此前作者花了很多筆墨描寫了非洲稀樹大草原的和諧寧靜捕儒，現(xiàn)在，是時候讓國王木法沙的新生兒子和子民們見面了够委。
Simba watched curiously as the monkey stepped in front of him. Seeing his wooden stick, the cub playfully tried to bat at it, missing and causing the adults around him to laugh. Rafiki nodded, pleased. It was a good sign for all of Pride Rock if Simba was curious and alert. Raising the stick above Simba, Rafiki shook it, causing red dirt to fall over the cub's head—and making the young cub sneeze.
辛巴好奇地看著走在他面前的猴子像云。 看到他的木制手杖，小家伙嬉戲地試著朝它擊打永丝，不見了，這個可愛的舉動惹得大家哈哈大笑箭养。拉菲奇點了點頭慕嚷，很是滿意。若是辛巴是好奇且謹(jǐn)慎的毕泌，那么這對所有的榮耀國子民來說都是一個很好的跡象喝检。拉菲基把棍子舉到辛巴的上方，搖了搖撼泛，紅色的粉塵落在幼崽的頭上挠说，使得這小家伙連打噴嚏。
Satisfied, Rafiki leaned down and carefully picked up Simba. Cradling him in one arm, he turned and slowly began to make his way out of the cave. Behind him, Mufasa and Sarabi followed, their bodies pressed close together. As they came out onto the rock, the sun went behind a cloud, as if not wanting to take away from the moment. Below, the animals leaned forward in anticipation. Step by step, Rafiki made his way toward the edge of Pride Rock until at last he stopped, mere inches from the steep drop. As the gathered animals watched from below, Rafiki lifted Simba up, up, up—until finally, he had raised baby Simba for all to see.
拉菲奇滿意地點了點頭愿题，它俯下身子损俭，小心翼翼地抱起辛巴。 拉菲奇用一只手輕輕地抱起它潘酗，轉(zhuǎn)身慢慢地走出洞穴杆兵。木法沙和沙拉碧緊隨其后，它們的身體緊緊地貼在一起仔夺。 當(dāng)它們走到巖石上時琐脏，太陽躲在一片白云后面，似乎對于帶出洞穴的辛巴很是不舍。 下面日裙，動物們期待地向前傾吹艇。 拉菲奇一步一步慢慢地朝榮耀石的邊緣走去，最后在離懸崖邊只有一英寸的地方停了下來阅签。在下面的動物們向上仰望掐暮，拉菲奇慢慢舉起辛巴，直到最后大家都能看到辛巴政钟。
Instantly, the gathered animals erupted in noise: Elephants trumpeted. Zebras stomped their feet. Storks flapped their wings, and the cheetahs let out their own cries. Then the sun burst through the clouds, a beam of light falling right down onto the head of Simba—the future king.
此刻動物們立即歡呼雀躍：大象發(fā)出鳴叫路克，斑馬興奮跺腳，鸛拍打翅膀养交，獵豹發(fā)出咆哮精算。隨后太陽突然穿過云層，一束光正好落在未來的國王辛巴的頭上碎连。
The animals dropped their heads, bowing in respect.
動物們垂頭鞠躬以示尊重灰羽。
Simba, still hanging from Rafiki's arms, looked down upon it all, unaware of the greatness of this moment. This was the way of life on Pride Rock. It was how it had always been and how it should always be. It was the Circle of Life, the way of the savannah. Through times of hardship and times of ease, the animals relied on one another and on the order of life to keep them going. Now it was Simba's turn to join that circle.
辛巴仍然懸在拉菲奇的手里，俯視著這一切鱼辙，沒有意識到這一刻是多么的偉大廉嚼。這就是榮耀國的生活方式。它一直以來的樣子倒戏，也應(yīng)該一直是什么樣子怠噪。這是生命的循環(huán)，是大草原的自然法則杜跷。在艱難和安逸的時期傍念，動物們依靠彼此和秩序來維持它們的生存。 現(xiàn)在輪到辛巴加入那個圈子了葛闷。
And while he didn't know it yet, someday it would be up to him to take his father's place and complete the circle—when he was king.
雖然他還不知道憋槐，但總有一天他會取代他父親的位置，經(jīng)歷并完成這個圈子——當(dāng)它成為國王的時候淑趾。
While nearly every animal in the savannah had come to greet their future king, there was someone missing. Someone whose presence, while not missed by others, was keenly felt by Mufasa. His brother, Scar, had missed the event.
幾乎所有草原上的動物都來迎接他們未來的國王阳仔，但有人缺席了。 木法沙敏銳地感覺到了—— 他的弟弟刀疤錯過了這次活動扣泊。
