国王和王后生下公主,请了所有仙女当教母,漏请了一个老仙女。
The king and queen had a princess and invited all the fairies as godmothers, except one old fairy they forgot.
老仙女诅咒她十六岁被纺锤扎死;小仙女的魔法改成睡一百年。
The old fairy cursed her: at sixteen a spindle would kill her; the young fairy softened it to a hundred-year sleep.
十六岁那天公主果然扎了手睡着了,整个王宫的人都跟着睡着了,荆棘长满了城堡。
On her sixteenth birthday the princess pricked her finger and fell asleep; the whole palace slept and briars swallowed the castle.
一百年后一个王子走进荆棘,荆棘自己让开路。他吻了公主,整个王宫都醒了。
A hundred years later a prince walked into the briars, which parted for him; he kissed the princess and the whole palace woke.
