我们当中的一员。

One of us.

很久以前，有一个快乐的小森林。

Once upon a time, there was a happy little forest.

从最高大的橡树到最瘦小的枫树，所有的树都和谐地生活在一起。

All the trees from the mightiest oak to the skinniest maple lived together in harmony.

森林里一片宁静，只有风拂过树叶的沙沙声，还有鸟儿在枝头跳跃时清脆悦耳的鸣叫。

All was quiet in the forest except for the pleasant rustle of leaves in the wind and the bright, thrilling call of the birds that flitted from limb to limb.

直到有一天，一群人类搬到了附近。

Until, one day, a group of humans moved nearby.

起初，他们保持距离，忙着做各种稀奇古怪的事。

At first, they kept their distance, busying themselves with all kinds of strange chores.

他们从河里打水喝，而不是像树根那样直接从地里吸水。

They'd fetch water from the river instead of drinking it out of the ground with roots.

他们吃水果蔬菜，而不是光靠晒太阳就能活。

They'd eat fruits and vegetables instead of just using the sun's light.

他们甚至还想往森林里头溜，这可把树们吓坏了。

They'd even try to wander into the forest, which the trees were very worried about.

所有橡树、榆树、枫树、桤树、松树全都聚在一起，开了场盛大的树族大会。

They all got together, all the oaks and elms and maples and alders and pines, and they had a great meeting of the trees.

经过一番嘟囔争吵、树叶沙沙作响、树枝嘎吱作响，树们最终决定：为了阻止人类入侵，就放一个人进森林。

After much grumbly arguing and rustling of leaves and creaking of branches, the trees decided that to keep the humans from invading, they would let one person into their forest.

只能放一个，就一个。

One and only one.

树们用风中树叶的低语把决定告诉了人类，人类一听，全都兴奋起来了。

The trees told their decision to the humans as a whisper of leaves on the wind, and all of the humans were very excited.

所有人——大人小孩、男的女的——全聚到一块儿，开了个热闹的会。

They all got together, all the women and men and kids and babies, and they had a great meeting.

经过一番吵吵嚷嚷、手舞足蹈、跺脚踢地，人类选出了三个人选，来争取树们这难得的恩赐。

After much grumbly arguing and waving of arms and stomping of feet, the humans decided on three possible people to take advantage of the tree's generous offer.

这三个人都得亲自走进森林，让树们最后拍板决定。

Each would present themselves to the forest, and the trees would make the final decision.

第一个是个聪明人，他发明了一种从树里取汁液的装置。

The first was a clever man who had invented a device to get the sap out of trees.

他往树上钉个小管子，挂个桶，汁液就慢慢滴进去，变成香甜的糖浆。

He would hammer in a little tap and hang a bucket and it would slowly fill with delicious syrup.

这法子对好多树都管用，但最棒的还是枫树。

It worked on many of the trees, but maple was the best of them all.

第二个是个超棒的烘焙师，专做甜点。

The second was a wonderful baker who specialized in desserts.

她现在能做的东西还很有限，但大家都心知肚明，只要让她进森林，她准能做出前所未有的美味。

Currently, her selection was pretty limited, but the humans knew that if she had access to the trees, she could make new and amazing concoctions.

一想到苹果派、桃子酥、枫糖卷，大家口水都快流下来了。

They thought of apple pies and peach cobblers and maple rolls and their mouths watered.

第三个是个拿着又长又亮的斧头的伐木工。

The third was a woodcutter with a long and gleaming axe.

他向大家保证，只要给他进森林的资格，他就能把树全砍了，把木材拿回来。

He promised the humans that if he was given access to the forest, he could chop down the trees for their wood.

人类可以用这些木头盖更大的房子，做更好的东西。

Wood the humans could use to make bigger homes and better goods.

树们可就遭殃了，不过人类压根没想那么多。

It wouldn't work out well for the trees, but the humans didn't really think about that.

人类选好这三个人之后，树们就请第一个进入森林。

Once the humans had their three candidates, the trees invited the first to enter the forest.

那个采枫树汁的人走到森林边，手里紧紧攥着他的发明，手都在发抖。

The maple tapper walked up to the forest, his invention held tightly in one trembling hand.

密密麻麻的树干和枝条挡住了通往森林深处的路。

A dense crisscross of trunks and branches blocked the path into the heart of the woods.

停下，人类，树们说。

Stop, human, said the trees.

凭什么让你进我们的森林？

Why should you be the one who was allowed into our forest?

采枫树汁的人紧张地环顾四周，舔了舔嘴唇，浑身直打哆嗦。

The maple tapper looked around nervously, licking his lips, his entire body shaking.

我、我就想取一点点你们的树汁做糖浆，”他说道。

I, I only want a bit of your sap for syrup, he said.

真的一点都不会伤到你们，我们就拿一点点树汁而已。

It, it won't hurt you at all, and, we'll just take a bit of sap.

树们低声嘀咕着，满心不乐意。

The trees muttered and grumbled.

听上去像有什么东西在灌木丛里横冲直撞。

It sounded like a creature crashing through the brush.

凭什么我们要把糖浆分给你们？

Why should we share our syrup with you?

就一点点，真的就一点点。

It was just a it was just a little.

我们一定会非常感激的。

We would be really grateful.

作为回报，我会帮你们赶走白蚁和啄木鸟，还保证小树苗都有足够的水。

To make up for it, I'd keep the termites and woodpeckers off of your trunks and make sure your saplings, got plenty of water.

我们凭什么相信你？

How can we trust you?

哦，你们看这个取液嘴，他边说边举着自己发明的工具。

Oh, you can see the tap right here, he said, holding up his invention.

切。

Bah.

这玩意儿是火和金属凑出来的丑东西。

A hideous thing of fire and metal.

这东西不该在这，你也不配待在这儿，大树们怒吼道，话音刚落，树林就跟着雷声震颤起来。

It doesn't belong here and neither do you, the trees roared, and the forest shook with thunder.

滚出去。

Begone.

发明家赶紧攥紧自己的取液龙头，头也不回地逃出了森林。

The inventor clutched his tap and fled from the forest.

接下来我们先插一段短小的广告。

Now for a quick ad break.

广告结束后，我们继续讲剩下的故事。

We'll be back with the rest of the story after this.

等树们的怒吼平息下来后，它们叫来了下一个前来辩解的人类。

After allowing time for their bark to settle, the trees called the next human to come and make their case.

面包师走进了森林，脸上挂着灿烂的笑容。

The baker walked into the forest, a wide smile on her wide face.

她身上散发着肉桂、丁香、香甜黄油和蜂蜜混合的香气。

She smelled of cinnamon and cloves and sweet butter all mixed with honey.

和对待枫树汁采集者一样，密密麻麻的树干和枝条挡住了通往森林深处的路。

As it had with the maple tapper, a dense crisscross of trunks and branches blocked the path into the heart of the woods.

停下，人类，树们说。

Stop, human, said the trees.

你凭什么有资格进入我们的森林？

Why should you be the one who is allowed into our forest?

你好啊，她说道。

Hello there, she said.

我想摘点你们的果子来做甜点。

I'd like to gather some of your fruit for my desserts.

我可以做派、蛋糕和馅饼，当然啦，我都会分给大家一起吃。

I'd make pies and cakes and turnovers, and I'd always share them with y'all, of course.

你们要分给我们？

You share with us?

我们可不需要你们人类的食物。

We have no use for human food.

该问的是，我们凭什么要分给你们。

The better question is why we should share with you.

哎呀，你们要是肯分一点，那可真是太好了，你说是不是？

Well, it would be awfully nice of y'all, don't you think?

反正你们自己也用不上这些果子。

You're not really using the fruit anyway.

而且要是你们给我水果，我一定会帮你们保持健康。

And if you were giving me fruit, I'd be sure to help keep you healthy.

我可以帮你们赶走害虫，风暴后绑好断掉的树枝，你们需要啥我都行。

I could keep away the pests and bind broken branches after storms and whatever else y'all needed.

不拿你们的水果？

Not using the fruit?

我们的果子是有种子的。

Our fruit has seeds.

那你们怎么让森林扩散、生长呢？

How would we spread and grow our forest?

就像我说的，我就拿一点点水果，换你们一点帮助，这不挺公平？

Well, like I said, I'd just take a little fruit, and I'd help you out in exchange.

我觉得这买卖挺划算的。

I think it would be a good deal.

呸。

Bah.

你偷走我们的未来。

You steal our future.

你这是在延长我们的命运。

You'd prolong our destiny.

不，人类。

No, human.

种子该留在森林里，不像你——树木怒吼，整片森林雷声震颤。

The seeds belong in the forest unlike yourself, the trees roared, and the forest shook with thunder.

滚吧。

Begone.

等树枝平静下来后，树木又叫了下一个前来陈述理由的人类。

After allowing time for their branches to calm, the trees called the next human to come and make their case.

伐木工慢悠悠地走进了森林。

The woodcutter sauntered into the forest.

他留着一脸浓密的胡子，遮住了那抹狡黠的笑，眼睛里闪着淘气的光。

He had a great beard that hid a crooked smile, and his eyes seemed to flash with laughter.

他挺直了肩膀，站得像周围的参天大树一样稳当。

He held his shoulders tall and square, and he seemed as solid as the trees that towered all around him.

和之前对付糖枫采集者和面包师一样，密密麻麻的树干和枝条挡住了通往森林深处的路。

As it had with the maple tapper and the baker, a dense crisscross of trunks and branches blocked the path into the heart of the woods.

再往前一步都不行，人类，”树木们说。

Not another step, human, said the trees.

你凭什么有资格走进我们的森林？

Why should you be the one who is allowed to enter into our forest?

嘿，我跟你们简直是一家人，”樵夫说。

Why, I'm practically one of you, said the woodcutter.

这话让树木们懵了。

This confused the trees.

它们嘀嘀咕咕，树叶哗啦啦抖落，慢悠悠地飘到地上。

They groused and grumbled, leaves shaking down and seesawing lazily to the forest floor.

说清楚点。

Explain yourself.

在我们眼里，你就是个人类而已。

We only see a human.

伐木工咧嘴一笑，朝自己身后竖起大拇指——他的斧头木柄就背在那儿。

With a wide grin, the woodcutter pointed his thumb over his back, where the wooden handle of his axe was slung.

他早知道树木都抵触金属，所以机灵地把斧刃藏在了皮套里。

Knowing trees hated metal, he wisely kept the blade of the axe hidden in a leather sheath.

你们看。

Look.

树木们惊奇地说，他说的居然是真的。

He speaks truly, the trees said with wonder.

你手里这把斧柄用上好的木料做的，保养得还不错。

The handle there is good tree wood, and it looks well cared for.

那当然啦，樵夫笑着说道，笑容里满是让人放下戒心的诚恳。

Of course, said the woodcutter with a wide disarming smile.

我每天晚上都精心打理它，会给木头抹上油，让它一直保持结实完好的状态。

I care for it nightly, rubbing the wood with oils to keep it well preserved and healthy.

树木们对这个回答印象深刻。

The trees were well impressed by this answer.

这手柄就是我们的一员，它们说。

The handle is one of us, they said.

风把这话吹遍了整片森林。

And the wind took their words and spread it all through the forest.

于是，伐木工从四面八方、上百个声音里，听了一百遍同样的说法。

So the woodsman heard it a 100 times from a 100 directions from a 100 voices.

挡在通往森林深处路上的密密麻麻的树干和枝条，开始颤抖摇晃。

The dense crisscross of trunks and branches that blocked the path into the heart of the woods began to shiver and shake.

接着，就在伐木工眼前，它们缓缓分开，为他让出了一条通往森林核心的路。

Then as the woodcutter watched, they pulled aside and opened a path into the heart of the forest.

谢谢你们的欢迎，伐木工说。

Thanks for the welcome, said the woodcutter.

可还没等树木反应过来，他就抡起斧头，噼里啪啦地砍了起来，橡树、枫树、榆树，一个都没放过。

And then before the trees knew what was happening, the woodcutter limbered his axe and began to lay about them, cutting down oak, maple, and elm all alike.

伐木工和他的斧头在森林里劈出了一条宽阔的路，没过多久，树们就没力气再拦住别人了。

The woodcutter and his axe cleared a wide path through the forest, and before long, the trees didn't have strength enough to keep others out.

更多人来了，更多斧头也来了，很快，曾经那片欢快的小森林，变成了大片裸露的土地和高高的木屋，全都是用木材盖的。

More men came, more axes came, and soon where the happy little forest once stood, there were big patches of cleared earth and tall human homes, all made of wood.

剩下的树们聚在一起，离开了。

The remaining trees came together and moved on.

他们把种子交给风，飘过大地，重新生根发芽。

They put their seeds to the wind and traveled across the land, growing anew.

他们狠狠地记住了这个教训。

They had learned this lesson and learned it hard.

光看外表，可是会吃大亏的。

It's dangerous to judge by looks alone.

他们用沉重的语气告诉小树苗们：人类脸上装得再和善都没用，关键看他们心里到底装的是什么。

In solemn voices, they told their sprouts and saplings that it wasn't what humans showed on their faces, but what they carried in their hearts that mattered.

于是，其他的树、其他的森林，也都从他们的错误中学到了教训。

And so other trees, other forests learned from their mistakes.

下次人类再来时，他们欢迎了采蜜人、面包师、徒步者、画家、登山者、护林员，还有那些老派的摄影师，但唯独不许砍树的人进来。

And the next time humans came, they let in the tappers, the bakers, the hikers, and the painters, the climbers, the rangers, and the old picture takers, but never ever the woodcutters.

故事讲完了。

The end.
