He says he is very rich and that he will make you the happiest princess in the world. What do you think?"Odile looked into the wizard's eyes."Do you promise to love me forever, with all your heart? Will you love me so much that you will not think of what you want, even if it hurts you to do this?"The look in her eyes and her questions made Rocford uncomfortable."Why do you ask me such questions?I told your father I could give you everything you could want."The Princess smiled and turned her head away."I'm sorry Father, but I will not marry this man. He does not know what love is."They did not know then that he was a wizard.Rocford had looked like a Prince.He wore beautiful clothes and looked very handsome.But, when he heard what Odile said to her father, his face began to change.It became old and ugly.His clothes changed from blue to black."You do not know what you are saying, you silly girl. I do not have to ask for what I want. I am a wizard,and I can do anything I please."He waved his hands through the air, and a fire started in the castle where the Princess and her parents lived.He had turned Odile into a small bird in a cage, and carried her to his castle where he locked her up in a tower.The entire kingdom was destroyed by this fire, and her parents were killed.There was a real bird in a cage in Odile's room at the wizard's castle.The wizard had put it there so that Odile would remember the power he had over her.He only let her leave the castle as a swan because he did not want other men to fall in love with her.At night, she stayed in her room talking to the bird, who was her only friend.She called the bird Patrice, because it was her mother's name."Oh Patrice, what should I do? The ball is tonight, and I am a prisoner here. I believe the Prince loves me with all his heart. I saw it in his eyes. He loved me even as a swan."Odile heard keys in her locked door.She put the bird and its cage behind a curtain,because she did not want the bird to see what was about to happen.翻译第四章：笼中的鸟奥迪尔的房间在城堡塔顶。罗福德把她从父母身边带走后，把她放在那里。她是这片土地上最美丽的公主，她的父母都很善良。罗福德问她的父亲是否可以嫁给奥迪尔。“我们必须问问我女儿的想法。”奥迪尔被带到巫师面前。“奥迪尔，有人向这个男人求婚。他说他很富有，他会让你成为世界上最幸福的公主。你觉得怎么样？”奥迪尔凝视着巫师的眼睛。“你答应永远全心全意地爱我吗？”你会不会爱我到不去想你想要什么，即使这样做会伤害到你？”她的眼神和她的问题让罗福德很不舒服。“你为什么问我这样的问题？”我告诉过你父亲，你想要什么我都可以给你。”公主笑了笑，转过头去。“对不起，爸爸，我不会嫁给这个人的。他不知道什么是爱。”那时他们还不知道他是个巫师。罗福德看上去像个王子。他穿着漂亮的衣服，看起来很英俊。但是，当他听到奥迪勒对她父亲说的话时，他的脸色开始变了。它变得又老又丑。他的衣服由蓝色变成了黑色。“你不知道你在说什么，你这个傻姑娘。我不需要要求我想要的。我是一个巫师，我可以做任何我想做的事。”他在空中挥挥手，公主和她父母住的城堡里燃起了大火。他把奥迪尔变成了一只关在笼子里的小鸟，把她带到他的城堡里，把她锁在一座高塔上。整个王国都被这场大火烧毁了，她的父母也被杀了。在巫师的城堡里，奥德勒的房间里有一只笼子里关着一只真鸟。巫师把它放在那里，是为了让奥迪尔记住他对她拥有的力量。他让她离开城堡只是因为他不想让其他男人爱上她。晚上，她呆在自己的房间里，和她唯一的朋友小鸟聊天。她叫这只鸟帕特里斯，因为这是她母亲的名字。“哦，帕特里斯，我该怎么办？”舞会就在今晚，而我却被囚禁在这里。我相信王子是全心全意地爱我的。我从他的眼睛里看出来了。他爱我就像爱天鹅一样。”奥迪尔听到锁门的声音。她把鸟儿和鸟笼放在帘子后面，因为她不想让鸟儿看到将要发生的事情。

Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky词汇提示1.maids 女仆2.splashing 水花3.wizard 男巫原文Chapter 2: The Beautiful PrincessOn the morning of the Royal Ball, everybody was very busy in the palace.The Queen's maids were preparing the Queen's dress.The servants cleaned the floors and windows, and the cooks were cooking enough food for a thousand people.The prince looked handsome in his red outfit.But he was still not happy.He left the palace to be alone and think, and went to the stone statue of Ozlowe."It's my birthday today Ozlowe. I'm eighteen. That means that I must marry someone and become King. The problem is I don't want to get married; I don't love anyone."There was a quiet splashing in the lake.Zigfried looked and saw the beautiful swan with the gold crown."There it is! The beautiful swan has come back."He went closer to the water to look at it.Its eyes had the same sadness in them, but it was happy to see Zigfried and it swam close to him.Zigfried looked into its eyes and talked to it."I think you understand me. I think you know how people feel."A tear fell from the swan's eye."Don't cry. You should be happy that you are a swan. You will never have to marry someone you do not love. You will never feel sad when someone dies."The swan made a loud cry.Its wings moved back and forth at its sides.Suddenly, an owl appeared as if from now here and flew at Zigfried's head, but it missed.The owl flew off, and the swan began to swim away."Wait. Don't leave."Zigfried ran round the edge of the lake, following the swan.He had to run fast to see where it went.Soon, he was in a part of the forest he did not know.Tall trees blocked out the sun.It was very dark.The swan swam to an ugly old castle.When it left the water, something magical happened; the swan turned into a beautiful Princess.She had long blonde hair and she wore along white dress.The crown was still on her head.Zigfried ran to where she stood at the castle door."Wait! Where are you going?"The Princess stopped, but she did not look at him."Look at me, please. My name is Prince Zigfried and I want to know who you are."The Princess turned to look at the Prince.She had the same dark, sad eyes of the swan."My name is Princess Odile.""But why were you a swan? Why do you look so sad?""An evil wizard called Rocford cast a spell on me. I may only leave the castle during the day as a swan.""Where is this wizard? I will talk to him. I will tell him this is wrong.""No, you mustn't. He will hurt you, I know. He does not want me to see another man."Tell me where this man is! I will fight him and free you.""No, you must leave. He is dangerous.""I won't leave until I see him;You must be set free.""Please. You are very kind, but you must go away.""I won't!"She looked into his eyes again."If you want to do something for me, you will leave now.""Odile, I will leave if you want me to. But I want you to come to the ball tonight. I must choose a wife and I want to choose you.""I can't. The wizard won't let me.""Find a way. Promise me you'll try."She spoke softly. "All right. I'll try."翻译第二章：美丽的公主在皇家舞会的早晨，宫殿里的每个人都很忙。女王的侍女正在准备女王的礼服。仆人们打扫地板和窗户，厨师们正在做足够一千人吃的食物。王子穿着那套红衣服看起来很英俊。但他仍然不高兴。他离开了宫殿，独自思考，走到奥兹罗石像跟前。“今天是我的生日，奥兹洛。我十八岁。这意味着我必须嫁给别人，成为国王。问题是我不想结婚；我谁也不爱。”湖面上有一阵平静的水花声。齐格弗里德看了看，看到了戴着金冠的美丽天鹅。“在那儿！”美丽的天鹅回来了。”他走近水边看了看。它的眼睛里也有同样的悲伤，但它看到Zigfried很高兴，就游向他。Zigfried看着它的眼睛，跟它说话。“我想你明白我的意思。我想你知道人们的感受。”一滴眼泪从天鹅的眼中滑落。“别哭了。你应该为你是一只天鹅而高兴。你永远不会嫁给一个你不爱的人。当有人去世时，你永远不会感到悲伤。”天鹅发出一声响亮的叫声。它的翅膀在身体两侧前后摆动。突然，一只猫头鹰不知从哪里冒出来，朝齐格弗里德的头顶飞去，但没打中。猫头鹰飞走了，天鹅开始游开了。”等。不离开。”齐格弗里德跟着天鹅绕着湖边跑。他不得不飞快地跑去看看它去了哪里。很快，他来到了森林里一个他不认识的地方。高大的树木遮住了阳光。天很黑。天鹅游向一座丑陋的古堡。当它离开水面时，神奇的事情发生了；天鹅变成了一位美丽的公主。她有一头金色的长发，穿着一条白色的长裙。王冠还戴在她头上。齐格弗里德跑到她站在城堡门口的地方。“等等!你要去哪儿？”公主停了下来，但她没有看他。“请看着我。我是齐格弗里德王子，我想知道你是谁。”公主转过身来看着王子。她有着和天鹅一样忧郁的眼睛。“我叫奥迪尔公主。”“可你为什么是一只天鹅呢？”你怎么看起来这么伤心？”“一个叫罗福德的邪恶巫师对我下了咒。我只能在白天作为天鹅离开城堡。”“这个巫师在哪儿？”我会和他谈谈的。我会告诉他这是不对的。”“不，你不可以。他会伤害你的，我知道。他不想让我见别的男人。“告诉我这个人在哪里！”我将与他战斗，解放你。”“不，你必须离开。他很危险。”“我不见到他就不走；你必须被释放。”“请。你真是太好了，但你必须离开。”“我不会!”她再次凝视着他的眼睛。“如果你想为我做点什么，现在就离开。”“奥迪尔，如果你要我走，我就走。但我希望你今晚能来参加舞会。我必须选一个妻子，我想选你。”“我不能。巫师不让我去。”“想办法。答应我你会试试的。”她轻声地说。“好吧。我试试看。”

They must not feel like me."His servant, Ozlowe, tried to make the prince smile by telling him jokes or doing funny tricks for him.But the Prince would not smile."I know you love me Ozlowe, but I cannot smile.

Thank you very much for inviting me here to talk about safety in dormitory and personal security.大家下午好。非常感谢你们邀请我来这里谈论宿舍安全和个人安全。First,a few points to bear in mind. You'll notice the doors of your dorm have two types of locks: a Yale lock and a Chubb lock.首先，要记住几点。你可以注意到你们宿舍的门有两种锁：耶尔锁和丘伯保险锁。Make sure you double-lock your door, not just one lock, both of them, however long you're going out for.要确保你们的门是双锁的，而不只是一把锁，需要两把，不论你出去多久。Make sure when you go out, all the windows are closed.出去的时候要确保所有的窗户都关着。Those of you in the ground and first floor rooms will notice that you have locking windows.地面上和一楼的人会注意到你的窗户是锁着的。Make sure you use them. Lock them every time you go out. Lock them at night.确保一定要锁上两把锁。每次你出去都把它们锁起来。晚上锁起来。If you've got expensive equipment in your room, first of all, insure it.如果你的房间里有昂贵的设备，首先，给它投保。So many people lose things and haven't got insurance. Make sure you insure it.很多人丢失了东西，而且没有保险。确保你给它投保。This brings me onto personal security. Wherever possible, avoid walking alone late at night, especially girl students.这让我想到了个人安全。在任何可能的情况下，避免在深夜独自行走，尤其是女生。Avoid dark streets, and try to stick to the well-lit streets whenever possible.尽量避开黑暗的街道，尽可能坚持走明亮的街道。Also,if you know you are going to be out late, make sure you've got enough money fora taxi to get home again, or arrange to stay with friends for the night.而且，如果你知道你要晚些时候出门，确保你有足够的钱叫辆出租车回家，或者安排和朋友一起过夜。It may sound absurd, but don't forget, the university actually offers free self-defence classes.这听起来可能有些荒唐，但别忘了，这所大学实际上提供免费的自卫课程。I hope it's something you'd never have to use, but, um, it's certainly worth going along to a few self-defence sessions.我希望这是你永远不会用到的东西，但是，嗯，确实应该参加一些自卫课程。

The Phantom of the Opera by Jennifer Basset原文Chapter 10: Madame Gigy visits the PersianFor weeks, all Paris talked about that night at the Opera.Everybody asked questions, but nobody knew the answers.Where was Christine Daae? Where was the Vicome de Chagny?Were they alive, or dead? And the Phantom of the Opera …?Some weeks after that famous night, Madame Giry went out one afternoon to a small house near the Rivoli gardens.She went in and up the stairs to some rooms at the top of the house.The Persian open the door.Madam, God looked at him."My friend, you know the answers. Please tell me. Are they alive or dead?""Come in,"the Persian said quietly.They sat down on some chairs by the window, and looked out across the Rivoli gardens."Yes," the Persian said slowly, "The Phantom is dead now. He did not want to live any longer. I saw his body three days ago, and because of that, I can talk to you about him. He cannot kill me now.""So the Phantom was really a man? " Madame Giry asked."Yes, his name was Erik. That was not his real name, of course. He was born in France, but I knew him in Persia. He was a famous builder and I worked with him there. For a time I was his friend, but not for long. When he came to Paris, I came after him – I wanted to watch him. He was a very clever, very dangerous man. He could be in two, or three, places at the same time. He could be in one place, and his voice could come from another place. He could do many clever things with ropes and mirrors, and secret doors. You see, he helped to build the Opera House. He built secret passages underground, and his secret house on the lake. He could not live in the outside world, because of his terrible, ugly face. Unhappy Erik! We can feel sorry for him,Madame Giry. He was so clever... and so ugly.People screamed when they saw his face.  And so he lived this strange life - Half man – Half phantom. But he was a man, in the end.  He wanted a woman's love. He stopped.And Madame Giry asked quietly, "And Christine Daae and VicomteRaoul? What happened to them?"The Persian smiled."Ah yes! What happened to young Raoul and the beautiful Christine...? Who knows."Nobody in Paris ever saw Raoul and Christine again.Perhaps they took a train to the north, and lived a quiet happy life together there.Perhaps Christine's wonderful voice is still singing, somewhere in the cold and beautiful mountains of Norway.Who knows.翻译第十章:吉丽夫人拜访波斯人几个星期以来，整个巴黎都在谈论歌剧院的那个晚上。每个人都问问题，但没有人知道答案。克丽斯廷·达埃在哪儿?夏尼伯爵在哪里?他们是活着还是死了?那歌剧魅影呢?那个著名的夜晚过后几个星期，一天下午，吉丽夫人到里沃利花园附近的一所小房子里去。她走了进去，上了楼梯，来到房子顶层的几个房间。波斯人打开了门。夫人，上帝看着他。“我的朋友，你知道答案。请告诉我。他们是死是活?”“请进。”波斯人平静地说。他们在窗边的几张椅子上坐了下来，望着窗外的里沃利花园。“是的，”波斯人慢慢地说，“幽灵现在已经死了。他不想再活了。三天前我看到了他的尸体，正因为如此，我才可以跟你谈谈他。他现在杀不了我了。”“这么说幻影真的是个人?”吉丽夫人问。“是的，他的名字叫埃里克。当然，这不是他的真名。他出生在法国，但我在波斯认识他。他是一位著名的建筑师，我在那里和他一起工作。有一段时间我是他的朋友，但并不长久。他来巴黎时，我跟着他——我想监视他。他是一个非常聪明，非常危险的人。他可能同时出现在两个或三个地方。他可能在一个地方，而他的声音可能来自另一个地方。他可以用绳子、镜子和暗门做很多聪明的事情。你知道，他帮助建造了歌剧院。他在地下建造了秘密通道，在湖上建造了他的秘密房子。他不能生活在外面的世界，因为他可怕的，丑陋的脸。不幸的埃里克!我们为他感到难过，吉丽夫人。他太聪明了……而且很丑。人们一看到他的脸就尖叫起来。于是他过着这种奇怪的生活——半人半鬼。但他终究是个男人。他想要女人的爱。他停止了。”吉丽夫人平静地问道:“克丽斯廷·达埃和拉乌尔子爵呢?他们后来怎么样了?”波斯人笑了。“哦,是的!年轻的拉乌尔和美丽的克里斯汀发生了什么事?谁知道。”巴黎再也没有人见过拉乌尔和克里斯汀。也许他们乘火车去了北方，在那里过着平静幸福的生活。也许克里斯汀美妙的声音还在歌唱，在挪威寒冷而美丽的山区的某个地方。谁知道呢。
