《你相信有獨(dú)角獸嗎？》

Deborah Hopkinson 張寧

Young readers will want to pay close attention to Bethanie Deeney Murguias new picture book about a unicorn disguised （maybe） as a horse. But then， to see a unicorn， you have to be watching pretty carefully anyway， right？

年輕的讀者們會去密切關(guān)注貝瑟妮·迪尼·穆吉亞的新畫冊，該畫冊是關(guān)于一只（可能）偽裝成馬的獨(dú)角獸的。但是，要看到獨(dú)角獸，無論如何，你都必須去非常仔細(xì)地觀察，對吧？

The story opens at sunrise， with a lizard who is waiting for the white horse in the stable to wake up. And maybe this is just a horse in a red hat; a horse whos having a bad hair day; a horse who wants to keep the sun out of its eyes. I mean， really， if it was a unicorn， would it want to hide its glorious horn2 under a hat？

故事開始于日出時(shí)分，一只蜥蜴正在馬廄里等著白馬醒來。也許這只是一匹戴著紅帽子的馬，一匹鬃毛蓬亂的馬，或是一匹想避開陽光的馬。我的意思是，真的，如果它是一匹獨(dú)角獸，它會想把它光榮的角藏在帽子下面嗎？

Still， careful young readers will notice some very unusual things happening as this four-legged creature trots3 out and about. Are those flowers springing up under its hooves4？ Are those butterflies following in its wake5？ And is that a rainbow over its head？ And， wait！Is that a magical palace with peaks that look， well， remarkably like unicorn horns？

然而，仔細(xì)的年輕讀者會注意到當(dāng)這個(gè)四足動物四處奔跑時(shí)，一些非常不尋常的事情發(fā)生了。它的蹄下正生出花朵嗎？那些蝴蝶是在追逐它的尾跡嗎？它的頭上是彩虹嗎？等等！那是一座尖頂看起來非常像獨(dú)角獸的角的神奇宮殿嗎？

The book is perfect for storytime and read-alouds， Do You Believe in Unicorns？ is sure to attract readers of any age who want a little more magic in their everyday lives. In Murguias world， all magic is believing.

這本書非常適合于說故事和大聲朗讀，《你相信有獨(dú)角獸嗎？》一定能吸引想要在日常生活中來一點(diǎn)魔法的任何年齡的讀者。在穆吉亞的世界里，所有的魔法都是真的。
