"I'll make you a potion," said the witch. 女巫说:“我会给你配一剂魔药,”

"Drink it on the shore before sunrise, “日出前在岸上喝下它,”

and your tail will become a pair of legs. “你的尾巴就会变成一双腿。”

You'll be the most graceful dancer anyone has ever seen. “你会成为世人见过最优雅的舞者。”

But every step will feel like walking on sharp knives." “但你的每一步,都会像踩在锋利的刀尖上一样。”

"I'll bear it." “我能忍受。”

"There's more. “还有呢,”

You can never return to the sea. “你再也回不了大海了。”

And if the prince marries someone else, “要是王子娶了别人,”

your heart will break the morning after the wedding, “婚礼后的第二天清晨,你的心就会碎掉,”

and you'll turn into foam." “然后化成海里的泡沫。”

"I understand." “我明白。”

"And I must be paid. “而且,你得付我报酬。”

You have the loveliest voice under the sea. “你有着海底最动听的嗓音,”

I want it." “我要它。”

"But if you take my voice, what will I have left?" “可你要是拿走了我的声音,我还剩下什么呢?”

"Your beautiful face, your graceful walk, your speaking eyes. “你美丽的脸庞、优雅的步态,还有你那双会说话的眼睛。”

That's enough to win a human heart." “这些足够俘获一个人类的心了。”

The deepest sacrifices are the ones we make before we know if they'll be worth it. 最深切的牺牲,往往是在我们还不知道值不值得的时候做出的。

"Very well," whispered the little mermaid. “好吧,”小美人鱼轻声说。

The witch raised her knife. 女巫举起了刀。
