The fairy then said to Cinderella, "Well, you now have a coach fit to go to the ball in. Are you not pleased with it?"
仙女跟灰姑娘说：好了，你现在有了一辆适合去参加舞会的马车，满意了吗？”
Yes, yes! cried Cinderella. "But shall I go as I am, in these rags?"
“满意，满意！”灰姑娘叫道，“但我要像这样穿得破破烂烂地去吗？”
Then the fairy godmother touched Cinderella with her wand,
这时候，仙女教母用魔棒碰了碰灰姑娘，
and the girl's ragged dress was turned into cloth of gold and silver, all shining with pearls and diamonds.

On her feet was a wonderful pair of glass slippers.

Cinderella climbed into the beautiful coach and sat down.
灰姑娘登上漂亮的马车，坐了下来。
Never in her life had she been so happy!

Now, remember one thing, said her godmother; "do not stay after midnight.
“现在、记住一件事情，”她的教母说，“不要待到午夜之后。
For, when the clock strikes twelve, the coach will be turned to a pumpkin again,
因为时钟敲响12点的时候，马车就会变回南瓜，
the horses will be turned to mice, the coachman will become a rat, the footmen will all be lizards, and your pretty clothes will become rags."
马匹和马夫就会变回老鼠，脚夫就会变回蜥蜴，而你漂亮的衣服也会变回破烂不堪的衣服。”
Cinderella promised that she would surely leave the ball before midnight.
