皇帝的新装
The emperor’snew clothes
There was an emperor who loved to wear beautiful new clothes. One day, two impos-ters came to the city.
有个皇帝非常喜欢穿漂亮的新衣服。一天,城里来了两个骗子。
The imposters said:"We can weave the most magical cloth in the world-foolish people can not see it."
骗子说:“我们能织出世上最神奇的布——愚蠢的人看不到它。”
The emperor want-ed to use the magi-cal cloth to make new clothes, so he gave the imposters a lot of golden and silver thread.
皇帝想用最神奇的布做件新衣服,于是给了骗子许多金丝银线。
After a few days, the emperor wanted to see what the magical cloth looked like.Huh? The loom was empty, nothing was there ...
过了几天以后,皇帝想看看最神奇的布是什么样子的。咦?织布机上空荡荡的,什么也没有……
"I must be a fool!" The emperor was very scared. So he deliberately praised the cloth loudly.
“原来愚蠢的人是我!”皇帝很害怕。于是,他故意大声赞美起来。
The emperor's ministers went along and also pretended to see the cloth, facing the empty loom and giving a thumbs-up gesture.
同去的大臣们也都假装看到了布,对着空织布机竖起大拇指。
The imposters used a pair of scissors to cut into the thin air and also used needles with-out any thread to sew.
骗子用剪刀在空中乱剪一阵,又用没穿线的针乱缝一通。
"Noble emperor, the new clothes are done." The imposters pretended to put the new clothes on the emperor.“尊贵的皇帝,新衣服做好了。”骗子假装给皇帝换上新衣服。
The emperor held a grand parade in the city. The people all were competing to praise him.
皇帝在城里举行了盛大的游行。百姓们都争相夸赞。
Suddenly, a child shouted: "The emperor isn't wearing anything!"
忽然,一个孩子大叫:“皇帝什么都没穿呀!”
At this time, the emperor realized that he had been tricked, and he dingily ran back to the palace ...
此时,皇帝知道自己上了当,灰溜溜地跑回皇宫里去了……
