The Intimate Couple
亲密的情侣
There once was a top and a small ball in a big toy box.
在一个大玩具箱里有一个陀螺和一个小球。
The top said to the ball. "We are living in this small box together, so why don't you marry me?"
陀螺对球说："我们一起生活在这个小盒子里，你为什么不嫁给我呢？"
But the ball with a beautiful leather jacket, ignored his proposal.
但身穿美丽皮外套的球，拒绝了他的求婚。
The next day, the owner showed up.
第二天，主人来了。
He painted the top with red and yellow colors and drove an iron nail into it.
他用红色和黄色的颜色在陀螺上又涂又画，然后把一根铁钉在了上面。
"Now, it looks perfect!" The owner spun the top round and round.
"现在，它看起来很漂亮完美！"主人拿着陀螺转了一圈又一圈。
When the top spun, he looked very nice.
当陀螺旋转时，他看起来很好看。
"Look at me! I look great huh? Now, would you marry me?" The top asked the ball again.
"看我！我看起来很漂亮对吧？现在，你愿意嫁给我吗？"陀螺又问了一次。
"We will be a great couple. You can jump up and down, and I can dance."
"我们将是一对最惹眼的夫妇。你可以跳上跳下，我可以旋转。"
But the ball with the great leather jacket ignored him again.
但是，身穿美丽皮外套的球又一次拒绝了。
"I am wearing a wonderful and elegant leather jacket. There is no comparison between you and me." The ball was still cold.
"我穿着的是优雅、昂贵的皮夹克。你和我之间根本就没得比。"球冷冷的说。
The top begged her to marry him. "But the master loves me very much. Please marry me."
陀螺不死心恳求道："但主人很爱我。请嫁给我吧。"
"No way. I am engaged to a swallow.
"没门。我与燕子订婚了。
Whenever I jump up in the air, he asks me to marry him, and I say yes."
无论什么时候我跳到空中，他都向我求婚，而且我已经答应了。
"Really? Well, then there is nothing I can do about it." The top was very disappointed.
"真的吗？好吧，那我也就没什么机会了。"陀螺很是沮丧。
The next day, the owner brought the ball outside.
第二天，主人把球带在外面。
The ball jumped very high up and down.
球跳上跳下，跳的很高。
But this time, the ball didn't come down after she jumped up.
但这一次，球跳起来后没有跳下来。
The owner searched everywhere, but he couldn't find the ball.
主人到处找，都找不到。
The top sighed and said, "She must have followed the swallow. I hope she is happy with him."
陀螺叹了口气，说："她一定是跟着燕子走了。我希望他们在一起幸福。"
But the top could never forget her.
但陀螺并没有忘记球。
A few years passed.
几年过去了。
The top was all painted with a golden color.
陀螺穿上了金灿灿的衣服，
When he spun powerfully with a buzz, he looked wonderful.
当他嗡嗡地旋转起来时，他看漂亮极了。
One day, he spun so hard and fast that he flew away.
一天，他飞快地旋转着，速度太快飞了出去。
The top landed on the roof.
陀螺落在了屋顶上。
The roof was full of all sorts of things.
屋顶上满是各种各样的东西。
"Oh, what is that crumpled thing over there?" The top went close to it.
"噢，那边一堆破烂是什么东西啊？"陀螺慢慢靠近。
Even though she was worn-out, it was the ball with the leather jacket.
虽然破破烂烂，但她无疑就是穿着皮革夹克的球。
"Hi!" The ball couldn't recognize the top because he looked so different than before.
"嗨！"因为他看起来比以前不同，球没有认出陀螺。
"It's me. Top." She recognized him and cried.
"是我，陀螺。"她认出了陀螺，大哭起来。
"I didn't follow the swallow. Actually I liked you, but my pride didn't allow me to marry you."
"我并没有跟着燕子私奔。其实我很喜欢你，但我的自尊心作祟没能嫁给你。"
After that, the top and the ball got married and lived happily ever after.
自此以后，陀螺与球喜结连理幸福地生活在一起。
