The host did not get out of bed for two hours after this; he washed himself and wanted to dry himself, then the pin went over his face and made a red streak from one ear to the other. After this he went into the kitchen and wanted to light a pipe, but when he came to the hearth the egg-shell darted into his eyes. "This morning everything attacks my head, " said he, and angrily sat down on his grandfather's chair, but he quickly started up again and cried, "Woe is me, " for the needle had pricked him still worse than the pin, and not in the head. Now he was thoroughly angry, and suspected the guests who had come so late the night before, and when he went and looked about for them, they were gone. Then he made a vow to take no more ragamuffins into his house, for they consume much, pay for nothing, and play mischievous tricks into the bargain by way of gratitude.

几个小时之后，店老板才起来。 他洗了洗脸，准备用毛巾擦一擦，结果大头针从他的脸上划过，在他的脸上留下了一道直至耳根的长长的血印。 他走进厨房，想点燃烟斗，可当他走到火炉旁时，鸡蛋壳从火炉里蹦了出来，碰到了他的眼睛。 "今天早晨好像什么都跟我过不去。"他说，同时气呼呼地在他爷爷留给他的椅子上坐了下来。 可他立刻又跳了起来，而且叫着："哎哟！哎哟！"那缝衣针虽然没有扎着他的脸，却比大头针扎得更厉害。他现在真的气坏了，不由得怀疑起昨天很晚才住进店来的那帮客人。他去找它们，结果发现它们早已逃得无影无踪了。他于是发誓说，他的店里今后决不再接待任何二流子，因为这帮家伙吃得多，不付一分钱，而且还忘恩负义地对你做恶作剧。

And now they had themselves well served, and feasted and rioted. Early in the morning, when day was breaking, and every one was asleep, the cock awoke the hen, brought the egg, pecked it open, and they ate it together, but they threw the shell on the hearth. Then they went to the needle which was still asleep, took it by the head and stuck it into the cushion of the landlord's chair, and put the pin in his towel, and at the last without more ado they flew away over the heath. The duck who liked to sleep in the open air and had stayed in the yard, heard them going away, made herself merry and found a stream, down which she swam, which was a much quicker way of travelling than being harnessed to a carriage

第二天清早，天刚蒙蒙亮，大家都还在睡梦中，公鸡却叫醒了母鸡，取出那只鸡蛋，把它啄破，和母鸡一起把蛋吃进了肚子，再把蛋壳扔进火炉。 然后，它们来到还在沉睡的缝衣针旁，抓住它的脑袋，把它插进店老板椅子的坐垫中，又把大头针插在店老板的毛巾里。 做完这些后，公鸡和母鸡便飞快地逃走了。 鸭子因为喜欢睡在露天，所以晚上一直呆在院子里，没有进屋。它听到公鸡和母鸡逃跑了，心里万分高兴。它找到一条小溪，顺着它游了下去--这种旅行的方法当然要比拉车快多了。

They had been at the tailor's public- house by the gate, and had stayed too long over the beer. As they were thin people, who did not take up much room, the cock let them both get in, but they had to promise him and his little hen not to step on their feet. Late in the evening they came to an inn, and as they did not like to go further by night, and as the duck also was not strong on her feet, and fell from one side to the other, they went in. The host at first made many objections, his house was already full, besides he thought they could not be very distinguished persons; but at last, as they made pleasant speeches, and told him that he should have the egg which the little hen has laid on the way, and should likewise keep the duck, which laid one every day, he at length said that they might stay the night.

它俩还说，它们在城门口裁缝们常去的酒店里喝啤酒，结果呆得太晚了。 由于它俩都骨瘦如柴，占不了多少位子，公鸡便让它们上了车，条件是要它们保证不踩到它和母鸡的脚。 天黑了很久以后，它们来到了一家旅店前。 它们不愿意在黑夜里继续赶路，再加上鸭子的脚力又不行，跑起来已经是左摇右摆，它们便进了店里。店主人起初提出了许多异议，说什么店已经住满了，而且他觉得它们不是什么高贵的客人。可它们说了很多好话，说要把小母鸡在路上生的鸡蛋给他，还把每天能生一只蛋的鸭子留给他，他终于答应让它们在店里过夜。

As they were thus disputing, a duck quacked to them, "You thieving folks, who bade you go to my nut-hill? Well, you shall suffer for it!" and ran with open beak at the cock. But the cock also was not idle, and fell boldly on the duck, and at last wounded her so with his spurs that she also begged for mercy, and willingly let herself be harnessed to the carriage as a punishment. The little cock now seated himself on the box and was coachman, and thereupon they went off in a gallop, with "Duck, go as fast as thou canst." When they had driven a part of the way they met two foot-passengers, a pin and a needle. They cried, "Stop! stop!" and said that it would soon be as dark as pitch, and then they could not go a step further, and that it was so dirty on the road, and asked if they could not get into the carriage for a while. 

就在它们这样争论的时候，一只鸭子嘎嘎嘎地叫着对它们说："你们这两个小偷，是谁同意你们上我的核桃山的？等着，我要让你们吃点苦头！"它说着便张开阔嘴，向公鸡扑过去。 但是公鸡并非等闲之辈，毫不示弱地向鸭子反击，对着鸭子猛踢猛蹬，弄得鸭子只好低头求饶，并且愿意接受惩罚，给它们拉车。 小公鸡坐在车夫的位子上，高高地叫了一声："鸭子，尽量给我跑快点！"小车便飞快地向前驶去。他们走了一程后，遇到了两个赶路的，一个是大头针，一个是缝衣针。 "停一停，停一停！"它俩喊道。然后又说，天快要黑了，它们寸步难行，而且路上又脏得要命，所以问能不能搭一会儿车。

The cock once said to the hen, "It is now the time when our nuts are ripe, so let us go to the hill together and for once eat our fill before the squirrel takes them all away." - "Yes," replied the hen, "come, we will have some pleasure together." Then they went away to the hill, and on it was a bright day they stayed till evening. Now I do not know whether it was that they had eaten till they were too fat, or whether they had become proud, but they would not go home on foot, and the cock had to build a little carriage of nut-shells. When it was ready, the little hen seated herself in it and said to the cock, "Thou canst just harness thyself to it." - "I like that!" said the cock, "I would rather go home on foot than let myself be harnessed to it; no, that is not our bargain. I do not mind being coachman and sitting on the box, but drag it myself I will not."

有一次，公鸡对母鸡说："现在正是核桃成熟的时候，我们要趁着松鼠还没有把核桃全部吃完，赶紧进山去吃个够。""对呀，"母鸡答道，"走吧，我们可以好好地享受享受。"它们于是就上了山，而且因为天气晴朗，一直在山上呆到天黑。 不知道它们究竟是因为吃多了撑着呢，还是因为它们突然变得心高气傲起来，它们竟然不愿意步行回家。 公鸡用核桃壳做了一辆小车。车子做好后，小母鸡坐了上去对公鸡说："你只管在前面拉车吧。""让我拉车？"公鸡嚷了起来，"我宁愿步行回家也不愿意拉车。不行，我决不答应！要我坐在车上当个车夫还可以，可要我拉车，这根本不可能。"

So the straw stretched himself from one bank to the other. The coal, who was a hot-headed fellow, stepped brashly onto the newly constructed bridge, but when he got to the middle and heard the water rushing beneath him, he took fright, stopped, and did not dare to go any further. Then the straw caught fire, broke into two pieces, and fell into the brook. The coal slid after him, hissed as he fell into the water, and gave up the ghost. The bean who had cautiously stayed behind on the bank had to laugh at the event. He could not stop, and he laughed so fiercely that he burst. Now he too would have died, but fortunately a wandering tailor was there, resting near the brook. Having a compassionate heart, he got out a needle and thread and sewed the bean back together. The bean thanked him most kindly. However, because he had used black thread, since that time all beans have had a black seam.

麦草说着便把自己的身子从小溪的这一边伸到了另一边。 煤块性子比较急，立刻大着胆子走上了这座刚刚搭好的桥。 可是它走到桥中间时，听到溪水在脚下哗哗地流淌，不由得害怕起来，站在那里不敢往前走。 这下麦草燃了起来，断成两截掉进了小溪。煤块跟着掉了下去，碰到水发出咝的一声，就送了命。豆子一直谨慎地呆在岸上，看到这情景不由得放声哈哈大笑。它笑呀笑，笑得裂开了自己的肚皮。它本来也许就这样完蛋了，但幸运的是，一个外出找活干的裁缝正好坐在小溪旁休息。这位裁缝心肠很好，取出针线把它的肚子缝在了一起。豆子好好地谢了裁缝，可由于裁缝用的是黑线，所以豆子的身上至今还留有一条黑缝。

"The old woman sent all my brothers up in fire and smoke. She grabbed sixty at once and killed them. Fortunately I slipped through her fingers." - "What should we do now?" asked the coal. "Because we have so fortunately escaped death," answered the bean, "I think that we should join together as comrades. To prevent some new misfortune from befalling us here, let us together make our way to another land."

This proposal pleased the other two, and they set forth all together. They soon came to a small brook, and because there was neither a bridge nor a walkway there, they did not know how they would get across it. Then the straw had a good idea, and said, "I will lay myself across it, and you can walk across me like on a bridge." 

"难道我不是不幸中之万幸吗？"麦草问，"那个老太太把我所有的兄弟塞进炉火里，变成了轻烟。她一把就抓住了六十根，要了它们的命。幸好我从她的指缝里溜掉了。"
"可我们现在怎么办呢？"煤块问。
"我觉得，"豆子回答，"既然我们都幸运地死里逃生，我们就应该像好伙伴一样团结在一起。为了避免在这地方再遭到厄运，我们应该离开这里，到别的地方去。"
另外两位都觉得这是一个好主意，于是它们便结伴而行。 没过多久，它们来到了一条小溪边，小溪上既没有桥，也没有跳磴，它们不知道该怎么过去。麦草灵机一动，说："让我横躺在小溪上，你们可以像过桥一样从我身上走过去。"

An old woman lived in a village. She had gathered a serving of beans and wanted to cook them, so she prepared a fire in her fireplace. To make it burn faster she lit it with a handful of straw. While she was pouring the beans into the pot, one of them fell unnoticed to the floor, coming to rest next to a piece of straw. Soon afterward a glowing coal jumped out of the fireplace and landed next to them. The straw said, "Dear friends, where do you come from?" The coal answered, "I jumped from the fireplace, to my good fortune. If I had not forced my way out, I surely would have died. I would have burned to ash." The bean said, "I too saved my skin. If the old woman had gotten me into the pot I would have been cooked to mush without mercy, just like my comrades." - "Would my fate have been any better?" said the straw. 

一座村子里住着一位贫穷的老太太，她摘了一盘豆子，准备煮熟了吃。 她在炉子里点上火，为了让炉子烧得快一点，她生炉子的时候用了一把麦草。 当把豆子倒进锅里时，她没有注意到一粒豆子掉了出来，落在地上的一根麦草旁。不一会儿，一块燃烧的煤炭也从炉子中跳了出来，落在它俩的旁边。于是，麦草开口说："亲爱的朋友们，你们从哪里来呀？"煤块答道："我总算幸运地从火里跳出来了。要是我没有使劲跳出来，我必死无疑，一定会被烧成灰烬。"豆子说："我也成功地逃了出来，可要是那老太太把我倒进了锅子，我肯定会像我的伙伴们一样，被她毫不留情地煮成浓汤。"

因为近期有小伙伴在后台问到，自己也想做播客、电台，什么软件和设备比较好入门。因此，专门开了一期聊聊这个话题，文中出现的软件即Adobe Audition, 设备则分别是 Rode VideoMicro, 舒尔 MV51 和 我这次比较推荐的 闪克 PM422. 闪克这套我也在个人的喜马拉雅橱窗页有上架，如果你恰好想开始入门电台，并且在设备上有450左右的预算，欢迎关注 ：）

And now a great fire was lighted in the courtyard in which she was to be burnt, and the King stood above at the window and looked on with tearful eyes, because he still loved her so much. And when she was bound fast to the stake, and the fire was licking at her clothes with its red tongue, the last instant of the seven years expired. Then a whirring sound was heard in the air, and twelve ravens came flying towards the place, and sank downwards, and when they touched the earth they were her twelve brothers, whom she had delivered. They tore the fire asunder, extinguished the flames, set their dear sister free, and kissed and embraced her. And now as she dared to open her mouth and speak, she told the King why she had been dumb, and had never laughed. The King rejoiced when he heard that she was innocent, and they all lived in great unity until their death. The wicked step-mother was taken before the judge, and put into a barrel filled with boiling oil and venomous snakes, and died an evil death.
