公主与卫兵公主与卫兵

这几天读到一个故事，我觉得可以解释很多事情，可以回答这世间很多女生问男生的问题。我觉得这应该是我所读过的，最好的一个故事之一了。于是我翻译过来，好故事值得被分享。

有一次国王为美丽的公主开宴会，有个士兵在一旁站岗，看到公主经过他的面前，她是绝色佳人，他立刻爱上了她。
但是卑微的士兵，怎配得上国王的女儿？
有一天，他终于设法接近她，并告诉她没有她就活不下去，公主被他的深情感动，她告诉士兵，如果你能等我100天，且日日夜夜在我的阳台下等我，百日之后，我就以身相许。
听了这话，士兵在阳台下等，一天，两天，十天，二十天，公主每晚往外探，他仍矗立终宵，风雪雨都抵挡不了他，鸟停在他头上拉屎，蜜蜂叮他，他都无动于衷。然而，在第99天时，士兵已经变得消瘦，脸色苍白，眼泪从他眼眶里流了出来。他已经支撑不住了，甚至连睡觉的力气都没有了，而在这段时间里公主一直都看在眼里。最后，在99天的晚上，士兵站了起来，提起椅子，永远地离开了。

这个故事有很多种理解，我也有我自己的理解。而我的理解可以用另一个故事来说明：

中世纪的时候，一位骑士向他心爱的女子求爱。他知道女子喜欢每天清晨新鲜的野花，于是每天都早起去采一大把野花做成花束送给她。这样坚持了一个月，女子被其感动，一日约他到了狮笼旁，摘下自己的手镯，对他说，如果你能把这个手镯捡回来给我，我就嫁给你。说完就将之扔到了狮笼里。骑士立刻拔剑跳入狮笼里，与狮子展开搏斗，最后幸运的杀死了狮子，取回了手镯。他将沾满血的手镯擦拭干净之后交还了女子，头也不会的走了。

或许，也可以用《等你下课》里的一句歌词来解释，不过却有另外一种意思了：

等你收到情书，也代表我已经走远。

以下是这个故事的原文：

Once a king gave a feast for his beautiful princess, now, a soldier who was standing guard,saw the king‘s daughter go by,she was a most beautiful girl,and he fell instantly in love.
but what is a simple soldier，next to the daughter of a king?
【公主与卫兵】At last he succeeded in meeting her,and he told her that he could no longer live without her. The princess was so taken by his love that she said to the soldier,if you can wait for 100days,and 100nights under my balcony. At the end of it, I shall be yours.
With that,the soldier went and waited. one day,two days,then ten,then twenty,each evening the princess looked out, and he never moved. In rain,wind,and snow,he was still there,birds sat on his head,bees stung him,but he didn't move. However,on the ninety day,he had become pale and weak,tears streamed from his eyes. He couldn't hold them back. He didn't even have the strength to sleep,and all that time,the princess watched him. Finally,on the 99th night,the soldier stood up,took his chair,and left.
