While she was sobbing, her godmother, who was a Fairy, appeared before her.

当她哭泣的时候，她的教母，一个仙女，出现在她面前。

"Cinderella," said the Fairy,

“灰姑娘，”仙女说，

"I am your godmother, and for the sake of your dear mamma I am come to cheer you up, so dry your tears;

“我是你的教母，看在你亲爱的妈妈的份上，我来帮助你，所以擦干你的眼泪；

you shall go to the grand ball tonight, but you must do just as I bid you. Go into the garden and bring me a pumpkin."

今晚你可以去参加盛大的舞会，不过你得照我说的去做。到花园里去，给我拿一个南瓜来。”

Cinderella brought the finest that was there.

灰姑娘拿来花园里最好的南瓜。

Her godmother scooped it out very quickly, and then struck it with her wand, upon which it was changed into a beautiful coach.

她的教母快速抱起它，然后用魔法棒敲了一下，它就变成了一辆漂亮的马车。

Afterwards, the old lady peeped into the mouse-trap, where she found six mice.

接着，教母看了看捕鼠器，发现了六只老鼠。

She tapped them lightly with her wand, and each mouse became a fine horse.

她用魔法棒轻轻敲了敲它们，每只老鼠都变成了一匹骏马。

The rat-trap contained two large rats; one of these she turned into a coachman, and the other into a postilion.

捕鼠器里有两只大老鼠；其中一个变成了车夫，另一个变成了马夫。
