把它放在我的围裙上，然后拿走你想要的钱。

Place him upon my apron, and then take what money you please.

然而，如果你最喜欢金子，就走进第三个房间，那里有另一个装满金子的箱子。

If, however, you like gold best, enter the third chamber, where there is another chest full of it.

坐在这个箱子上的狗非常可怕；

The dog who sits on this chest is very dreadful;

它的眼睛有塔那么大，但是不要在意它。

his eyes are as big as a tower, but do not mind him.

如果它也被放在我的围裙上，它就不能伤害你，你就可以从箱子里拿走你想要的金子。”

If he also is placed upon my apron, he cannot hurt you, and you may take from the chest what gold you will.”

“这是个不错的故事，” 士兵说；

“This is not a bad story,” said the soldier;

“但是我要给你什么呢，你这个老巫婆？

“but what am I to give you, you old witch?

因为，当然了，你不会打算白白告诉我这一切的。”

for, of course, you do not mean to tell me all this for nothing.”

“不，” 巫婆说；

“No,” said the witch;

“但是我不要一个便士。

“but I do not ask for a single penny.

只要答应给我带一个旧打火匣来，上次我祖母下去的时候把它落在那儿了。”

Only promise to bring me an old tinder - box, which my grandmother left behind the last time she went down there.”

“很好；

“Very well;

“我答应。

I promise.

现在把绳子系在我身上吧。”

Now tie the rope round my body.”

“给你绳子，” 巫婆回答道；

“Here it is,” replied the witch;

“这是我的蓝格子围裙。”

“and here is my blue checked apron.”

绳子一系好，士兵就爬上树，从树洞里下到下面的地面；

As soon as the rope was tied, the soldier climbed up the tree, and let himself down through the hollow to the ground beneath;

在这里，正如巫婆告诉他的那样，他发现了一个大厅，里面几百盏灯都亮着。

and here he found, as the witch had told him, a large hall, in which many hundred lamps were all burning.

然后他打开了第一扇门。

Then he opened the first door.

“啊！” 那里坐着一只狗，眼睛有茶杯那么大，正盯着他看。

“Ah!” there sat the dog, with the eyes as large as teacups, staring at him.

“你是个漂亮的家伙，” 士兵说着，抓住它，把它放在巫婆的围裙上，同时把口袋从箱子里装得满满的。

“You’re a pretty fellow,” said the soldier, seizing him, and placing him on the witch’s apron, while he filled his pockets from the chest with as many pieces as they would hold.

然后他盖上盖子，又让狗坐在上面，走进了另一个房间。果然，那里坐着一只眼睛有磨坊轮子那么大的狗。

Then he closed the lid, seated the dog upon it again, and walked into another chamber, And, sure enough, there sat the dog with eyes as big as mill - wheels.

“你最好别那样看着我，” 士兵说；

“You had better not look at me in that way,” said the soldier;

“你会让自己流眼泪的；”

“you will make your eyes water;”

然后他也把它放在围裙上，打开了箱子。

and then he seated him also upon the apron, and opened the chest.

但是当他看到箱子里有那么多银币时，他很快就扔掉了所有已经拿的铜币，然后口袋和背包里都装满了银币。

But when he saw what a quantity of silver money it contained, he very quickly threw away all the coppers he had taken, and filled his pockets and his knapsack with nothing but silver.

然后他走进第三个房间，那里的狗真的很可怕；

Then he went into the third room, and there the dog was really hideous;

它的眼睛，真的，有塔那么大，在脑袋里像轮子一样转来转去。

his eyes were, truly, as big as towers, and they turned round and round in his head like wheels.

“早上好，” 士兵碰了碰帽子说道，因为他这辈子从来没见过这样的狗。

“Good morning,” said the soldier, touching his cap, for he had never seen such a dog in his life.

但是更仔细地看了狗之后，他觉得自己已经够有礼貌了，于是他把狗放在地上，打开了箱子。

But after looking at him more closely, he thought he had been civil enough, so he placed him on the floor, and opened the chest.

天哪，好多金子啊！足够买下所有卖糖果的女人的糖棒；

Good gracious, what a quantity of gold there was! enough to buy all the sugar - sticks of the sweet - stuff women;

世界上所有的锡兵、鞭子和木马，甚至整个城镇本身。确实，数量巨大。

all the tin soldiers, whips, and rocking - horses in the world, or even the whole town itself There was, indeed, an immense quantity.

于是士兵现在扔掉了他拿的所有银币，而是用金子装满了他的口袋和背包；

So the soldier now threw away all the silver money he had taken, and filled his pockets and his knapsack with gold instead;

不仅是他的口袋和背包，甚至他的帽子和靴子也装满了，以至于他几乎走不动路。

and not only his pockets and his knapsack, but even his cap and boots, so that he could scarcely walk.

他现在真的很富有了；

He was really rich now;
