小学英语阅读之第四篇

 

　　There once was a rose bush in full bloom in a big garden. An elf was living in the most beautiful rose in the garden, and she was so small that peo could not see her. She had long blond hair to her toes and beautiful wings.

 

　　One day, it got dark before she got home. She had been dancing and flying around so she didn't have time to get back to the rose bush. Suddenly, the weather got cold, evening dew started to fall, and a strong wind began to blow. She could not stay in the other flowers because they were all closed up.

 

　　"What am I going to do now? It's too cold." She got scared because she had never stayed outside at night. There was a twinkling light from the other side of the garden. "It's too cold, and I am scared. Maybe I should spend tonight there."

 

　　The elf flew to a pavilion on the other side of the garden in a hurry. But there were already two peo in the pavilion. A beautiful young lady and a handsome man were praying that they would never be apart from each other. They were in love. "But we must go far away from each other soon." "Your brother is sending me away because he does not like our marriage. Oh my bride, ase wait for me until I come back to you!" She sobbed and nodded her head.

 

　　She pulled off a rose from the bush which was aside her and kissed it. Then she gave him the rose as a token of her love. At that moment, the rose opened up. The elf went into the rose secretly.

 

　　At that moment, a horrible looking man entered the pavillion. He was the brother of the young lady. "What? You want to marry my sister?" He drew his sword and cut the young man and buried him under a linden-tree.

 

　　"He is gone forever now, and he will forget my sister. How dare the poor little boy want to marry my sister? It is common to die during a trip, so nobody will suspect me of murdering him." The brother brushed up his clothes and disappeared.

 

　　The elf woke up and found she was in the middle of a dark forest. "Oh my! The forest is moving!" But it was not a forest. It was the hair of the young lady's brother. She shivered with fear and anger.

 

　　When they got in the house, the young lady from the garden was crying. The man looked at his sister and gave her a chilly smile, and went to bed. "Oh my lover, my dear fiance, ase come back safely." She sobbed sadly and fell asleep.

 

　　The elf sat down quietly spreading her wings and told the young lady what she saw that day. "What I am trying to say now is not a dream. If you dig under the linden-tree in the garden, you will find your fiance. It is your brother who killed him." The beautiful young lady woke up. She secretly went out of her room and dug under the linden-tree as the elf had said.

 

　　Her lover was lying in the ground, cold dead. She cried out sadly and killed herself right next to her fiance. After some time passed, a flower called, 'Jasmine' came into bloom at the place where the two lovers had died. The Jasmine had big white flowers on the branch and had a sweet smell.

 

　　Incidentally, the young lady's brother was walking down the road and he pulled off a branch of the jasmine and put it near his bedside. When night fell, two bees with poison stingers came out of the jasmine flowers and bit the brother's ears and mouth, and then they vanished.

       玫瑰的精灵

 

　　从前有一个玫瑰丛，在一个大花园里盛开。一个小精灵住在花园里 美丽的玫瑰里，她太小了，人们看不见她。她长着金黄色的头发，脚趾和美丽的翅膀。

 

　　有一天，她到家前天黑了。她一直在跳舞，到处飞，所以她没有时间回到玫瑰丛。突然，天气变冷了，傍晚的露水开始下降，狂风开始刮起。她不能呆在其他的花里，因为他们都被关起来了。

 

　　“我现在该怎么办?”它太冷。她很害怕，因为她从来没有在外面过夜。花园的另一边有一盏闪烁的灯。“太冷了，我很害怕。”也许我今晚应该在那里度过。”

 

　　小精灵急忙飞到花园另一边的亭子里去了。但是在展馆里已经有两个人了。一个美丽的年轻女子和一个英俊的男人正在祈祷他们永远不会彼此分开。他们在爱。“但是我们必须很快远离对方。”“你弟弟把我送走了，因为他不喜欢我们的婚姻。”噢，我的新娘，请等我回来，直到我回到你身边。她抽泣着，点点头。

 

　　她从灌木上摘下一朵玫瑰，吻了吻。然后她把玫瑰送给他，作为她爱情的象征。那一刻，玫瑰打开了。精灵偷偷地进了玫瑰。

 

　　就在这时，一个可怕的男人走进了帕亭。他是那个年轻女子的兄弟。“什么?你想和我妹妹结婚吗?他拔出剑来，砍下那年轻人，把他埋在一棵林树下。

 

　　“他现在已经走了，他会忘记我妹妹的。”这个可怜的小男孩怎么敢跟我妹妹结婚?在一次旅行中死亡是很常见的，所以没有人会怀疑我谋杀了他。哥哥擦了擦他的衣服，消失了。

 

　　精灵醒来后发现她正处在一片黑暗的森林中。“哦,我的天!森林正!“但那不是森林。”那是那位年轻女子的弟弟的头发。她因恐惧和愤怒而颤抖。

 

　　当他们进了屋后，花园里的那位小姐哭了。那个男人看着他的妹妹，给了她一个冷淡的微笑，然后就上床睡觉了。“哦，我的爱人，我亲爱的未婚夫，请安全回来。”她伤心地抽泣着，睡着了。

 

　　精灵坐了下来，悄悄地展开她的翅膀，告诉那位小姐那天她看到了什么。“我现在想说的不是一个梦。如果你在花园的林登树下挖掘，你会找到你的未婚夫。是你的兄弟杀了他。这位美丽的年轻女士醒来了。她偷偷地走出自己的房间，像精灵所说的那样，在林登树下挖洞。

 

　　她的情人躺在地上，冷死了。她伤心地哭了起来，就在她的未婚夫旁边自杀了。过了一段时间，一朵花被称为“茉莉”，在这对恋人死去的地方盛开。Jasmine在树枝上有白色的花，有一种甜蜜的味道。

 

　　顺便说下，这位年轻女子的弟弟走在路上，他把茉莉的一根树枝拔了出来，放在他的床边。夜幕降临时，两只带毒刺的蜜蜂从茉莉花中出来，咬了哥哥的耳朵和嘴，然后它们就消失了。
