童話：小红帽（一）

【趣味英语】春节小知 世界节日（1）Spring

英文

　　Once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was loved by every one who looked at her, but most of all by her grandmother, and there was nothing that she would not have given to the child. Once she gave her a little cap of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else. So she was always called little red-cap.

　　One day her mother said to her, come, little red-cap, here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine. Take them to your grandmother, she is ill and weak, and they will do her good. Set out before it gets hot, and when you are going, walk nicely and quietly and do not run off the path, or you may fall and break the bottle, and then your grandmother will get nothing. And when you go into her room, don’t forget to say, good-morning, and don’t peep into every corner before you do it. 

译文

　　从前有个可爱的小姑娘，谁见了都喜欢，但最喜欢她的是她的奶奶，简直是她要什么就给她什么。一次，奶奶送给小姑娘一顶用丝绒做的小红帽，戴在她的头上正好合适。从此，姑娘再也不愿意戴任何别的帽子，于是大家便叫她“小红帽”。

　　一天，妈妈对小红帽说：“来，小红帽，这里有一块蛋糕和一瓶葡萄酒，快给奶奶送去，奶奶生病了，身子很虚弱，吃了这些就会好一些的。趁着现在天还没有热，赶紧动身吧。在路上要好好走，不要跑，也不要离开大路，否则你会摔跤的，那样奶奶就什么也吃不上了。到奶奶家的时候，别忘了说’早上好’，也不要一进屋就东瞧西瞅。”

　　“我会小心的。”小红帽对妈妈说，并且还和妈妈拉手作保证。
