《冰雪奇缘》第14章

分类: 影视英语 

Anna cautiously entered Elsa's palace. She found herself in a huge room with an impressive winding staircase leading to a second floor. The palace was gorgeous, but it was absolutely still and eerily quiet. "Elsa?" Anna called nervously. "It's me, Anna."

"Anna," Elsa replied. Anna followed the sound of her sister's voice and saw her at the top of the staircase. She was surprised by Elsa's new appearance.

"Elsa, you look beautiful," she said. "And this place is amazing."

Elsa smiled. "Thank you. I never knew what I was capable of."

Anna started up the stairs. "I'm sorry about what happened. If I'd known..."

"No, it's okay," said Elsa, backing away. "You don't have to apologize. But you should probably go, please."

Anna was startled. "But I just got here."

"You belong in Arendelle," Elsa explained. "I belong here. Alone. Where I can be who I am without hurting anybody."

"Actually, about that — " Anna began. But Olaf ran in, interrupting her. The minute was up, and he couldn't wait another second.

"Wait," said Elsa, wide-eyed. "What is that?"

Olaf ran up the staircase. "Hi, I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs," he said. Suddenly, the little snowman felt shy. "You built me," he told Elsa. "You remember that?"

Elsa stared at him. "And you're alive?" she asked in wonder. She looked at her hands, amazed at her own power.

"I think so," Olaf replied.

"He's just like the one we built as kids," Anna said. "We were so close. We can be like that again."

More than anything, Elsa wanted that to be true. But the white streak in Anna's hair was a constant reminder of that night long ago when she hit Anna with her dangerous powers.

Elsa turned and headed back upstairs. "No, we can't," she said. "Goodbye, Anna."

"Elsa, wait!" Anna said. "Please don't shut me out again."

Anna ran to the upper floor and tried to reason with her sister. Now that Elsa's secret was out, Anna thought they could be happy together for the first time in forever.

But it wasn't that simple for Elsa. She was sure no one in Arendelle would ever accept her again. She couldn't hide her powers anymore — and she didn't want to! What if she injured someone? What if she hurt Anna? Elsa felt that if she could just keep to herself, no one would be hurt by her magic. But there was something Elsa didn't know.

"You kind of set off an eternal winter everywhere," Anna said.

"Everywhere?" said Elsa, shaken by the news. Anna wanted to be encouraging. "It's okay, you can just unfreeze it."

Elsa looked away. "No, I can't. I don't know how," she admitted.

Anna wasn't worried. "Sure, you can. I know you can." Anna ran to her sister. She was sure they could work it out.

For her part, Elsa was having trouble keeping her emotions under control. The news that she had accidentally put Arendelle into a deep freeze was very hard to bear. Maybe she was the monster that people thought she was. The walls of the palace started to ice over. Elsa wanted to get away from Anna. She backed farther up the stairs, and the banister frosted over as she passed.

But Anna kept pressing Elsa. "Everything will be all right," she insisted.

Elsa was torn. She did want to go home, she did want everything to be fine, but it just wasn't possible! Frustrated and upset, she exclaimed, "I can't!"

With those words, Elsa's bottled-up emotions rose to the surface. A wave of icy magic was released from her body, and it struck Anna right in the chest! Anna fell backward as Elsa gasped.

Olaf ran to Anna and helped her stand up. Kristoff entered the room and ran to Anna, as well.

"I'm okay," she said bravely. "I'm fine."

"I told you to stay away!" said Elsa in horror.

"No, I'm not giving up," Anna said. "I know we can figure this out together."

"How?" Elsa shouted. "What power do you have to stop this winter? To stop me?"

"I don't know," Anna said, tears welling up in her eyes. "But I'm not leaving without you!"

Heartbroken, Elsa looked at her sister. "Yes," she said. "You are." She waved a hand, and magic shimmered in the air. Suddenly, a giant snowman rose from the floor, conjured by her powers. The snowman grew and grew, until he towered over Anna and her friends.

"You made me a little brother!" Olaf exclaimed happily. He turned to the huge creature. "I'm going to name you Marshmallow!"

安娜小心翼翼地走进艾莎的宫殿。她不知不觉地进了一个巨大的房间里,还有一座壮观的旋转楼梯通向二楼。宫殿非常华丽,但一片沉寂,安静得让人害怕。“艾莎?”安娜紧张地呼喊,“是我,安娜。”

“安娜。”艾莎回答道。安娜循声望去,看到姐姐正站在二楼。她被艾莎的新装扮惊呆了。

“艾莎,你看上去美极了,”她说,“这个地方真是太棒了。”

艾莎微笑着说:“谢谢。我也没想到自己有这么大本事。”

安娜一边走上台阶一边说:“我为发生的这些事道歉,如果我知道……”

“不,没关系,”艾莎连忙后退着说,“你用不着道歉,不过你该走了,快走吧。”

安娜很惊讶,说道:“可我才刚到这儿啊。”

“你属于艾伦戴尔王国,”艾莎解释道,“而我属于这儿,一个人。在这里我可以做自己,又不会伤害到别人。”

“其实关于这个……”还没等安娜说完,雪宝就进来打断了她。他数完数了,迫不及待地闯了进来。

“等等,”艾莎睁大眼睛,看着雪宝说,“那是什么?”

雪宝跳上楼梯,说:“嗨,我是雪宝,喜欢热情的拥抱。”他看着艾莎,突然害羞起来:“你堆的我,还记得吗?”

艾莎凝视着他不解地问:“你活了?”她看看自己的双手,惊讶于自己的魔力。

“我想是吧。”雪宝回答道。

“他和我们小时候堆的那个雪人一模一样,”安娜说,“我们那时多好啊。我们还能像那会儿一样。”

比起其他任何事,艾莎在心底无比希望能和妹妹回到以前。但是每每看到安娜头上那一绺白发,她就会想起多年前的那个晚上,她的魔法误伤到了妹妹。

艾莎转过身往楼梯上走,说道:“不,我们不能了。再见,安娜。”

“艾莎,等等!”安娜喊道,“求你别再把我拒之门外了。”

安娜向楼上跑去,试图说服姐姐。安娜认为既然人们都已经知道了艾莎的秘密,从此以后她们就可以快乐地生活在一起了。

但对艾莎而言并不容易。她觉得艾伦戴尔王国里的人肯定都不会再接纳她了。她不能再隐藏自己的魔法——她也不想再这样!可万一她再伤到谁呢?如果又伤到安娜呢?艾莎觉得如果一个人躲在这里,就没有人会被她的魔法伤到。但有些事艾莎还不了解。

“你好像把所有地方都变成了永恒的冬天。”安娜说。

“所有地方?”艾莎听到这个消息震惊了。安娜想给她以鼓舞:“没关系,只要你融化冰雪就可以。”

艾莎的眼神躲开了,说道:“不,我不能。我不知道怎么融化冰雪。”

安娜并不担心。“你一定能,我相信你可以的。”安娜跑向姐姐,她有信心她们可以一起找到解决办法。

对于艾莎来说,她很难控制好自己的情绪。她有些难以接受自己不小心将艾伦戴尔冰封的消息。也许她就是人们口中所说的妖怪。这时候宫殿的墙壁开始结冰。艾莎想要摆脱安娜,她一步步向台阶后退,她所经过的楼梯扶手开始冻住。

但是安娜执着地追着艾莎。“一切都会好的。”她坚持说道。

艾莎很纠结。她真的很想回去,也很想让一切都变美好,但这是不可能的!她沮丧而伤心地呼喊道:“我不能!”

说完,艾莎激动的情绪再一次释放了出来。她身体里释放出一道冰魔法,直接击中了安娜的心脏!安娜向后倒下了,艾莎惊恐万分。

雪宝急忙跑向安娜,扶她站起来。克斯托夫也闯了进来,冲向安娜。

“我没事,”她勇敢地说,“我很好。”

“我告诉过你离我远一点!”艾莎惊恐地说道。

“不,我不会放弃的,”安娜说,“我知道我们可以一起想出解决的办法。”

“怎么解决?”艾莎喊道,“你有什么样的力量可以阻止冬天?阻止我?”

“我不知道,”安娜说着,眼泪开始在眼眶里打转,“可是你不走,我是不会走的!”

艾莎心痛地看着妹妹。“不,你会的。”她扬起手来,魔法在空中闪现。突然,她用魔法变出了一个巨大的雪人,雪人从地上站了起来。雪人越变越大,体型远远超过了安娜和她的伙伴们。

“你给我做了个弟弟!”雪宝高兴地喊道。他冲着这个庞然大物说:“我要给你取名棉花糖!”
