第五章 · 学会飞翔

Chapter 5 · Learning to Fly

小老鼠一直在想，怎样才能让小飞象重新开心起来。
The little mouse kept thinking about how to make Dumbo happy again.

一天，他对小飞象说：“我们去看看马戏团的新表演吧。”
One day, he said to Dumbo, “Let’s go and watch the new circus show.”

小飞象有点犹豫，但还是跟着去了。
Dumbo hesitated a bit, but he followed him anyway.

表演场上，其他动物都在练习特技。
In the arena, other animals were practicing their tricks.

小老鼠突然有了个主意。
The little mouse suddenly had an idea.

“你也可以表演！也许用你的大耳朵！”
“You can perform too! Maybe with your big ears!”

小飞象吃惊地说：“我的耳朵？可是它们太大了。”
Dumbo said in surprise, “My ears? But they’re too big.”

“正因为大，才能特别。”小老鼠眨眨眼说。
“Exactly! That’s what makes you special,” said the mouse with a wink.

小老鼠把他带到一个高台上。
The mouse led him to a high platform.

小飞象往下看，害怕得发抖。
Dumbo looked down and trembled with fear.

“别怕，我会在下面接住你！”小老鼠喊道。
“Don’t be afraid! I’ll catch you!” shouted the little mouse.

小飞象深吸一口气，张开大耳朵跳了下去。
Dumbo took a deep breath, opened his big ears, and jumped.

一开始，他直直地往下掉。
At first, he fell straight down.

小老鼠大喊：“拍动耳朵！拍动！”
The mouse shouted, “Flap your ears! Flap them!”

小飞象拼命拍动耳朵，突然感到风托起了自己。
Dumbo flapped his ears hard and suddenly felt the wind lifting him up.

他真的飞了起来！
He was flying!

小老鼠高兴地跳了起来：“你做到了！”
The little mouse jumped for joy, “You did it!”

小飞象越飞越高，越飞越稳。
Dumbo flew higher and higher, steadier and steadier.

风从他的大耳朵边呼呼吹过。
The wind rushed past his big ears.

他俯视着马戏团，第一次看到整个世界那么美。
He looked down at the circus and saw the world was so beautiful for the first time.

观众们都惊讶地看着他，欢呼声响彻天空。
The audience stared at him in amazement, and cheers filled the sky.

从那一刻起，小飞象再也不怕与众不同了。
From that moment on, Dumbo was no longer afraid of being different.

他终于明白，神给他的每一个“缺点”，都有它的意义。
He finally understood that every “flaw” given by God has its meaning.

小老鼠跑到他身边，大声喊：“你是飞翔的小飞象！”
The mouse ran beside him and shouted, “You’re Dumbo, the flying elephant!”

小飞象露出了最灿烂的笑容。
Dumbo smiled his brightest smile.
