“啊,他不知道是我救了他的命,” 小美人鱼想。

“ah, he knows not that it was i who saved his life,” thought the little mermaid

“我带着他越过大海来到有圣殿的树林:

“i carried him over the sea to the wood where the temple stands:

我坐在泡沫下面,一直看着直到人类来救他。

i sat beneath the foam, and watched till the human beings came to help him

我看到了那个他爱得比爱我还深的美丽少女;”

i saw the pretty maiden that he loves better than he loves me;”

小美人鱼深深地叹了口气,但她流不出眼泪。

and the mermaid sighed deeply, but she could not shed tears

“他说那个少女属于圣殿,所以她永远不会回到尘世。

“he says the maiden belongs to the holy temple, therefore she will never return to the world

他们不会再见面了:

they will meet no more:

而我在他身边,每天都能见到他。

while i am by his side, and see him every day

我会照顾他,爱他,为他献出我的生命。”

i will take care of him, and love him, and give up my life for his sake”

很快就传言说王子必须结婚了,邻国国王美丽的女儿将成为他的妻子,因为一艘华丽的船正在装备。

very soon it was said that the prince must marry, and that the beautiful daughter of a neighboring king would be his wife, for a fine ship was being fitted out

虽然王子宣称他只是打算去拜访国王,但大家普遍认为他实际上是去看他的女儿。

although the prince gave out that he merely intended to pay a visit to the king, it was generally supposed that he really went to see his daughter

一大群人将与他同行。

a great pany were to go with him

小美人鱼笑了笑,摇了摇头。

the little mermaid smiled, and shook her head

她比任何人都更了解王子的想法。

she knew the prince’s thoughts better than any of the others

“我必须旅行,” 他对她说;

“i must travel,” he had said to her;

“我必须见到这位美丽的公主;

“i must see this beautiful princess;

我的父母希望如此;

my parents desire it;

但他们不会强迫我把她带回家做我的新娘。

but they will not oblige me to bring her home as my bride

我不能爱她;

i cannot love her;

她不像你所类似的圣殿里的那位美丽少女。

she is not like the beautiful maiden in the temple, whom you resemble

如果我被迫选择一位新娘,我宁愿选择你,我不会说话的小宝贝,有着那双富有表现力的眼睛的你。”

if i were forced to choose a bride, i would rather choose you, my dumb foundling, with those expressive eyes”

然后他亲吻她玫瑰色的嘴唇,把玩她长长的飘动的头发,把头靠在她的心上,而她则梦想着人类的幸福和不朽的灵魂。

and then he kissed her rosy mouth, played with her long waving hair, and laid his head on her heart, while she dreamed of human happiness and an immortal soul

“你不害怕大海,我不会说话的孩子,” 当他们站在将要载着他们去邻国国王的国家的华丽船只的甲板上时,他说道。

“you are not afraid of the sea, my dumb child,” said he, as they stood on the deck of the noble ship which was to carry them to the country of the neighboring king

然后他给她讲述风暴和平静,讲述他们下方深海里的奇异鱼类,以及潜水者在那里看到的东西;

and then he told her of storm and of calm, of strange fishes in the deep beneath them, and of what the divers had seen there;

她对他的描述报以微笑,因为她比任何人都更清楚海底有哪些奇观。

and she smiled at his descriptions, for she knew better than any one what wonders were at the bottom of the sea

月光下,当船上所有人都睡着时,除了正在掌舵的舵手,她坐在甲板上,透过清澈的海水向下凝视。
