Prelude of Beauty and Beast
一、没有爱心的王子 1、One cold, windy winter night, a beggar woman came to ask for shelter from the bitter cold in a castle, wherein a mean, selfish and unkind prince lived. 2、In return, the beggar offered a rose. 3、Sneering at the rose, the prince refused the woman.
二、得到的惩罚 4、The beggar warned the prince not to be deceived by appearances, since real beauty is found within. 5、When he turned away from her again, the beggar woman turned herself into a beautiful enchantress whom the prince fell in love with immediately. 6、He asked for forgiveness and begged for her love, but it was too late. 7、The woman was actually a witch and she was so angry with the prince being mean and unkind that, as punishment, she transformed him into anugly beast.
二、女乞丐施展魔法 8、The whole castle was enchanted, together with the rose which would bloom on his twentieth birthday. 9、If he could learn to love a girl and be loved by her in return before the last petal fell, the spell would be broken. 10、If not, he would remain a beast for the rest of his life. 11、Being ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast shut himself in the castle. 12、As the years passed, he fell into despair, for who could ever fall in love with a beast?
