双语格林童话：教父(2)
He asked them, "Where does the godfather live?"
他问它们：「教父住在哪儿？」
The broom answered, "Up one more flight of stairs."
扫把回答说：「在很多楼梯上面。」
When he came to the second flight, he saw a heap of dead fingers lying. He asked, "Where does the godfather live?"
他上到第二段楼梯，看到一堆死手指。他问它们：「教父住在哪儿？」
One of the fingers answered, "Up one more flight of stairs."
其中一个手指回答说：「再上一层楼。」
On the third flight lay a heap of dead men's heads, and they directed him still another flight higher. On the fourth flight, he saw fish on the fire, sizzling in a pan and baking themselves. They too said, "Up one more flight of stairs."
三楼是一堆死人头，它们也说教父住在上面一层。他在四楼看到各种各样的鱼在火上烤着，它们也说：「再上一层楼。」
And when he had climbed the fifth, he came to the door of a room and peeped through the keyhole. There he saw the godfather who had a pair of long horns. When he opened the door and went in, the godfather quickly got into bed and covered himself up.
他来到五楼，看到有扇门，就从锁孔往里看，结果看到了长着两只长长的犄角的教父。他推开门走了进去，教父急忙躺到床上，用被子把自己盖上。
The man then said, "Godfather, sir, strange things are going on in your house. When I came to your first flight of stairs, the dustpan and the broom were fighting, and violently hitting one another."
这人说：「教父先生，您的房子多奇怪呀！我在一楼看到扫把和铁锹又吵又打。」
"How stupid you are," said the godfather. "That was the servant-boy and the maid talking to each other."
「你多愚蠢呀！」教父说：「那是一个小伙子和一个姑娘在说话呢！」
"But on the second flight I saw dead fingers lying there."
「可我在二楼看到很多死人的手指头。」
