Cinderella sat down beside her sisters and was very good to them, giving them some of the fruit and cakes that the prince had brought her. 灰姑娘坐在她的姐姐们身旁，对她们很好，而且把王子拿给她的水果和糕点送了一些给她们。 This kindness surprised and pleased them greatly, for they did not know who she was, 这份善心让她们很是惊讶和高兴，因为她们不认识她，
and they thought it very wonderful to be spoken to by so beautiful a princess. 而且她们觉得能跟这样漂亮的一位公主说话很是荣幸。
Just when Cinderella was enjoying herself the most, she heard the clock strike a quarter to twelve. 就在灰姑娘最高兴的时候，她听到了钟敲响了，差一刻就是12点了。
Without saying a word, she hurried away. 于是，她什么都没说就匆匆地离去了。
When she reached home, just at midnight, her coach became a pumpkin again, and her beautiful clothes became the ragged dress she wore every day. 到家的时候，正好是午夜时分，漂亮的马车变回了南瓜，漂亮的裙子变成了她平日穿的破烂裙子。

Cinderella thanked the fairy for sending her to the ball and told her all that had happened. 灰姑娘非常感谢仙女送她参加舞会并把所有发生的事情告诉了她。
The prince asked me to go to the ball tomorrow night, said the girl. "Oh! how I wish that I might go!" 女孩说：“王子让我明天晚上去参加舞会。啊！我多么希望自己能去啊！”
Soon her sisters came home from the king's palace. 不久，她的姐姐们从王宫回来了。
"How long you have stayed!" said Cinderella, rubbing her eyes as if she were sleepy. “你们待的时间可真长！”灰姑娘说着便揉了揉眼睛，好像自己很困的样子。
If you had been with us, said one of the sisters," you would not be tired or sleepy. “要是你跟我们一起去了，你就不会这么疲惫不堪想睡觉了。”她的一个姐姐说，
The most beautiful princess that ever was seen came to the ball. “一位人们从未见过的美丽公主来到了舞会。 |
