奉承的毛病。

And at sunrise, Gavin walked into the forest, looking for acorns. 破晓时分，加文走进树林，四处捡拾橡果。
