HENNY-PENNY
母鸡潘姬

ONE day Henny-penny was picking up corn inthe rick-yard when—whack!—an acorn hit her upon the head. "Goodnessgracious me!" said Henny-penny; "the sky's a-going to fall; I must goand tell the King."
一天,母鸡潘姬正在她的干草垛院子里捡玉米粒。突然,只听“咚”的一声,一个橡实砸中了她的脑袋。“上帝保佑!”母鸡潘姬叫了起来;“天要塌下来了;我得赶紧告诉国王。”

So she went along, and she went along, andshe went along till she met Cocky-locky. "Where are you going,Henny-penny?" says Cocky-locky. "Oh! I'm going to tell the King thesky's a-falling," says Henny-penny. "May I come with you?" saysCocky-locky. "Certainly," says Henny-penny. So Henny-penny andCocky-locky went to tell the King the sky was falling.
于是她出发了。她走啊走。走啊走。路上遇见了公鸡罗吉“母鸡潘姬~你要去哪儿呀?”公鸡罗吉问道“喔!我要去告诉国王天快塌下来了。”母鸡潘姬回答。“我能跟你一起去吗?”公鸡罗吉说。“好呀!”母鸡潘姬说。然后母鸡潘姬和公鸡罗吉一起去告诉国王天要塌了。

They went along, and they went along, andthey went along, till they met Ducky-daddles. "Where are you going to,Henny-penny and Cocky-locky?" says Ducky-daddles. "Oh! we're going totell the King the sky's a-falling," said Henny-penny and Cocky-locky."May I come with you?" says Ducky-daddles. "Certainly,"said Henny-penny and Cocky-locky. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, andDucky-daddles went to tell the King the sky was a-falling.
他们两个走啊走。走啊走。走啊走。路上遇见了野鸭达亚。“母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉,你们要去哪儿呀?”野鸭达亚问道“喔!我们要去告诉国王天快塌下来了。”母鸡潘姬和公鸡罗吉同时说道。“我能跟你们一起去吗?”野鸭达亚说。“好呀!”母鸡潘姬和公鸡罗吉说。然后母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉和野鸭达亚一起去告诉国王天要塌了。

So they went along, and they went along,and they went along, till they met Goosey-poosey. "Where are you going to,Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, and Ducky-daddles?" said Goosey-poosey."Oh! we're going to tell the King the sky's a-falling," saidHenny-penny and Cocky-locky and Ducky-daddles. "May I come with you?"said Goosey-poosey. "Certainly," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, andDucky-daddles. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-pooseywent to tell the King the sky was a-falling.
他们三个走啊走。走啊走。走啊走。路上遇见了小鹅帕娥。“母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉和野鸭达亚,你们要去哪儿呀?”小鹅帕娥问道“喔!我们要去告诉国王天快塌下来了。”母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉和野鸭达亚同时说道。“我能跟你们一起去吗?”小鹅帕娥说。“好呀!”母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉和野鸭达亚说。然后母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚和小鹅帕娥一起去告诉国王天要塌了。

So they went along, and they went along,and they went along, till they met Turkey-lurkey. "Where are you going,Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey?" saysTurkey-lurkey. "Oh! we're going to tell the King the sky'sa-falling," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, andGoosey-poosey. "May I come with you, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky,Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey?" said Turkey-lurkey. "Oh,certainly, Turkey-lurkey," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles,and Goosey-poosey. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey,and Turkey-lurkey all went to tell the King the sky was a-falling.
他们四个走啊走。走啊走。走啊走。路上遇见了火鸡乐基。“母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚和小鹅帕娥,”你们要去哪儿呀?”火鸡乐基问道“喔!我们要去告诉国王天快塌下来了。”母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚和小鹅帕娥同时说道。“我能跟你们一起去吗?”火鸡乐基说。“好呀!”母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚和小鹅帕娥说。然后母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥和火鸡乐基一起去告诉国王天要塌了。

So they went along, and they went along,and they went along, till they met Foxy-woxy, and Foxy-woxy said toHenny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey:"Where are you going, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles,Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey?" And Henny-penny, Cocky-locky,Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey said to Foxy-woxy, "We'regoing to tell the King the sky's a-falling." "Oh! but this is not theway to the King, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey,"says Foxy-woxy; "I know the proper way; shall I show it you?""Oh, certainly, Foxy-woxy," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky,Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky,Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, Turkey-lurkey,and Foxy-woxy all went to tell the King the sky was a-falling. So they wentalong, and they went along, and they went along, till they came to a narrow anddark hole. Now this was the door of Foxy-woxy's burrow. But Foxy-woxy said toHenny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey,"This is the short cut to the King's palace: you'll soon get there if youfollow me. I will go first and you come after, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky,Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey." "Why of course,certainly, without doubt, why not?" said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky,Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey.
他们五个走啊走。走啊走。走啊走。路上遇见了狐狸沃利。“母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥和火鸡乐基,你们去哪儿呀?”狐狸沃利问他们。母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥和火鸡乐基对狐狸沃利说:“我们要去告诉国王天快塌下来了”“喔!但这条路去不了国王那儿呢~母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥和火鸡乐基”狐狸沃利说“我知道正确的路哦~告诉你们吧?”“啊,好呀,狐狸沃利,” 母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥和火鸡乐基说。于是母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥、火鸡乐基和狐狸沃利一起去告诉国王天要塌了。他们六个走啊走。走啊走。走啊走。直到他们看见一个狭窄阴暗的洞口。其实这是狐狸沃利的家门。但狐狸沃利对母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥和火鸡乐基说:“这是去王宫最短的路,跟我走的话你们很快就到了。母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥和火鸡乐基。我先走你们跟上喔~”“当然。好极了。毫无疑问。干嘛不去?”母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥和火鸡乐基说。

So Foxy-woxy went into his burrow, and hedidn't go very far but turned round to wait for Henny-penny, Cocky-locky,Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey. Now Turkey-lurkey was thefirst to go through the dark hole into the burrow. He hadn't got far when—
于是狐狸沃利进了他的地洞。没走多远他就转身等母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥、火鸡乐基。现在火鸡乐基是第一个穿过暗洞走进地穴的。他还没走远突然——

"Hrumph!"
“唔!”

Foxy-woxy snapped off Turkey-lurkey's headand threw his body over his left shoulder. Then Goosey-poosey went in, and—
狐狸沃利猛地咬下火鸡乐基的脑袋。把他的身体扔过自己的左肩。接着小鹅帕娥进来了,这时——

"Hrumph!"
“唔!”

Off went her head and Goosey-poosey wasthrown beside Turkey-lurkey. Then Ducky-daddles waddled down, and—
没脑袋的小鹅帕娥被扔在火鸡乐基旁边。接着野鸭达亚摇摇摆摆地走下来——

"Hrumph!"
“唔!”

Foxy-woxy had snapped off Ducky-daddles'head and Ducky-daddles was thrown alongside Turkey-lurkey and Goosey-poosey.Then Cocky-locky strutted down into the burrow and he hadn't gone far when—
狐狸沃利咬下野鸭达亚的脑袋,把他和火鸡乐基、小鹅帕娥丢在一起。接着公鸡罗吉趾高气扬地走下地穴。他没走几步——

"Hrumph!"
“唔!”

But Cocky-locky will always crow whetheryou want him to do so or not, and so he had just time for one"Cock-a-doodle-d—" before he went to join Turkey-lurkey,Goosey-poosey, and Ducky-daddles over Foxy-woxy's shoulders.
但是,不管你愿不愿意,公鸡罗吉总是会喔喔叫的。所以他只来得及发出一声“喔——唔——噢”就和火鸡乐基、小鹅帕娥、野鸭达亚一起压在狐狸沃利的肩膀上了。

Now when Henny-penny, who had just got intothe dark burrow, heard Cocky-locky crow, she said to herself:
当母鸡潘姬刚要走进地穴时,就听见公鸡罗吉的叫声,她对自己说:

"My goodness! it must be dawn. Timefor me to lay my egg."
“我的天哪!一定快天亮了。我应该去生蛋了。”

So she turned round and bustled off to hernest; so she escaped, but she never told the King the sky was falling!
所以她转身匆忙跑回她的窝;她逃脱了,但她从没有告诉国王天要塌了。

抛砖引玉

我知道才一篇不够资格 慢慢来嘛~(不翻一篇等久了我大概热情就熄灭了

总觉得这篇最难翻的是名字 搜到一个小母鸡潘妮的视频 听着念那一串名字很有趣 但是不知道怎么译有那种节奏感 自以为是的改成这样 现在看觉得音节很多很罗嗦 唉~大概会成反面教材?

顺手选到这篇了 没啥特别喜欢的说法 一边译一边读 读完觉得是个恐怖故事 (好吧方法不正确

原来四眼天鸡的动画来源是这个童话么?很可爱啊~(啥?两个完全不一样啊

豆瓣观光 翻译新人 就这样吧~ (呃 废话好多……

————————————————

母鸡潘姬、公鸡罗吉、野鸭达亚、小鹅帕娥、火鸡乐基和狐狸沃利

母鸡咯咯、公鸡啼啼、鸭子嘎嘎、小鹅哦哦、火鸡肥肥和狐狸狡狡 (这样呢?

……名字各种毁……真心感谢各位的意见……我还真是无能为力……(好吧 没有认真思考……OTL

对了,母鸡说要去“Lay my eggs”, 应该是下蛋,不是孵蛋?
严重同意,翻译名字的确很费脑细胞。表情占位:s:138表情占位:s:138

不过结局也和楼主的翻译本不同。

蓝姑草,有空还可以再修改哦!那些名字,,,还有,DUCK,应该不是野的,这故事里的形象都是农场动物。

#5 大手拉小手 2010-09-04

我看过中英文对照的一个版本,结尾是它们都被狐狸吃了,蓝姑草这几个动物名字翻得挺好,押韵

#6 蓝姑草 2010-09-04

啊~的确是……下蛋来着……我为什么莫名会觉得是躺在蛋上 (当年一直没搞清楚那些过去式啥的  词义经常就朦胧地看 泪) 谢谢远行~嗯

等考完试再改这篇好了 因为还不太知道修改方向来着(比如名字  虽然LS各位都有提好的意见 嗯~暂时先放一放

看来这故事很知名的样子啊~

有时间再译几篇 感觉好好玩的样子捏~

#7 风吹过 2010-09-06

母鸡和小鹅什么的其实都是大写的,也就是组成名字的一部分,是不是可以参考米老鼠唐老鸭那样的方式,翻译成胖胖鸡之类的比较像名字又很好玩的专有名词?

#8 annamim 2010-11-09

我有个类似的版本,芭芭拉·库尼的早期作品,故事主角是鹅或鸭,担心的是月亮。
原文很是琅琅上口,读起来风生水起——要是风生和水起能形容这种流畅的话。
可惜我一下子不记得书名,维基上芭芭拉的作品目录似乎也没收。

#9 书虫点爸 2010-12-31

虽有翻得不尽人意的地方(个别词的拿捏),远行、囡妈等已经提过,按下不表,单就几个角色的名字我觉得翻得不错,挺给力的,有点儿意思。故事也不错!鼓励一下!

#10 小梅仙子 2011-01-02

潘姬这个名字的确好,让人一看就记住了。表情占位:s:134
