很久很久以前
A very long time ago…
在一块名叫印度的神秘土地
…there lived a beautiful princess, in a mystical land known as…
住着一位美丽的公主
…India.
她嫁给了英俊的王子拉玛
She was married to the handsome Prince Rama…
王子被恶毒的继母凯伊皇后
…who had been banished to the enchanted forest…
流放到这座森林里来
…by his jealous stepmother, Queen Kaikeyi.
一天
One day…
西塔公主在森林里看见一只受伤的小鹿
…Princess Sita saw a wounded deer in the woods…
她肯求拉玛王子去救它
…and she begged Rama to go and help it.
王子在地上画了个圈 对公主说
Rama drew a circle in the ground and said to her:
这是一个魔法圈
“This is a magic circle.
只要你不离开它
So long as you stay inside it…
恶魔就不能伤害你
…no harm can come to you.”
那天晚上 公主听见一个声音
That night, the princess heard a horrible cry.
救救我
Help me.
她以为是心爱的拉玛王子有危险
Thinking it was her beloved Rama in danger…
于是跑出圈循着声音跑去
…the princess ran from the circle to answer the cry.
不久遇见了一位年迈的乞丐
She soon came across an old beggar man.
尽管身无分文
Although she had no money to give him…
公主不忍♥心拒绝老人的哀求
…she could not refuse his plea.
就把自己的手镯给了他
As soon as he had the bracelet…
就在这时乞丐变成了十头怪兽 拉瓦纳
…he transformed into the 10-headed demon, Ravana.
怪兽抢走了公主把她带进魔宫
He grabs the princess and takes her to his palace…
强迫西塔作它的新娘
…where he attempts to make her his bride.
