夏令营：鹦鹉的诺言

WBUR 播客，波士顿。

WBUR Podcasts, Boston.

各位听众，大家好。

Greetings, listeners.

欢迎回到《圆圈营地》夏日特辑。

Welcome back to Circle Round Summer Camp.

我是你们的营地辅导员，艾丽卡·亨宁森。

I'm your camp counselor, Erica Henningsen.

这个季节，我们将重温一些关于户外生活的精彩故事。

This season, we are revisiting some of our best stories about life in the great outdoors.

你们知道谁最享受待在户外吗？

And do you know who really enjoys being outside?

我们的羽毛朋友——鸟类，它们每天都能展开翅膀，飞往新的地方，遇见新的人。

Our fellow feathery friends, the birds, who every day get to spread their wings and sword in new places and new people.

今天这集叫《虎皮鹦鹉的承诺》，我们会听到其中一位朋友的智慧，这些话或许能改变你看待世界的方式。

Today's episode is called The Parakeet's Promise, and in it, we'll hear wisdom from one of those friends, wisdom that may just change how you see the world.

好了，各位，欢迎收听《鹦鹉的承诺》。

So, Circle Round, everyone, for The Parakeet's Promise.

想一想，你有没有为别人做过什么慷慨的事？

Think about a time you did something generous for someone.

也许是帮了对方一把，或者给了对方一份善意。

Maybe you gave them some help or some kindness.

当我们给予他人时，受益的不只是对方。

When we give to others, they're not the only ones who benefit.

表现出慷慨，能让我们的人际关系更紧密，也能让自己更快乐、更积极。

Showing generosity can strengthen our relationships and make us feel more happy and positive.

接下来我们要认识一位角色，她原本觉得‘慷慨’就是空话，直到她遇见了一只真正的鸟，才彻底改变了对这件事的看法。

We're about to meet a character who believes that being generous is for the birds until she meets an actual bird who helps her see things in a whole new light.

我是丽贝卡·谢尔，欢迎收听《Circle Round》，这里随时都有故事上演。

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

今天的故事叫《鹦鹉的承诺》。

Today, our story is called The Parakeet's Promise.

这个民间故事的版本源自东南亚国家印度。

Versions of this folktale come from the Southeast Asian country of India.

许多杰出人士共同参与了这个故事的呈现，包括百老汇明星洛娜·考特尼和舒芭·纳拉扬。

Some really great people came together to bring you our story, including Broadway stars Lorna Courtney and Shoba Narayan.

洛娜·考特尼正在斯蒂芬·桑德海姆剧院主演全新百老汇音乐剧《朱丽叶》。

Lorna Courtney plays the title role in the brand new Broadway musical and Juliet at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.

舒芭·纳拉扬目前正在新阿姆斯特丹剧院出演百老汇剧目《阿拉丁》。

And Shoba Narayan is currently starring in the Broadway production of Aladdin at the New Amsterdam Theatre.

所以，大家围过来，听一听这只长尾小鹦鹉的承诺。

So circle around everyone, for the parakeets promise.

从前有一位农妇，每天忙着放羊、挤山羊奶，照料她那片小米田——小米是长在高高草茎上的小颗粒谷物。

There once was a farmer who spent her days herding her sheep, milking her goats, and tending her field of millet, small seed like grains that grow on tall, grassy plants.

这位农妇的田地格外肥沃，产出的小米远远超过她自家需要的量。

The farmer's field was so lush and fertile that it produced far more millet than she actually needed.

可她并没有把多余的小米分给村里挨饿的家庭，也没分享给路过她那间宽敞农舍的疲惫旅人，而是全都留给了自己。

Yet instead of giving her extra millet to hungry families in the village, say, or sharing it with weary travelers who came wandering past her big, roomy farmhouse, the farmer kept it all to herself.

这是我的小米，我想怎么处理都由我做主。

This is my millet, and I may do with it as I choose.

而我决定，全部留给自己。

And what I choose is to keep it, all for me.

有一天一大早，还没到农妇平时起床的时间，她被窗外一阵奇怪的声音惊醒了。

Well, early one morning, hours before the farmer usually got out of bed, she was startled awake by an unusual sound outside her window.

外面怎么这么吵？

What is all that commotion?

听起来像是从小米地里传来的。

It sounds like it's coming from the millet field.

农妇赶紧披上衣服，冲了出去。

The farmer threw on her work clothes and hurried outside.

等她赶到小米地，发现那里密密麻麻全是鸟。

When she reached the millet field, she discovered it was swarming with hundreds upon hundreds of birds.

确切地说，是几百年鹦鹉。

Parakeets to be exact.

这些鹦鹉羽毛油亮，绿得像没熟的香蕉，喙红得像落日。

Flittering, twittering parakeets with sleek feathers as green as an unripe banana and curved beaks as red as the setting sun.

天哪。

My goodness.

这些鹦鹉都是打哪儿来的？

Where did all of these parakeets come from?

你瞧瞧它们。

And look at them.

它们正在吃我的小米。

They're gobbling up my millet.

我得赶紧把它们赶走。

I have to stop them.

农妇一把扯下帽子，

The farmer yanked off her hat

一边在田里来回奔跑，一边挥动着帽子。

and waved it around as she zigged and zagged up and down the field.

喂，你们这些烦人的鸟儿。

Hey, you pesky birds.

你们吃的是我的小米。

That's my millet you're devouring.

快走开。

Get out of here.

走。

Go.

走。

Go.

成百上千只受惊的鹦鹉扑腾着翅膀，纷纷腾空而起。

The air erupted with a great flapping and fluttering as hundreds of alarmed parakeets scrambled to take wing.

这下好了。

There you go.

苏，苏，去找别的地儿吃吧。

Sue, Sue, find someone else's field to plunder.

等鸟群一走，农妇望着她的小米地——准确说，是还剩下来的那点地。

Once it seemed like all the parakeets were gone, the farmer gazed at her millet field, or what was left of it anyway.

好多植株都被踩坏了，地上散落着小米粒，都是鸟儿们慌忙逃走时吐出来或掉下来的。

Many of the plants were trampled, and the ground was littered with millet grains that the birds had either spit out or dropped in their haste to leave.

这些讨厌的鹦鹉倒是留下一地狼藉，不过好在总算走了。

Well, those pesky parakeets left a mess, but at least they're gone.

这下我总算能继续干别的事了……哦不。

Now I can finally get on with the rest of the things I need to oh, no.

农妇眼角余光一瞥，看见的东西让她心猛地一沉。

Out of the corner of her eye, the farmer saw something that made her heart drop.

那鸟通体翠绿，像没熟的香蕉，喙子红得像落日，正一口接一口地往嘴里塞小米粒。

It was as green as an unripe banana with a curved beak as red as the setting sun, and it was filling that curved beak with grain after grain of millet.

真烦。

Ugh.

看来我高兴得太早了。

Looks like I spoke too soon.

那些烦人的鹦鹉里还有一只没走，正往嘴里塞更多的小米呢。

One of those pesky parakeets is still here, and it's loading up on even more millet.

喂，鸟儿。

Hey, bird.

这小米是我的，不是你的。

That's my millet, not yours.

赶紧吐出来，快走开。

Now spit it out and scram.

可那只鹦鹉根本没走。

But the parakeet did not scram.

它就站在那儿，不停地往那鲜红的喙里塞小米。

It just stood there, cramming its scarlet beak with millet.

它脖子上围着一圈红黑相间的羽毛。

Around its neck was a ring of red and black feathers.

鸟儿，你听见我说话了吗？

Bird, did you hear me?

我让你走开。

I said beat it.

这次鸟终于飞走了，不过在走之前，它冲农夫意味深长地看了一眼，又往它那弯弯的红喙里塞了几粒小米。

This time, the parakeet did beat it, but not before giving the farmer a thoughtful look and stuffing a few more grains of millet into its curved red beak.

接着，鸟拍了拍翅膀，飞上天空，消失在云层里。

Then the parakeet flapped its wings, lifted into the air, and disappeared into the clouds.

哎，这只鸟。

Oh, that bird.

它不仅在其他鸟都走光了之后还赖着不走，临走还叼走了一嘴小米。

Not only did it stick around after all of its friends left, but it flew away with a beak full of millet.

我的小米。

My millet.

要是再让我看见这贪心的家伙，我非让它再也别回来不可。

If I see that greedy creature again, I'll make sure it never comes back.

农夫一整天都在照料她的小米地、赶羊、挤羊奶。

The farmer spent the rest of the day tending her millet field, herding her sheep, and milking her goats.

她回到农舍，吃了顿丰盛的晚餐，然后才安心睡下。

She came back to her farmhouse for a hearty dinner before drifting off to sleep.

但你猜猜，第二天一大早是什么把她惊醒了？

But can you guess what woke her with a jolt early the next morning?

没错。

That's right.

那

The

鸟儿们。

birds.

它们回来了。

They're back.

确实回来了。

They sure were.

和昨天一样，农夫的田里又挤满了鹦鹉，全都埋头啄着小米。

Just like yesterday, the farmer's field was teeming with parakeets, all of them nibbling away on millet.

于是，农夫又一次冲了出去。

And so once more, the farmer darted outside.

快走快走，鸟儿们。

Get out of here, birds.

走开。

Scout.

令农夫松了一口气的是，鸟群果然飞走了，振翅升空。

Much to the farmer's relief, the birds did indeed scoot, spreading their wings and taking to the sky.

但农夫又失望了，天哪。

But much to the farmer's dismay Oh, no.

有一只鸟留了下来。

One of the birds stayed behind.

就是那只脖子上有红黑环的。

The one with the red and black ring around its neck.

又是你。

You again.

你看看你自个儿。

Look at you.

你所有的朋友都走了，你咋还往嘴里塞小米呢？

All your friends have moved on, yet you're still cramming your beak with millet?

你就不知道啥时候该停吗？

Don't you know when enough is enough?

赶紧走吧，

Get out of here,

你这自私的鸟。

you selfish bird.

快走。

Go.

鹦鹉又往嘴里塞了好些小米粒。

The parakeet loaded several more grains of millet into its beak.

接着，它盯着农夫看了很久，然后展翅飞走，绿色的身影在天空中越来越小。

Then it gave the farmer a long, thoughtful stare and flew away, its bright green body growing smaller and smaller as it soared into the sky.

农妇希望这真是她最后一次见到这些鹦鹉了，尤其是那只总爱留下来，把嘴塞得满满的家伙。

The farmer hoped that was the last she had seen of the parakeets, especially the one who always stayed behind and pecked around until its beak was overflowing.

可第二天一早，

And yet, early the next morning

天哪，

Oh, no.

又来了。

Not again.

农妇又一次冲出门外，把鸟儿们赶走。

Once again, the farmer dashed outside and chased the birds away.

可还是有一只留了下来，就是那只红黑相间脖子的鸟。

And once again, one of them stayed behind, the one with the red and black neck feathers.

和往常一样，它又往嘴里塞了更多的小米。

As usual, it was loading its beak with even more millet.

农妇气得脸色发青，可就在这时，她突然想到了一个主意。

Anger flared across the farmer's face, but then suddenly she got an idea.

她深吸一口气，露出最温柔的笑容，然后蹲在鹦鹉旁边。

She took a breath, put on her sweetest smile, then knelt down on the ground right near the parakeet.

哎呀，小家伙，你好啊。

Why, hello there, bird.

你一定特别爱吃这种小米吧，每次走都带这么多。

You must love this millet, Always taking so much with you when you go.

没想到我这农场还做起了这么火的外卖生意。

Who knew my farm could do such a brisk takeout business?

鹦鹉根本没理她。

The parakeet paid the farmer no mind.

它只顾着往嘴里装小米。

It just kept gathering millet in its beak.

你知道吗，小鸟？

You know what, bird?

你尽管吃吧。

Go ahead.

尽管拿吧

Take all

想拿多少都行。

the millet you want.

你虽然装了这么多，却根本飞不走。

Because even though you're loading up, you're not flying away.

农妇手一伸，迅速抓住了那只鹦鹉，紧紧攥住。

Quick as a wink, the farmer stretched out her hand, seized the parakeet, and held it tight.

你这鸟，现在跟我回家，这辈子都关在笼子里，看你还怎么偷我的粮食。

You're going right into my house, Bird, where you'll spend the rest of your life trapped in a cage so that you'll never steal from me again.

农妇猛地站起来，朝自家农舍快步跑去。

The farmer leaped to her feet and began speeding toward her farmhouse.

可她没跑多远，就突然停住了，像被定在原地一样。

But she didn't get far before something happened that made her freeze right in her tracks.

你觉得农妇碰上了什么事？

What do you think happened to the farmer?

那这只鹦鹉后来怎么样了？

And what will become of the parakeet?

稍后我们就会知道答案，先插个广告。

We'll find out after a quick break.

一百年以后，在一个遥远的地方——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.

欢迎回到《圆圈故事》。

Welcome back to Circle Round.

今天的故事叫《鹦鹉的承诺》。

Today, our story is called the Parakeet's Promise.

上回说到，一位富有的农夫抓到了一只偷吃小米的绿鹦鹉。

Before the break, a well-to-do farmer seized a green parakeet who had been flying off with her millet.

但当农妇一把抓住这只鸟时，她惊讶地发现，它竟然一点都没有挣扎。

But as the farmer clutched the bird in her hand, she was shocked to see that the creature didn't struggle.

它安静得纹丝不动。

It stayed perfectly still.

哎呀，你可真特别。

My, you're an odd one.

你看起来既不害怕，也不为偷我的小米感到愧疚。

You don't seem the least bit scared or the least bit sorry about stealing my millet.

我是说，你每天叼走那么多谷子，到底拿去干什么了？

I mean, what do you do with all those grains you carry away each day?

你是不是藏在

Are you hoarding them in

自己的小仓库里？

your own little storehouse?

其实，

Actually,

不是。

no.

农妇倒吸了一口冷气。

The farmer gasped.

她怎么也没想到，这只鹦鹉居然会回答她的问题。

The last thing she expected was for the parakeet to actually answer her question.

等等。

Wait.

什么？

What?

我是说，其实不是。

I said, actually, no.

我没有自己的小仓库。

I don't have my own little storehouse.

我有的，只是一句承诺。

All I have is my promise.

这时，农夫又惊又惑。

Now the farmer was both surprised and confused.

你的承诺？

Your promise?

对。

Yes.

我的誓言，我的话，我的保证。

My pledge, my word, my guarantee.

我知道承诺是什么，鸟儿。

I know what a promise is, bird.

但你许诺跟偷走我的小米有什么关系？

But what does making promises have to do with making off with my millet?

这可不只是许诺的事。

Well, it isn't just about making promises.

关键是信守承诺。

It's about keeping them.

多亏了你的小米，我不但兑现了一个承诺，还一口气兑现了三个。

And thanks to your millet, I'm not just keeping one promise, I'm keeping three.

三个承诺？

Three promises?

你到底在说些什么？

What on earth are you talking about?

让我来跟你解释一下。

Allow me to explain.

第一个承诺，是还一笔债。

The first promise is to pay back a debt.

第二个承诺，是借一笔钱。

The second promise is to grant a loan.

第三个承诺，是送一份礼物。

And the third promise is to give a gift.

行了，鸟儿。

Okay, bird.

我现在有点跟不上了。

Now you've lost me.

鹦鹉眨了眨它那双明亮圆润的眼睛。

The parakeet blinked its bright round eyes.

我们先说第一个承诺：还债。

Let's begin with the first promise, paying back a debt.

其实我跟父母住在一起。

You see, I live with my parents.

他们是无私又慈爱的鸟，多年悉心照顾我，直到年纪大了，身体衰弱，连自己都难照顾了。

Selfless, loving birds who spent years caring for me before they grew so frail and feeble that they could hardly care for themselves.

所以每天我都用嘴叼着小米回家，报答他们曾经给我的食物、庇护和爱。

So every day, I gather millet in my beak and bring it home for them to pay them back for all the times they gave me food and shelter and love.

农妇心里轻轻一颤。

The farmer felt her heart give a little ping.

令她意外的是，她竟被这只鸟的忠诚打动了。

To her surprise, she found she was a little bit moved by the bird's devotion.

所以你是在回报父母的恩情。

So you're paying a debt back to your parents.

这真得很暖心。

That's very sweet.

那第二个承诺呢？

But what about the second promise?

就是关于借钱的那个？

The one about granting a loan?

你该怎么解释这个呢？

How do you explain that?

其实我不只是和父母住在一起。

Well, I don't just live with my parents.

我也和我的孩子们住在一起。

I live with my children too.

有十只小雏鸟，还不会飞，离不开巢。

10 young chicks who can't yet fly and leave the nest.

所以我收集小米来喂我的孩子们，就当是借出去的贷款。

So I gather millet to feed my little ones as a loan.

毕竟，就像我照顾父母一样，等我年老体弱的时候，我的孩子们也会照顾我。

After all, just like I do with my parents, my children will take care of me when I am frail and feeble.

农夫忍不住笑了。

The farmer couldn't help but smile.

明白了。

Okay.

所以债务和贷款我都懂了。

So I understand the debt and the loan.

但你提到的第三个承诺——那份礼物，这又是什么意思？

But that third promise you mentioned, the gift, what's that about?

鹦鹉歪了歪它毛茸茸的绿脑袋。

The parakeet cocked its feathery green head.

虽然我和父母、孩子共用一个巢，但我和成百上千只鸟共享整片森林。

Well, I may share a nest with my parents and children, but I share a forest with hundreds of other birds, thousands even.

很多鸟儿都没法出去找吃的。

And many of those birds are unable to get out and gather their own food.

它们自己也正经历着艰难和困苦。

They're going through their own struggles and hardships.

所以我总留一些小米给它们，这是善意，是慷慨，是施予。

So I always promise to save some grains of millet for them as an act of kindness, of generosity, of charity.

还有什么比这更大的礼物呢？

And really, what greater gift is there than that?

农夫没有回答鹦鹉的问题。

The farmer didn't answer the parakeet's question.

她沉默了一会儿。

Instead, she was quiet for a moment.

然后她伸出双手，松开手指，让这只小巧却心怀大爱的鸟儿飞走了。

Then she held out her hands, uncurled her fingers, and let the tiny, big hearted bird fly away.

再见了，我的鹦鹉朋友。

Goodbye, my parakeet friend.

去实现你的三个承诺吧，随时都可以回来。

Go keep your three promises and come back anytime.

从那天起，农夫不再把种的所有小米都留给自己。

Well, from that day forward, the farmer no longer kept all of the millet she grew.

她把田地分成了三块。

Instead, she divided her field into three parts.

她留出一小块给自己用。

She set aside a small section for herself.

她留出更大的一块给鹦鹉们。

She set aside a larger section for the parakeets.

她留出最大的一块给整个社区。

And she set aside the largest section of all for the community.

任何在村里、镇上或乡下生活艰难、需要一顿饱饭和一颗温暖之心的人，都可以来取。

Anyone in the village, town, or countryside who was struggling to get by, and could use the gift of a full belly and an even fuller heart.

现在，轮到你了。

Now it's your turn.

你能许下哪三个承诺，来帮助别人呢？

What are three promises you can make to help benefit others?

也许你可以答应捐一些衣服或玩具给收容所，或者捐书给图书馆。

Maybe you can promise to donate clothing or toys to a shelter or books to a library.

也许你可以答应对年幼的兄弟姐妹更有耐心，或者帮大人分担一些家务。

Perhaps you can promise to be more patient with a younger sibling or to help a grown up with some chores.

也许你可以答应和朋友玩最爱的游戏时轮流来。

Maybe you can promise to take turns with a friend when you're playing your favorite game.

想好你的三个承诺，然后跟身边的大人说一说。

Think about your three promises, then share them with a grown up in your life.

再请他们也分享一下他们的三个承诺。

Then ask them to share three promises of their own.

之后，你们约好一起行动，把承诺变成现实。

After that, make a pact that you'll both go out there and make your promises come true.
