荆门市掇刀区白石坡中学 杨春梅 供稿

1.Long ago，there lived an Emperor.He only thought about his clothes.He had a lot of clothes.The Emperor spent hours getting dressed every day.很久以前有一位皇帝。他只关心他的衣服。他有很多很多衣服。这位皇帝每天要花几个小时穿衣打扮。

2.The news finally came to the ears of two cheats.They were too excited and then they left their hometown and traveled a long way to the Emperor’s city.这个消息最后传到了两个骗子的耳朵。他们离开家乡，来到了皇城。

3.They came to the gate of the kingdom and asked to meet the Emperor.They told the official，“We have invented a magic cloth.”他们来到城墙脚下，要求见皇帝。“我们发明了一种有魔力的布料。”他们告诉一个官员。

4.The official told the news to the Emperor.The Emperor said，“Oh，I love new things，and show the two weavers in.”这个官员把这个消息告诉了皇帝。皇帝说道：“哦！我喜欢新事物，把这两个织工带进来吧。”

5.One weaver said to the Emperor，“It is gold，silver and rainbow colored.It feels like silk，but it is as warm as wool.”一个织工对皇帝说，“它有着金、银和彩虹的色彩，摸起来像丝绸一样光滑，但和羊毛一样暖和。”

6.The second said，“It is as light as air，and it can examine who is clever and who is fit for his office.Those who are not clever enough or unfit for his office can not see it.But the cloth is very expensive to make.”另外一个说道：“它像空气一样轻。最神奇的是它能检验谁是聪明的、谁是称职的。那些不够聪明或不够称职的人是看不见的。但是这种布料织起来很贵。”

7.“No problem，”said the Emperor，waving his hand，“Make it here in the palace soon.”Hearing these，the two weavers smiled happily.“没问题，”皇帝挥挥手说道，“马上在皇宫里织吧。”听到这些，两个织工开心地笑了。

8.The official showed the two weavers to a large airy room.They asked for a loom and a sack of gold.And soon they started to work on the magic cloth.官员把两个织工带到一个大房间，他们要了一个织布机和一大袋金子，便开始工作了。

9.News of the magic cloth had spread.Now everyone in the city was talking about the magic new clothes of Emperor’s.有关具有神奇魔力的布料的消息传开了。城里的每个人都在议论皇帝这件神奇的新衣服。

10.Finally，the Emperor couldn’t wait any longer.He said to an official，“Go to the weavers and see how the cloth is processing.The parade is only a week away.”最后，皇帝实在是等不及了。他对一个大臣说道：“去那两个织工那里看看布料编织的进展情况。游行只有一个星期了。”

11.“Is it not beautiful?”said one of the weavers，holding out nothing to the official.“See the color，and feel the softness! ”“Um，”said the official，not quite sure what to say.“漂亮吗？”一个织工说道，其实什么也没给官员看。“看这色彩，感觉一下它的柔滑。”“嗯，”官员真不知道说什么好。

12.“Oh，wise official，”said the other weaver.“Now you can see why it is magical.Most people would see an empty loom，but a clever man like you will see our wonderful cloth.”“Of course，”said the official，not wanting to look stupid.“It is really wonderful.”“多么聪明的官员啊，”另一个织工说道。“你发现它的神奇了吧。大多数人可能只看到空的织布机。但是像你这么聪明的人肯定能够看到我们这奇妙的布料的。”“当然”，官员说道，他可不想被认为自己是傻瓜。“真是太美妙了！”

13.The Emperor was glad to hear the news.After 2 days he sent another minister to the weavers’room.The same thing happened.The minister couldn’t see anything，but he told the emperor the cloth was really beautiful.皇帝听到这个消息十分高兴。两天后，他又派另一名大臣去了解情况。同样的事情发生了。大臣什么都没有看见，但是他告诉皇帝，布料美妙极了。

14.Finally，the emperor went to see it himself.He saw the empty loom.“Why!”he cried in a surprised voice.At the same time，the emperor was a little surprised.最后，皇帝亲自去看。他看着空的织布机。“天啦！”他惊异地叫道。同时，他也感到很惊讶。

15.The two officiasl said quickly，“Our wise emperor can surely see the colors and patterns of this magical cloth.”那个官员说道，“陛下，我们聪明的皇帝肯定可以看到这种魔力布匹的色彩和图案。”

16.“Of course I can，”said the Emperor，wondering why he could not.“It’s beautiful! When can I have my new clothes?”“Your Majesty，”said the two weavers，“We will make the suit as soon as possible.”“我当然能够看见了。”皇帝说道，心里迷惑着为什么自己看不见呢。“非常漂亮。我什么时候可以穿上我的新衣服呢？”“皇帝陛下，”两个织工说道，“我们将尽快做好。”

17.The suit was finished.All his officials said it was truly marvelous!The Emperor was dressed in his new suit and ready for the parade.The people of the town all waited along the sides of the streets.衣服做好了。所有的官员都说真是美极了。皇帝穿上新衣服准备游行了。城里所有的人都在街边等着。

18.The parade began! The people gasped.“What a suit! ”they cried.“What suit?”asked a small boy，“The Emperor has no clothes on at all! ”游行开始了！人们欢呼着：“太漂亮了！”“什么衣服啊？”一个小男孩叫道，“皇帝根本就没有穿衣服啊！”

19.“It’s true! No clothes! The Emperor is naked! ”the people cried.And the Emperor was very ashamed.But he thought since the parade had started，it should continue.“是的，没有衣服！皇帝是光着身子的！”人群中叫开了。皇帝十分羞愧。但是他想游行既然已经开始了，就继续下去吧。
