独角兽的英文故事

Once upon a sunny morning a man who sat in a breakfast nook looked up from his scrambled eggs to see a white unicorn with a golden horn quietly cropping the roses in the garden.The man went up to the bedroom where his wife was still asleep and woke her.“There's a unicorn in the garden, ”he said.“Eating roses.”She opened one unfriendly eye and looked at him.“The unicorn is a mythical beast, ”she said, and turned her back on him.The man walked slowly downstairs and out into the garden.The unicorn was still there; he was now browsing among the tulips.“Here, unicorn, ”said the man, and he pulled up a lily and gave it to him.The unicorn ate it gravely.With a high heart, because there was a unicorn in the garden, the man went upstairs and roused his wife again.“The unicorn, ”he said, “ate a lily”.His wife sat up in bed, and looked at him, coldly.“You are a booby, ”she said, “and I am going to have you put in the booby-hatch.”The man, who had never liked the words“booby”and“booby-hatch”, and who liked them even less on a shining morning when there was a unicorn in the garden, thought for a moment.“We'll see about that, ”he said.He walked over to the door.“He has a golden horn in the middle of his forehead, ”he told her.

Then he went back to the garden to watch the unicorn; but the unicorn had gone away.The man sat down among the roses and went to sleep.

As soon as the husband had gone out of the house, the wife got up and dressed as fast as she could.She was very excited and there was a gloat in her eye.She telephoned the police and she telephoned a psychiatrist; she told them to hurry up to her house and bring a strait-jacket.When the police and the psychiatrist arrived they sat down in chairs and looked at her, with great interest.“My husband, ”she said, “saw a unicorn this morning.”The police looked at the psychiatrist and the psychiatrist looked at the police.“He told me it had a golden horn in the middle of its forehead, ”she said.At a solemn signal from the psychiatrist, the police leaped from their chairs and seized the wife. They had a hard time subduing her, for she put up a terrific struggle, but they finally subdued her.Just as they got her into the strait-jacket, the husband came into the house.

“Did you tell your wife you saw a unicorn? ”asked the police.“Of course not, ”said the husband.“The unicorn is a mythical beast.”“That's all I wanted to know, ”said the psychiatrist.“Take her away.I'm sorry, sir, but your wife is as crazy as a jaybird.”So they took her away, cursing and screaming, and shut her up in an institution.The husband lived happily ever after.

花园里的独角兽

詹姆斯·瑟伯

一个阳光明媚的早晨，有个男人在房间的一个角落里吃早餐。他正吃着炒鸡蛋，抬头看到有一只白身金角的独角兽正在花园里旁若无人地大啃玫瑰。那个男人起身走到卧室——他的妻子还在睡觉——他叫醒了妻子。“花园里有一只独角兽，”他说，“它正在吃那些玫瑰花。”她睁开一只眼，很不高兴地瞥了他一眼：“独角兽是神话中的怪兽。”说完，她翻了个身背朝着他。男人慢慢地下了楼，走出房间，来到花园里。那只独角兽还在那里，它现在正在郁金香丛中大嚼特嚼。“嗨，独角兽，”男人说着摘下一朵百合花喂它，独角兽镇定自若地把花吃掉了。因为花园里有一只独角兽，这个男人感到很兴奋。他又跑上楼去叫醒他的妻子。“那只独角兽，”他说，“吃掉了一朵百合。”他的妻子在床上坐起身来，冷冷地看着他。“你真是个大傻瓜，”她说，“我要找人把你送到精神病院里去。”这个男人非常讨厌“大傻瓜”和“精神病院”这两个词，而今天早晨的阳光这么灿烂，花园里还有一只独角兽，他就更不愿意听到这两个词了。他想了一会儿。“咱们走着瞧，”他说。他走到房门口。“它的额头正中长了一只金色的角，”他告诉妻子。

他又回到花园去看看那只独角兽在干什么，但是独角兽已经跑掉了。那个男人坐在玫瑰丛中慢慢睡着了。

丈夫刚一走出房间，妻子就立刻起床，用最快的速度穿好衣服。她非常激动，眼神中透着得意。她给警察局打电话，又给一个精神病医生打了电话。她告诉他们尽快赶到她家里来，并且要带上拘束衣。警察和精神病医生来了，他们坐在椅子上看着她，对整桩事情很感兴趣。“我的丈夫，”她说，“今天早上看到一只独角兽。”警察看看医生，医生又看看警察。“他还跟我说那只独角兽的额头正中长了一只金色的角，”她又说。精神病医生表情肃穆地使了个眼神，那些警察看到以后马上从椅子上跳起来，紧紧抓住了那个妻子。他们费了很大工夫才把她制服，因为她在拼命地挣扎，不过最后还是警察占了上风。就在警察把她弄进拘束衣里面的时候，丈夫从花园里回来了。

“你是不是跟你妻子说看到了一只独角兽?”警察问道。“当然没有，”丈夫答道，“独角兽是神话中的怪兽。”“我想知道的就这些，”精神病医生说，“把她带走。对不起，先生，可是你的妻子现在已经疯疯癫癫的了。”她一直在咒骂着，尖叫着，但是他们还是把她给带走关进了精神病院。丈夫从此过上了幸福的生活。
