On the grass next to a pond,

　　the mother ducks eggs were hatching.

　　The ducklings began to hatch and came out one by one. Only one big egg had not moved or made a sound.

　　在池塘邊的草地上，鴨媽媽正在孵蛋。

　　小鴨一隻接一隻地孵了出來，隻有一顆大大的蛋一直沒有動靜。

　　Is this big egg also a duck? Everyone asked the mother duck, but she did not know.

　　“這顆大蛋裡面也是小鴨子嗎？”大家問鴨媽媽，可她也不知道。

　　The big eggshell cracked, from inside out came a big and ugly duckling. Everyone called him Ugly Duckling.

　　大蛋的殼裂開了——從裡面出來一隻又大又醜的小鴨，大家叫他“醜小鴨”。

　　When the Ugly Duck-ling went to the pond to swim, the frog said: Ribbit! Ribbit! I do not like you, go away!

　　醜小鴨到池塘裡遊泳，青蛙說：“呱呱！我不喜歡你，快走開！”

　　The Ugly Duckling had to leave the pond and

　　walked towards the forest ...

　　醜小鴨隻好離開池塘，朝着森林裡走去…

　　In the forest, the Ugly Duckling met a dog. Woof! Woof! I do not like you, go away! said the dog.

　　在森林裡，醜小鴨遇見了狗。狗說：“汪汪！汪汪！我不喜歡你，快走開！”

　　On the hillside, the Ugly Duckling met a pig. The pig said:Oink! Oink! I do not like you, go away!

　　在山坡上，醜小鴨遇見了豬。豬說：“呼噜！呼噜！我不喜歡你，快走開！”

　　The Ugly Duckling cried sadly. A little girl came over and said:Please come to my house!

　　醜小鴨傷心地哭了。一個小姑娘走過來，說：“請到我家住吧！”

　　Winter came,and it snowed heavily outside. The Ugly Duckling lived in the little girls warm wooden house.

　　冬天到了，外面下着大雪。醜小鴨住在小姑娘溫暖的木屋裡。

　　Spring came, the Ugly Duckling grew up-he turned into a white swan!

　　The white swan flapped his wings and the little girl was so happy.

　　春天來了，醜小鴨長大了——他變成了一隻白天鵝！白天鵝拍拍翅膀飛起來，小姑娘好高興。

　　Who would have thought that the Ugly Duckling turned out to be a beautiful white swan!

　　真沒想到，醜小鴨竟然是一隻美麗的白天鵝！
