在正式开演之前，这周我们为大家重播一期《Circle Round》的精彩老节目，可能是你第一次没赶上的一集魔法故事。

While we gear up for the performance, this week, we're bringing you an encore edition of Circle Round, a magical episode you may have missed the first time around.

我们很快就会带来全新的节目，敬请期待！

We'll be back with a new episode soon.

想想看，有没有谁曾经对你特别温柔过？

Think about a time somebody showed you kindness.

也许是家人夸了你一句，或者朋友帮你解决了个难题。

Maybe a family member gave you a compliment or a friend helped you solve a problem.

接下来我们要认识一位特别乐于助人的人，他的善良，真的带来了奇迹。

We're about to meet a character who's all about being kind to others, and the result is truly magical.

我是丽贝卡·谢尔，欢迎来到《Circle Round》，这里天天都有故事讲。

I'm Rebecca Scheer, and welcome to Circle Around, where story time happens all the time.

今天的故事叫《魔力之手》。

Today, our story is called the magic touch.

这个故事最早源自东非。

Versions of this tale originally come from East Africa.

我们请到了一群很棒的人来演绎这个民间故事，其中有一位你们可能认识的演员——埃迪·加特吉，大人们或许看过他演的西部片《愈难愈勇》。

Some really great people came together to bring you our adaptation of this folktale, including Edi Gathegi, whom you grown ups may recognize from the American Western film, The Harder They Fall.

他还会在Apple TV+的太空剧《苍穹浩瀚》第三季里登场，记得留意他哦。

And watch for him in the third season of the space drama, For All Mankind, on Apple TV plus.

好了，大家围成一圈，感受这份神奇的魔力吧。

So circle around everyone for the magic touch.

从前有对双胞胎兄弟。

There once were two brothers, twins actually.

他们叫朱马和伊曼尼。

Their names were Juma and Imani.

朱马和伊曼尼是由妈妈带大的，妈妈心地善良、乐于助人，两个儿子打心底里爱她。

Juma and Imani were raised by their mother, a kind, generous woman whom her sons loved with all their heart.

等兄弟俩长大，该出去闯世界的时候，没想到出了状况。

When the twins grew up and it was time for them to go out and make their way in the world, something unexpected happened.

妈妈病倒了，病得厉害，只能卧床不起。

Mother fell ill, so ill she had to take to her bed.

妈妈，我和伊曼尼不能丢下你走啊。

Oh, Mother, Imani and I can't leave you like this.

朱马说得对。

Juma's right.

我们得留下来照顾你。

We must stay here and take care of you.

你们真贴心，我的孩子们。

That's very sweet, my sons.

但我不能拦着你们去闯自己的天地。

But I don't wanna stop you from making your way in the world.

母亲转向了朱马。

Mother turned to Juma.

朱马，你比阿曼尼早出生几分钟。

Juma, you were born a handful of minutes before Amani was.

要不你先出去闯一闯，让阿曼尼留下陪我？

So how about you go out into the world first while Amani stays home and takes care of me?

等我身子好了，他再去找你。

Once I'm well again, he can follow you.

当然，妈妈。

Of course, mother.

这主意不错。

That's a fine idea.

于是，朱马跟家人道别，乘上一艘帆船出海了。

So Juma kissed his family goodbye, then set out on a sailboat across the sea.

他在海上漂了几天，突然看见一座岛。

He had been drifting on the waves for a few days when he spotted an island.

哎哟。

Oh,

瞧这地方多美啊。

look at this beautiful place.

一个人影都没见着，可你看那些果树，简直太壮观了。

I don't see any people, but get a load of those fruit trees.

枝头挂满了鲜红欲滴的果子。

Their branches are dripping with bright red fruit.

这儿倒是个不错的歇脚地儿。

This could be a nice place to stop for a while.

朱玛上岸后，就开始摘果子吃。

Juma went ashore and began picking and eating fruit.

这果子真好吃。

This fruit is delicious.

又甜又多汁。

So sweet, so juicy.

不过，哎呀，里面还有核呢。

But, oh, there are pits inside.

这核可不能吃。

Definitely don't want to eat those.

我直接吐掉就行。

I'll just spit them out.

可就在核一落地的瞬间，朱玛眼前出现了一幕不可思议的景象。

But the moment the pits hit the ground, an unbelievable sight met Juma's eyes.

不会吧？

Could it be?

每个果核一落地，眨眼间就长成了一棵全新的果树。

Each pit is growing into a whole new fruit tree in the blink of an eye.

树越长越高，转眼就跟其他树一样高了，满树都是鲜红欲滴的果子。

It's getting taller and taller, and now it's as tall as all the other trees, and it's bursting with bright red fruit.

我这辈子都没见过这种事。

I've never seen anything like this.

朱玛从船上搬来几个桶，开始往里装果子。

Juma grabbed some barrels from his boat and began loading them up with fruit.

我要把这神奇的果子带到另一个岛上去。

I'm going to bring this magical fruit to another island.

照这么长法，我这辈子都卖不完。

With the way these trees grow, I'll have an endless supply to sell.

杜玛扬起帆，重新启航出海。

Duma hoisted his sails and put his boat back to sea.

几天后，他来到一个热闹非凡的岛屿。

After a few days, he came to an island that was brimming with people.

他走到热闹的集市上，把装满水果的桶摆了出来。

He made his way to the bustling marketplace and set out his barrels of fruit.

神奇水果，这儿有！

Magical fruit here.

快来买神奇水果啊！

Get your magical fruit.

把核吐出来，眨眼工夫就能长出一棵新树！

Spit out the pit and watch a new tree grow in a flash.

没过多久，就围过来一群好奇的人。

It wasn't long before a curious crowd gathered.

但当贾马想现场演示水果的魔力——嚼几颗果子，把核吐出来的时候，

But when Juma went to demonstrate the magical powers of his fruit, chewing a handful of them then spitting out the pits,

啥事儿也没发生。

nothing happened.

真是不好意思啊，各位。

So sorry, ladies and gentlemen.

也许这些水果还没熟透。

Perhaps the pieces of fruit weren't ripe enough.

我再试一次。

Let me try again.

于是他就这么做了。

So he did.

他又抓了一把水果，开始嚼起来。

He grabbed another handful of fruit and began to chew.

但这次，他吐出果核后，还是啥也没发生。

But once more, when he spit the pits out, nothing happened.

这人是骗子。

This guy's a phony.

假的。

A fake.

完全是骗人的。

A total fraud.

我们早就觉得你这魔法水果太不真实了。

We knew your magical fruit was too good to be true.

我妈老说，好东西要是太完美，肯定有猫腻。

Oh, mother always told me that something was too good to be

真没错。

true.

朱玛彻底懵了。

Juma was flummoxed.

但各位，我向你们保证，我不是骗子。

But ladies and gentlemen, I assure you, I am not a phony.

在我摘这水果的岛上，它可是灵验得很。

On the island where I picked this fruit, it worked like a charm.

我发誓。

I swear.

我就是把核吐出来，结果就在眼前——

I just spit out the pits, and right there before my very eyes

还没等贾马再说一个字，他就感觉有人抓住了他的肩膀。

Before Juma could say another word, he felt someone grab his shoulder.

原来你就是那个编造魔法水果故事的人啊。

So you're the one making up stories about magical fruit,

贾马猛地转过头去。

Juma whirled his head around.

站在他面前的，是个身材魁梧的穿制服的男人。

Standing before him was a burly man in uniform.

听好了，老兄。

Listen, pal.

我是女王的皇家卫队成员，有责任告诉你，这个岛上的人从不撒谎，因为女王最讨厌虚伪。

I am part of the queen's royal guard, and it is my duty to tell you that on this island, we are honest because her royal majesty despises dishonesty.

她恨透了说谎。

She loathes lying.

她明令禁止任何谎言。

She forbids any fibs.

可我没撒谎，也没编瞎话。

But I'm not telling any fibs, and I'm not lying.

我跟你说，这水果真的——

I'm telling you, this fruit

别争了，先生。

Enough arguing, mister.

我现在就带你去王宫地牢，关你进去。

I'm taking you to the Palace Dungeon and putting you behind bars.

女王下的命令。

Queen's orders.

与此同时，家里头，妈妈和伊马尼根本不知道贾马出了事。

Meanwhile, back at home, mother and Imani were completely unaware of Juma's misfortune.

她们俩正高兴着呢，因为妈妈终于康复了。

Instead, the pair was in high spirits because mother had finally recovered from her illness.

伊马尼，我现在身子骨硬朗着呢，该你出去闯荡了。

Imani, now that I'm feeling fit as a fiddle, it's your turn to make your way in the world.

去吧，别让我失望。

Now go out there and make me proud.

当然了，妈妈，我一定行。

You bet I will, mother.

就像他双胞胎哥哥之前那样，伊马尼亲了亲妈妈，然后上了船。

So like his twin brother before him, Imani kissed his mother goodbye then headed out in his boat.

他根本没想到，前方等着他的将是狂风巨浪和一段难以想象的冒险。

Little did he know that ahead of him lay some stormy seas and some unimaginable adventures.

你觉得伊马尼接下来会怎样？

What do you think will happen to Imani?

那他的双胞胎哥哥贾马呢？

And what about his twin brother, Juma?

他能重获自由吗？

Will he ever go free?

稍后我们接着讲。

We'll find out after a quick break.

一百年以后，在一个很远很远的地方——等等。

One hundred years from now in a land far, far away hang on.

其实也没那么远。

It's not so far away at all, actually.

嘿，家人们，围过来。

Hey, circle around families.

今天我们带来的是WBUR出品的全新听觉冒险——《午夜叛乱》。

We're here to share a new listening experience from WBUR, The Midnight Rebellion.

这是一档专为八岁以上孩子打造的气候主题播客冒险。

It's a climate podcast adventure for kids eight and up.

时间旅行、解决问题、欢笑与危险，全都有了。

Time traveling, problem solving, laughs, and danger is here.

欢迎回到‘围圈’环节。

Welcome back to circle around.

我是丽贝卡·谢尔。

I'm Rebecca Scheer.

今天的故事叫《魔力之手》。

Today, our story is called the magic touch.

上一集结束时，双胞胎兄弟朱玛和伊马尼启程去闯荡世界。

Before the break, twin brothers, Juma and Imani, set off to make their ways in the world.

朱玛先走，结果进了监狱。

Juma went first and wound up in jail.

但伊马尼还不知道这事。

But Imani didn't know that.

所以轮到他离家远行时，他心情特别好，跳上小船就出海了。

So when it was his turn to leave home and go traveling, he was in high spirits as he hopped into his boat and took to the sea.

可惜，大海对伊马尼并不友好。

Unfortunately, the sea was not kind to Imani.

乌云压境，狂风大作，暴雨倾盆而下。

The clouds rolled in, the wind picked up, and sheets of rain surged down from the sky.

在波涛汹涌的海面上颠簸了几天后，伊马尼的船最终搁浅在一座冰冷多石的小岛上。

After being tossed for days across the choppy foam topped waves, Imani ran aground on a cold, rocky island.

看看这地方，真够荒凉凄惨的。

Look at this place, so bleak and dreary.

我可不想在这儿久留，可海浪太凶了，根本没法再出海。

I definitely don't wanna stay long, but the sea is too rough to head out again.

等天放晴了再说，我先吃点东西。

I'll wait for the skies to clear and have a snack.

划了这么久的船，我都饿扁了。

All that sailing has me famished.

伊马尼一屁股坐在石头上，伸手从包里掏出一罐煮好的小米。

Imani plopped down on a rock and reached into his bag for a pot of cooked millet.

他正要把米舀进嘴里，突然听见有人喊：‘先生，打扰一下。’

But just as he was spooning the grain into his mouth Excuse me, sir.

你能不能分我一点吃？

Any chance you could share some of that?

伊马尼抬起头来。

Imani looked up.

在他头顶的悬崖上，蹲着一只黑白相间的鸟。

Perched on a cliff above him was a black and white bird.

它身子瘦骨嶙峋，羽毛又乱又脏。

Its body was scrawny and its feathers were rough and matted.

刚才是你在说话吗，鸟？

Was that you talking just now, bird?

那些疯了似的海浪，把我船都掀了，连我脑子都晃糊涂了？

What did those crazy waves toss my boat and my brains?

对，就是我。

Oh, it was me, alright.

不好意思打扰您，先生，这场风暴把我困在这座荒岛上，我已经好几天没吃东西了。

And I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but the storm stranded me on this desolate island, and I haven't eaten in days.

那只鸟扑棱着翅膀飞下来，停在了伊马尼的肩膀上。

The bird fluttered down and perched on Imani's shoulder.

伊马尼轻轻拍了拍这个瘦巴巴的小家伙。

Imani gave the scraggly creature a pat.

我很乐意跟你分享我的小米，鸟儿。

I'd be happy to share my millet with you, bird.

别客气，叫我伊马尼就行。

And please, call me Imani.

那鸟饿极了，一头扎进锅里，把所有小米一扫而空。

The ravenous bird stuck its beak into the pot and gobbled up all the millet.

哇哦。

Wow.

这下可真解馋了。

That hit the spot.

谢谢你的好意，Imani。

I appreciate your kindness, Imani.

我保证，总有一天我会想办法报答你。

And I promise, one day I'll repay you somehow.

接着，那只鸟展开翅膀，飞越了整个岛屿。

Then the bird spread its wings and took off across the island.

Imani感到肚子咕咕叫了起来。

Imani felt his stomach growl.

他还是饿着肚子。

He was still hungry.

于是他伸手进包里，掏出一小罐蜂蜜。

So he reached into his bag and fished out a small jar of honey.

可就在他准备舀一勺往嘴里送的时候

But just as he was about to suck down a spoonful

不好意思，先生。

Pardon me, sir.

你能不能分我一点啊？

Any chance you could share some

那个？

of that?

伊马尼低头一看。

Imani looked down.

地上有一只蚂蚁。

There on the ground was an ant.

它那小小的黑身子都皱巴巴的，走路还一瘸一拐的。

Its little black body was all shriveled, and it seemed to be walking with a limp.

刚才是你在说话吗，阿姨？

Was that you talking just now, aunt?

还是我听错了？

Or am I hearing things?

对，就是我。

Oh, it was me alright.

不好意思打断您，先生，我真是饿坏了。

And I'm so sorry to interrupt, sir, but I'm downright famished.

这岛又 rocky 又荒凉，我找吃的可真费了老劲了。

This island is so rocky and barren, and I've had a devil of a time finding anything to eat.

蚂蚁晃了晃触角。

The ant wiggled its antennae.

伊曼尼蹲下来，冲它笑了笑。

Imani knelt down and gave the creature a smile.

我很乐意跟您分享我的蜂蜜，阿姨。

I'd be happy to share my honey with you, aunt.

而且，您直接叫我伊曼尼就行。

And please, call me Imani.

伊曼尼把所有的蜂蜜都淋在地上，蚂蚁立刻开始舔食那黏稠的甜味儿。

Imani drizzled all of his honey on the ground, and the ant went to work lapping up the sticky sweet stuff.

这可真是我正需要的

That was just what I

正需要呢。

needed.

谢谢你这么好心，Imani。

I appreciate your kindness, Imani.

我答应你，总有一天我会报答你的。

And I promise, one day I will repay you somehow.

说完，蚂蚁就匆匆跑开了。

Then the ant scurried away.

Imani翻了翻自己的包，找出了一小杯米饭。

Imani rummaged through his bag and found a cup of rice.

可他刚要把一把米塞进嘴里——

But just as he was about to stick a fistful into his mouth

不好意思，先生。

I beg your pardon, sir.

您能分我一点吗？

Any chance you could share some of that?

伊马尼抬起头。

Imani looked up.

在他面前飘着一个精灵。

Floating in the air before him was a jinn.

他妈妈讲过很多关于这种超自然生物的故事，但这是阿马尼第一次亲眼见到。

His mother had told many tales about these supernatural spirits, but this was the first time Amani had actually seen one.

哇哦。

Woah.

刚才是你在说话吗，精灵？

Was that you talking just now, jinn?

还是我饿得太厉害，都出现幻觉了？

Or am I so hungry I'm hallucinating?

对啊。

Yep.

就是我。

It was me.

先生，希望我没吓到您，但邪恶的灵把我困在这座岛上，这儿简直荒无人烟。

I hope I didn't freak you out, sir, but evil spirits have banished me to this island, and it's an absolute wasteland.

我已经好几天没吃东西了。

I've been without food for days.

伊曼尼同情地点了点头。

Imani gave the gin a sympathetic nod.

我很乐意跟你分享我的米饭，灵。

I'd be happy to share my rice with you, gin.

你叫我伊曼尼就行。

And please call me Imani.

那灵一把抓起米饭，把每一粒都吞了下去。

The gin took hold of the rice and poured every single grain down its gullet.

真香。

Yum.

太棒了。

That was perfect.

谢谢你的好意，阿曼尼。

I appreciate your kindness, Amani.

我保证，总有一天我会想办法报答你。

And I promise, one day I'll repay you somehow.

然后，那瓶酒‘噗’的一下就消失了。

Then the gin disappeared with a poof.

这也太离谱了吧。

Well, that was crazy.

我居然遇见了一只会说话的鸟，还有一只蚂蚁。

I met a talking bird, an ant.

我还碰见了个精灵呢。

I even met a djinn.

我饿得都快晕过去了。

But I'm so hungry I could pass out.

在这鬼地方，根本找不到吃的。

And it's obvious I won't find any food in this dismal place.

天都放晴了，我这就上船继续赶路。

Now that the skies have cleared, I'll get back in my boat and move on.

于是阿曼尼扬起帆，驶向平静安详的水面。

So Amani hoisted his sails and took off across the calm, peaceful water.

没过多久，他远远望见了另一座岛，更让他高兴的是，岛上长满了——

Before long, he caught sight of another island, and to his delight, it was covered with

果树。

Fruit trees.

你可能猜到了，这正是他哥哥朱马之前发现的那座岛。

Now, as you might guess, this was the exact same island that his brother, Juma, had found.

但阿曼尼不知道这些，他停好船，冲向果树，一把一把往嘴里塞那鲜红的果子。

But Amani didn't know that, so he docked his boat, sprinted to the fruit trees, and stuffed handfuls of the bright red fruit into his mouth.

这果子太好吃了。

This fruit is delectable.

等等，不对劲。

Oh, but wait.

里面还有核儿。

It has pits inside.

最好吐出来。

Better spit them out.

了

Of

当然，我马尼一把核儿吐到地上，你猜怎么着？

course, the moment Imani spit out the pits and the pits hit the ground, You know what happened, right?

你瞧瞧这事儿！

Would you look at that?

核儿一落地，立马就长出了新树。

They instantly blossomed into new trees.

我的天啊。

My goodness.

这果子不仅好吃多汁、香甜，还自带魔法。

Not only is this fruit delicious, juicy, and sweet, but it's magic.

我得带一大堆这个去下一个地方。

I'll bring a bunch of this with me to my next destination.

我猜这玩意儿肯定派得上大用场。

I bet it can come in very handy.

就在伊马尼打算去船上搬几个桶的时候。

But just as Imani went to fetch some barrels from his boat.

伊马尼，等等。

Imani, wait.

伊马尼猛地回头张望。

Imani flicked his head around.

他啥也没看见，可他明明听见了——那个在荒岛上和他分过米饭的鬼魂，秦。

He couldn't see anyone, but he could have sworn he heard the Qin, the supernatural spirit with whom he'd shared his rice on the desolate barren island.

秦？

Qin?

是你吗？

Is that you?

你在这儿吗？

Are you here?

也不算吧。

Not exactly.

我还在那个荒凉孤寂的小岛上，但自从你走后，我就一直用我的力量盯着你。

I'm still stuck on that bleak, forlorn island, but I've used my powers to watch over you ever since you left.

而且我答应过要报答你的善意，所以得告诉你——你正在摘的这种果子，可不是哪儿都能长的。

And since I promised I'd repay you for your kindness, I must tell you, that fruit you're picking, it won't grow just anywhere.

真的吗？

It won't?

它只会在你现在站的这片岛土上生长。

It will only grow on the soil of the island where you're standing right now.

如果你要把果子带走，就得顺便带点这里的土走。

If you take the fruit with you, you must take some of the soil with you too.

只有这样，果子才会施展魔法，在你眼前迅速长出来。

Only then will the fruit work its magic and grow before your very eyes.

伊马尼心里涌起满满的感激。

Imani felt his heart overflow with gratitude.

谢谢你，金。

Thank you, Jin.

真的太谢谢你了。

Thank you so much.

能帮上朋友的忙，我永远都乐意，伊马尼。

Always happy to help a friend in need, Imani.

伊马尼一边笑着，一边把水果和泥土装满桶里。

Imani smiled to himself as he filled his barrels with fruit and soil.

然后他回到船上，扬帆启程。

Then he got back in his boat and sailed off.

没过多久，他抵达了另一座岛——说来也巧，这正是他双胞胎兄弟被囚禁的那座岛。

He soon arrived at another island, And as fate would have it, it was the same island where his twin brother was imprisoned.

但这一次，埃莫尼还是不知道这件事。

But again, Emoni didn't know that.

于是他一把扛起桶，快步朝集市赶去。

So he snatched up his barrels and hustled over to the marketplace.

神奇水果，这儿有！

Magical fruit here.

快来买神奇水果！

Get your magical fruit.

把核吐出来，眨眼工夫就能长出一棵新树。

Spit out the pit and watch a new tree grow in the blink of an eye.

伊曼尼本以为会有一大群人围过来，争着想看看他这神奇的果子。

Imani expected a crowd to gather around eager to catch sight of his marvelous mystical fruit.

可没想到——

But instead

你说什么？神奇水果？

Magical fruit, you say?

你真打算再玩这一套？

You're seriously gonna play that trick again?

上回你玩这招，结果被关进女王的地牢了。

Last time you pulled that stunt, you wound up in the Queen's Dungeon.

她那么讨厌撒谎，简直难以相信她居然放你出来了。

Given how much she despises dishonesty and loathes lying, I can hardly believe she let you out.

真不敢相信

Can't believe

啊。

it.

真不敢相信是

Can't believe is

一开始，Imani完全懵了。

At first, Imani was utterly confused.

等等。

Wait.

等等。

Wait.

你在说什么啊？

What are you talking about?

我从来没来过这个岛。

I have never been to this island before.

你肯定是把长得跟我一模一样的人搞混了。

You must be talking about somebody who looks just like me.

有个人

Someone

哦。

oh.

突然间，伊曼尼明白了。

Suddenly, Imani understood.

他们说的肯定是他双胞胎兄弟。

They must be referring to his twin brother.

那这么说，朱马就被关在女王的地牢里了。

In which case, Juma was locked in the queen's dungeon.

伊玛尼冲到王宫，要求见女王。

Imani rushed to the palace and demanded to speak with the queen.

可女王一看到伊玛尼，脸立马沉了下来。

But when the queen caught sight of Imani, her royal face broke into a scowl.

又是你？

You again?

我得提醒你，我最讨厌撒谎，最恨骗人，绝不容许任何谎言，所以才把你关进地牢。

Need I remind you that because I despise dishonesty, because I loathe lying, because I forbid any fibs, I threw you into the dungeon.

你到底是怎么逃出来的？

How in the world did you break out?

那不是我，陛下。

But that wasn't me, your majesty.

是我双胞胎兄弟。

It was my twin brother.

他根本不是故意骗您的。

And he didn't mean to deceive you.

他带去岛上的那些水果，怎么都种不活，因为他不知道它们的秘密。

Those fruits he brought to the island, he couldn't get them to grow because he didn't know their secret.

但我懂。

But I do.

求您了，殿下，给我个机会证明自己。

Please, your highness, give me a chance to prove myself.

明早第一件事，来王宫花园。

First thing tomorrow, come to the palace garden.

我让您看看这神奇的果实。

I will show you this miraculous fruit.

女王盯着伊曼尼，久久地、严厉地打量着她。

The queen gave Imani a very long, very stern look.

行吧。

Alright.

好吧。

Fine.

明天早上，你倒是让我看看你所谓的奇迹。

Tomorrow morning, you may show me this so called miracle.

不过你给我记住了，要是搞砸了，你就跟你那不靠谱的双胞胎兄弟一起关进地牢，这辈子都别想出来了。

But remember, if you fail, you will be cast into the dungeon with your treacherous twin, and the two of you will live out your dishonest days behind bars.

第二天一早，伊曼尼天还没亮就醒了，冲到王宫花园，把那神奇的土撒了一地。

The next morning, Imani woke before sunrise, hurried to the palace garden, and sprinkled the magic soil upon the ground.

等王后赶到的时候，伊曼尼已经把整个花园都铺上了一层薄薄的魔法土壤。

By the time the queen arrived, Imani had covered the entire garden with a thin layer of the enchanted earth.

喂，小子，我没工夫跟你耗着。

Well, young man, I don't have all day.

快让我看看你那什么‘曼扬克’到底啥玩意儿。

Show me this supposed man jank of yours.

伊曼尼抓起一颗水果，直接塞进嘴里。

Imani grabbed a piece of fruit and popped it into his mouth.

他嚼啊嚼，然后把果核吐在了地上，正好落在那片魔法土上。

He began to chew and chew, and then he spat the pit onto the ground right on top of the magic soil.

就在那一瞬间，一棵全新的树从地里冒了出来，眨眼间就长成了。

And just like that, a whole new tree began to grow, springing from the earth in the blink of an eye.

女王看得目瞪口呆。

The queen was gobsmacked.

这也太神奇了吧。

That was phenomenal.

真是不可思议。

Extraordinary.

我也得试试看。

I must try it for myself.

她伸手从阿曼尼的果桶里抓了一把水果塞进嘴里。

She reached into Amani's barrel of fruit and popped a handful into her mouth.

然后她不停地吐核，结果让她高兴的是，整个王室花园里瞬间长满了魔法果树。

Then she began spitting and spitting until much to her delight, the royal garden was filled with magical fruit trees.

你这果子真是绝了，小伙子。

This fruit of yours is utterly spectacular, young man.

谢谢您，陛下。

Thank you, your majesty.

既然您知道我说的是真的，能不能放了我哥哥？

Now that you know I was telling the truth, will you please free my brother from his cell?

女王瞪着埃迪·马尼，好像他长了三个脑袋。

The queen gaped Edi Mani as if he had three heads.

放了你哥哥？

Free your brother?

不行。

No.

我不会放了你哥哥。

I will not free your brother.

撒谎就是撒谎，他可骗得我够呛。

A fib is a fib, and he told me a real whopper.

可是殿下，我真的保证，我哥哥根本不知道那是骗人的。

But your highness, I assure you, my brother did not know it was a fib.

他根本不知道那个秘密。

He just didn't know the secret.

只有我才晓得这个秘密。

Only I know the secret.

年轻人，你看起来像个魔术师，这倒让我挺感兴趣。

Young man, you appear to be some sort of magician, and that intrigues me.

这样吧，只要你再变两个魔术，我就放了你兄弟。

So I tell you what, if you can work two more feats of magic, I will free your brother.

一想到兄弟能重获自由，伊马尼的心一下子雀跃起来。

At the thought of his brother going free, Imani's heart leapt.

可一想到还得再变两个魔术，他又像泄了气的皮球。

But at the thought of having to perform two more magic tricks, his heart fell.

陛下，恕我直言，真就没别的法子，能不让我表演就放了我兄弟吗？

Your majesty, with all due respect, is there any way you can just let my brother go without me having to Absolutely not.

你要是不再变魔术，你兄弟就别想再见天日了。

You must work more magic or your brother will never see the light of day.

第一件事，我要你做的是。

Here is the first thing I want you to do.

女王伸出一只镶满宝石的手指。

The queen pointed a bejeweled finger.

你看到那边那片地了吗？

Do you see that field over there?

你是说那片一眼望不到边的大田？

You mean that huge field that stretches on for miles and miles?

就是那儿。

That's the one.

我要你把那片地全种上小麦，不是用你那种水果，是小麦。

I want you to plant it, not with that fruit of yours, but with wheat.

把王宫粮仓里所有的小麦都种下去。

All the wheat in the royal storehouse.

明天一早之前，整片地必须全部种满。

The entire field must be planted by tomorrow morning.
