Question

Пересказ фильма Красавица и Чудовище на английском

Answer 1

Once upon a time there lived a wealthy merchant and his three daughters.

One day, the father was to go to a far-off place and he asked his daughters what they wanted on his return. The first and the second daughter asked for lovely dresses. But the third daughter, whose name was Beauty, said, “Father, I only need a rose plucked by your hand.” The merchant, on his way back, had to cross through the deep forest. It was dark and the merchant tried to find a place to sleep. He suddenly found a huge castle and went inside to find nobody. There was a huge table with delicious food and he ate it all. Then the merchant went into the bedroom and slept on a soft and fluffy bed. The next day, too, the merchant did not find anyone in the castle. He saw a beautiful rose bush growing in the lawn and remembered Beauty’s gift. He plucked a red rose from the bush.

Suddenly, a ferocious looking beast sprang out of the bush. He was wearing fine silk clothes and roared, “I gave you food and a bed to sleep in! And now, you are stealing my roses!” The merchant was frightened and told the Beast about Beauty’s gift. The Beast decided to let him go only if he promised to send Beauty to this castle. The merchant agreed and ran back home. He cried and told his daughters about the Beast. But Beauty loved her father a lot and agreed to go stay with the Beast.

The Beast treated Beauty with a lot of kindness. He was never rude to her. He let her stay in the biggest room and let her roam in the beautiful garden. Beauty would sit near the fireplace and sew while the Beast kept her company. At first, Beauty was afraid of the Beast but slowly, she began to like him.

One day, the Beast asked Beauty to marry him, but she refused. She was still afraid of his fearful-looking face. The Beast still treated her kindly and with a lot of love. Beauty missed her father a lot. The Beast gave her a magic mirror and said, “Look at the mirror and you can see your family. Now you won’t feel lonely anymore.

One day, Beauty looked in the mirror and saw that father was very ill and dying. She went to the Beast and pleaded and cried, “Please let me go home! I only want to see my father before he dies!” But the Beast roared, “No! You promised you would never leave this castle!” Saying this, he stormed out of the room. But after some time, he came to Beauty and said, “You may go to stay with your father for seven days. But you must promise to return after that.” Beauty was very happy and agreed. Then she left and went to stay with her father. Her father, on seeing Beauty, felt very happy and soon recovered. Beauty stayed with her family for seven days and more. She forgot the Beast and his castle. But one night, she had a terrible nightmare in which she saw the Beast was very ill and about to die. He was crying, “Beauty, please come back!”

Beauty woke up and went back to the castle because she did not mean to hurt the Beast. She cried and said, “Please don’t die, Beast! I will live with you forever!” The Beast miraculously changed into a handsome prince. He said, “I was under a curse all these years and could only be relieved when someone fell in love with me. I am now cured of the curse because you truly love me.” And then, Beauty and the Beast were married and together they lived happily ever after.

Answer 2

Once upon a time in a small provincial town, there lived a beautiful and kind-hearted young woman named Belle. She enjoyed reading and had dreams of adventure beyond the confines of her mundane life. However, Belle's life took an unexpected turn when her father, Maurice, a quirky inventor, got lost in the woods and stumbled upon a mysterious and enchanted castle.

Unbeknownst to Maurice, the castle was home to a fearsome Beast who was once a selfish prince. As a punishment for his cruelty, a powerful enchantress had cursed him and his servants, transforming them into various household objects. The only way to break the curse was to find true love before the last petal fell from an enchanted rose.

When Maurice was caught trespassing in the castle, the Beast imprisoned him. Hearing of her father's plight, Belle bravely set out to rescue him and offered to take her father's place as the Beast's captive. The Beast agreed, hoping that this could be the chance to break the curse.

As days passed, Belle and the Beast found themselves spending more time together. Though initially frightened by his appearance and temper, Belle soon saw the wounded soul beneath the Beast's exterior. The Beast, in turn, started to appreciate Belle's intelligence, compassion, and ability to see beyond appearances.

Meanwhile, back in the village, Gaston, a narcissistic and arrogant hunter, had long set his eyes on marrying Belle. When he learned of her captivity in the castle, he gathered a mob and set out to "rescue" her, fueled by jealousy and pride.

Inside the castle, the enchanted household objects, such as Lumière the candelabra, Cogsworth the clock, Mrs. Potts the teapot, and Chip the teacup, did their best to make Belle feel welcome. They hoped that Belle and the Beast would fall in love, breaking the curse and freeing them all.

As time passed, Belle and the Beast indeed started falling in love. However, just as they began to discover their feelings for one another, the last petal on the enchanted rose fell. The Beast, realizing that he might never break the curse, let Belle go to save her from a life trapped with him.

But true love prevailed, and Belle returned to the castle to rescue the Beast from Gaston's wrathful attack. In a climactic battle, Gaston met his fate while trying to harm the Beast. Belle's love for the Beast broke the curse, and he transformed back into the prince he once was.

With the spell broken, the castle and its inhabitants were restored to their human forms. The prince, now with a changed heart, apologized to all those he had wronged in the past, and Belle and the prince danced together, celebrating their love and the newfound kindness within him.

And so, a tale as old as time came to a happy ending as Belle and the prince lived happily ever after in the enchanted castle, surrounded by the love of their friends who were once objects but were now fully human again.
