Prologue - Beauty And The Beast-Alan Menken

[00:29.97]Once upon a time, in a faraway land,
很久很久以前，在一片遥远的大陆 [00:33.34]A young Prince lived in a shining castle.
那金碧辉煌的城堡中，住着一位年轻的王子 [00:37.13]Although he had everything his heart desired,
尽管他得到了内心渴求的一切 [00:40.34]The Prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind.
但他依旧骄纵，自私而无情。 [00:46.15]But then, one winter's night,
之后，在一个冬季的夜晚 [00:48.46]An old beggar woman came to the castle
城堡里来了一位乞讨的老太太 [00:51.35]And offered him a single Rose
老太太给了王子一朵玫瑰 [00:54.15]In return for shelter from the bitter cold.
作为回报，她希望王子可以供她借宿一晚度过这艰难的一夜 [00:57.86]Repulsed by her haggard appearance,
王子嫌弃她枯槁丑陋的面容无情地拒绝了她 [01:00.17]The Prince sneered at the gift,
并对她的礼物嗤之以鼻 [01:02.70]And turned the old woman away.
将她赶出了城堡 [01:04.90]But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances,
但是老太太却告诫他不要以貌取人 [01:08.42]For Beauty is found within.
真正的美丽来自心灵和内在 [01:11.75]And when he dismissed her again,
但王子又一次无视了她的告诫 [01:14.10]The old woman's ugliness melted away
突然老太太的丑陋消失不见了 [01:16.62]To reveal a beautiful Enchantress.
取而代之的是一个无比美丽迷人的女子 [01:20.69]The Prince tried to apologize, but it was too late,
王子见状，连忙想要道歉挽回，但一切都太迟了 [01:23.95]For she had seen that there was no love in his heart.
因为女子已经看清了他的心里没有爱 [01:27.65]And as punishment,
作为惩罚 [01:28.64]She transformed him into a hideous beast,
她将王子变成了一只丑陋骇人的野兽 [01:31.33]And placed a powerful spell on the castle,
并且对整座城堡 [01:34.70]And all who lived there.
以及城堡里的生物都施了魔法 [01:37.26]Ashamed of his monstrous form,
因为羞愧于他怪物般外表 [01:39.59]The beast concealed himself inside his castle,
野兽将他自己隐匿于城堡中 [01:42.67]With a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world.
他唯一可以窥视外界的窗户是一块魔镜 [01:48.32]The Rose she had offered,
那女子给的玫瑰 [01:50.92]Was truly an enchanted rose,
是一朵被施了魔法的花 [01:53.35]Which would bloom until his 21 years.
会在王子21岁生日的时候绽放 [01:57.13]If he could learn to love another,
如果王子可以在绽放的期间学会如何爱上别人 [01:59.98]And earn their love in return
并且也赢得了对方的爱 [02:02.20]By the time the last petal fell,
随着最后一片花瓣的凋谢 [02:04.29]Then the spell would be broken.
所有的魔法将被解除 [02:08.16]If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast
但倘若没有，他这辈子都将是一只野兽 [02:12.43]For all time.
永远 [02:15.45]As the years passed,
一年又一年 [02:17.51]He fell into despair, and lost all hope,
他陷入了绝望，失掉了所有的期待 [02:23.40]For who could ever learn to love...a Beast?
因为这世上有谁会爱上……一只野兽呢……
