嗨。

Hi.

Rebecca Scheer here with some very fun news and a special story.

首先，有个非常有趣的消息。

First off, the very fun news.

我们的WBUR播客正在为您提供一种全新的方式，让您与我们一同环绕互动，支持公共广播，并获得一些超棒的礼品。

Our WBUR podcast is offering an exciting new way for you to circle around with us and support public radio and get some really cool stuff.

但同样地，我来这儿可不只是为了聊一聊，还得跟你们分享一个故事。

But again, I couldn't drop by without sharing a story with you.

来看看我们Circle Round Snuggle Time的一个预告片段，这个故事叫作《潘帕斯的灯塔》，来自南美洲国家乌拉圭。

So check out this preview of one of our circle round snuggle times, a tale we call the lighthouse of the Pampas from the South American country of Uruguay.

听完之后，请前往 wbur.org/circleroundclub，选择您心仪的会员等级。

感谢您的支持，现在就来欣赏这段Circle Round Snuggle Time的抢先预告吧。

Thanks for your support, and enjoy this sneak peek of Circle Round Snuggle Time.

如果您前往南美洲的潘帕斯草原，可能会遇到一种有趣的植物。

If you travel to the Pampas or grasslands of South America, you may come across an interesting plant.

它叫作ombu树，外形很像一棵树，有着粗壮的树干和伞状的树冠，覆盖着光亮的叶子和成簇的淡绿白色花朵，最终会结出深红色的浆果。

It's called the ombu, and it looks a lot like a tree with a big trunk and an umbrella like canopy covered with glossy leaves and clusters of greenish white flowers that eventually give way to crimson berries.

这棵ombu树有个绰号，叫作潘帕斯灯塔。

The ombu has a nickname, the Lighthouse Of The Pampas.

为什么呢？

Why?

当你在海上遇险时，灯塔是一座灯塔。

Well, when you're stranded at sea, a lighthouse is a beacon.

对吧？

Right?

它象征着安全。

A sign of safety.

当你穿越干燥炎热的潘帕斯草原时，ombu树也是一座灯塔，因为它的宽大树冠能为你遮挡烈日，带来凉爽的阴凉。

And when you're tromping through the dry, hot Pampas, the Ombu is a beacon too since its wide canopy provides cool shade from the blazing sun.

但很久以前，ombu树并没有宽大的树冠。

But once upon a time, the ombu didn't have a wide canopy.

很久以前，ombu树只是一株小小的幼苗。

Once upon a time, the ombu was nothing more than a little sprout.

事实上，所有的植物和树木都只是幼苗，看起来都一模一样。

In fact, all the plants and trees were little sprouts, each one looking exactly like the next.

当它们的创造者、强大的神灵图帕将植物和树木带到世间时，他首先问了它们一个问题。

When their creator, the powerful spirit known as Tupa, brought the plants and trees to the world, he began by asking them one question.

我的孩子们，他说，你们长大后想成为什么样的样子？

My children, he said, what do you want to be like when you grow up?

一瞬间，所有的植物和树木都开始七嘴八舌地说话，争相喊叫着自己长大后想要成为的样子。

In an instant, all the plants and trees began talking at once, shouting and clamoring about all the things they desired once they grew bigger.

我说所有的植物和树木，但事实上，其中有一棵却保持沉默。

Well, I say all the plants and trees, but the truth is one of them remained silent.

奥姆布站在喧闹之外，一言不发。

Ombu stood back from the hubbub and didn't say a word.

孩子们，图帕大声喊道。

Children, Tupa cried out.

孩子们，请一个一个地跟我说话。

Children, please speak to me one at a time.

第一个说话的是一棵叫凯布拉乔的树。

The first to speak was a tree known as Quebracho.

图帕，她说，当我长大后，我想变得坚强、坚硬，能够抵御命运可能降临的任何打击。

Tupa, she said, when I grow up, I want to be strong and hard and able to resist any blows that fate might send my way.

很好，图帕回答道。

Very well, Tupa replied.

如你所愿，就这样吧。

As you wish, so it shall be.

事实上，直到今天，凯布拉乔依然坚强而坚韧。

And indeed, to this day, Quebracho has been strong and tough.

事实上，在西班牙语中，‘凯布拉乔’一词的意思是‘斧头破坏者’。

In fact, in Spanish, the word Quebracho translates to axe breaker.

下一个表达愿望的是一种叫查卡兰达或西班牙语中称哈卡兰达的植物。

The next to state their wish was a plant known as chacaranda or hakaranda in Spanish.

图帕，他说，当我长大后，我想用一顶美丽的花冠和迷人的芬芳来惊艳所有人。

Tupa, he said, when I grow up, I want to impress everyone with a crown of beautiful flowers and a wonderful fragrance.

很好，图帕回答道。

Very well, Tupa replied.

如你所愿，便如此实现。

As you wish, so it shall be.

自那以后，南美紫荆每年都会绽放成千上万朵芬芳的紫色花朵。

And ever since, Jacaranda has bloomed with thousands of fragrant purple flowers each and every year.

下一个提出愿望的是被称为柏树的树。

The next to come forth with their desire was a tree known as cypress.

图帕，她说，当我长大后，我希望全年都保持美丽翠绿，并且高高耸立在所有人之上。

Tupa, she said, when I grow up, I want to be lovely and green all year long, and I want to tower above everyone else.

很好，柏树。

Very well, cypress.

如你所愿，便如此实现。

As you wish, so it shall be.

你猜怎么着？直到今天，巴塔哥尼亚柏树仍是一种常绿树，高大、笔直而狭窄。

And wouldn't you know it, to this day, the Patagonian cypress is an evergreen tree that's so tall, straight, and narrow.

它有时被称为南美洲的红杉。

It's sometimes called the Sequoia of South America.

一旦柏树实现了她的愿望，图帕便继续走访一个又一个生命，倾听它们的愿望并予以实现。

Once cypress got her wish, Tupa went from creation to creation, hearing their requests and granting them.

最后一个上前的是翁布。

The last in line was Ombu.

翁布，图帕说，我们还没听到你的声音。

Ombu, Tupa said, we have yet to hear from you.

你的愿望是什么？

What is your wish?

你长大后想成为什么样的？

What do you want to be like when you grow up?

嗯，图帕，翁布说，我不希望证明自己有多强壮，也不希望用我的颜色、芬芳或高度来博取他人赞叹。

Well, Tupa, Onbu said, I don't wish to prove how strong I am or to impress others with my color or fragrance or height.

那你希望什么呢？

What do you wish then?

图帕问道。

Tupa asked.

翁布会如何回答图帕的问题呢？

How will Onbu answer Tupa's question?

你可以通过加入圆形圈俱乐部来了解答案。
