夏令营：阳光之树

大家好，欢迎回到我们的特别夏令营，Circle Round的听众朋友们。

Well, hello there, Circle Round listeners, and welcome back to our very special summer camp.

我是你们的营地辅导员艾丽卡·亨宁森，这个夏天，我们将重温一些你们最爱的户外主题节目。

I'm your camp counselor, Erica Henningsen, and this summer, we're listening back to some of your favorite episodes all about the outdoors.

夏天最让我喜欢的事，就是晒太阳。

One of my favorite things about the summer, spending time in the sun.

尤其是对我们这些来自寒冷地区的人来说，没有什么比温暖的阳光带来的快乐感觉更棒了。

Especially for those of us from colder parts of the world, there is nothing better than the warm, happy feelings we get from good old sunshine.

所以今天这集节目，讲的是《阳光之树》。

And that's why today's episode is The Sunlight Tree.

这个故事讲述两个人如何在一个不寻常的地方找到了希望与快乐，并从此改变了他们的一生。

This story tells how two people find hope and happiness in one unusual place, and it changes their lives forever.

现在，让我们围坐一圈，一起来听《阳光之树》。

So let's circle around and listen to the sunlight tree.

本集Circle Round节目特别录制于2025年10月11日，在波士顿交响乐厅现场进行，由波士顿交响乐团的乐手们和一群明星演员共同呈现。

This Circle Round episode is a very special one, recorded live with players from the Boston Symphony Orchestra and a star studded cast of actors at Symphony Hall on 10/11/2025.

接下来，让我们开始这个故事。

And now on with the story.

你有没有特别喜欢的一棵树？

Do you have a favorite tree?

也许你喜欢的是某种树，比如白桦树或者松树。

Maybe it's a kind of tree, like a birch or a pine.

也可能是某一棵具体的树，比如公园里那棵你总爱爬的老橡树，或者秋天落叶后，你最爱跳进那堆脆叶里的枫树。

Perhaps it's a specific tree, like that old oak you love to climb in the park, or the maple whose crispy leaves you love jumping into after they fall.

今天的故事讲的是一棵非常特别的树，它不掉叶子，而是洒下光芒。

Today's story is all about a very special tree, one that doesn't shed leaves, it sheds light.

我是丽贝卡·谢尔，欢迎来到马萨诸塞州波士顿交响音乐厅的《Circle Round》现场演出。

I'm Rebecca Scheer, and welcome to Circle Round Live at Symphony Hall in Boston, Massachusetts.

今天我们要讲的故事叫《阳光之树》。

Today our story is called The Sunlight Tree.

好了，各位，让我们围成一圈，一起来听《阳光之树》。

So circle round everyone for the sunlight tree.

在一座宁静山丘上的小木屋里，住着一对姐妹，塞尔玛和斯维亚。

In a quaint wooden hut, atop a quiet wooded hill, there two sisters, Selma and Svea.

塞尔玛和斯维亚和她们的宠物鸟——一只闪亮的黑色星椋鸟拉尔斯，一起住在这间小屋里。

Selma and Svea shared the hut with their pet bird, a glossy jet black starling named Lars.

我就是拉尔斯。

That's me, Lars.

我得提一下，Lars 是会说话的。

I suppose I should mention Lars could talk.

对啊。

Oh, yeah.

我特别喜欢说话。

I love talking.

要是有机会，我能说上一整天。

I could talk and talk all day if given the chance.

我信。

I bet you could.

问题是，Selma 和 Svea 根本不知道我会说话。

Thing is, Selma and Sevilla don't know that I can talk.

我觉得要是让她们知道了，可能有点怪。

I figured it might be kind of weird for them.

所以你能不能别提这事？

So do you mind not saying anything?

我一个字都不会说。

I won't breathe a word.

那你呢？

And how about you?

你介意别对外说吗？

Do you mind keeping things on the down low?

谢谢。

Thank you.

我喜欢这些人。

I like these people.

我也喜欢他们。

I like them too.

不过，Lars，你能小声点吗？

But do you mind piping down Lars?

我们得继续讲下去了。

We need to carry on with the story.

哦，没问题。

Oh, no problem.

我确实还会再出现。

I do make a return appearance.

对吧？

Right?

对，你会再出现。

Oh, yes, you do.

你扮演的角色非常重要。

You play a very important part.

好的。

Alright.

那继续吧。

Then carry on.

谢谢。

Thanks.

那座坐落在树林山坡上的木屋很小，但每天都是阳光明媚。

So the wooden hut on the wooded hill was very small, but it was also very bright day in and day out.

即使天空阴沉灰暗，墙面上也仿佛泛着阳光。

Its walls glowed with sunlight even when skies were cloudy and gray.

你知道这是为什么吗？

And do you know why?

我不知道。

I don't.

我也不清楚。

I don't.

谢谢，拉尔斯。

Thanks, Lars.

不过我刚才是在对观众说，我们接着讲吧

But I was talking to the audience, And we need to carry on with

就接着讲这个故事。

Just with the story.

对。

Right.

你接着说。

Go ahead.

谢谢。

Thanks.

我们说到哪儿了？

Where were we?

你刚才说，那座位于树林山丘上的木屋充满了阳光。

You were saying that our wooden hut on the wooded hill is filled with sunlight.

即使天空阴云密布、灰蒙蒙的。

Even when skies are cloudy and gray.

没错。

Yes.

谢谢塞玛和斯维亚。

Thank you Selma and Svea.

不用客气。

You're very welcome.

Selma 和我本来

Selma and I would

可以早点到的，但我们一直在村子里分发我们那棵阳光树上的水果。

have gotten here earlier, but we were down in the village giving away fruit from our sunlight tree.

其实那是一棵梨树。

It's actually a pear tree.

Svea 和我搬来的时候，就在窗户外种下了它。

Svea and I planted it outside our window when we moved in.

而且一整年，不管什么季节

And all year round No matter the season

它都会开花结果。

It blossoms and bears fruit.

洁白的花朵和金黄的梨子会散发出明亮的光芒。

The bright white flowers and golden yellow pears give off this brilliant light.

所以我们的小屋就像一直有阳光照着一样。

So it's like the sun is always shining in our hut.

难怪你们叫它阳光树。

And that's why you call it the sunlight tree.

对。

Mhmm.

来吧，拉尔斯。

Now, come along Lars.

我们还得去村里分更多鞋子。

We have more pairs to give

分给村里的村民。

away in the village.

别忘了，

Remember,

他们还不知道我会说话。

they don't know I can talk.

叫一声。

Call.

叫一声。

Call.

叫一声。

Call.

关于塞尔玛和斯维亚的小屋，还有她们那棵树，你得知道一件事：这两样东西其实并不属于塞尔玛和斯维亚。

Now, something you should know about Selma and Svea's hut and Selma and Svea's tree tree is that neither actually belonged to Selma and Svea.

这对姐妹只是租住在一处大庄园里。

The sisters were tenants or renters on a grand estate.

庄园的主人最近刚去世。

The woman who owned the estate had recently passed away.

她把所有财产都留给了儿子威廉，包括山脚下那座宏伟的宅邸，以及周围所有的土地，连这座山本身也在内。

She left everything to her son, Wilhelm, including a massive mansion at the bottom of the hill and all the land surrounding it, including the hill itself.

威廉对母亲以前的租客一点兴趣都没有，根本没搭理他们。

Wilhelm wasn't interested in hobnobbing with his mother's old tenants, so he paid them no attention.

但当他听说山上有一棵神秘的梨树时，好奇心一下子被勾了起来。

But as he heard talk of this mysterious pear tree up the hill, his curiosity peaked.

一棵梨树真能全年开花结果，还像太阳一样发光吗？

Could a pear tree really blossom and bear fruit all year long and give off a glow like the sun?

只有一个办法能弄清楚。

There's only one way to find out.

他跳上马，骑着上了山。

He jumped on his horse and trotted up the hill.

一看到那棵‘阳光树’，他差点从马背上摔下来。

When he laid eyes on the sunlight tree, he nearly fell out of his saddle.

天哪，果然是真的。

Jumping Jehoshaphat, it is true.

这棵树上挂满了果实，小屋里面也洒满了阳光。

The tree is covered with fruit and the hut is filled with sunshine.

确实如此，先生。

Indeed, it is, sir.

一整年都是这样。

Every day of the year.

威廉瞥了一眼那棵树，看见两个女人头上有一只深色胖乎乎的鸟在盘旋。

Wilhelm glanced past the tree and saw two women with a dark stocky bird fluttering above their heads.

你一定是威廉。

You must be Wilhelm.

我是塞尔玛。

I am Selma

我是斯维亚，这位是拉尔斯。

and I am Svea and this is Lars.

叫一声。

Call.

你专程来看我们，真是太客气了。

It's kind of you to pay us a visit.

你妈妈以前常来，但我们从来没在山上见过你。

Your mother used to come by all the time, but we've never seen you on our hill before.

对不起。

I'm sorry.

我们的山？

Our hill?

威廉的嘴角扬起一丝冷笑。

Wilhelm's lips curled into a sneer.

这是我的山。

This is my hill.

既然我现在拥有这片庄园，这座山就是我的。

Since I own the estate now, this hill is mine.

这间小屋也是我的。

This hut is mine.

那你知道还有什么也是我的吗？

So do you know what else is mine?

他伸手摘下了一颗挂在枝头的梨。

He reached up and grabbed a pear off a branch.

这棵树也是我的。

This tree is mine.

所以我打算把它移走。

That's why I am going to take it.

我会让园丁把它连根挖起，运下山，再种在我窗户外。

I shall have my gardeners dig it up, bring it down the hill, then plant it outside my window.

我那座豪宅里面实在太暗了。

It's awfully dark inside my mansion.

这座山投下的阴影实在太阴沉了。

The hill cast the most dismal shadow.

但只要这棵树种在我窗户外，整栋房子都会像阳光一样明亮。

But with this tree outside my window, my entire abode will sparkle like the sun.

姐妹俩交换了一个担忧的眼神。

The sisters traded a worried glance.

威廉先生，恕我直言，如果您把这棵树连根拔起，它

Mister Wilhelm, with all due respect, if you pull this tree from the soil, it

会死的。

will die.

那为什么不剪一段枝条，改种那个呢？

Oh, why not take a clipping and plant that instead?

枝条？

A clipping?

我才不要什么破枝条。

I don't want a lousy clipping.

我要整棵树。

I want the whole tree.

这棵树本就该归我。

I deserve the whole tree.

那要不我们剪一段枝条，

Then how about if we take a clipping,

就当留个纪念，行吗？

please, to keep us a memento?

威廉以为这样能让姐妹俩和她们烦人的鸟安静下来，就答应了。

Figuring it would get the sisters and their pesky bird off his back, Wilhelm agreed.

姐妹俩拿走了枝条，当天下午，一队园丁扛着铁锹和铲子爬上山，把整棵树连根挖起，用马车运了回来。

The sisters took their clipping, and later that day, a brigade of gardeners armed with shovels and spades trekked up the hill, dug up the tree, and carted it back down on a wagon.

威廉的宅邸里房间错综复杂，一个比一个宏伟。

Wilhelm's mansion was a maze of rooms, each one grander than the next.

他让园丁把树种在大厅外——那是个宽敞的舞厅，挂着青铜吊灯，还有巨大的拱形窗户，本该让阳光洒满整个空间，可惜被对面的山影挡住了。

He had the gardeners plant the tree outside the great hall, a spacious ballroom with bronze chandeliers and giant arched windows that should have filled the space with natural light, if not for the shadow casting hill.

不过，现在我的新阳光树长在外面，整个地方都会被照亮。

However, with my new sunlight tree growing outside, this all will be blazing with light.

那将是奇迹般的、令人屏息的光芒。

Miraculous, breathtaking light.

威廉命令园丁们一定要悉心照料这棵树。

Wilhelm ordered his gardeners to treat the tree with the utmost of care.

所以你可以想象，几天后当树上的花朵枯萎凋落时，他有多失望。

Thus, you can imagine his dismay when within a matter of days, the tree's blossoms withered and fell.

真该死。

Dag on it.

没过多久，树上的梨子也干瘪掉落了。

Shortly after that, its pears shriveled and dropped.

见鬼。

Dagnabbit.

接下来，威廉就知道，那棵曾经光彩夺目的树已经光秃秃、枯褐色了。

So next thing, Wilhelm knew, the once resplendent tree was bare and brown.

该死透顶，这棵阳光树死了。

Drat and Darnation, the sunlight tree is dead.

死了。

Dead.

别介意啊，老兄，这事儿你早该料到的。

No offense, buddy, but you should have seen this coming.

威廉抬起头来。

Wilhelm glanced up.

一只椋鸟停在那棵死树的枝干上，就是山上那只。

Perched on one of the tree's lifeless branches was the starling from up the hill.

首先，那对烦人的姐妹有棵魔法树。

So first, those vexing sisters have a magic tree.

现在她们又多了一只会说话的鸟，而且还特别没礼貌。

Now they have a talking bird and an awfully rude one at that.

你管好自己行不行，笨鸟？

Why don't you mind your own business, bird brain?

现在倒好，谁在没礼貌了？

Look who's being rude now.

我就是实话实说而已，兄弟。

I'm just speaking the truth, man.

早就有人提醒过你别去挖那棵阳光树，可你压根没听。

Someone's warned you not to dig up the sunlight tree and you didn't listen.

不过也许我不该这么苛刻。

But maybe I shouldn't be so harsh.

毕竟，多亏了你，我们现在有了一棵全新的阳光树。

After all, thanks to you, we have a whole new sunlight tree.

你看。

Look.

拉尔斯展开翅膀指向那片树林，阳光透过枝叶洒落下来，是威廉姆斯这辈子见过最耀眼的光。

Lars extended a wing toward the wooded hill, filtering through the trees was the most radiant light Wilhelm had ever seen.

所罗门·塞维利亚种下的那截枝条，你一走开，它就长成了一棵树。

Solomon Sevilla planted that cutting, you left them and just like that it sprouted into a tree.

一棵又高大又漂亮的树，比原来的还要亮。

A great big beautiful tree, even brighter than the first.

你反倒说我脑子有病？

And you're calling me a bird brain?

那只笑个不停的鸟展开翅膀，飞上了山坡，一路嘎嘎大笑。

The laughing bird spread his wings and soared up the hill, cackling all the while.

威廉姆斯一点都不高兴。

Wilhelm was not pleased.

你笑吧，你这个笨鸟。

Go ahead, you bird brain laugh.

你尽管笑吧，我告诉你，我迟早要报仇。

Laugh all you want because trust me, I will get my revenge.

等那一天来了，你就知道谁才是最后笑的人。

And when I do, you'll see the last laugh will be mine.

接下来威廉会怎么做？

What will Wilhelm do next?

他会如愿以偿地报复吗？

Will he get the revenge he seeks?

稍后我们再揭晓接下来会发生什么。

We'll find out what happens after a quick break.

一百年后，在一个遥远的地方，等等。

100 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.

我是丽贝卡·谢尔。

I'm Rebecca Scheer.

欢迎回到波士顿交响大厅的《Circle Round》现场直播。

Welcome back to Circle Round live at Symphony Hall in Boston, Massachusetts.

今天我们要讲的故事叫《阳光之树》。

Today, our story is called the sunlight tree.

在广告之前，塞尔玛、斯维亚和她们的宠物星椋鸟拉尔斯

Before the break, Selma, Svea, and their pet, starling Lars

我就是拉尔斯。

That's me, Lars.

没错。

Yes,

是的。

it is.

故事的后半段刚刚开始。

And the second half of the story just started.

那你在正式出场前，先稍微休息一下吧？

So do you mind taking a little break until you officially enter the scene?

我什么时候上场？

How soon do I enter?

等等啊。

Oh, hang on.

其实你是在这一页的底部才出场。

Oh, actually, you enter toward the bottom of this page.

你再等一下。

So hold on just a sec.

刚才我说到，中断前，塞尔玛、斯维亚和拉尔斯依依不舍地跟阳光树告别了。

Now, as I was saying, before the break, Selma, Svea, and Lars bid a sad farewell to the sunlight tree.

他们的房东威廉把这棵树移植到了山脚下，好让它的光芒照进他那阴暗的宅邸。

Their landlord, Wilhelm, transplanted the tree to the bottom of the hill so it could shine its light into his dark, shadowy mansion.

但搬走没几天，树就死了。

But within days of being moved, the tree died.

于是威廉只好启动B计划。

So Wilhelm turned to plan B.

接下来，姐妹们发现，那个贪婪的地产商正得意洋洋地骑着马冲上这片树林覆盖的小山，身后还跟着一队建筑工人。

And next thing the sisters knew, the greedy estate owner was galloping up the wooded hill with a smug look on his face and a team of builders at his rear.

塞尔曼的维，真没想到能在这山顶遇见你，毕竟你都不住这儿了。

Selman's vey, fancy seeing you atop this hill, given that you don't live here anymore.

姐妹们感到十分困惑。

The sisters were confused.

这是怎么回事

What do

你的意思是，我们不再住这儿了？

you mean we don't live here anymore?

这里才是我们的家。

This is our home.

这里不再是你的家了，因为我要把你赶走。

It's not your home anymore because I am evicting you.

我要把你赶出去。

I'm kicking you out.

但你为什么要赶我们走？

But why would you evict us?

我们一直按时交房租。

We've been paying our rent.

这跟房租没关系。

This isn't about rent.

这跟土地有关。

It's about soil.

我在我家大宅下面的山坡上重新种了一棵阳光树，结果它死了。

You see, when I replanted the sunlight tree outside my mansion at the bottom of this hill, it died.

天哪。

Oh, no.

哎呀，明白了。

Oh, Duh.

而你们种的那棵阳光树却长得很好。

Meanwhile, your new sunlight tree is thriving.

你看看它。

Just look at it.

亮得我都晒黑了。

It's so bright, I'm getting a tan.

确实长得很好。

Well, it's definitely flourishing.

而且长得特别快。

And it grew so quickly.

没错。

Exactly.

很明显，这座山顶部的土壤比底部更适合阳光树生长。

Clearly, the soil at the top of this hill is more suitable for a sunlight tree than the soil at the bottom.

所以我决定搬上来住。

Therefore, I shall move up here.

什么？

What?

卡尔？

Carl?

我已经命令我的工匠们拆掉小屋，改建成一座城堡——一座辉煌的宫殿，透过它的窗户，这棵新长出的阳光树将熠熠生辉，照亮每一面镀金的墙壁、大理石地板和珍贵的艺术品。

I have ordered my builders to tear down the hut and replace it with a castle, a glorious palace through whose windows this new sunlight tree will glow and shine, lighting up every gilded wall, marble floor, and priceless work of art.

姐妹俩忍不住流下了眼泪。

The sisters felt tears spring to their eyes.

求求您，威廉先生。

Oh, please, mister Wilhelm.

别把我们赶走。

Don't kick us out.

我们可以把租金翻倍。

You can double our rent.

翻三倍也行。

Triple it.

只求别让我们离开这间小屋。

Just don't part us from our hut.

或者我们心爱的树。

Or our beloved tree.

威廉叹了口气。

Vilhelm groaned.

我得跟你们说多少遍，那不是你们的小屋？

How many times do I have to tell you it is not your hut?

那也不是你们的树。

It is not your tree.

这座山上的所有东西都归我所有，包括这座山本身。

Everything on this hill belongs to me, including the hill itself.

赶紧走吧，不然我就叫警察来抓你们。

So be gone, lest I send for the constable and have you arrested.

姐妹俩悲伤地望着那间小屋。

The sisters gazed sadly at the hut.

然后，她们又悲伤地对视了一眼。

Then they gazed sadly at each other.

然后，她们一言不发，走到那棵阳光树下，张开双臂紧紧抱住树干，给了它一个温柔的拥抱。

Then without a word, they went to the sunlight tree, wrapped their arms around its trunk, and gave it a loving squeeze.

哦，现在还学会抱树了是吧。

Oh, so we're tree hugging now.

真是够煽情的。

Talk about melodramatic.

不就是一棵树嘛。

It's just a tree.

你们挺得住的。

You'll survive.

赶紧走吧。

Now get out of here.

我还要建城堡呢。

I have a castle to build.

后来，塞玛和斯维亚被赶走的消息传遍了全村，大家都主动过来帮忙。

Well, when the unfortunate news of Selma and Svea's evictions spread through the village, everyone stepped forward to help.

村里的农夫主动提供了一块草地上的土地。

The village farmer offered a plot of land in his meadow.

木匠捐出了建造小屋所需的材料。

The carpenter donated materials for a new hut.

其他邻居也纷纷送来衣服、食物和家具。

Other neighbors came through with clothing, food, and furniture.

与此同时，在树林覆盖的小山上，威廉的团队正忙着建造他的城堡。

Meanwhile, atop the wooded hill, Wilhelm's team was hard at work on his castle.

城堡一完工，他就决定举办一场盛大的舞会。

When it was finished, he decided to throw a lavish ball.

他邀请了多位贵族和乡绅，他们纷纷盛装前来，迫不及待想一睹那棵阳光树。

He invited high ranking members of the nobility and gentry who came flocking up the hill, dressed to the nines and eager to see the sunlight tree.

各位，你们信吗？

You believe it folks?

你们见过这样的奇观吗？

Have you ever beheld such a marvel?

这么神奇的事？

Such a miracle?

我敢说你们从来没见过。

I dare say you haven't.

威廉很享受宾客们震惊的表情。

Wilhelm relished his guests awestruck expressions.

很明显，他们都特别震撼。

Clearly, they were very impressed.

但突然间，他们脸上的表情变了。

But then, all of a sudden, the expressions on their faces changed.

一个接一个，笑容消失了，眉头紧锁，下唇开始颤抖。

One by one smiles vanished, brows furrowed and lower lips began to quiver and shake.

各位，出什么事了？

What's going on folks?

你们看起来很不安。

You seem distressed.

威廉顺着客人们的目光看去，这才发现自己的笑容消失了，眉头紧锁，下唇也开始颤抖。

Wilhelm followed his guests gazes and that's when his smile vanished, his brow furrowed and his lower lip began to quiver and shake.

你知道这是为什么吗？

And do you know why?

威廉把城堡建在了这片树林覆盖的小山上，对吧？

Well, Wilhelm had built his castle atop the wooded hill, right?

所以四周全是各种各样的树——枫树、松树、橡树。

So it was surrounded by all kinds of trees, maples, pines, oaks.

就在他和客人们的眼前，每一棵枫树、松树和橡树都缓缓抬起枝条，向两侧伸展，仿佛每棵树都长出了巨大的翅膀。

And before his and his guests very eyes, every single one of those maples, pines, and oaks gathered up its branches and stretched them to either side as if each tree had sprouted two mighty wings.

那棵阳光树也是一样。

The sunlight tree did the same.

更不可思议的是，这些枝叶繁茂的翅膀开始拍动起来。

And then wouldn't you know it, all of those mighty, leafy wings began to flap.

一下，又一下，越拍越快，越来越有力，直到每一棵树都挣脱了土地，飞上了天空。

They flapped and they flapped, picking up momentum and speed until every tree broke free from the earth and lifted into the air.

干得漂亮，各位。

Nicely done, friends.

第一次飞就能这样，不错了。

Not bad for your first flight.

威廉抬起头，发现那只烦人的八哥正悬在树前，像是在领着一支军队。

Wilhelm looked up, and there was that pesky starling hovering in front of the trees as if leading an army.

好了，各位。

Alright, friends.

现在，向前飞。

Now forward.

飞吧。

Fly.

拉尔斯低下头，开始俯冲盘旋。

Lars lowered his head and began to swoop and dive.

树木们也跟着行动起来，划出一道道巨大的弧线。

The trees followed suit, whizzing around in great loops and arcs.

它们越来越靠近城堡，密密麻麻地挤在窗户和墙面上，最后整座城堡一片漆黑。

They moved closer and closer to the castle, crowding over the windows and walls until the entire place went dark.

派对的客人们惊慌失措，你推我搡，拼命想找条出路。

The party guests panicked, stumbling all over each other as they scrambled for a way out.

等等，别走。

Wait, don't leave.

留下来。

Stay.

但谁也不想留下来。

But staying was the last thing anyone wished to do.

他们朝门口冲去的时候，你知道发生了什么吗？

And as they bolted for the door, do you know what happened?

那些树突然一起抬高，让出了一条通道，所有人都顺利逃了出去。

The trees lifted away all at once, clearing the way so that everyone could get out.

威廉想跟着逃出去，可还没到门口，树又猛地合拢，把他困在了阴影里。

Wilhelm tried to follow, but before he reached the exit, the trees crowded back in again and he was trapped in the shadows.

我到底做了什么？

What have I done?

我到底做了什么？

What have I done?

你搞出个大乱子了。

You've made a big old mess.

你就是干了这档子事。

That's what you've done.

威廉抬头望去，只见一只椋鸟在黑暗中盘旋飞翔。

Vilhelm gazed upwards and there flying in circles in the dark was the starling.

你本可以不管塞尔曼之幕的。

You could have left Selman's Veil alone.

你本可以让他们安安静静地享受那棵阳光树的。

You could have left them to enjoy their sunlight tree.

可你偏偏只想着占为己有，全是我的，全是我的。

Instead, you all mine, mine, mine.

我，我，我。

Me, me, me.

也许下次，你就别这么蠢了。

Maybe next time, you won't be such a bird brain.

拉尔斯飞到窗边，轻轻敲了敲。

Lars fluttered to the window and gave it a tap.

就这样，树木们退开了。

And just like that, the trees backed away.

它们飘向空中，缓缓滑回山坡上原来的位置。

They floated into the air and glided back to their original spots on the hill.

然后重新扎根，挺立如初，骄傲而坚定。

Then they settled back down, dug in their roots, and stood tall and proud just like before.

但有一棵树，并没有回到原来的地方。

But one tree did not return to its original place.

猜猜是哪一棵？

Any guess which one?

没人知道吗？

Anyone?

答对了。

You've got it.

是那棵阳光树。

The sunlight tree.

它越升越高，飘离了这片树林所在的山坡。

It lifted up into the air higher and higher before gliding away from the wooded hill.

那棵树缓缓飘浮着。

The tree drifted and floated.

当它飞到塞玛和斯维亚的新小屋上空时，便缓缓降下，把根扎进了泥土里。

And when it reached Selma and Svea's new hut, it lowered down to earth and plunged its roots into the soil.

从此它就站在那里，回到了属于它的主人身边，为他们的家和心灵带来光明。

And there it stood, back with its kind and rightful owners, filling their home and their hearts with light.

现在轮到你了。

Now it's your turn.

如果你能拥有一棵会产出魔法东西的树，你希望它长出什么？

If you could have a tree that produced something magical, what would it be?

也许它的枝头总是挂满冰淇淋圣代，或者叶子全是图画书。

Maybe its branches would always be bursting with ice cream cones, or its leaves would be made from picture books.

找张纸，画出你心中的这棵树。

Find some paper and draw a picture of your tree.

把它分享给家人或朋友。

Share it with a family member or friend.

如果愿意，也可以分享给我们。

And then if you like, share it with us.
