Rip Van Winkle (2) |

| |
李伯大夢 (2) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
When Rip awoke, the little man and Rip's dog were gone. Scratching his chin, Rip discovered his beard had grown almost to his knees. When he walked back to town, he saw that many of the buildings had changed. The villagers were all dressed strangely, and he didn't know where to find his friends. A crowd gathered and asked who he was. "I'm Rip Van Winkle, a loyal subject of King George of England," he said. |
|
| |
"We no longer serve the king!" the villagers yelled back. "We are an independent country!" Rip was very confused. Was he in the wrong village? Then a woman with a small child stepped forward and said that she knew a man named Rip Van Winkle. He had disappeared twenty years ago. In fact, Rip Van Winkle was the woman's father, and the child was his granddaughter. The woman told him that her mother, Rip's wife, was now dead. Rip realized then that the dwarf had taught him a cruel lesson about laziness. He went home to live with his daughter and promised never to neglect his family again. |

當李伯醒來時，小矮人和李伯的狗都不見了。他搔搔下巴，發現他的鬍子已經快長到膝蓋了。當他走回鎮上時，他看到很多建築物都變了。村民們全都穿得很奇怪，而且他不知道要上哪去找他的朋友。有一群人聚集起來問他是誰。他說：「我是李伯•凡•溫可，是英國國王喬治陛下的忠實臣民。」 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
村民們對他大聲回喊：「我們不再服侍國王了！我們是一個獨立的國家！」李伯覺得非常疑惑。他走錯村了嗎？然後有個帶著小孩的女子站出來說她認識一個叫李伯•凡•溫可的人。他在二十年前就失蹤了。事實上，李伯•凡•溫可就是那名女子的爸爸，而那個小孩是他的孫女。那名女子告訴他說她的媽媽，也就是李伯的太太，現在已經過世了。那時李伯才醒悟到那個小矮人給了他一個殘酷的教訓，訓誡他的懶惰。他回家和他女兒一起生活，並保證再也不會忽略他的家人了。 |
