Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky原文Chapter 7: Odile EscapesOdile stood at her window, looking at the stars and the moon.There were bars at the window, but they were not necessary.Her window was high above a river.If she tried to escape, she would almost certainly fall into the water and die.Her bird, Patrice, chirped behind her.She turned to look at the bird."Oh Patrice, I understand you. I am in a cage, too. But you must want to get out. I'm sorry I never thought of it. I have kept you locked up just like Rocford has kept me locked up. Because you are my only friend in this world, I wanted you to stay.But you must be free to fly."Odile took the bird cage to the window.She opened its small door."Fly away, Patrice, and be free!Find another bird to love. It is the only thing worth living for."The bird flew from its cage, through the bars on the window, into the night.Odile closed her eyes.She imagined that she was Patrice flying over the forest and lake.She flew into the garden of the palace,she landed on a palace wall and looked into a large window at the ball.Beautiful women in beautiful dresses were dancing with handsome men.She saw the prince with his mother and the cake with the eighteen candles.Then, Odet entered the room dressed as her.When she opened her eyes, she found to her amazement that she was outside the palace window.When she had set the bird free, she had also set herself free.Because she believed with all her hear tin love and freedom, everything that she imagined came true.The wizard knew that Odile hated him,and it made him angry.He wanted to make her love him, so he decided to have a ball for her.Using his magic, he made a large room full of people dancing.He changed himself into a young man again,the same young man he was when he had taken Odile from her parents.He went to her room with flowers.He knocked on her door."Odile, I have a surprise for you."There was no answer.He couldn't even hear the bird."Odile, it's me, Rocford. I've decided to take you to a ball."When there was no answer and he heard nothing, he became angry.He made the door disappear.His anger turned him back into the old,evil man that he was.He saw the bird cage on the floor.The room was empty.Roaring with anger, he turned himself into an owl and flew from the castle towards the palace.翻译第七章：奥迪尔逃跑奥迪尔站在窗前，望着星星和月亮。窗户上有栅栏，但没有必要。她的窗户高高在河的上方。如果她试图逃跑，她几乎肯定会掉进水里而死。她的鸟帕特里斯在她身后叽叽喳喳地叫着。她转过身去看那只鸟。“哦，帕特里斯，我理解你。我也在笼子里。但你一定想出去。对不起，我没有想到这一点。我把你关起来就像罗福德把我关起来一样。因为你是我在这个世界上唯一的朋友，所以我希望你留下来。但你必须自由飞翔。”奥迪尔把鸟笼拿到窗前。她打开那扇小门。“飞走吧，帕特里斯，自由吧！”找另一只鸟去爱吧。这是唯一值得为之而活的东西。”鸟儿从笼子里飞出来，穿过窗户上的栅栏，飞进了黑夜。奥迪尔闭上了眼睛。她想象着自己是帕特里斯，正飞过森林和湖泊。她飞进了宫殿的花园，落在宫殿的一堵墙上，从一扇大窗户里看着舞会。穿着漂亮衣服的漂亮女人正在和英俊的男人跳舞。她看到了王子和他的母亲，还有插着十八根蜡烛的蛋糕。然后，奥德打扮成她的样子走进房间。当她睁开眼睛时，她惊奇地发现她在宫殿的窗户外面。当她放了鸟儿，她也放了自己。因为她全心全意地相信爱和自由，她想象的一切都实现了。巫师知道奥迪尔恨他，这让他很生气。他想让她爱上他，所以他决定为她举办一次舞会。他用他的魔法使一间大屋子里的人都在跳舞。他又变回了一个年轻人，就是把奥迪尔从她父母身边接走的那个年轻人。他拿着花去了她的房间。他敲了敲她的门。“奥迪尔，我要给你一个惊喜。”没有人回答。他甚至听不见鸟叫。“奥迪尔，是我，罗福德。我决定带你去参加舞会。”没有人回答，他什么也没听到，他就生气了。他让门消失了。他的愤怒使他变回了从前那个邪恶的人。他看到了地板上的鸟笼。房间是空的。他怒吼着，把自己变成一只猫头鹰，从城堡飞向宫殿。

You will see."Every time a new guest arrived, the ballroom doors were opened, and everyone fell silent.A servant called out the guests' names as they entered.Each time this happened, the Prince became very excited.But Odile never arrived.It was almost twelve o'clock.Zigfried had promised his mother that he would choose a bride by midnight. The two large doors opened."Please, let it be her!"It was a giant cake with 18 candles on it.Everyone in the room began to sing."Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Prince Zigfried, Happy Birthday to you!"Zigfried and his mother walked towards the enormous cake."Now, make a wish and blow out allthe candles."No one heard him, but Zigfried said,"I wish Odile would come and be my wife."He blew out the candles and everyone cheered.The doors opened. "Princess Odile."It was Odet dressed as Odile.She wore a long white dress and long white gloves.The gold crown was shining on her head.She held a bouquet of flowers in her arms.She smiled as she walked towards the Queen and Prince.She gave the Queen the flowers, then bowed."Mother, this is Odile, the Princess I met in the forest.""I knew your father. I'm sorry. I thought everyone had died in the fire. You must be the only one who lived."Odet did not know what the wizard had done to Odile's parents.She stopped smiling."Oh Mother, her story is too sad to tell. Let us enjoy this evening together. We are her family now.""Do you mean you wish to choose Princess Odile as your wife?""Yes, Mother, I do. "The Queen raised her hand for the men to sound their horns.Everyone was quiet."Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce the engagement of my son, Prince Zigfried. After tonight, he will be the King of this land, and he has chosen Princess Odile to be his wife."Zigfried and Odet danced together.Everyone around them clapped their hands."Odile, I knew you would come. How did you escape from the evil wizard?""I.. I ran away.""And he did not see you?"The Prince stepped back so he could look at Odet's eyes.His heart sank when he saw those eyes.They looked like Odile's, but there was something missing in them.He didn't love her.Odet began to lie about her escape from Rocford."I saw a falling star in the sky. I closed my eyes and made a wish. When I opened them, I was in a carriage pulled by horses. That's how I got here. It must mean we were meant to be together. Oh Zigfried, tell me you will love me forever."He held her close, because he did not want to look in her eyes.He knew he had loved Odile when he had first seen her.Now he didn't know.He thought there must be something wrong with him."Odile, I promise always to love you and never leave you. "翻译第六章：舞会宫殿里的舞厅很大。成百上千的男男女女在广场中央跳舞。墙边摆着白色的长桌子。他们有蜡烛和各种各样的食物。在房间顶部的一个舞台上，放着三把大椅子。王后坐在中间，齐格弗里德坐在她的右边。左边的椅子是空的。这是为公主准备的，她将成为齐格弗里德的妻子。“你最喜欢哪位公主？”“我要选的人还没来。”“但是你一定都见过他们吧？”“还有一个，妈妈，她是个惊喜。你会看到的。”每当有新客人到来，舞厅的门就会打开，大家都安静下来。客人一进来，仆人就喊他们的名字。每次发生这种事，王子都变得非常兴奋。但是奥迪尔一直没有来。已经快十二点了。齐格弗里德答应他的母亲，他会在午夜之前选择一个新娘。两扇大门打开了。“求你了，就让她来吧！”那是一个巨大的蛋糕，上面插着18根蜡烛。房间里的每个人都开始唱歌。“祝你生日快乐，祝你生日快乐，祝齐格弗里德王子生日快乐，祝你生日快乐！”齐格弗里德和他妈妈走向那个巨大的蛋糕。“现在，许个愿，吹灭所有的蜡烛。”没有人听见他的话，但齐格弗里德说：“我希望奥迪尔能来做我的妻子。”他吹灭了蜡烛，大家都欢呼起来。门开了。“奥迪尔公主。”是奥德打扮成奥迪尔的样子。她穿着白色长裙，戴着白色长手套。金王冠在她头上闪闪发光。她怀里抱着一束花。她微笑着走向女王和王子。她把花送给王后，然后鞠躬。“妈妈，这是奥迪尔，我在森林里遇到的公主。”“我认识你父亲。我很抱歉。我以为所有人都在大火中丧生了。你一定是唯一活下来的人。”奥德不知道巫师对奥迪尔的父母做了什么。她不再笑了。“哦，妈妈，她的故事太悲伤了，难以启齿。让我们一起享受这个夜晚。我们现在就是她的家人了。”“你的意思是你想选择奥德勒公主做你的妻子？”“是的，妈妈，我喜欢。”女王举手示意男人们吹响喇叭。每个人都很安静。“女士们先生们，我要宣布我的儿子齐格弗里德王子订婚了。今晚之后，他将成为这片土地的国王，他已经选择了奥德勒公主做他的妻子。”齐格弗里德和奥德一起跳舞。他们周围的每个人都拍手。“奥迪尔，我知道你会来的。你是怎么从邪恶的巫师手里逃脱的？”“我. .我逃走了。”“他没有看见你吗？”王子向后退了一步，以便能看着奥德的眼睛。当他看到那双眼睛时，他的心一沉。它们看起来像奥迪尔的，但里面少了一些东西。他不爱她。奥德开始谎称她从罗福德逃走了。“我看到天空中有一颗流星。我闭上眼睛许了个愿。当我打开它们的时候，我正坐在一辆马拉着的马车里。我就是这样来到这里的。这一定意味着我们注定要在一起。哦，齐格弗里德，告诉我你会永远爱我。”他紧紧地抱着她，因为他不想看她的眼睛。当他第一次见到奥迪尔的时候，他就知道他爱上了她。现在他不知道了。他想他一定是出了什么问题。“奥迪尔，我保证永远爱你，永远不离开你。”
