　　 英语 童话故事 ：自私的巨人

　　Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant's garden.

　　每天下午，孩子们放学回来，总会去巨人的花园里玩耍。

　　It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them. "How happy we are here!" they cried to each other.

　　这是一个可爱的大花园，长满了柔嫩的青草。草丛间到处盛开着美丽的鲜花，如繁星点点。花园里还有十二棵桃树，每到春天，粉红色和珍珠色的花朵姣美诱人，到了秋天树上果实累累。鸟儿栖息在枝头动听地唱着，孩子们都禁不住停止游戏，细心聆听。“我们在这儿多么快乐!”他们互相欢叫。

　　One day the Giant came back. 1-1e had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle.When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden.

　　有一天巨人回来了。他去 拜访 康沃尔的怪物朋友，和他一起住了七年。七年结束了，巨人说完了想说的话，因为他的话总有个尽头，他决定回到自己的城堡。当他到家的时候，看见孩子们正在花园里玩耍。

　　"What are you doing here?" he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.

　　“你们在这儿做什么‘!”他非常粗暴地喊道，孩子们跑开了。

　　"My own garden is my own garden," said the Giant; "any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself." So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice-board.

　　“我自己的花园就是我自己的，”巨人说道，“随便什么人都明白。除了我以外，我不允许任何人在花园里玩。”于是他在花园的四周砌起了高高的围墙，支起一块告示牌。

巨人的花园作者是奥斯卡·王尔德。

《巨人的花园》一般指《自私的巨人》。《自私的巨人》是英国唯美主义作家奥斯卡·王尔德创作的童话作品，讲述了自私的巨人从自私变得慷慨，最终在天主的指引下走入了天堂故事温馨感人。该篇是王尔德创作的童话作品中最短的一篇，收录于童话集《快乐王子及其他故事》。

王尔德在《自私的巨人》中以句子简单，语言简洁的口语化语体描绘虚拟的事物和境界，出现于其中的“人物”是并非真有的假想形象，所讲述的故事，也是不可能发生的。但是童话中的种种幻想都根植于现实，是生活的一种折射。

作品影响：

该篇因其优美的文笔、温馨的故事广受好评，不仅与王尔德其他的童话作品一样脍炙人口、流传至今，深受孩子和大人喜爱，更是被称为王尔德童话中最为特别的一篇。
