皇帝的新衣英文版

Many years ago，there lived an emperor. His only ambition was to be always well dressed. He had a coat for every hour.

One day two swindlers came to this city;they made people believe that they were weavers，and declared they could make the finest cloth. And the clothes made of their materials would be invisible to any man who was unfit for his office.

“That must be wonderful cloth，”thought the emperor. “If I were to be dressed in a suit made of this cloth，I should be able to find out which men in my empire were unfit for their places. ”He gave a lot of money to the swindlers. They set up two looms，and pretended to work，but they did nothing. “I'd like to know how they are getting on with the cloth，”thought the emperor. But he felt rather uneasy when he remembered that he who was not fit for his office could not see it. He sent his honest old minister to the weavers.

The good old minister went into the room where the swindlers sat before the empty looms. He opened his eyes wide，“I cannot see anything at all，”but he did not say so. The poor old minister tried his best，but he could see nothing. “Now，have you got anything to say? ”said one of the swindlers. “Oh，it is very pretty，”replied the old minister，looking through his glasses. “What a beautiful pattern，what brilliant colours!I shall tell the emperor that I like the cloth very much. ”

“We are pleased to hear that，”said the two weavers，and described to him the colours and explainedthe curious pattern. Now the swindlers asked for more money，silk and gold‐cloth，which they kept for themselves.

Everybody in the whole town talked about the precious cloth. At last the emperor wished to see it himself，“Your Majesty must admire the colours and the pattern. ”“What is this? ”thought the emperor，“I do not see anything at all. That is terrible!Am I stupid? Am I unfit to be emperor? That would indeed be the most dreadful thing that could happen to me. ”

“It is very beautiful. ”And all advised him to wear the new magnificent clothes at the coming great procession. The whole night before the procession，the swindlers pretended to be busy with the emperor's new suit. They pretended to take the cloth from the loom，and worked about in the air with big scissors，and sewed with needles without thread，and said at last，“The emperor's new suit is ready now. ”

The emperor and all his barons came to the hall;the swindlers held their arms up as if they held something in their hands and said，“These are the trousers!”“This is the coat!”and“Here is the cloak!”“They are all as light as a cobweb，and one must feel as if one had nothing at all upon the body;but that is just the beauty of them. ”

“Indeed!”said all the courtiers;but they could see nothing.

The emperor undressed，and the swindlers pretended to put the new suit upon him，one after another;and the emperor looked at himself in the glass.

“How well they look!How well they fit!”said all. “I am ready，”said the emperor.

The emperor marched in the procession，and all who saw him in the street and out of the windows exclaimed: “Indeed，the emperor's new suit is incomparable!What a long train he has!How well it fits him!”Nobody wished to let others know he saw nothing.

“But he has nothing on at all，”said a little child. “Good heavens!Listen to the voice of an innocent child，”said the father，and one whispered to the other what the child had said. The chamberlains walked with greater dignity，as if they carried the train which did not exist.
