Children's Books 童書
Finn: Once upon a time there was a princess called Yang Li…
Yang Li: Ha ha. Really, Finn? You have certainly put a smile on my face. Thank you. Once upon a time 意思是從前，這是許多英國傳統(tǒng)童話故事的固定開頭語。
Finn: That's right. And today in Ask About Britain we're answering a question from Cindy in Dalian.
INSERT
Hi, I am Cindy from Dalian, China. I am obsessed with Harry Potter series and I am really into British children’s literature. Therefore, I want to know what books British parents read to their children. Thanks.
Yang Li: Cindy, 和其他很多人一樣，也是一名哈迷，對哈利波特特別著迷is obsessed with哈利波特系列片。不過她想知道除了哈利波特之外英國的父母們還給孩子們讀哪些書呢？
Finn: Yes, she says she's really into children's literature. If you are really into something it means you really like it.
Yang Li: So, what children's books were you into, as a kid, Finn? Or rather, are you into as a big kid?
Finn: A big kid? I am a big kid. Well as a small kid, I really, really liked the fantasy novels of CS Lewis. Now I think people might know The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?
Yang Li: Yes.
Finn: And also I really liked some other books. They were quite dark, and more humorous and imaginative: the books of Road Dahl. For instance, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You know that one?
Yang Li: Yes. Finn 說他特別喜愛這些書，現(xiàn)在都改編拍成了巨額大片。獅子、女巫、魔衣櫥還有查理與巧克力工廠。You used the word fantasy, didn't you?
Finn: Yes, fantasy novels 幻想小說。
Yang Li: And humorous, 幽默的。
Finn: That's right. Now, Cindy's question was about which books British parents read to their children now. Let's hear from some British parents. First, here's Mark.
INSERT
A lot of the books that I tend to read him are books that I myself enjoyed as a young kid, or my younger brother enjoyed.
The Mr Men books in particular are very appealing to my little boy because they are very visually strong. Lots of primary colours and strong outlines to the images. And the stories are quaint, I suppose you would say. Quite sweet.
Yang Li: Mark 有個(gè)小兒子，非常喜歡聽一套叫Mr Men的童話書。這套書描繪的是幾個(gè)簡單的動(dòng)畫人物，使用基本色，原色primary colours.
Finn: Yes, he says they are visually strong 非常醒目。
Yang Li: And also quaint 古雅的、離奇有趣的，很有意思他說，他小的時(shí)候As a young kid也很喜歡這套童話書. Were you the same, Finn?
Finn: Yes, actually I loved the Mr Men books too. They were very simple stories with funny, colourful pictures!
Yang Li: 不過，好的童話不僅僅在于它的插圖精美。據(jù)Alice 介紹，對于年齡稍大些的兒童，什么更為重要呢？ What is important to them?
INSERT
For older children, I think they like a bit of a plot and some historical figures, some fantasy. So, King Arthur, or Alice in Wonderland where there are all these dreams and figures from your imagination. And I think it helps to have nice pictures, but plot’s more important as you get older.”
Finn: What did Alice say was important to slightly older children? Plot.
Yang Li: Plot 故事情節(jié)。她還說，年齡稍大的兒童可能對那些更為完整的故事感興趣，比如，King Arthur亞瑟王的故事和Alice in Wonderland 愛麗絲漫游奇境記。
Finn: Well, I hope that gives Cindy an idea of some of the kinds of books which
British parents like to read to their kids. Have you read any of these Li?
Yang Li: Certainly King Arthur and Alice in Wonderland.
Finn: I love King Arthur. Which do you prefer?
Yang Li: Alice in Wonderland.
Finn: And what about children's literature in China? Would you say the same kinds of things are popular?
Yang Li: From what I remember, 安徒生童話，特別有名！
Finn: 安徒生童話，是不是那個(gè)Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tales?
Yang Li: That's right. Of course there are lots of good Chinese fairy tales too.
Finn: Absolutely. Well, if you have any other questions about British culture, please email us at chinaelt@bbc.co.uk.
Yang Li: And they all lived happily ever after.
Finn: What?
Yang Li: And they all lived happily ever after! Isn't that how all children's stories end?
Finn: Oh, yes! And they all lived happily ever after. Bye for now.
Yang Li: Bye.
