A version of the tale by thefablecottage.com

從前，有一個叫傑克的年輕人。

He lived with his mother on a small farm at the foot of the foggy mountains.

他和母親住在霧山腳下的一個小農場裡。

Their only way of making money was selling the milk from their cow, Bess.

他們唯一的生財之道就是賣奶牛貝絲的牛奶。

One morning, Jack's mother woke him up early.

一天早上，傑克的媽媽早早地叫醒了他。

Go to the market today and sell our cow, Bess!

今天去市場賣掉我們的奶牛貝絲！

看在上帝的份上，我們沒有前門。

If we don't fix the house, the cold will kill us.

如果我們不把房子修好，寒冷會要了我們的命。

Jack packed his bag and fetched Bess from the barn.

傑克收拾好行李，把貝絲從穀倉裡叫了出來。

As he was walking out the gate, he heard his mother shout,

當他走出大門時，聽到了母親的喊聲、

When Jack was halfway to the market, he met an old man.

傑克在去市場的半路上遇到了一位老人。

那人說，她是一頭漂亮的奶牛。

I will buy Bess and I will give you a very good deal.

我會買下貝絲，我會給你一個很好的交易。

I won't take less than five gold coins, said Jack.

傑克說，我不會少於五個金幣。

I don't have five gold coins, whispered the man.

我沒有五枚金幣，那人低聲說道。

If you take these beans, you will be richer than the richest man in the world.

如果你吃了這些豆子，你將比世界上最富有的人還要富有。

He thought about how happy she would be if they were rich.

他想，如果他們有錢了，她會有多幸福。

They could fix the roof, the windows and the front door.

他們可以修理屋頂、窗戶和前門。

OK, said Jack. You've got a deal. Give me the beans.

好吧，傑克說。一言為定把豆子給我

He ran home and showed his mother the beans.

But instead of being happy, she was furious.

但她非但沒有高興，反而很生氣。

You foolish boy! You traded our only cow for a handful of beans!

你這傻孩子你用我們唯一的奶牛換了一把豆子

She took the beans and threw them out the window.

Then she sat down beside the fire and cried.

然後，她坐在火爐旁哭了起來。

They no longer had a cow and now they were poorer than before.

他們不再有奶牛，現在比以前更窮了。

What a disaster! And it was all his fault.

真是一場災難！而這一切都是他的錯。

The next morning, when Jack opened the curtains, he saw something very strange.

第二天早上，當傑克拉開窗簾時，他看到了一件非常奇怪的事情。

In the same place where his mother had thrown the beans, there was a giant green beanstalk.

在媽媽扔豆子的地方，有一根巨大的綠豆莖。

It stretched from the ground up, up, up, all the way to the clouds.

它從地面向上延伸，向上延伸，一直延伸到雲端。

The beans really are magic, whispered Jack.

豆子真的有魔力，傑克低聲說道。

So Jack decided to climb the beanstalk to look for the riches the old man had described.

於是，傑克決定爬上豆莖，去尋找老人描述的財富。

Just five gold coins, thought Jack. That's all I need to make my mother happy.

傑克想，只要五個金幣。我只需要這麼多金幣就能讓媽媽高興了。

Jack climbed up, up, up, higher and higher into the clouds.

傑克往上爬，往上爬，往上爬，越爬越高，爬上了雲端。

When he reached the top, he was very hungry.

當他到達山頂時，肚子非常餓。

Maybe I can find something to eat in that castle, he thought.

他想，也許我能在城堡裡找點吃的。

Jack walked up to the door of the castle and knocked twice.

傑克走到城堡門前，敲了兩下門。

She was as big as a house, but she had a warm smile and gentle eyes.

她像房子一樣高大，卻有著溫暖的笑容和溫柔的眼神。

Could you please give me something to eat? I am so hungry.

哦，你這個可憐的孩子，女巨人說。

The kind giantess gave Jack some vegetable stew.

好心的女巨人給了傑克一些燉菜。

He was enjoying it so much that he didn't notice when the kitchen table started to shake.

他樂在其中，以至於沒有注意到廚房的桌子開始搖晃。

哦，親愛的，女巨人低聲說道。

The giant stomped into the kitchen and sniffed the air.

巨人跺著腳走進廚房，嗅了嗅空氣。

等等，我是不是聞到了人類的味道？

Good evening, my darling husband, replied the giantess.

晚上好，我親愛的丈夫，女巨人回答道。

There is nobody here. You smell the vegetable stew, nothing more.

這裡沒有人。你聞到的是燉菜的味道，僅此而已。

The giant took a small sack of gold coins out of his pocket and counted them.

巨人從口袋裡掏出一小袋金幣數了數。

一枚、兩枚、三枚、四枚、五枚金幣。

If I had that money, I could fix our house.

如果我有那筆錢，我就能把我們的房子修好。

When the two giants left the room, Jack stole the five gold coins and slipped them into his bag.

兩個巨人離開房間後，傑克偷走了五枚金幣，並把它們塞進了自己的包裡。

傑克想，這就是我所需要的一切。

But then Jack remembered that his family no longer had a cow.

但後來傑克想起來，他家已經沒有奶牛了。
