Once upon a time, there was a beautiful garden. It belonged to a Giant, but the Giant hadn't been at home for a long time. Children loved playing in the garden, because the flowers there were beautiful, and the birds there sang moving songs.

從前，有一個美麗的花園，這個花園屬于一個巨人，可這個巨人很久都沒有回家了。孩子們很喜歡在他的花園里玩，因為這里有漂亮的花兒，還有歌聲動人的鳥兒。

One day, the Giant came back. He was angry that so many children were in his garden. He told them all to go away! Then, to make sure that the children could not come back, the Giant built a massive wall around his garden; and put up a sign that said: Trespassers will be prosecuted. What a selfish Giant!

一天，巨人回來了。他看到很多孩子在自己的花園里玩耍，非常生氣，于是便把孩子們統(tǒng)統(tǒng)趕出花園。為了不讓孩子們再來，他在花園周圍修筑了一堵高大的墻，還豎起一個告示牌，上面寫著：閑人莫入，違者必究。多么自私的巨人??！

The children were all sad. The flowers and the birds were sad, too. They missed the children. So the flowers did not grow in the Giant's garden anymore, and the birds flew away and did not sing in the Giant's garden anymore. From then on, it was winter all year long in the Giant's garden.

孩子們很傷心，花兒和鳥兒也很傷心，它們想念孩子們。花兒不再生長了，鳥兒也飛走了，巨人的花園里再也聽不到鳥兒的歌聲了。從那以后，花園里只有漫長的冬季。

The snow loved his garden, and covered all of the grass. As did the frost, who sprinkled himself all over the trees. Also the roaring wind, who blew constantly at his wall. But the Giant didn't want the snow, the frost, or the wind. He missed the flowers and the birds. He was very sad, and wished that he hadn't been so selfish.

雪喜歡巨人的花園，草地上覆蓋了厚厚的雪花；霜喜歡巨人的花園，樹枝上結(jié)滿了晶瑩的冰霜；呼嘯的風(fēng)也喜歡巨人的花園，它們不停地吹著那堵高高的墻。但是巨人不想要雪，不想要霜，也不想要風(fēng)，他想念花兒和鳥兒。他很傷心，覺得自己當(dāng)初要是不那么自私，那該多好啊。

One day, as the Giant was pondering his gloom, he heard the sound of a bird singing. He hadn't heard such a lovely song for such a long time! The Giant looked out of his window, and with amazement and joy, found that a part of the wall had been blown down by the wind and the children were running into his garden. And with them, so returned the flowers and the birds.

一天，巨人正沉浸在悲傷之中， 突然外面?zhèn)鱽砹锁B兒的歌聲。他已經(jīng)很久沒有聽到這么好聽的聲音了！巨人驚喜地望向窗外，只見有一段墻被風(fēng)吹倒了，孩子們正跑進(jìn)他的花園，伴隨著孩子們一起來的，還有花兒和鳥兒。

The children were planting flowers on the ground, and the flowers brought the birds. The Giant leapt out of the window to help them. He was selfish no more! He then tore down his wall, ripped up his sign, and told the children that they could play in his garden forever. The children all cheered, and the Giant smiled to himself.

孩子們把花兒種到土地上，花兒又引來了鳥兒。巨人跳出窗戶去幫助他們，他再也不自私了！巨人拆掉了那堵墻，撤下了告示牌。他告訴孩子們，他們可以永遠(yuǎn)在他的花園里玩耍。孩子們歡呼起來，巨人的臉上也綻放出了笑容。
