西尔维公主

从前有个身材高大、身体强壮的国王，他有一个女儿，被称为西尔维公主。国王和西尔维公主都喜欢到宫廷的花园里去散步。西尔维公主穿着她那件漂亮的蓝色天鹅绒连衣裙，而国王总是在他的口袋里为公主装一些糖果。

有一天，他们一起出去散步，还带着西尔维的狗“奥斯卡”。

Once there was a big strong king who had a daughter. She was called Princess Sylvie. The king and Princess Sylvie loved going for walks in the palace gardens. Princess Sylvie wore her pretty blue velvet dress, and the king always had sweets in his pockets for her.

One day they set out for a walk with Sylvie’s dog, Oskar.

他们走到了墙上的一扇门前，那里离王宫已经很远了。但西尔维还不太想回家。

“我们能到树林里去吗？”她问。

“让我们看看我的钥匙能不能打开这把锁吧，”国王说，“我以前从来没有走出过这扇门。”

They came to a gate in the wall, a long way from the palace. Sylvie didn’t want to go home yet.

“Can we go into the wood?” she asked.

“Let’s see if my key fits the lock,” said the king. “I’ve never been through this gate before.”
