One enening, long ago, a shepherd ran home, terrified.
这天晚上,天还没有完全黑,村里的牧羊人拼了命的往家里跑去,他看上去吓坏了。
“I saw something terrible,”he cried to his wife and son.
“不好了,不好了!我刚才看到了一个可怕的大怪兽。”
“It's as big as four horses. It has long sharp claws, a long pointy tail, and shiny blue scales all over its body.”
“这个怪兽太大了,足足有四匹马那么大,它长着又长又尖的利爪,又长又尖的尾巴,还有,他的全身都长满了闪闪发光的鳞片。”
His son looked up from his book.
刚才一直在一旁读书的牧羊人的儿子突然抬起了头,指了指手里的书,对爸爸妈妈说:
“That sounds like a dragon,”he said.
“听起来,那好像不是什么怪兽,而是一只龙。”
“A  dragon? That does not sound good.”
“一只龙?如果真是龙的话,这可真是一个坏消息。”
The boy wasn't scared. The next day, he set off up the hill to find the dragon.
他一点儿都不害怕。第二天一早,他就从家里出发上山去找那只龙去了。
“He might be friendly,” thought the boy.
他一边走心里一边想:“也许这只龙很友好呢。”
The dragon was friendly-and he was thrilled to see the boy.
果然像小男孩想的一样,这只巨龙非常友好,不仅友好,他见到小男孩之后还很兴奋,开心的说:
“It's beautiful here, but it does get lonely.”
“哎呀,这里的景色真的太美了,只是,一个人都没有,我感到很寂寞。”
The boy smiled.He sat down and asked the dragon all kinds of questions.
于是他坐在地上,开开心心地聊起天来,他问了巨龙各种各样的问题。
The dragon told stories of long long ago.
巨龙给小男孩讲了很多发生在很久以前的故事。
There were dangerous dragons everywhere.
那时候,世界各地到处都是危险巨龙。
And brave knights fought them to rescue princesses.
还有很多骑士,他们勇敢无畏,和巨龙作斗争,他们一次次的打败巨龙,一次次的救出了故事里公主。
The boy came back every day to hear the stories.
小男孩被巨龙讲的故事深深的迷住了,他每天都会跑回来停巨龙给他讲故事。
But then the villagers found out about the dragon. They were terrified.
可是没过多久,在山上有一只巨龙的消息就在村庄里传开了。这下,所欲的村民全都吓坏了,他们害怕巨龙会来到山下伤害他们,破坏他们的家园,于是,所有的人**在一起,商量着怎么才能除掉这个巨龙。他们每个人都举着一大块标语,有的上面写着:“SLAY THE DRAGON!”就是“杀死巨龙”有的上面写着:“BANISH THE DRAGON!”意思是“驱逐巨龙,把巨龙赶出去”。
The boy ran straight to the dragon. “The villagers want to get rid of you!”he panted.
他一口气跑到山上,上气不接下气的对巨龙说:“不好了!不好了!那些村民想要除掉你!”
“But I wouldn't hurt a fly!”
“可是,我是不会伤害他们的。我连一只苍蝇都不会伤害。”
That afternoon, the boy heard even worse news.
那天下午,小男孩听说了一个更坏的消息。
“He's here!”“He's here!”
“他来喽!他来喽!”
“Who's here?”
“谁来了?”
