SCENE II. -The Palace of Happiness.
第二场——幸福之园
(A troop of HAPPINESSES rush into the hall, singing, "There they are! They see us!" They dance merrily around the CHILDREN, then the one who appears to be the chief goes up to TYLTYL with hand outstretched.)
(一群幸福跑进大厅，唱着："他们来了！他们看见我们了！"并围着孩子们欢快地跳起舞来。而后，一个头领模样的人走向狄蒂尔，对他伸出了手。)
THE HAPPINESS How do you do, Tyltyl?
幸福：你好，狄蒂尔！
TYLTYL Who are you?
狄蒂尔：你是……？
THE HAPPINESS Don't you recognise me?
幸福：你认不出我了吗？
TYLTYL (a little embarrassed) Why, no... I don't remember seeing any of you.
狄蒂尔：（有点尴尬）哎呀，是认不出……可我不记得见过你们中的任何一位啊。
(All the other HAPPINESSES burst out laughing.)Why, we are the only things you do know! We are always around you! We eat, drink, wake up, breathe and live with you!
（其他幸福哄然大笑。）哟，我们正是你唯一了解的东西啊！我们一直在你周围！我们同你一起吃喝，一起醒来，一起呼吸，一起生活呢！
TYLTYL Oh... But I should like to know what your names are...
狄蒂尔：噢……不过我想知道你们的名字叫什么……
THE HAPPINESS I am the chief of the Happinesses of your home; and all these are the other Happinesses that live there.
幸福：我是你家里幸福的领头人；这些是住在你家的其他幸福。
TYLTYL Then there are Happinesses in my home?
狄蒂尔：那么，我家里有很多幸福吗？
(All the HAPPINESSES burst out laughing.)
（所有的幸福都哄然大笑。）
THE HAPPINESS You heard him! Are there Happinesses in his home! Why, it is crammed with Happinesses! Let me introduce myself first: the Happiness of Being Well. I am not the prettiest, but I am the most important. This is the Happiness of Pure Air, who is almost transparent. Here is the Happiness of Loving One's Parents. Here are the Happiness of the Blue Sky, who, of course, is dressed in blue, and the Happiness of the Forest: you will see him every time you go to the window...
幸福：你们听他在说些什么！他家里是不是有很多幸福？！嘿，幸福多得都要挤不下了！先介绍一下我自己：我是健康幸福，虽不是最漂亮的，但却是最重要的。这个是纯净空气幸福，他几乎是透明的。这个是敬爱父母幸福。这个是蓝天幸福，他自然是身穿蓝衣。这个是森林幸福，你每次走到窗前都能看见他……
TTWTL Excuse me, but do you know where the Blue Bird is?
狄蒂尔：不好意思，请问你知道青鸟在哪儿吗？
THE HAPPINESS He doesn't know where the Blue Bird is! (All the HAPPINESSES OF THE HOME burst out laughing.)
幸福：他不知道青鸟在哪儿！（家里所有的幸福哄然大笑。）
TTLITL (vexed) No, I do not know. There's nothing to laugh at.(Fresh bursts of laughter)
狄蒂尔：（恼火了）是，我就是不知道。有什么好笑的！（又爆出一阵笑声。）
THE HAPPNESS He doesn't know: well what do you expect? He is no more absurd than the majority of men...
幸福：他不知道，好吧，还能怎么样呢？他和大多数人一样都不可笑……
第六幕·醒来
Unable to find the Blue Bird anywhere the children say goodbye to their magical friends and return home. While they are trying to tell their parents about their adventures, their neighbour comes in. Her sick daughter has wanted Tyltyl's pet bird for a long time, but until now he has been reluctant to give it to her.
狄蒂尔和梅蒂尔没能找到青鸟，只得同这些神奇的朋友们告别，返回家中。到家后，他们正要和父母讲述自己的奇遇，邻居进来了。邻居生病的女儿想要狄蒂尔的宠物鸟好久了，但直到现在他也不愿意把鸟送人。
SCENE II. The Awakening.
第二场——醒来
(Enter NEIGHBOUR BERLINGOT, a little old woman leaning on a stick.)
（邻居贝兰戈上场，是一位拄着一根拐杖的矮小的老妇人。）
MUMMYTYL How is your little girl?
狄蒂尔妈妈：你家小姑娘身体怎么样了？
THE NEIGHBOUR Only so-so. She can't get up. But I know what would cure her.
邻居：马马虎虎，还起不了床。可我知道什么能治好她。
MUMMYTYL Yes, I know; it's Tyltyl's bird. Well, Tyltyl, aren't you going to give it at last to that poor little thing?
狄蒂尔妈妈：对，我也知道，得用狄蒂尔的鸟。喂，狄蒂尔，这下你总该把鸟送给那可怜的小姑娘了吧？
TYLTYL My bird! Why, he's blue! But it's my turtle-dove! But he's much bluer than when I went away! Why, that's the Blue Bird we were looking for! We went so far and he was here all the time! There, Madame Berlingot, take him to your little girl.
狄蒂尔：我的鸟！呀，它变成了青色！可它是我的小斑鸠啊！颜色怎么比我离开的时候变得更深了！天啊，它肯定是我们一直在找的青鸟！我们走了那么远，没想到它就在这里！给，贝兰戈太太，快把它带给你的小姑娘吧。
THE NEIGHBOUR Really? Straight away and for nothing? How happy she will be! (Kissing TYLTYL.)
邻居：真的？就这样白送给我了？她该多开心啊！（亲吻狄蒂）
(Later, the NEIGHBOUR enters with a little girl who carries TYLTYL'S' dove in her arms.)
（后来，邻居牵着一个小姑娘上场。小姑娘怀抱着狄蒂尔的斑鸠。）
THE NEIGHBOUR Do you see the miracle? She can run, she can dance, she can fly! (Pushing the LITTLE GIRL into TYITYL'S arms. Come along and thank Tyltyl.）
邻居：你们看到这个奇迹了吗？她现在能跑能跳，甚至能飞奔呢！（把小姑娘推到狄蒂尔怀里。）快去谢谢狄蒂尔。
(After TYITYL kisses the LITTLE GIRL rather awkwardly, the two children look at each other without speaking; then TYLTYL strokes the dove's head.）
（狄蒂尔笨拙地亲吻了小姑娘以后，两人对视，什么也没说；随后，狄蒂尔轻抚着斑鸠的头。）
TYLTYL Is he blue enough？
狄蒂尔：它的青色够深吗？
THE LITTLL GIRL Yes, I am so pleased with him.
小姑娘：是的，我很喜欢它。
TYLTYLL I have seen bluer ones. But those which are quite blue, you know, do what you will, you can't catch them.
狄蒂尔：我还见过更青的鸟，但是你知道的，那些纯青的鸟，真是怎么捉也捉不住。
THE LITTLL GIRL That doesn't matter; he's lovely.
小姑娘：没关系的，这只就很美了。
TYLTYL Has he had anything to eat? I will show you...
狄蒂尔：它吃过东西了吗？我给你看看它是怎么吃东西的……
(He moves to take the bird from the LITTLE GIRL'S hands. She resists instinctively; and, in their hesitation, the DOVE escapes and flies away.)
（他想从小姑娘手里接过青鸟，小姑娘本能地拒绝；在争抢的过程中，斑鸠逃掉并飞走了。）
THE LITTLL GIRL (with a cry of despair) He is gone!
小姑娘：（绝望地大喊）它飞走了！
TYLTYL Never mind. Don't cry. I will catch him again. (Stepping to the front of the stage and addressing the audience.) If any of you should find him, would you be so very kind as to give him back to us? We need him for our happiness, later on.
狄蒂尔：没关系的，不要哭。我会把它抓回来的。（走到舞台前，面向观众致辞。）你们若是有谁找到了它，能请你们把它归还给我们吗？为了以后的幸福，我们需要它。

三、一词多义与熟词生义

chief 常见义为"首领、头目"，课文 the one who appears to be the chief 指"幸福们的头领"，人格化用法。
blue 本义"蓝色的"，课文中 the Blue Bird（青鸟）、he's blue（变成青色）、bluer than when I went away（比离开时更青）中，"blue/青"象征"幸福之鸟"，是贯穿全剧的核心意象。
address 常见义为名词"地址"或动词"写地址、处理"，课文中 addressing the audience 意为"向观众致辞/说话"，戏剧术语。
straight 常见义"直的"，课文 Straight away and for nothing 中 straight away 为副词短语"立刻、马上"，for nothing 意为"免费、白送"。
catch 常见义"抓住、接住"，课文 you can't catch them（捉不住）、I will catch him again（我再抓回来）用于"捕捉（鸟）"，呼应"寻找青鸟"主题。

五、长难句拆解
【原句 1】Tyltyl and Mytyl have been searching for the Blue Bird in the Land of Memory, the Palace of Night and the Forest.
【主干】Tyltyl and Mytyl have been searching for the Blue Bird.
【分层】have been searching 为现在完成进行时，强调"一直在寻找"的持续动作；in the Land of Memory, the Palace of Night and the Forest 为三个并列地点状语，说明寻鸟经过之处。
【译文】狄蒂尔和梅蒂尔一直在寻找青鸟，他们已经踏过了记忆之土、夜宫和森林。
【考点】现在完成进行时；并列地点状语。
【原句 2】(A troop of HAPPINESSES rush into the hall, singing, "There they are! They see us!" They dance merrily around the CHILDREN, then the one who appears to be the chief goes up to TYLTYL with hand outstretched.)
【主干】A troop rush into the hall; they dance; the one goes up to TYLTYL.
【分层】singing ... 为现在分词作伴随状语；who appears to be the chief 为定语从句修饰 the one；with hand outstretched 为 with 复合结构作伴随状语。
【译文】（一群幸福跑进大厅，唱着"他们来了！他们看见我们了！"，围着孩子们欢快跳舞；随后一个头领模样的人向狄蒂尔伸出手。）
【考点】现在分词伴随状语；who 定语从句；with 复合结构。
【原句 3】I am the chief of the Happinesses of your home; and all these are the other Happinesses that live there.
【主干】I am the chief; and all these are the other Happinesses.

【主干】would you be so kind as to give him back?

六、语法点清单
1. 现在完成进行时（have been doing）
Tyltyl and Mytyl have been searching ... 强调从过去持续至今、仍在进行的"寻找"动作，是剧本交代背景的常用时态。
2. 戏剧舞台说明的句式特征
括号内容多为祈使/分词结构：(Enter NEIGHBOUR ...)、(He moves to take ...)。现在分词 singing / dancing 作伴随；with 复合结构（with hand outstretched）表状态。
3. 现在分词作伴随状语
singing, "There they are!"；They dance merrily ...。分词与谓语动作同时发生，补充画面信息。
4. 定语从句（who / that）
the one who appears to be the chief；the other Happinesses that live there；a little girl who carries ...。注意 who 在从句中作主语。
5. no more ... than 比较结构
He is no more absurd than the majority of men（他和大多数人一样都不可笑），该结构表"两者都不"，含否定意味。
6. 条件状语从句（if ... should）
If any of you should find him ... 用 should 表"万一"，语气委婉客气，常见于请求或假设情境。
七、逻辑链
第一幕·幸福之园：孩子寻青鸟至幸福之园 → 众"幸福"现身，方知幸福本在家中
↓
幸福们自报家门：健康、净气、敬父母、蓝天、森林…… → 孩子问青鸟何在，被笑"不知福"
↓
第六幕·醒来：未得青鸟，返家告别朋友 → 邻家病女求鸟，狄蒂尔不舍
↓
转机：家中斑鸠竟变青鸟 → 赠鸟医愈女孩，青鸟却挣脱飞走
↓
结尾：狄蒂尔向观众致辞，邀人归还青鸟 → "为日后幸福所需"
这是一篇"童话剧"节选：第一幕借"幸福们"之口点明"幸福就在身边"；第六幕以"赠鸟—失鸟"的情节转折揭示主题——青鸟（幸福）需主动追寻、乐于分享，且未必能永久占有。全剧以对观众的倾诉收束，打破"第四面墙"。
