The nightingale, originally from Andersen's fairy tales, is the only oriental story.
As you probably know, in China, the emperor is from China, and the people around him are also from China. This story happened many years ago. this
The emperor's hall is the most magnificent in the world. It is made entirely of fine tiles, which are very valuable, but very fragile, if you want to touch them.
You must be very careful when touching it. People can see the strangest flowers in the world in the royal garden. The most expensive flowers are tied with silver.
Bells make passers-by pay attention to these flowers as soon as they hear them. Yes, everything in the emperor's garden is well decorated.
The garden is so big that even the gardener doesn't know where its end is. If one goes straight ahead, one can touch it.
Go to a dense forest with a big tree and a deep lake. The forest extends to the deep blue sea.
The great ship can sail under the branches. There lived a nightingale in the Woods. It sings beautifully, even if it is a busy poor fisherman.
When Dave went out to close the net at night, he had to stop to enjoy the nightingale's singing.
"My God, how beautiful!" He said. But he must do his job, so he must forget the bird. But second,
The bird sang again last night. When the fisherman heard this song, he couldn't help saying the same thing: "My God, how beautiful it is!" "
Tourists from all over the world come to the emperor's capital to enjoy the imperial city, official halls and gardens. But when they heard the nightingale sing
At that time, they all said, "This is the most beautiful thing!"
When these travelers returned to their motherland, they talked about it. So many scholars have written many books about imperial cities, palaces and gardens.
People who can write poems have also written many beautiful poems, praising the nightingale who lives in the Woods.
These books are popular all over the world. Several books were actually very popular with the emperor. He sat in his golden chair, reading and reading: every second.
For the first time, he was comfortable to read because of the detailed description of the imperial city, palaces and gardens.
"But the nightingale is the most beautiful thing," the sentence was clearly put in front of him.
"What is this?" The emperor said. "nightingale! I didn't know this nightingale existed! Is there such a bird in my empire? and
Is it still in my garden? I have never heard of such a thing! You can only read it in books! "
So he called his entourage. This is a noble figure. Anyone younger than him, as long as he dares to talk to him or
When asked about something, he always simply replied, "bah!" " -this word is meaningless.
"It is said that there is a strange bird called nightingale here!" The emperor said. "People say it is the most precious thing in my great empire.
West side. Why has no one ever mentioned it in front of me? "
"I have never heard of its name," said the courtier. "No one has ever brought it to the palace!"
"I ordered: I must bring it here tonight and sing in front of me." The emperor said. "The whole world knows what good things I have, and so do I.
I don't know! "
"I have never heard of its name," said the courtier. "I have to look for it! I have to look for it! "
But where can I find it? Courtiers walked up and down the steps, running around the halls and corridors, but what did he meet?
People say that they have never heard of any nightingale. The courtiers had to run back to the emperor, saying that this must be fabricated by the writer.
Myth.
Your majesty, please don't believe what is written in the book. Most of these things are nonsense-the so-called' nonsense'. "
"But the book I read," said the emperor, "was sent by the powerful Japanese emperor, so it must not be fabricated. I
Listen to the nightingale! We must get it tonight! I ordered it to come! If you don't come tonight, everyone in the office,
As soon as you finish your meal, you should give it a good beating in the stomach! "
"admire 1!" The courtiers said. So he walked up and down the steps again, running up and down the halls and corridors. Half the people in the palace are following.
Take him everywhere, because everyone doesn't want to get hit in the stomach.
So they began a large-scale investigation, investigating this strange nightingale-everyone except the official court.
Everyone knows the nightingale.
Finally, they met a poor little girl in the kitchen. She said:
"Oh, my God, you are looking for the nightingale! I know all this too well. It sings beautifully. Every night, everyone allows me to put the table.
Take some leftover rice from the dining table home and give it to my poor sick mother, who lives by the sea. When I was walking on my way home
When I am tired, I rest in the Woods, and then I hear the nightingale singing. Then my tears came out, and I
I feel my mother kissing me! "
This is a transliteration of a Chinese word quoted by Andersen. The original text is jsing'Pe!
"Little girl!" The courtier said, "I will try to get you a permanent position in the kitchen and show you the emperor's privilege of eating."
But you must take us to see the nightingale, because it will perform in front of the emperor tonight. "
So they walked together to the forest where nightingales often sang. Half the people in the palace have gone out. When they walk.
Wait, a cow is starting to bark.
"ah!" A young aristocrat said, "Now we can find it!" Such a small animal is very loud! I
I've heard this voice somewhere before. "
"Wrong, this is Niu Jiao!" Meidochan in the kitchen said. "We are still far from that place."
Then, the frog in the swamp cried.
The court priest in China said, "Now I hear it-it sounds like Jason Chung in a temple."
"Wrong, this is the frog's cry!" Meidochan in the kitchen said. "But I think we can hear the nightingale soon."
So the nightingale began to sing.
"This is it!" Meidochan said, "Listen, listen! It lives there. "
She pointed to a gray bird on the branch.
"Is this possible?" The courtiers said. "I never thought it would be like this! Look how ordinary it is! This must be
Because seeing so many officials around you has lost its luster. "
"Little Nightingale!" Meidochan in the kitchen shouted, "Our kind emperor wants you to sing in front of him."
"I am very happy!" The nightingale said that it sang a beautiful song.
"Sounds like a glass bell!" The courtiers said. "You see, how well its little voice sings! Strange to say, we have never had it before.
I have heard of it. If the bird goes to the palace, it will definitely make everyone like it! "
"Do you want me to sing in front of the emperor again?" Asked the nightingale, because it thought the emperor was there.
"My perfect nightingale!" The courtier said, "I feel very honored to order you to attend the banquet in the palace." You must use your beauty.
The wonderful voice entertained the emperor of the holy dynasty. "
"My song can only be sung best in the green forest!" Said the nightingale. However, when it heard that the emperor wanted to see it, it was still
Yes
The palace is newly decorated. Tile walls and paved floors sparkle in the light of countless golden lamps. Silver bells are the most
The beautiful flowers have been moved to the corridor now. There are many people running around in the corridor, rolling up a breeze and making all the bells ring.
The tinkling sound is so loud that people can't even hear their own voices.
In the center of the hall where the emperor sat, a golden perch was erected, on which the nightingale could perch. The whole court is here.
Now, Meidochan in the kitchen is also allowed to stand behind the door and wait on her-because she now has a real title of "kitchen servant"
Everyone put on their best clothes. Everyone looked at the gray bird and the emperor nodded to it.
So the nightingale sang so beautifully that even the emperor shed tears. All the way to the face. When the nightingale sings better.
Hou, its singing touched the emperor's heartstrings. The emperor looked so happy that he even ordered to hang up his gold slippers.
On this bird's neck. But the nightingale refused, saying that she had given enough.
"I saw the tears in the eyes of the emperor-this is the most precious thing for me. The emperor's tears have a special power. god
Yes, I got a lot of pay! "So it sang again with a sweet and happy voice.
"We have never seen such a lovely coquetry!" Some ladies-in-waiting present said. When people talk to them, they
They deliberately poured water into their mouths and giggled: they thought they were nightingales, too The page and the maids also expressed their opinions.
It is hard to say that they are satisfied, because they are the most difficult people to satisfy. In a word: night
The warbler was a great success.
The nightingale will now live in the palace and have its own cage-it only goes out twice during the day and once for a walk at night.
Freedom. There are always twelve servants following each time. They are holding a silk thread tied to its leg-they always pull it tightly. be just like
Such a trip is not an easy and pleasant thing.
People all over the capital are talking about this strange bird. When two people meet, one only needs to say "good night", and the other will.
Then say "warbler" (1) So the two sighed at each other and understood each other. 1 1 A peddler's child was named "Nightingale"
Names, but none of them can sing.
(1) "nightingale" in Danish is Nattergal〔Nattergal〕)), the author here seems to deliberately played a joke on the text, because if the word is removed.
Open, the first half becomes natter (night-plural); Then the second half of "warbler" becomes gal, but the word gal means "crazy" in Danish.
Think about it.
One day, the emperor received a big package, which read "Nightingale".
"This is another book about our famous birds!" The emperor said.
But this is not a book; But the handicraft in the box-artificial nightingale. It's like a born nightingale.
Yes, but it's all diamonds, rubies and sapphires. This artificial bird can sing as long as it is wound.
Songs sung by real nightingales; Its tail moves up and down, giving off gold and silver light. It has a small ribbon around its neck.
It reads: "The nightingale of the Japanese emperor is naturally not as good as the nightingale of the Japanese emperor."
"It's beautiful!" Everyone said. The man who sent this artificial nightingale immediately got a title: "Royal Chief Nightingale Ambassador."
Who? " Now let them sing together, what a wonderful duet it will be! "
In this way, they will sing together, but this method won't work, because the real nightingale just walks in her own way.
It means singing, and this artificial bird can only sing the old tune of "waltz"
Now the artificial bird has to sing alone. Its success is comparable to that of a real nightingale; In addition, its appearance is
Much more beautiful-shining like a gold bracelet and a collar button.
It sang the same tune for thirty-three times and didn't feel tired. Everyone is willing to continue listening, but the emperor said that one is alive.
The nightingale should also sing something, but where did it go? No one noticed that it had flown out of the window.
Back to the green forest.
"What does this mean?" The emperor said.
All courtiers cursed the nightingale, saying it was an ungrateful thing.
"We finally have the best bird." They said.
So the artificial bird is going to sing again. They listened to the same tune for the thirty-fourth time. Even so, they also
I can't remember clearly, because this piece of music is very difficult. The musician spoke highly of the bird. He definitely said it was better than that.
A real nightingale is much better! Not only from its feathers and many diamonds, but also from its interior.
He also said, "Ladies and gentlemen, especially your Majesty, you should know that you will never guess that a real nightingale can sing."
What songs are played; However, in this artificial nightingale's body, everything has been arranged. What song should it sing? What song does it sing?
Tune! You can take it apart and look at its internal activities: where does its "waltz" start and end?
There will be others. Pick up his music. "
"This is exactly what we want," everyone said.
So musicians are allowed to show the bird to the public next Sunday. The emperor said that the common people should also listen.
Song. They also heard about it later and were very satisfied. They are as happy as they drink tea-because tea is the best.
The habits of this country. They all said, "Hey!" At the same time, erect your index finger and nod. But the fisherman who heard the real nightingale sing said.
"It sings well, just like a real bird, but it always seems to lack something-although I don't know what it is.
What! "
The real nightingale was banished from this land and empire.
The artificial nightingale sat on the silk cushion beside the emperor's bed. All the gifts it gets-gold and precious stones-
Are displayed around it. In terms of title, it has been rated as "noble royal night singer". In terms of rank, it has been
It rose to the position of "left head" because the emperor thought that the left side of the atrium was the most important side-even the emperor, his
The heart is also on the left. The musician wrote a 25-volume book about this artificial bird: this is a book with deep knowledge and long length, and it is used.
A book written by some of the most difficult Chinese characters. Ministers said that they had all read the book and understood its contents because they were all afraid.
Be treated as a fool and beaten in the stomach.
A whole year has passed. The emperors, courtiers and others in China remembered every tune of the song sung by this artificial bird.
But now everyone knows: everyone likes this bird better-now everyone can sing with it. Street children
Children sing, cheep-cheep-cheep-glug-glug! The emperor sang it himself-yes, it's lovely!
But one night, when the artificial bird sang best, when the emperor was lying in bed listening, the bird's body
The body suddenly hissed. Something is broken. "Shh-"Suddenly, all the wheels are spinning wildly.
Come, so the song stopped.
The emperor immediately jumped out of bed and ordered his doctor to be called. But what could the doctor do, so everyone went to ask for the clock.
Here comes the craftsman. After some consultation and inspection, he finally managed to repair the bird, but he said that the bird must be careful in the future.
Protection, because the gears inside have been worn out, it is very difficult to match them with a new one that can play music. This is really a
Sad thing! This bird can only sing once a year, which is too much! But the musician performed a short performance.
Say-it's full of difficult words-he said the bird is as good as before, so of course it's as good as before. ...
Five years have passed. A very sad thing has finally happened in this country. People in this country like their emperor very much.
The emperor, and he is now treating diseases. It is said that he will not stay in this world for long. The new emperor has been chosen. People ran into the street and asked
The courtiers asked about their old emperor's illness.
"Bah!" He shook his head and said.
The emperor was lying on his gorgeous big bed, cold and pale. The whole court thought he was dead, and everyone ran to find the new emperor.
Go there to pay tribute. The servants all ran out to talk about it, and the maids began to prepare for the grand coffee party. All the places, in the hall.
And the corridors are covered with cloth, so the footsteps won't ring, so it's very quiet here now, very quiet. But the emperor
Before he died, he lay stiff and pale in a Zhang Huali bed with velvet curtains and thick gold thread.
ear The window above is open, and the moon shines on the emperor and the artificial bird.
The poor emperor could hardly breathe. There seems to be something pressing on his chest. He opened his eyes and saw death.
Sitting on his chest, he still wears his golden crown, holding the emperor's sword in one hand and his luxury medal in the other.
Flag. There are many grotesque heads sneaking out from the folds of velvet curtains around, some are ugly, some are gentle and lovely. this
These things represent the good and bad things that the emperor did. Since death is sitting on his heart, these grotesque heads are special.
Reach out to see him.
"Do you remember this?" One by one, they whispered, "Do you remember?" They told him many things that made him
A lot of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"I don't know about it!" The emperor said. "Quick play music! Play the music quickly! Knock on the big drum! " He shouted.
Come on, "so I can't hear what they say!" " "
However, they have been talking. Death nodded at what they said-just like China.
"Play music! Play music! " The emperor cried. "You this precious golden bird, sing, sing! I gave you a valuable gold gift; I used to hang my gold slippers around your neck myself-now please sing, sing! "
But the bird stood still, because no one would wind it, and it couldn't sing without winding it. no
But death continued to stare at the emperor with his big empty eyes. There was silence all around, terrible silence.
At this moment, at this moment, there is a most beautiful song singing at the window. This is a little nightingale alive.
On a branch outside, it heard the emperor's sad situation. Now it comes to sing some songs of comfort and hope to him. When it sings
At this time, the faces of those ghosts gradually faded, and at the same time, blood began to flow actively in the weak limbs of the emperor. even
Death himself began to listen to this song. He said, "Sing, little nightingale, please keep singing!" " "
"However, would you like to give me that beautiful Jin Jian? Can you give me that luxurious flag? Will you give me the emperor's crown?
Really? "
Death traded all these precious things for a song. So the nightingale continued to sing. It sings the quiet church.
Cemetery-the place where white roses grow, the place where elderberry trees give off sweet fragrance, and the newly-born grassland is covered with tears of survivors.
At this time, death fondly missed his garden, so it turned into a cold white fog and disappeared in front of the window.
"Thank you, thank you!" The emperor said. "You sacred bird! I understand you now. I expel you from my land and empire.
Go, but you drive those evil faces away from my bed with your singing, and you also remove death from my heart. What would I use?
Repay you? "
"You have repaid me!" The nightingale said, "When I first sang, I got your tears from your eyes-I will never forget them."
I don't remember. Every tear is a gem-it can make the singer's heart bloom. But please sleep now, please.
Keep your spirits up and become healthy. I will drink another song for you. "
It sang like this-the emperor fell asleep sweetly. Ah, how gentle and pleasant this feeling is!
When he woke up, he felt refreshed and refreshed, and the sun shone on him through the window. One of his entourage
No one came because they thought he was dead. But the nightingale still stood beside him, singing.
"Please live with me forever," said the emperor. "You like singing. I'll tear that artificial bird to pieces.
Movies. "
"Please don't do this," said the nightingale. "It has done its best. Let it stay with you. I can't be in the office.
Nesting and living; However, when I think of coming, please let me come. At dusk, I will perch on the branches outside the window.
In fact, what songs I sing to you will make you happy and make you think deeply. I will sing about those who are happy and those who suffer. I can sing.
Sing the good and evil hidden around you. Your little songbird is going on a long trip now. It will fly to poor fishermen and farmers.
On the roof of the people, fly to everyone who is far away from you and your court. I love your heart more than your crown. In that way
But the crown also has its sacred side. I will sing for you again, but I ask you to promise me one thing. "
"Anything will do!" The emperor said. He stood in royal robes and held the heavy Jin Jian to his chest.
"I ask you one thing: please don't tell anyone that you have a bird that will tell you everything. Only in this way,
Everything will be wonderful. "
So the nightingale flew away.
The attendants all came in to see their dead emperor-yes, they all stood there, and the emperor said:
"Good morning!"
