第一章：被偷走的公主

Chapter One: The Stolen Princess

很久以前，一朵神奇的金色花在山谷中生长。

Long ago, a magical golden flower grew in a hidden valley.

这朵花可以治愈伤痛，延续生命。

It could heal wounds and give life.

一个名叫葛索的女人发现了这朵花。

A woman named Gothel found the flower.

她用这朵花保持自己的年轻。

She used it to keep herself young.

许多年过去，王后在怀孕时病得很重。

Years later, the queen became very ill while pregnant.

国王派人寻找可以救她的东西。

The king sent men to find something to save her.

他们找到了那朵金色的魔法花。

They found the magical golden flower.

花被带回王宫，制成药水。

It was brought to the palace and made into medicine.

王后喝下药水，恢复了健康。

The queen drank it and recovered.

不久之后，小公主诞生了。

Soon, the baby princess was born.

她的头发闪着金色的光。

Her hair glowed with golden light.

这种光和魔法花一样具有治愈能力。

It had the same healing power as the flower.

全国为这位小公主欢庆。

The whole kingdom celebrated her.

但葛索发现，她的魔法花消失了。

But Gothel discovered her flower was gone.

她跟随线索来到王宫。

She followed the trail to the castle.

她发现真正的魔法藏在公主的头发里。

She realized the magic was in the princess’s hair.

她剪下一缕头发，却发现魔法消失了。

When she cut the hair, the magic disappeared.

她明白，必须带走整个孩子。

She knew she had to take the whole child.

在一个夜晚，她偷走了小公主。

One night, she stole the baby.

她把公主带到了森林中的高塔。

She took her to a tower in the forest.

她给公主取名“乐佩”。

She named her Rapunzel.

王国第二天发现公主失踪了。

The kingdom discovered the princess was missing.

国王和王后陷入绝望。

The king and queen were heartbroken.

他们派出所有人去寻找她。

They sent everyone to search for her.

为了纪念公主的生日，他们每年放飞天灯。

Every year on her birthday, lanterns were released.

希望光能带她回家。

Hoping the light would bring her home.

而在高塔里，乐佩渐渐长大。

In the tower, Rapunzel grew up.

她不知道自己是公主。

She did not know she was a princess.

她只知道她的头发能治愈。

She only knew her hair could heal.

一个关于被偷走的生命与寻找自由的故事就此开始。

And a story of a stolen life and freedom began.
