格林童话 汉赛尔与格莱特 第2节｜英语名著

"No, wife," said the man, "I cannot do that; I cannot find in my heart to take my children into the forest and to leave them there alone; the wild animals would soon come and devour them." - "O you fool," said she, "then we will all four starve; you had better get the coffins ready," and she left him no peace until he consented. "But I really pity the poor children," said the man.The two children had not been able to sleep for hunger, and had heard what their step-mother had said to their father. Grethel wept bitterly, and said to Hansel, "It is all over with us.""不行啊，老婆，"樵夫说："我不能这么干啊。我怎么忍心把我的孩子丢在丛林里喂野兽呢！""哎，你这个笨蛋，"他老婆说，"不这样的话，咱们四个全都得饿死！"接着她又叽哩呱啦、没完没了地劝他 ，最后，他也就只好默许了。那时两个孩子正饿得无法入睡，正好听见了继母与父亲的全部对话。 听见继母对父亲的建议，格莱特伤心地哭了起来，对汉赛尔说："这下咱俩可全完了。"
