24、这就是天鹅。他们发出一种奇异的啼声，发展漂亮的长翅膀，从酷寒的地带飞向温煦的国度，飞向不结冰的湖上去。他们飞得很高-那么高，丑小鸭不禁觉得一种无名的开心。他在水上像一个车轮似地不停地旋转着，同时，把自己的颈项高高地向他们伸着，发出一种洪亮的怪叫声，连他本人也吓着了。啊!他再也忘不了那些漂亮的鸟儿，那些华蜜的鸟儿。当他看不见他们的时候，就沉入水底;然而当他再冒到水面上来的时候，却感到特别孤独。他不知道那些鸟儿的名字，也不晓得他们要飞去什么地方。不外他爱他们，仿佛他素来还不爱过什么东西似的。他并不嫉妒他们。他怎能空想有他们那样的漂亮呢?只有别的鸭儿准许他跟他们生活在一起，他就已经很快慰了-可怜的丑

25、东西。大清早，有一个农夫在这儿经过。他看到了这只小鸭，就走从前用木屐把冰块锤破，而后把它抱回家，送给他的妻子。它这时才促地复原了知觉。小孩子们都想跟它玩，不过小鸭以为他们想要侵害他。他一胆怯就跳到牛奶盘里去了，把牛奶溅得满屋子都是。女人惊叫起来，拍着双手。这么一来，小鸭就飞到黄油盆里去了，而后飞进面粉桶里去了，最终才爬出来。这时它的样子才丢脸呢!女人尖声地叫起来，拿着火钳要打它。小孩们挤做一团，想抓住这小鸭。他们又是笑，又是叫!幸好大门是开着的.。他钻进灌木林中新下的雪里面去。他躺在那里，彻底地力倦神疲。要是只讲他在这寒冬所受到困苦跟灾祸，那么这个故事也就太凄惨了。当太阳又起先暖和地照着的时候

26、，他正躺在沼泽地的芦苇里。百灵鸟唱起歌来了-漂亮的春天已经来了。突然间他举起翅膀：翅膀拍起来比以前有力得多，立即就把他托起来飞走了。别人不知鬼不觉地已经飞进了一座大花园。这儿苹果树开满了花;空气里飘着丁香怡人的香气，一根长长的枝条垂到曲曲折折的湖岸边。啊，这儿充溢了醉人的初春的气息!三只漂亮的白天鹅从树荫里始终游到他面前来。他们沉甸甸地浮在水上，羽毛发出飕飕的响声。小鸭认出这些高尚的鸟儿，于是心里感到一种说不出的难受。我要飞向他们，飞向这些名贵的鸟儿!可是他们会把我劈碎的，因为我是这样丑，尽然敢面临他们。不过这没有什么关系!被他们杀死，要比被鸭子咬、被鸡群啄，被照管养鸡场的那个女佣人踢跟在冬天受苦好得多!于是他飞到水里，向这些名贵优雅的天鹅游去：这些动物看到他，马上就竖起羽毛向他游来。请你们弄去世我吧!这只可怜的家伙说。他把头低低地垂到水上，只等待着逝世。然而他在这澄澈的水上看到了什么呢?他看到了自己的倒影。但那不再是一只笨拙的、深灰色的、又丑又令人厌烦的鸭子，而却是-一只天鹅!丑小鸭就像我们很想摆脱的不完备的自己，可是，生活中有几人有那么大的毅力和忍受力去承受蜕变成天鹅的煎熬呢。短篇英语故事带您向丑小鸭一样，坚决自己的幻想，永不放弃，因为，这个世界有许多个丑小鸭，却变成天鹅的丑小鸭没几个。加油，伙伴们。
