鸟类的领袖

西班牙有句老话。

There's an old Spanish saying.

用英语说就是，谎言站不稳脚。

Translated to English, it means lies have short legs.

换句话说，假话和瞎扯很难瞒太久。

In other words, falsehoods and fibs can't get far without being caught.

就像我们今天要听的故事里说的，有时候谎言不只是站不稳。

As we'll hear in today's tale, sometimes lies don't just have short legs.

它们还拖着长长的尾巴。

They have long tails too.

我是丽贝卡·谢尔，欢迎收听《圆圈故事会》，这里天天都有好故事。

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

今天的故事叫《鸟群的领袖》。

Today, our story is called leader of the birds.

这个故事灵感来自玛雅人的传说，玛雅人是生活在如今危地马拉、伯利兹，以及墨西哥南部、洪都拉斯和萨尔瓦多部分地区的一个原住民族。

It was inspired by tales from the Maya, an indigenous people from a region including modern day Guatemala and Belize, plus parts of Southern Mexico, Honduras, and El Salvador.

很高兴为大家带来这个故事的几位杰出人士，包括卡罗琳·米歇尔·史密斯和克里斯托弗·里瓦斯。

Some really great people came together to bring you our story, including Carolyn Michelle Smith and Christopher Rivas.

卡罗琳·米歇尔·史密斯曾出演过《芝加哥》《如此而已》和《俄罗斯套娃》等电视剧。

Carolyn Michelle Smith has appeared on such TV shows as The Chi and Just Like That and Russian Doll.

她最新的电影是《熟悉的触感》。

Her newest film is Familiar Touch.

克里斯托弗·里瓦斯创作了图画书《你是个不错的游泳者》、回忆录《够棕的》，并主持着《鲁比罗萨》和《够棕的》两个播客。

Christopher Rivas wrote the picture book You're a Good Swimmer, the memoir Brown Enough, and hosts the podcasts Rubirosa and Brown Enough.

他还出演过《Circle Round》2022年的一集。

He also starred in a circle round episode from 2022.

故事结尾我们会告诉大家是哪一集。

We'll reveal which one at the end of the story.

现在，让我们一起进入《鸟类的领袖》这个故事。

So circle round everyone for leader of the birds.

如果你见过雉科里的孔雀，那你一定知道，雄性孔雀是世界上最漂亮的鸟类之一。

If you've seen the member of the pheasant family known as the peacock, then you know that male peacocks are some of the most beautiful birds in the world.

它们的羽毛泛着蓝宝石般的光泽、祖母绿的翠色，还有闪闪发亮的金色，展开尾羽时能形成巨大的扇形，宽高堪比一张双人床。

With iridescent plumage of sapphire blue, emerald green, and shimmering gold, they can spread their long tail feathers into a big dramatic fan, as wide and tall as a twin size bed.

不过，尽管羽毛美得惊人，它们的叫声却完全不是那么回事——尖锐刺耳，像一只在哀嚎的猫。

However, while their feathers may be gorgeous, their voices are anything but Shrill and jarring, the peacock's voice sounds like a wailing cat Meow.

或者像一把坏了的喇叭。

Or a broken trumpet Meow.

也可能两者都有。

Or a combination of both.

但在创世之初，当造物主第一次把鸟类带到世上时，孔雀的叫声并不是这样的。

But back in the beginning, when creator spirit first introduced birds to the world, Peacock's voice

我，我，我，我，我，我，我，我。

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

那时候，孔雀的叫声跟哀嚎的猫或者坏掉的喇叭完全不一样。

Was nothing like a wailing cat or broken trumpet.

其实挺悦耳的，这让孔雀特别自豪。

It was rather pleasant, actually, and it made Peacock rather proud.

没错。

Absolutely.

但是

But

尽管孔雀很喜欢自己的声音，他却特别讨厌自己的羽毛。

much as Peacock loved his voice, he loathed his feathers.

因为那时候，孔雀的羽毛就是

Because in those days, Peacock's feathers were, well,

灰扑扑的，一点光泽都没有。

Blah as can be be be be be be.

没错。

That's right.

孔雀的羽毛暗淡无光，就像阴雨的下午一样。

Peacock's plumage was as dull and drab as a rainy afternoon.

所以他特别渴望拥有一身华丽的羽毛。

So he yearned for feathers that were fabulous.

那我可就太引人注目了。

I'd be a sight to see see see see see.

等一下。

Hang on a sec.

孔雀，我们刚说到重点，你能不能也念几句自己的台词？

Peacock, not to interrupt just as we're getting started, but could you maybe speak some of your lines too?

这是个播客，又不是歌剧。

This is a podcast, not an opera.

我无所谓。

That's fine by me, me, me.

不好意思。

Sorry.

我一激动就停不下来。

I get carried away.

没关系。

That's okay.

所以，如果孔雀一开始声音悦耳、羽毛普通，那他是怎么变成今天这副样子的呢？

So if Peacock started off with a pleasant voice and plain feathers, How did he become the way he is today?

事情要从一个阳光明媚的早晨说起，那时造物主把所有鸟类召集到森林里的一片空地上，宣布一件事。

Well, it all began one sunny morning when creator spirit gathered the birds in a clearing in the forest to make an announcement.

我亲爱的羽毛朋友们，我认为现在是时候让你们选一位领袖了——一位能定规矩、解决问题、维持秩序的统治者。

My fine feathered friends, I believe it is time for you birds to elect a leader, a ruler to make laws, solve problems, and maintain order.

问题是，这个人该由谁来当？

The question is, who should this leader be?

现场沉默了一会儿。

There was a brief silence.

接着，孔雀开口了，或者该说，他唱了起来。

Then Peacock spoke or sang up.

应该是我，应该是我，应该是我，应该是我，应该是我。

It should be me, me, me, me, me.

毕竟，当领导得经常发表讲话。

After all, a leader makes a lot of speeches.

对吧？

Right?

谁不希望有个嗓音甜美动听的领导呢？

And who doesn't want a leader with a sweet melodious voice?

不过，要维持秩序，领导得有力量。

However, to maintain order, a leader needs strength.

火鸡接着开口了，展开她宽大的翅膀，咔嚓一声折断了一根树枝。

Turkey chimed in next, stretching her wide wings and snapping a branch off a tree.

我才是最强壮的鸟，所以领导应该选我。

I'm the strongest bird of all, so our leader should be me.

但领导还得有远见。

But a leader needs vision.

这时老鹰插了话，一双锐利的黄眼睛闪着光。

Now Eagle piped up, his sharp yellow eyes glittering.

从高处往下看，你们每一只鸟在做什么，我都看得一清二楚，也能根据你们的行为来评判。

From up above, I can see everything you birds do, and I can judge you for your acts.

很快，所有的鸟都争相发言，拼命向别人说明自己才该当新领袖。

Soon all the birds were sounding off, insisting to the others why they should be the new leader.

但 Cranial Spirit 注意到，有一只鸟一直沉默不语。

But Cranial Spirit noticed that one bird remained quiet.

夜鹰，你一句话都没说呢。

Nighthawk, you haven't said a word.

你能不能说说，大家为什么要投你一票？

Would you like to share why the bird should vote for you?

夜鹰耸了耸她那修长的翅膀。

Nighthawk shrugged her long, slender wings.

我不知道，创世灵。

I don't know, Creator Spirit.

我想我飞得还行吧。

I guess I'm a decent flyer.

她微微一笑，轻轻飞向空中。

She offered a humble smile and walked it into the air.

经过一系列陡峭俯冲、急转弯和大胆翻滚后，她优雅地返回地面。

After a series of steep dives, sharp turns, and daring loops, she gracefully soared back to earth.

大多数鸟儿都被夜鹰精彩的飞行深深吸引，但孔雀却注意到了别的东西。

Most of the birds were mesmerized by Nighthawk's fantastic flight, but Peacock was mesmerized by something else.

夜鹰那身漂亮的羽毛。

Nighthawk's fantastic feathers.

那时候，她的羽毛呈现出蓝宝石般的深蓝、翡翠般的翠绿，还有闪耀的金色，交织成绚丽的光晕。

In those days, her plumage was an iridescent swirl of sapphire blue, emerald green, and shimmering gold.

夜鹰，你这表演真是太棒了。

That was a wonderful display, Nighthawk.

谢谢。

Thank you.

也感谢大家踊跃分享，说明自己为何该成为鸟群的新领袖。

And thanks to all of you for suggesting why you should be the Byrds' new leader.

明天我们将举行选举。

Tomorrow, we shall hold an election.

天一亮就来见我，准备好投票。

Meet me at dawn, ready to cast your vote.

在此之前，

Till then,

再见。

farewell.

鸟儿们陆续离开空地时，孔雀却留了下来。

As the birds exited the clearing, Peacock hung back.

他那暗淡无光的头低垂着。

His dull, drab head bowed low.

唉，我真是太倒霉了。

Oh, woe is me, me, me, me, me.

我唱歌可能像天使，但Nighthawk飞起来像杂技演员，而且她的羽毛最耀眼。

I may sing like an angel, but Nighthawk can fly like an acrobat, and she has the most glamorous feathers.

有了这优势，所有鸟肯定都投她，除非……

And with that combination, all the birds are sure to vote for her, unless.

他脸上浮现出一抹狡黠的笑容。

A devilish grin crossed his face.

要是我能确保夜鹰一票都拿不到，反而全鸟都投我呢？

What if I can make sure Nighthawk doesn't get a single vote and all the birds vote for me instead?

说真的，要论谁最该当鸟群的领袖，那非我莫属。

Because let's face it, if anyone deserves to be leader of the birds, it's me.

等我赢下这次选举，那可真是风光无限了。

And when I win this election, it'll be a real feather in my cap.

孔雀到底在打什么主意？

What is Peacock planning?

他这阴险的计划能得逞吗？

Will his sneaky scheme succeed?

稍后我们接着揭晓。

We'll find out after a quick break.

一百年后的未来，在一个遥远的地方。

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

等等。

Hang on.

其实也没那么远。

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

大家注意，集中到家庭组这边。

欢迎回到《圆圈故事会》。

Welcome back to Circle Round.

我是丽贝卡·谢尔。

I'm Rebecca Scheer.

今天的故事叫《鸟群领袖》。

Today, our story is called Leader of the Birds.

上一集结束时，鸟群正要选举新的领袖。

Before the break, the Byrds were about to elect a new leader.

孔雀很想赢得选举。

Peacock yearned to win the election.

虽然他的嗓音悦耳，但羽毛却很普通。

But while his voice was pleasant, his feathers were plain.

而夜鹰的羽毛却美得惊人，有蓝宝石般的蓝色、翡翠般的绿色，还有金色。

Nighthawk, on the other hand, had gorgeous feathers, sapphire blue, emerald green, and gold.

她飞行的本领也十分出色。

She was also an impressive flyer.

孔雀担心夜鹰会赢得所有选票，于是决定耍个花招。

Peacock worried that Nighthawk would get all the votes, so he decided to play a trick.

他挤出最友善的笑容，穿过森林，去拜访夜鹰。

Pasting on the friendliest smile he could muster, he crossed the forest and paid Nighthawk a visit.

嗨，夜鹰，最近怎么样？

Hey there, Nighthawk.

你最近还好吗？

How you doing?

我很好，孔雀。

I'm great, Peacock.

你呢？你最近怎么样？

How are you?

我还不错。

I'm good.

我挺好的。

I'm pretty good.

但我一直在想这个选举的事。

But I've been thinking about this election thing.

创世之灵说，我们需要一只鸟来制定法律、解决问题、维持秩序。

Creator spirit says we need one bird to make laws, solve problems, and maintain order.

但我忍不住想，为什么只能是一只呢？

But I can't help but wonder, why just one?

夜鹰把那蓝绿相间、镶着金边的头歪了歪。

Nighthawk cocked her blue green and gold head.

你是说，应该让不止一只鸟来管事？

Are you saying we should have more than one bird in charge?

没错，我就是这个意思。

I sure am.

孔雀凑近过来，像是在分享什么秘密。

Peacock leaned in close as if sharing a secret.

据我所知，凭我这副好嗓子，选举肯定稳了。

From what I hear, I've got this election in the bag with my beautiful singing voice.

所有鸟都打算投我一票。

All the birds plan on voting for me.

是我。

Me.

是我。

Me.

是我。

Me.

是我。

Me.

是我。

Me.

是我。

Me.

是我。

Me.

真的吗？

Really?

当然是了。

Oh, yeah.

听说我这场选举赢定了，翅膀都不用动就能赢。

Word has it, I'm gonna win this election hands down, wings down too.

等我当上新领袖，我希望你能跟我一起领导大家，做我的搭档。

And when I become the new leader, I want you to lead with me as my partner.

我只有一个小小的要求。

I just ask one thing in return.

那会是什么？

And what would that be?

孔雀把暗淡的翅膀收拢在暗淡的胸前。

Peacock folded his drab wings over his drab chest.

你的羽毛。

Your feathers.

我的羽毛？

My feathers?

夜鹰的。

Nighthawk's

他的喙惊讶地张开了。

beak dropped open.

你想要我的羽毛？

You want my feathers?

就借到选举结束为止。

Just till after the election.

等我拿到鸟儿们的选票，就还给你。

And once I get the bird's vote, you can have them back.

然后你就宣布我是你的联合领袖？

And then you'll announce that I'm your co leader?

当然。

Sure.

夜鹰停了下来，仔细想了想。

Nighthawk paused and thought it over.

好吧，孔雀。

Okay, Peacock.

我可以把羽毛借给你。

I'll let you borrow my feathers.

夜鹰迅速拔下了她的羽毛，孔雀也立刻把它们全穿到了身上。

Nighthawk made quick work of plucking out her plumage, and Peacock made quick work of putting it on.

把蓝色、绿色和金色的羽毛贴满全身后，他自豪地挺起了胸膛。

After pasting the blue, green, and gold feathers all over his body, he puffed out his chest with pride.

那么，我看起来怎么样？

Well, how do I look?

夜鹰现在光秃秃的，像一个乒乓球，冻得直打哆嗦。

Nighthawk, who was now as bald as a ping pong ball, shivered.

你看起来棒极了，孔雀。

You look great, Peacock.

我得承认，没羽毛的时候我才意识到有多冷。

Though I have to admit, I had no idea how cold I would be without feathers.

选举结束后你得把羽毛还给我。

You'll give them back after the election.

对吧？

Right?

咱们一起带领鸟群。

And we'll lead the birds together.

但她没得到回应，因为孔雀已经一溜烟地跑远了，身上闪着蓝绿金三色的光芒。

But she didn't get an answer because Peacock had already bounded away in a dazzling blur of blue, green, and gold.

孔雀整晚都睡不着，兴奋得不得了。

Peacock stayed up all night, too excited to sleep.

天一亮，他就冲到空地上，去找创世灵和那些鸟儿。

Come dawn, he raced to meet Creator Spirit and the birds in the clearing.

大家早上好。

Good morning, folks.

希望你们没在我没来之前就开始投票了，没吧，没吧，没吧，没吧，没吧，没吧，没吧，没吧，没吧。

I hope you didn't start voting without me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

鸟儿们都盯着孔雀，嘴巴张得老大。

The birds stared at Peacock, their beaks agape.

他那曾经暗淡的头顶，如今长满了鲜艳的羽毛，长长的尾羽舒展开来，形成一道令人屏息的扇形。

His once dull head was crested with bright feathers, and his long lustrous tail was spread out in a wide breath taking fan.

你看起来太棒了，孔雀。

You look amazing, Peacock.

简直威严极了。

Absolutely regal.

就冲你这羽毛和嗓音，我投你当鸟群首领。

Between your feathers and your voice, you've got my vote for leader of the birds.

我也是。

Mine too.

鸟儿们叽叽喳喳地表示赞同，孔雀冲创世神咧嘴一笑。

As the birds twittered their agreement, Peacock gave creator Spirit a grin.

好了，创世神，您都听到了吧。

Well, creator Spirit, there you have it.

我刚被选为鸟群的首领。

I was just elected leader of the birds.

咱们现在正式确认一下？

Shall we make it official?

创世神一言不发。

Creator Spirit said nothing.

他只是目光缓缓下移，从孔雀色彩斑斓的头部，滑过脖子，再落到翅膀上。

Instead, the deity's eyes traveled down Peacock's colorful body, from his colorful head to his colorful neck to his colorful wings.

当目光停在那条尾巴上时，便定住了，一眨不眨。

When they landed on his colorful tail, they rested there unblinking.

创世神啊，我们是不是该正式宣誓就职什么的？

Creator spirit, shouldn't we swear me in or whatever?

你刚也听到了，我可是全票当选的。

As you just heard, I just won the election unanimously.

所有鸟都投了我。

Everybody voted for me.

全部。

Everybody.

创世神的眉头因愤怒而皱起。

Creator Spirit's brow nodded with anger.

所有人都投了你？

Everybody voted for you?

那夜鹰呢？

What about Nighthawk?

夜鹰也投了你吗？

Did Nighthawk vote for you?

哦，等等。

Oh, wait.

夜鹰不在这里。

Nighthawk isn't here.

我看到的夜鹰，就只有她那几根羽毛，因为你正穿着它们。

All I see of Nighthawk are her feathers because you are wearing them.

孔雀心里一紧，但还是装作若无其事。

Peacock felt a rush of panic, but he tried playing it cool.

你说得对，创世之灵。

You're right, creator spirit.

我确实穿着夜鹰的羽毛。

I am wearing Nighthawk's feathers.

她特别希望我能赢下这次选举。

She wanted so badly for me to win this election.

她坚信漂亮的羽毛能帮我赢得选票，所以坚持把羽毛拔下来送给了我。

She was certain that prettier plumage would get me the vote, so she insisted on taking off her feathers and giving them to me.

我坚持了什么？

I insisted on what?

鸟儿们齐刷刷地转过头，望向空地边缘。

The birds swiveled their heads to the edge of the clearing.

那里，纳特霍克脸色苍白、身形消瘦，冷得直发抖。

And there, pale, thin, and trembling with cold, was Nighthawk.

我可没把羽毛送给你，孔雀。

I didn't give you my feathers, Peacock.

我只是借给你，因为你答应过，只要我这么做，等你当选后就让我跟你一起当领袖。

I let you borrow them because you promised that if I did, I would be your co leader when you won the election.

可那全是骗人的。

But it was all a lie.

你只是在利用我，好往上爬。

You were just using me to gain power.

你怎么能这么自私？

How could you be so selfish?

创世灵瞪了孔雀一眼，那眼神锐利得能戳碎一颗鸟蛋。

Creator spirit shot Peacock a look so sharp, it could have cracked a bird's egg.

孔雀，夜鹰说的都是真的吗？

Peacock, is what Nighthawk says true?

真的吗？

Is it true?

孔雀五彩的胸脯猛地一紧，满是惊慌。

Peacock's colorful chest surged with panic.

其实是这样的，

Well, the the thing is

够了。

Enough.

创世灵狠狠瞪了孔雀一眼，随即又对其他鸟儿露出微笑。

Creator spirit fired Peacock a scowl, then flashed the other birds a smile.

我亲爱的鸟儿们，夜鹰被亏待了。

My fine feathered friends, Nighthawk has been done a disservice.

一场卑劣、狡诈、阴险的陷害。

A dishonest, deceitful, devious disservice.

所以我要你们好好补偿她。

So I want you to do her a kindness.

你们每人拔下一根羽毛。

I want each of you to pluck out one of your feathers.

拿去送给夜鹰，让她能添上一身新羽毛，暖和身子。

Bring it to Nighthawk so she may have a new coat of plumage to keep her warm.

鸟儿们照做了。

The birds did as they were told.

它们拔下羽毛，轻轻装饰在夜鹰的头和脸上。

They plucked out a feather and adorned Nighthawk's head and face.

谢谢你们，朋友们。

Thank you, friends.

还有她的胸口和腹部。

Her chest and belly.

非常感谢，各位。

Much obliged, friends.

她的翅膀和尾巴。

Her wings and tail.

我真的很感激，朋友们。

I'm so grateful, friends.

等大家做完，夜鹰整个人都焕然一新了。

When they were finished, Nighthawk had a whole new look.

她全身覆盖着灰、棕、黑和白的各种色调，长长的细翅膀下方还有一道明亮的月牙形斑纹。

She was covered in shades of gray, brown, black, and white, with a bright crescent shaped patch on the underside of her long, slender wings.

创世灵满意地点了点头，然后目光坚定地看向孔雀。

Creator Spirit gave the birds a satisfied nod, then leveled Peacock with a steely gaze.

孔雀，你身上那些绿的、蓝的、金的羽毛美极了，和你的嗓音一样动人，你就留着吧。

Peacock, those green, blue, and gold feathers you wear are gorgeous, stunning, every bit as beautiful as your voice, and you may keep them.

我可以留着它们？

I can keep them?

是的。

Yes.

但你必须明白这一点。

But you must understand this.

真正的美，不是穿在身上的外表。

True beauty, real beauty isn't something one wears on the outside.

而是藏在内心的东西，当我们展现善意、爱与关怀时，它就会自然流露出来，就像其他鸟儿对夜鹰做的那样。

It's something one has on the inside, and it rises to the surface when we show kindness, love, and care, just like your fellow birds showed for Nighthawk.

确实如此。

Indeed, they did.

但你，孔雀，你表现出来的却是相反的。

But you, Peacock, you showed the opposite.

所以，虽然你可以保留你美丽的羽毛，但你必须失去你动听的嗓音。

And so while you may keep your beautiful feathers, you must lose your beautiful voice.

从今以后，你那甜美的歌声将变成刺耳的尖叫。

From now on, your sweet melodious song shall become a harsh grating screech.

但创世之灵，您就不能可怜可怜我吗？我，我，我，我，我啊？

But creator spirit, can't you take pity on me, me, me, me, me?

孔雀的嘴张开了。

Peacock's beak fell open.

你到底做了什么？

What have you done?

我的声音现在像只哀嚎的猫，或者破掉的喇叭——哇哦。

My voice sounds like a wailing cat or a broken trumpet Woah.

或者两者混在一起。

Or a combination of both.

从那以后，这刺耳尖锐的声音就成了一个深刻的提醒：当我们展现善意、爱与关怀时，就能与任何人产生共鸣。

And ever since, that shrill and jarring voice has served as an unforgettable reminder that when we show kindness, love, and care, we can hit the right note with anyone.

而孔雀却永远注定发出错误的音符。

Unlike Peacock, who's forever doomed to hit the wrong one.

现在，轮到你了。

Now it's your turn.

如果你要选一个领导者，你希望他具备哪三个品质？

If you were choosing a leader, what are three qualities you would want them to have?

先想想你最看重的三个品质，然后跟家人或朋友分享一下。

Brainstorm your top three qualities, then share them with a family member or friend.

在日常生活中，试着去践行这些品质。

And as you go about your daily life, try to demonstrate those qualities.

即使你不想统治世界，展现一点领导力也总没有坏处。

Even if you don't want to rule the world, it never hurts to show a little leadership.
