Then Ru and Maui placed their hands under the sky, palms up, and stretched upward until they were taller than the tallest mountains.

于是鲁和茂宜将手放在天下, palm起手来,向上伸到比最高的山上.

Now people, plants, and animals can grow and move freely on the earth because of their efforts.

现在人们,植物和动物,由于他们的努力,可以自由地在地上生长和移动.

Maui Snares the Sun The lifting of the sky created an unexpected problem: now the Sun suddenly had enough space to run very fast across the heavens each day.

毛伊·斯纳斯太阳 天的升起造成了出人意料的问题:现在太阳突然有足够的空间每天跑得非常快.

The Sun was delighted with this turn of events.

Maui’s own mother was particularly unhappy about the way the Sun raced across the heavens each day because his speed interfered with her work.

Maui的亲生母亲尤其对太阳每天横行天涯感到不快,

It was Maui’s mother’s task to make cloth and sew it into clothing and sleeping mats.

Maui的母亲的任务是把布缝成衣物和睡垫。

She made her cloth by stripping bark from trees, pounding it into a pulp, and then spreading the pulp to dry in sheets.

However, because the days were so short, she could not dry the sheets of wood pulp, so there was never enough cloth for everyone who wanted it.

然而,由于日子太短了,她无法将木浆的活活活活干出来,所以从来就没有足够的布给想要的所有人.

People complained, and Maui’s mother begged Maui to help her.

人们抱怨,毛伊的母亲恳求毛伊帮助她.

Maui, moved by his mother’s plight, promised to do what he could.

被母亲困境所感动的毛伊答应尽他所能.

He decided to study the Sun’s journey to find out how to force the Sun to slow down.

他决定研究"太阳之行",以找出如何迫使"太阳"减速.

Maui climbed to the top of a large mountain and watched the Sun as it raced by one day.

毛伊爬入了一座大山的山顶上,在太阳竞走一日时看着太阳.

He noticed that the Sun had sixteen legs, which allowed him to move very quickly.

他注意到太阳有十六条腿,这使得他能非常快地移动.

Maui returned to his mother and told her, “I know what I have to do.

Maui回到他的母亲身边,告诉她,“我知道该怎么做。

The Sun has sixteen legs; I will need to snare them in order to capture him, but I do not know of a snare that is strong enough to hold him.”

太阳有十六条腿;我需要用绳子来抓他,但我不知道有一条有强力能抱住他的绳子. “

“Listen,” said Maui’s mother, “and I will tell you how to snare the Sun.

Maui的母亲说,“听着,我将告诉你如何抚摸太阳。

First, take these ropes from me.

首先,把这些绳子从我这里拿走。

They are made of strong vines braided together, and they will not break.”

它们由坚固的藤条编织而成,它们不会断裂. “

And she gave him fifteen different ropes.

她给他15条不同的绳子

“But for the rest of the materials to make your snare,” she said, “you must visit your grandmother.”

她说,“但为了完成剩下的材料,你必须去看望外婆。 “

Following his mother’s directions, Maui journeyed to his grandmother’s home.

按照母亲的指示,Maui去祖母家。

When the old woman learned of his purpose, she was eager to help.

当老妇人得知他的目的后,她急于帮忙.

She gave him a magic war axe and one more strong rope and told Maui to hide underneath a tree at the top of a mountain.

她给了他一把魔法战斧和一把更坚固的绳子,并告诉毛伊躲在一棵山顶一棵树下.

“From there,” she said, “you will be able to see the Sun as he comes up over the horizon, but he will not be able to see you.

她说:从那里出来,当太阳升起的时候,你们将看见他,但他不能看见你。

When his first leg creeps up and over the horizon, throw your first rope.

Maui did exactly as his mother and grandmother had told him.

Maui完全按照他母亲和外祖母的吩咐行事。

Before dawn the next morning, he concealed himself under a tree at the top of the tallest mountain he could find.

在第二天早上黎明前,他躲在一棵树下,他能找到最高的山顶.

Before long, the Sun’s first leg appeared on the horizon, and Maui threw his rope and caught it.

不久后,太阳的第一腿就出现在地平线上,毛伊将绳子抛出并抓住了.

He fastened the rope to the tree and waited for the second leg to appear.

他把绳子绑到树上,等待第二条腿出现.

As the Sun came up, Maui continued to trap his legs.

随着太阳升起,毛伊继续将他的腿夹住.

The Sun soon realized what was happening, and he slowed his ascent, but it was too late— Maui had already captured most of his legs.

太阳很快意识到正在发生的事情,他减缓了升起的速度,但为时已晚——毛伊已经抓住了大部分的腿.

As the Sun brought his final leg up into the sky, Maui captured it and bound it securely to the tree.

当太阳将他最后的腿抬上天空时,毛伊抓住了它并把它安全地绑入了树上.

“I will do no such thing,” Maui said, “until we reach an agreement.”

Maui说,“除非我们达成协议,否则我不会这样做。 “

And he described all the troubles the Sun’s rapid progress across the sky had made for humankind.

他描述了太阳在天空中迅速进步给人类带来的所有麻烦。

He explained how the people could not cook, work, or pray because the days were so short.

他解释了人们如何不能做饭、工作或祈祷,因为日子这么短。

The Sun, in fear, agreed to everything Maui said, and soon they had a bargain.

太阳在恐惧中同意了毛伊所说的一切,很快他们就有了交易.

Maui was not hard-hearted, and he agreed to allow the Sun to travel quickly across the sky in winter.

But in the summer, they agreed that the Sun would travel at a leisurely pace so that the days would be long and the people would be able to complete their work.

但是在夏天,他们同意太阳会以闲暇的速度出行,这样的日子会很长,人民就能完成他们的工作.

Thus Maui snared the Sun and created the seasons we have today.

Maui Pulls Up the Islands Maui’s great strength and cunning were equaled only by his love of mischief.

毛伊拉开 在群岛上,毛伊的伟大力量和狡猾只与他对恶作剧的热爱相提并论。

His relatives got tired of his pranks from time to time.

他的亲戚不时厌倦他的恶作剧.

When he and his brothers went out fishing, for example, the brothers would often catch fish after much time and effort, only to discover that the fish wound up in Maui’s net.

His brothers, however, were adamant.

He breathed some of his own magic power into it.

他把一些自己的魔力吸进去了

As soon as they were all far out to sea, Maui changed back into his proper shape.

他们一到出海的地步,毛伊就变回了适当的形状.

Sitting among the fish in the bottom of the canoe, he smiled up at his astonished brothers.

They were not pleased, but Maui cajoled them into staying out in the fishing grounds.

他们不高兴,但毛伊说服他们留在渔场。

He promised that they would see a marvel.

“If you will take me far, far out to the deepest parts of the ocean,” Maui said, “I will show you the greatest fish in the sea.”

“如果你能带我远走至最深的海域,”毛伊说,“我将指示你海上最伟大的鱼类。”

His brothers grumbled, but rather than endure Maui’s arguments, they decided to grant his request.

他的兄弟们不忍心忍受毛伊的争论,而是决定同意他的请求。

Together they paddled out to the farthest fishing grounds in the deepest part of the ocean.

他们一起划出海底最深处的渔场

Maui cast out his magic hook and fishing line and commanded his brothers to watch for the most marvelous fish they had ever seen.

It certainly was a heavy fish.

The brothers found that their united strength at the oars was scarcely enough to keep the canoe moving.

Maui pulled, and his brothers paddled, for what seemed like centuries.

毛伊拉了下来,他的兄弟们划了几世纪

Finally they could all hear something splashing up through the waves behind the canoe.

Then he screamed, horrified, for what he saw was an enormous, green piece of land— an island—surfacing behind them, caught fast on Maui’s magic fishing hook.

It looked like a monstrous fish that was about to devour them all.

它看起来像一个可怕的鱼 它即将吞噬它们的全部。

The brothers paddled frantically to get away from the island as it rose through the sea.

兄弟们疯狂地划去 离开小岛,当它从海中升起。

Maui gave one final, enormous heave and cast the line free, settling the island into place.

毛伊给了一个最后的,巨大的重力, 并把线自由了,安顿了小岛的位置。

Suddenly, the brothers found that they were paddling in shallow water next to a beach.

Without saying a word, Maui leaped from the canoe and splashed ashore.

不言而喻,毛伊从舟上一跃而起,一跃而上岸.

His brothers cried out for him to return, but he ignored them and soon was lost to sight.

他的哥哥们呼唤他回来,但他不理会他们,不久就失明了.

He explored the entire island, stopping to stare at a fire that was burning in a pit.

He reached out tentatively and touched it.

The gouges they made in the island remain, even now.

This is the reason for the mountains and valleys we see today on Aotearoa, the islands of New Zealand.
