Selfish Giant: White Blossoms
自私的巨人之三：巨人之死
At twelve o’clock people go to the market. They see the Giant playing with the children in the beautiful garden.
12点钟人们上集市的时候，看到孩子们和巨人在美丽的花园里一起玩耍。
They children play all day. In the evening they say goodbye to the Giant.
孩子们整天都在开心地玩着。天黑了，他们就和巨人道别了。
“Where is the little boy?” asks the Giant.
“We don’t know.” answer the children.
“You must tell him to come tomorrow.” says the Giant.
“We don’t know where he lives,” say the children.
The Giant is very sad and says, “He is my little friend and I want to see him.”
“那个小男孩呢？”巨人问道。
“我们也不知道啊。”孩子们回答道。
“请你们告诉他，明天一定过来玩。”巨人说。
“我们不知道他住在哪里。”孩子们说。
巨人很难过，说：“他是我可爱的“小”朋友，我很想看到他。”
Every afternoon, after school, the children play with the Giant. The Giant is very kind to the children. But he wants to see his little friend. “Where is he?” he says to himself.
每天下午放学后，孩子们都会和巨人一起玩。巨人对孩子们非常和蔼。可他还是想念那个可爱的小男孩。“他在哪儿呢？”他喃喃自语。
Many years pass and the Giant grows old. He can’t play with the children. So he sits in an enormous armchair and watches the children play. He looks at his garden and says,"I have many beautiful flowers, but the children are the most beautiful flowers of all.”
很快很多年过去了，巨人也老了，没有力气和孩子们一起玩了。他坐在一把巨大的扶手椅上，看着孩子们玩。他环视他的花园，说：“我的花园有很多美丽的花朵，但孩子们是所有花朵中最美丽的。”
One winter morning the Giant looks out of his window. He does not hate the Winter now. He knows that the Spring is sleeping and that the flowers are resting.
一个冬天的早晨，巨人从窗前向外望去。现在，他一点也不讨厌冬天。他知道春天正在沉睡，而花儿们正在休息。
Suddenly, he sees something marvelous. He looks and looks. He is very surprised. In a corner of the garden there is a tree with lovely white blossoms. Its branches are golden and there is silver fruit on them. Under this tree there is a little boy. It is the Giant’s little friend.
忽然，他看到了一幅不思思议的画面。他看了又看，非常惊喜。在花园的角落里，有一棵树开满了白色的美丽的花，树枝是金色的，树上结满了银色的果实。树下有一个小男孩，正是巨人日思夜想的他可爱的“小”朋友。
The Giant runs to the garden. He is very happy. He runs across the garden grass and goes to the child. When he is near the child he becomes angry. He says, “What are these wounds?”
巨人奔向了花园，他非常开心。他穿过草坪，向小男孩跑去。当他快到小男孩跟前时，却因为看到小男孩的样子而生气了。他说：“这些伤口是怎么回事？”
There are the marks of two nails on the child’s hands and feet.
小男孩的手上和脚上有钉子钉过的痕迹。
“What are these wounds?” says the Giant.
“These are the wounds of love.” says the child.
“这些伤口是怎么回事？”巨人问。
“它们是爱的伤口。”小男孩说。
“Who are you?” asks the Giant. The Giant has a strange sensation. He kneels in front of the little boy.
“你是谁？”巨人问道。巨人有一种奇异的预感，他在小男孩跟前跪了下来。
The child smiles at the Giant and says, “You let me play in your garden, today you can come with me to my garden. It is Paradise.”
小男孩对着巨人微笑着，说道：“你让我在你的花园里玩，今天，我要带你到我的花园里去——那就是天堂。”
When the children come to the garden they find the Giant dead under a tree. He is covered with white blossoms.
当孩子们来到花园时，他们发现巨人死在一棵树下，他的身上盖满了白色美丽的花。
