【单词例句】
◇ So now the Emperor walked under his high canopy in the midst of the procession, through the streets of his capital; and all the people standing by, and those at the windows, cried out, "Oh! How beautiful are our Emperor's new clothes! What a magnificent train there is to the mantle; and how gracefully the scarf hangs!" in short, no one would allow that he could not see these much-admired clothes; because, in doing so, he would have declared himself either a simpleton or unfit for his office. Certainly, none of the Emperor's various suits, had ever made so great an impression, as these invisible ones.
这么着,皇帝就在那个富丽的华盖下游行起来了。站在街上和窗子里的人都说:“乖乖,皇上的新装真是漂亮!他上衣下面的后裾是多么美丽!衣服多么合身!”谁也不愿意让人知道自己看不见什么东西,因为这样就会暴露自己不称职,或是太愚蠢。皇帝所有的衣服从来没有得到这样普遍的称赞。
◇ In the midst of the shoes stood a pair of red ones, just like those the princess had worn.
在这许多鞋子之中有一双红鞋;它跟公主所穿的那双一模一样。
