The Emperor’s New ClothesMany years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed (习惯)to say, "He is sitting in council," it was always said of him; "The Emperor is sitting in his wardrobe."Time passed merrily in the large town which was his capital; strangers arrived every day at the court. One day, two rogues, calling themselves weavers, made their appearance. They gave out that they knew how to weave stuffs of the most beautiful colors and elaborate patterns, the clothes manufactured from which should have the wonderful property of remaining invisible to everyone who was unfit for the office he held, or who was extraordinarily simple in character. "These must, indeed, be splendid clothes!" thought the Emperor. "Had I such a suit, I might at once find out what men in my realms are unfit for their office, and also be able to distinguish the wise from the foolish! This stuff must be woven for me immediately." And he caused large sums of money to be given to both the weavers in order that they might begin their work directly.So the two pretended weavers set up two looms, and affected to work very busily, though in reality they did nothing at all. They asked for the most delicate silk and the purest gold thread; put both into their own knapsacks; and then continued their pretended work at the empty looms until late at night. "I should like to know how the weavers are getting on with my cloth," said the Emperor to himself, after some little time had elapsed; he was, however, rather embarrassed, when he remembered that a simpleton, or one unfit for his office, would be unable to see the manufacture. To be sure, he thought he had nothing to risk in his own person; but yet, he would prefer sending somebody else, to bring him intelligence about the weavers, and their work, before he troubled himself in the affair. All the people throughout thecity had heard of the wonderful property the cloth was to possess; and all were anxious to learn how wise, or how ignorant, their neighbors might prove to be."I will send my faithful old minister to the weavers," said the Emperor at last, after some deliberation(考虑), "he will be best able to see how the cloth looks; for he is a man of sense, and no one can be more suitable for his office than he is."So the faithful old minister went into the hall, where the knaves were working with all their might, at their empty looms. "What can be the meaning of this?" thought the old man, opening his eyes very wide. "I cannot discover the least bit of thread on the looms." However, he did not express his thoughts aloud.The impostors(骗子)requested him very courteously(有礼貌地)to be so good as to come nearer their looms; and then asked him whether the design pleased him, and whether the colors were not very beautiful; at the same time pointing to the empty frames. The poor old minister looked and looked, he could not discover anything on the looms, for a very good reason, vise: there was nothing there. "What!" thought he again? "Is it possible that I am a simpleton(傻子)? I have never thought so myself; and no one must know it now if I am so. Can it be, that I am unfit for my office? No, that must not be said either. I will never confess that I could not see the stuff." "Well, Sir Minister!" said one of the knaves, still pretending to work. "You do not say whether the stuff pleases you." "Oh, it is excellent!" replied the old minister, looking at the loom through his spectacles. "This pattern, and the colors, yes, I will tell the Emperor without delay, how very beautiful I think them." "We shall be much obliged to you," said the impostors, and then they named the different colors and described the pattern of the pretended stuff. The old minister listened attentively to their words, in order that he might repeat them to the Emperor; and then the knaves asked for more silk and gold, saying that it was necessary to complete what they had begun. However, they put all that was given them into their knapsacks; and continued to work with as much apparent diligence as before at their empty looms.The Emperor now sent another officer of his court to see how the men were getting on, and to ascertain whether the cloth would soon be ready. It was just the same with this gentleman as with the minister; he surveyed the looms on all sides, butcould see nothing at all but the empty frames. "Does not the stuff appear as beautiful to you, as it did to my lord the minister?" asked the impostors of the Emperor's second ambassador; at the same time making the same gestures as before, and talking of the design and colors which were not there."I certainly am not stupid!" thought the messenger. "It must be, that I am not fit for my good, profitable office! That is very odd; however, no one shall know anything about it." And accordingly he praised the stuff he could not see, and declared that he was delighted with both colors and patterns. "Indeed, please you’re Imperial Majesty," said he to his sovereign when he returned, "the cloth which the weavers are preparing is extraordinarily magnificent."The whole city was talking of the splendid cloth which the Emperor had ordered to be woven at his own expense.And now the Emperor himself wished to see the costly manufacture, while it was still in the loom. Accompanied by a select number of officers of the court, among who were the two honest men who had already admired the cloth, he went to the crafty impostors, who, as soon as they were aware of the Emperor's approach, went on working more diligently than ever; although they still did not pass a single thread through the looms. "Is not the work absolutely magnificent?" said the two officers of the crown, already mentioned. "If your Majesty will only be pleased to look at it! What a splendid design! What glorious colors!" and at the same time they pointed to the empty frames; for they imagined that everyone else could see this exquisite piece of workmanship."How is this?" said the Emperor to himself. "I can see nothing! This is indeed a terrible affair! Am I a simpleton, or am I unfit to be an Emperor? That would be the worst thing that could happen--Oh! The cloth is charming," said he, aloud. "It has my complete approbation." And he smiled most graciously, and looked closely at the empty looms; for on no account would he say that he could not see what two of the officers of his court had praised so much. All his retinue now strained their eyes, hoping to discover something on the looms, but they could see no more than the others; nevertheless, they all exclaimed, "Oh, how beautiful!" and advised his majestyto have some new clothes made from this splendid material, for the approaching procession."Magnificent! Charming! Excellent!" resounded on all sides; and everyone was uncommonly gay. The Emperor shared in the general satisfaction; and presented the impostors with the rebind of an order of knighthood, to be worn in their button-holes, and the title of "Gentlemen Weavers. "The rogues sat up the whole of the night before the day on which the procession was to take place, and had sixteen lights burning, so that everyone might see how anxious they were to finish the Emperor's new suit. They pretended to roll the cloth off the looms; cut the air with their scissors; and sewed with needles without any thread in them. "See!" cried them, at last."The Emperor's new clothes are ready!"And now the Emperor, with all the grandees of his court, came to the weavers; and the rogues raised their arms, as if in the act of holding something up, saying, "Here are your Majesty's trousers! Here is the scarf! Here is the mantle! The whole suit is as light as a cobweb; one might fancy(想象)one has nothing at all on, when dressed in it; that, however, is the great virtue of this delicate cloth." "If your Imperial Majesty will be graciously pleased to take off your clothes, we will fit on the new suit, in front of the looking glass."The Emperor was accordingly undressed, and the rogues pretended to array(打扮)him in his new suit; the Emperor turning round, from side to side, before the looking glass."How splendid his Majesty looks in his new clothes, and how well they fit!" Everyone cried out. "What a design! What colors! These are indeed royal robes!""The canopy which is to be borne over your Majesty, in the procession, is waiting," announced the chief master of the ceremonies. "I am quite ready," answered the Emperor. "Do my new clothes fit well?" asked he, turning himself round again before the looking glass, in order that he might appear to be examining his handsome suit. The lords of the bedchamber, who were to carry his Majesty's train felt about on the ground, as if they were lifting up the ends of the mantle; and pretended to be carrying something; for they would by no means betray anything like simplicity, orunfitness for their office.So now the Emperor walked under his high canopy in the midst of the procession, through the streets of his capital; and all the people standing by, and those at the windows, cried out, "Oh! How beautiful are our Emperor's new clothes! What a magnificent train there is to the mantle; and how gracefully the scarf hangs!" in short, no one would allow that he could not see these much-admired clothes; because, in doing so, he would have declared himself either a simpleton or unfit for his office. Certainly, none of the Emperor's various suits had ever made so great an impression, as these invisible ones. "But the Emperor has nothing at all on!" said a little child."Listen to the voice of innocence!" exclaimed his father; and what the child had said was whispered from one to another."But he has nothing at all on!" at last cried out all the people. The Emperor was vexed, for he knew that the people were right; but he thought the procession must go on now! And the lords of the bedchamber took greater pains than ever, to appear holding up a train, although, in reality, there was no train to hold.。

八下英语第六单元作文皇帝的新衣全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1Title: The Emperor's New ClothesOnce upon a time in a faraway kingdom, there lived an emperor who was very fond of new clothes. He spent most of his time and money on acquiring the latest and most luxurious outfits. The emperor always wanted to look his best, and he believed that his clothes were a reflection of his wealth and power.One day, two cunning weavers came to the kingdom and claimed they could make the most exquisite clothes in the world. They told the emperor that their clothes were so special that only the wise and intelligent people could see them. Intrigued by the idea of having such unique clothes, the emperor immediately commissioned the weavers to make him a new outfit.The weavers pretended to weave the finest threads and work diligently on the invisible clothes. They asked for the most exquisite materials and the best colors, but in reality, they werenot making anything at all. The emperor, eager to see his new clothes, sent his trusted ministers to check on the progress.The ministers, not wanting to be seen as fools, pretended to admire the invisible clothes and praised the weavers for their skill. They described the colors and patterns in great detail, even though they couldn't see anything at all. The emperor, hearing their glowing reviews, was pleased and eagerly awaited the completion of his new outfit.Finally, the weavers presented the emperor with his new clothes, which were, in fact, invisible. The emperor, not wanting to appear foolish, put on the nonexistent outfit and paraded through the streets of the kingdom. The people, too afraid to speak out against the emperor, admired his new clothes and praised his excellent taste.However, a small child who didn't understand the deception pointed out that the emperor was wearing no clothes at all. The truth quickly spread throughout the kingdom, and the people realized they had been deceived. The emperor, feeling embarrassed and exposed, hurried back to his palace in shame.From that day on, the emperor learned a valuable lesson about vanity and the importance of honesty. He vowed to always be true to himself and never be swayed by false appearancesagain. And as for the weavers, they were never seen or heard from again in the kingdom.The story of the emperor's new clothes serves as a reminder that true wealth and power come from within and cannot be bought or displayed through material possessions. It teaches us to be honest with ourselves and others and to see beyond the illusions of vanity and deceit.篇2Title: The Emperor's New ClothesOnce upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there lived an emperor who loved clothes more than anything else in the world. He was always dressed in the finest silk and velvet, adorned with jewels and golden threads. His palace was filled with tailors and seamstresses, working day and night to create new and exquisite outfits for him.One day, two cunning weavers came to the kingdom, claiming to be able to weave the most beautiful and magical clothes in the world. They said that their fabrics were so special that only the wise and intelligent could see them, while fools would see nothing at all. The emperor was intrigued and immediately ordered the weavers to make him a new outfit.The weavers pretended to weave the fabric, but in reality, they did nothing at all. After a few days, they presented the emperor with his new clothes, claiming that they were made of the finest silk and gold, and that only those with a sharp mind could see them. The emperor, not wanting to appear foolish, pretended to admire the clothes and praised the weavers for their skill.On the day of the grand procession, the emperor donned his new clothes and paraded through the streets. The people gasped in awe at his outfit, marveling at the colors and patterns of the invisible fabric. However, a small child in the crowd pointed and exclaimed, "But the emperor is not wearing any clothes at all!"The truth quickly spread through the crowd, and soon everyone was laughing at the emperor's foolishness. The emperor, realizing that he had been tricked, hurried back to the palace in shame. The weavers had long fled the kingdom, leaving behind only their empty words and the emperor's embarrassment.From that day on, the emperor learned to be humble and not to judge things based on appearance alone. He realized that true beauty comes from within, and that one should never beafraid to speak the truth, even if it means admitting one's own foolishness.And so, the emperor's new clothes became a cautionary tale, reminding all who heard it that appearances can be deceiving, and that true wisdom lies in seeing beyond the illusion of fine fabrics and empty words.篇3The Emperor's New ClothesOnce upon a time in a faraway kingdom, there lived an emperor who was very fond of new clothes. He loved to wear the most luxurious and extravagant outfits, and he would spend all his time and money on his wardrobe. The people of the kingdom admired the emperor's sense of style and fashion, and they would often gather to watch him parade through the streets in his latest creations.One day, two cunning tailors came to the kingdom claiming to be able to make the most magnificent and magical clothes in the world. They told the emperor that their clothes were so special that only the most intelligent and wise people could see them. The emperor was intrigued and commissioned the tailors to make him a new outfit.The tailors set to work, pretending to weave the finest fabrics and embroider them with threads of pure gold. They worked day and night, but in reality, they were weaving nothing at all. When the emperor came to check on their progress, they showed him empty looms and explained that his new clothes were so special that they were invisible to anyone who was unfit for their position or just plain stupid.The emperor, not wanting to appear foolish, pretended to see the clothes and praised the tailors for their skill and creativity. He put on his new outfit and paraded through the streets, while the people of the kingdom marveled at the emperor's incredible new clothes.However, as the emperor walked through the streets, a little child spoke up and said, "But the emperor has no clothes on!" The people gasped in shock as they realized the truth of the child's words. The emperor, feeling embarrassed and exposed, quickly returned to the palace and never wore his magical clothes again.From that day on, the emperor learned that true beauty and elegance come from within, and that it is better to be honest and true to oneself than to seek validation from others through material possessions. And the people of the kingdom learned tobe more discerning and to trust their own judgment rather than blindly following the whims of others.And so, the emperor's new clothes became a cautionary tale about vanity, deceit, and the importance of being true to oneself. And the kingdom lived happily ever after, with the emperor ruling with wisdom and humility, and the people living in harmony and honesty.。

The Emperor’s New ClothesMany years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed to say, "He is sitting in council," it was always said of him; "The Emperor is sitting in his wardrobe."Time passed merrily in the large town which was his capital; strangers arrived every day at the court.

"I can see nothing! This is indeeda terrible affair! Am I a simpleton, or am I unfit to be an Emperor? That would be the worst thing that could happen--Oh! The cloth is charming," said he, aloud. "It has my complete approbation."

The Emperor shared in the general satisfaction; and presented the impostors with the rebind of an order of knighthood, to be worn in their button-holes, and the title of "Gentlemen Weavers. "The rogues sat up the whole of the night before the day on which the procession was to take place, and had sixteen lights burning, so that everyone might see how anxious they were to finish the Emperor's new suit. They pretended to roll the cloth off the looms; cut the air with their scissors; and sewed with needles without any thread in them. "See!" cried them, at last."The Emperor's new clothes are ready!"And now the Emperor, with all the grandees of his court, came to the weavers; and the rogues raised their arms, as if in the act of holding something up, saying, "Here are your Majesty's trousers! Here is the scarf! Here is the mantle! The whole suit is as light as a cobweb; one might fancy one has nothing at all on, when dressed in it; that, however, is the great virtue of this delicate cloth." "If your Imperial Majesty will be graciously pleased to take off your clothes, we will fit on the new suit, in front of the looking glass."The Emperor was accordingly undressed, and the rogues pretended to array him in his new suit; the Emperor turning round, from side to side, before the looking glass."How splendid his Majesty looks in his new clothes, and how well they fit!" Everyone cried out. "What a design! What colors! These are indeed royal robes!"The canopy which is to be borne over your Majesty, in the procession, is waiting," announced the chief master of the ceremonies. "I am quite ready," answered the Emperor. "Do my new clothes fit well?" asked he, turning himself round again before the looking glass, in order that he might appear to be examining his handsome suit. The lords of the bedchamber, who were to carry his Majesty's train felt about on the ground, as if they were lifting up the ends of the mantle; and pretended to be carrying something; for they would by no means betray anything like simplicity, or unfitness for their office.So now the Emperor walked under his high canopy in the midst of the procession, through the streets of his capital; and all the people standing by, and those at the windows, cried out, "Oh! How beautiful are our Emperor's new clothes! What a magnificent train there is to the mantle; and how gracefully the scarf hangs!" in short, no one would allow that he could not see these much-admired clothes; because, in doing so, he would have declared himself either a simpleton or unfit for his office. Certainly, none of theEmperor's various suits had ever made so great an impression, as these invisible ones. "But the Emperor has nothing at all on!" said a little child."Listen to the voice of innocence!" exclaimed his father; and what the child had said was whispered from one to another."But he has nothing at all on!" at last cried out all the people. The Emperor was vexed, for he knew that the people were right; but he thought the procession must go on now! And the lords of the bedchamber took greater pains than ever, to appear holding up a train, although, in reality, there was no train to hold.。

The Emperor's New Clothes: A Reflectionon Vanity and TruthOnce upon a time, in a land far, far away, there reigned an emperor who was obsessed with fashion and allits fineries. He was so enamored with his wardrobe that he neglected the affairs of his kingdom, much to the dismay of his subjects. This emperor had a particular fondness for new clothes, and he would spend countless hours poring over designs and fabrics, dreaming of the latest trends.One day, two swindlers arrived at the palace, claiming to be tailors from a distant land who could create the most magnificent clothes imaginable. They boasted that these clothes were not just beautiful but also had a unique quality: they were invisible to those who were unfit for their positions, or simply not intelligent enough to appreciate them. The emperor, eager to possess such a remarkable garment, eagerly commissioned them to create a new wardrobe for him.Days passed, and the swindlers pretended to be busy at work, but in truth, they were simply sitting idle, enjoying the fine foods and wines provided by the palace. Meanwhile,the emperor sent his ministers to inspect the progress, but each one, fearing to be seen as unintelligent or unworthy, pretended to admire the nonexistent clothes, praising their beauty and elegance.Finally, the day arrived for the emperor to try on his new clothes. With great pomp and ceremony, he entered the chamber where the swindlers were waiting. But to his dismay, there were no clothes to be found. The swindlers, however, were quick to explain that the clothes were so exquisitethat only the emperor's keen eyes could see them. Embarrassed but unwilling to admit his folly, the emperor nodded and pretended to admire his reflection in the mirror, seeing only his bare skin.The emperor then paraded through the streets of his kingdom, displaying his "new clothes" to his subjects. Everyone, afraid of appearing foolish, praised theemperor's attire, even though they saw nothing but hisnaked body. It was a grand spectacle, with the emperor strutting his nonexistent finery, surrounded by a chorus of empty praise.However, among the crowd, there were a few children who were not afraid to speak the truth. They pointed and laughed, shouting out that the emperor had no clothes. This honest remark was like a pebble thrown into a still lake, causing ripples of realization to spread through the crowd. Gradually, the truth dawned on everyone, and the emperor realized the folly of his vanity.The emperor, red-faced and ashamed, returned to his palace, realizing the folly of his obsession with superficialities. He vowed to focus on the affairs of his kingdom and to no longer be swayed by such shallow pursuits. The swindlers, of course, had fled the palace by then, leaving behind only a wake-up call for the emperor and his subjects.The story of the Emperor's New Clothes is not just atale of folly and vanity but a profound reminder of the importance of truth and honesty. It teaches us that while external appearances and material possessions may seem alluring, they are ultimately hollow and meaninglesswithout the foundation of integrity and wisdom. It reminds us that we should not be swayed by the opinions of othersor the allure of superficialities, but instead, we should rely on our own judgment and seek truth and wisdom.Moreover, the story underscores the power of honestyand the courage it takes to speak the truth, even in the face of social pressure or fear of ridicule. The childrenin the story, unburdened by adult worries and prejudices, were able to see the emperor's nakedness and speak out without fear. Their honesty ultimately led to therevelation of the truth, showing that truth is oftensimpler and more powerful than any illusion.In conclusion, the Emperor's New Clothes is a timeless tale that continues to resonate with us today. It remindsus to be mindful of our own vanities and to strive for honesty and truth in all aspects of our lives. By doing so, we can avoid the pitfalls of superficiality and embrace a more meaningful and fulfilling existence.**皇帝的新衣:虚荣与真相的反思**从前,在一个遥远的地方,有一位皇帝,他痴迷于时尚和各种华服。

The Emperor’s New ClothesMany years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed (习惯)to say, "He is sitting in council," it was always said of him; "The Emperor is sitting in his wardrobe."Time passed merrily in the large town which was his capital; strangers arrived every day at the court. One day, two rogues, calling themselves weavers, made their appearance. They gave out that they knew how to weave stuffs of the most beautiful colors and elaborate patterns, the clothes manufactured from which should have the wonderful property of remaining invisible to everyone who was unfit for the office he held, or who was extraordinarily simple in character. "These must, indeed, be splendid clothes!" thought the Emperor. "Had I such a suit, I might at once find out what men in my realms are unfit for their office, and also be able to distinguish the wise from the foolish! This stuff must be woven for me immediately." And he caused large sums of money to be given to both the weavers in order that they might begin their work directly.So the two pretended weavers set up two looms, and affected to work very busily, though in reality they did nothing at all. They asked for the most delicate silk and the purest gold thread; put both into their own knapsacks; and then continued their pretended work at the empty looms until late at night. "I should like to know how the weavers are getting on with my cloth," said the Emperor to himself, after some little time had elapsed; he was, however, rather embarrassed, when he remembered that a simpleton, or one unfit for his office, would be unable to see the manufacture. To be sure, he thought he had nothing to risk in his own person; but yet, he would prefer sending somebody else, to bring him intelligence about the weavers, and their work, before he troubled himself in the affair. All the people throughout thecity had heard of the wonderful property the cloth was to possess; and all were anxious to learn how wise, or how ignorant, their neighbors might prove to be."I will send my faithful old minister to the weavers," said the Emperor at last, after some deliberation(考虑), "he will be best able to see how the cloth looks; for he is a man of sense, and no one can be more suitable for his office than he is."So the faithful old minister went into the hall, where the knaves were working with all their might, at their empty looms. "What can be the meaning of this?" thought the old man, opening his eyes very wide. "I cannot discover the least bit of thread on the looms." However, he did not express his thoughts aloud.The impostors(骗子)requested him very courteously(有礼貌地)to be so good as to come nearer their looms; and then asked him whether the design pleased him, and whether the colors were not very beautiful; at the same time pointing to the empty frames. The poor old minister looked and looked, he could not discover anything on the looms, for a very good reason, vise: there was nothing there. "What!" thought he again? "Is it possible that I am a simpleton(傻子)? I have never thought so myself; and no one must know it now if I am so. Can it be, that I am unfit for my office? No, that must not be said either. I will never confess that I could not see the stuff." "Well, Sir Minister!" said one of the knaves, still pretending to work. "You do not say whether the stuff pleases you." "Oh, it is excellent!" replied the old minister, looking at the loom through his spectacles. "This pattern, and the colors, yes, I will tell the Emperor without delay, how very beautiful I think them." "We shall be much obliged to you," said the impostors, and then they named the different colors and described the pattern of the pretended stuff. The old minister listened attentively to their words, in order that he might repeat them to the Emperor; and then the knaves asked for more silk and gold, saying that it was necessary to complete what they had begun. However, they put all that was given them into their knapsacks; and continued to work with as much apparent diligence as before at their empty looms.The Emperor now sent another officer of his court to see how the men were getting on, and to ascertain whether the cloth would soon be ready. It was just the same with this gentleman as with the minister; he surveyed the looms on all sides, butcould see nothing at all but the empty frames. "Does not the stuff appear as beautiful to you, as it did to my lord the minister?" asked the impostors of the Emperor's second ambassador; at the same time making the same gestures as before, and talking of the design and colors which were not there."I certainly am not stupid!" thought the messenger. "It must be, that I am not fit for my good, profitable office! That is very odd; however, no one shall know anything about it." And accordingly he praised the stuff he could not see, and declared that he was delighted with both colors and patterns. "Indeed, please you’re Imperial Majesty," said he to his sovereign when he returned, "the cloth which the weavers are preparing is extraordinarily magnificent."The whole city was talking of the splendid cloth which the Emperor had ordered to be woven at his own expense.And now the Emperor himself wished to see the costly manufacture, while it was still in the loom. Accompanied by a select number of officers of the court, among who were the two honest men who had already admired the cloth, he went to the crafty impostors, who, as soon as they were aware of the Emperor's approach, went on working more diligently than ever; although they still did not pass a single thread through the looms. "Is not the work absolutely magnificent?" said the two officers of the crown, already mentioned. "If your Majesty will only be pleased to look at it! What a splendid design! What glorious colors!" and at the same time they pointed to the empty frames; for they imagined that everyone else could see this exquisite piece of workmanship."How is this?" said the Emperor to himself. "I can see nothing! This is indeed a terrible affair! Am I a simpleton, or am I unfit to be an Emperor? That would be the worst thing that could happen--Oh! The cloth is charming," said he, aloud. "It has my complete approbation." And he smiled most graciously, and looked closely at the empty looms; for on no account would he say that he could not see what two of the officers of his court had praised so much. All his retinue now strained their eyes, hoping to discover something on the looms, but they could see no more than the others; nevertheless, they all exclaimed, "Oh, how beautiful!" and advised his majestyto have some new clothes made from this splendid material, for the approaching procession."Magnificent! Charming! Excellent!" resounded on all sides; and everyone was uncommonly gay. The Emperor shared in the general satisfaction; and presented the impostors with the rebind of an order of knighthood, to be worn in their button-holes, and the title of "Gentlemen Weavers. "The rogues sat up the whole of the night before the day on which the procession was to take place, and had sixteen lights burning, so that everyone might see how anxious they were to finish the Emperor's new suit. They pretended to roll the cloth off the looms; cut the air with their scissors; and sewed with needles without any thread in them. "See!" cried them, at last."The Emperor's new clothes are ready!"And now the Emperor, with all the grandees of his court, came to the weavers; and the rogues raised their arms, as if in the act of holding something up, saying, "Here are your Majesty's trousers! Here is the scarf! Here is the mantle! The whole suit is as light as a cobweb; one might fancy(想象)one has nothing at all on, when dressed in it; that, however, is the great virtue of this delicate cloth." "If your Imperial Majesty will be graciously pleased to take off your clothes, we will fit on the new suit, in front of the looking glass."The Emperor was accordingly undressed, and the rogues pretended to array(打扮)him in his new suit; the Emperor turning round, from side to side, before the looking glass."How splendid his Majesty looks in his new clothes, and how well they fit!" Everyone cried out. "What a design! What colors! These are indeed royal robes!""The canopy which is to be borne over your Majesty, in the procession, is waiting," announced the chief master of the ceremonies. "I am quite ready," answered the Emperor. "Do my new clothes fit well?" asked he, turning himself round again before the looking glass, in order that he might appear to be examining his handsome suit. The lords of the bedchamber, who were to carry his Majesty's train felt about on the ground, as if they were lifting up the ends of the mantle; and pretended to be carrying something; for they would by no means betray anything like simplicity, orunfitness for their office.So now the Emperor walked under his high canopy in the midst of the procession, through the streets of his capital; and all the people standing by, and those at the windows, cried out, "Oh!

八年级下册英语第六单元作文描述皇帝的新装全文共10篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Emperor's New ClothesHey guys, have you ever heard the story of the Emperor's New Clothes? Well, if you haven't, I'm here to tell you all about it!Once upon a time, there was an Emperor who loved to wear fancy clothes. He had a new outfit for every day of the week and he always wanted to look his best. One day, two clever weavers came to the Emperor's kingdom and told him that they could make him the most magnificent outfit in the world. The only catch was that the clothes were so special, only smart people could see them.The Emperor was excited and agreed to have the weavers make him the outfit. They pretended to weave invisible threads and acted like they were making the most amazing clothes ever. The Emperor couldn't see anything, but he didn't want to admit that he wasn't smart enough to see the clothes. So, he pretended that he could see them and praised the weavers for their work.Finally, the weavers presented the Emperor with his new outfit. Everyone in the kingdom gathered to see the clothes and they all pretended to see them too. The Emperor paraded around the kingdom in his invisible outfit, thinking he looked grand. But a young child in the crowd pointed out that the Emperor was actually wearing nothing at all!The Emperor realized he had been fooled and felt embarrassed. He learned that being honest and true to yourself is more important than trying to impress others with fancy clothes. And from that day on, he always wore his clothes with pride and humility.So, the moral of the story is, it's better to be honest and real than to pretend to be something you're not. And remember, it's not the clothes that make the person, but the person that makes the clothes!篇2One day, the Emperor decided to get new clothes made by the best tailor in the town. The tailor was famous for making the most beautiful clothes in the kingdom. The Emperor was very excited and couldn't wait to see his new outfit.The tailor started working on the clothes and told the Emperor that they were made with special fabric that only wise and intelligent people could see. The Emperor was amazed by this and couldn't wait to try on his new clothes.When the tailor presented the clothes to the Emperor, he couldn't see anything! But the tailor kept telling him how wonderful and magnificent he looked in them. The Emperor didn't want to admit that he couldn't see the clothes, so he pretended to admire them.The Emperor decided to wear his new clothes during a parade through the town. As he walked through the streets, everyone was amazed at how beautiful and luxurious his outfit was. They all praised him for his choice of clothes, even though they couldn't see anything either.But suddenly, a little boy in the crowd shouted, "The Emperor is naked! He's not wearing any clothes!" The people were shocked and realized that the Emperor had been tricked by the clever tailor.The Emperor felt embarrassed and ashamed, but he learned a valuable lesson about honesty and humility. From that day on, he vowed to always be true to himself and not be fooled by others.And the moral of the story is: don't believe everything you hear and always trust your own instincts. And don't forget to always wear clothes that you can actually see!篇3Once upon a time, there was an Emperor who loved wearing new clothes. He was always looking for the latest fashion trends and spent a lot of money on his wardrobe.One day, two clever tailors came to the Emperor's palace and told him that they could make him the most beautiful and magical clothes in the world. They claimed that these clothes could only be seen by people who were intelligent and wise, while fools would not be able to see them at all.Excited by the idea of having such special clothes, the Emperor agreed to let the tailors make them for him. The tailors started working on the clothes and pretended to weave the finest fabrics, but in reality, they didn't make anything at all.When the clothes were finished, they showed them to the Emperor. Of course, the Emperor couldn't see anything because there was nothing there. But he didn't want to admit that he couldn't see the clothes, so he pretended to admire them and even wore them for a grand parade through the city.As the Emperor walked through the streets, everyone cheered and praised his new clothes, not wanting to be seen as fools. But then, a little boy in the crowd shouted out, "The Emperor is wearing nothing at all!"At first, people were shocked, but then they realized that the boy was right. The Emperor had been tricked by the clever tailors. He quickly ran back to the palace, feeling embarrassed and foolish.From that day on, the Emperor learned that true beauty comes from within and not from fancy clothes. He vowed to never be fooled by appearances again.And the clever tailors? They disappeared from the city, never to be heard from again. The Emperor's new clothes may have been invisible, but the lesson he learned was clear for all to see.篇4Once upon a time, there was an emperor who loved clothes more than anything else in the world. He always wanted to wear the finest and most expensive clothes. One day, two clever tailors came to the emperor's palace and told him that they could make him the most beautiful and magical clothes he had ever seen.The emperor was very excited and immediately agreed to let the tailors make him new clothes. The tailors asked for the best silk and gold thread to make the clothes, but secretly they didn't make anything at all. They pretended to sew the clothes and told the emperor that they were using a special thread that only wise and good people could see.The emperor was very happy and couldn't wait to see his new clothes. When the tailors presented him with the invisible clothes, he couldn't see anything at first. But he didn't want to admit that he was a fool, so he pretended to admire the clothes and put them on.The emperor walked proudly through the streets in his new clothes, but all the people who saw him whispered to each other that the emperor was naked. Finally, a little boy shouted, "The emperor has no clothes on!"The emperor realized that he had been tricked and felt very ashamed. He learned that it is better to be honest and humble than to be proud and foolish. From that day on, he never cared about his clothes as much as he did before.And so, the emperor learned a valuable lesson and lived happily ever after. The end.篇5Once upon a time, there was an emperor in a faraway kingdom who was very fond of new clothes. He always wanted to look the best and be the most fashionable emperor in the land. One day, two cunning weavers came to the kingdom and promised to make the emperor the most beautiful and extravagant clothes he had ever seen.The weavers told the emperor that the fabric they would use was so special that only wise and intelligent people could see it. The emperor was thrilled at the idea of having such unique clothes and eagerly agreed to have the weavers make them for him.The weavers worked day and night, pretending to weave the fabric, but in reality, they were just pretending to work. Finally, they presented the emperor with his new clothes, which were, in fact, invisible. The emperor, not wanting to appear foolish or unfit to rule, pretended to see the clothes and praised the weavers for their incredible work.The emperor decided to wear his new clothes in a grand parade through the kingdom. As he walked through the streets, the people cheered and clapped, thinking that the emperorlooked truly magnificent in his new outfit. However, a small child in the crowd spoke up and said, "But the emperor is not wearing any clothes at all!"The people started to whisper and giggle, realizing that the child was right. The emperor, feeling embarrassed and foolish, quickly returned to his palace, realizing that he had been tricked by the cunning weavers.From then on, the emperor learned to be more careful and not to trust everything he was told. He also learned the valuable lesson that true beauty comes from within and that appearances can often be deceiving.And so, the emperor in the faraway kingdom became known not for his extravagant clothes, but for his wisdom and humility.篇6Once upon a time in a kingdom far, far away, there lived an emperor who loved new clothes. He was always looking for the newest and trendiest outfits to wear. One day, two cunning tailors came to the kingdom claiming that they could make clothes that were so fabulous, only wise people could see them.The emperor was intrigued and immediately commissioned the tailors to make him a new outfit. The tailors pretended to work day and night, cutting and sewing invisible fabric. They even asked for gold thread and expensive jewels to make the outfit look more magnificent.When the day came for the emperor to wear his new clothes, the tailors pretended to dress him in the invisible outfit. The emperor looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't see anything, but he didn't want to appear foolish. So he pretended to admire the outfit and walked through the streets of the kingdom, showing off his new clothes to his people.The people were amazed and whispered to each other about how wonderful the emperor's new clothes were. They didn't want to appear foolish either, so they all praised the outfit, even though they couldn't see anything. Only one little boy spoke up and said, "The emperor is naked! He has no clothes on!"Suddenly, the whole kingdom erupted in laughter as they realized the truth. The emperor blushed and ran back to his palace, feeling embarrassed and foolish. From that day on, he learned that true wisdom comes from honesty and humility, not from fancy clothes.And so, the emperor's new clothes became a lesson for everyone in the kingdom about the importance of seeing things for what they really are, rather than getting caught up in appearances. The end.篇7Once upon a time, there was an Emperor who loved new clothes more than anything else. He would spend hours looking for the most beautiful and expensive clothes to wear. One day, two clever weavers came to the palace and told the Emperor that they could make him the most magnificent suit of clothes he had ever seen.The weavers claimed that the clothes they were making were so special that only intelligent and worthy people could see them. The Emperor was thrilled at the idea of having such unique clothes and immediately agreed to have them made. The weavers started working on the clothes, but the Emperor couldn't help but wonder what they would look like.After a few days, the weavers claimed that the clothes were ready. They pretended to put the clothes on the Emperor, even though he couldn't see anything. The Emperor, not wanting toappear foolish, praised the clothes and said that they were the most beautiful he had ever worn.The Emperor decided to take a walk through the town to show off his new clothes. As he walked through the streets, the people whispered to each other, unsure of what they were seeing. Finally, a little boy spoke up and said, "The Emperor is naked! He's not wearing any clothes at all!"At first, the Emperor was embarrassed, but then he realized that the weavers had tricked him. He laughed at himself and learned an important lesson about not being fooled by appearances. From then on, the Emperor was more careful about what he believed and always made sure to think for himself.And so, the Emperor's new clothes became a lesson for everyone in the kingdom about the importance of honesty and intelligence. The end.篇8Once upon a time, there was an emperor who loved new clothes and fashion. He always wanted to wear the most beautiful and expensive clothes in the kingdom. One day, two clever tailors came to the emperor and claimed that they could make him the most magnificent outfit ever seen.The tailors told the emperor that the fabric they used was so special that only wise and intelligent people could see it. The emperor was excited and immediately agreed to have them make him a new suit.As the days went by, the tailors pretended to weave the fabric with their hands, but in reality, they didn't use any thread at all. The emperor and his ministers couldn't see anything on the loom, but they were too afraid to admit it because they didn't want to seem foolish.Finally, the tailors announced that the suit was ready. The emperor put on the invisible outfit and paraded through the streets of the kingdom. Everyone cheered and praised the emperor's new clothes, afraid to admit that they couldn't see anything.However, a small child in the crowd spoke up and said, "But the emperor is not wearing anything at all!"

And they all lived happily ever after. The end.篇10Once upon a time, there was an emperor who loved new clothes more than anything else in the world. He spent all his money on fancy outfits and never wore the same thing twice. One day, two clever tailors came to the emperor's palace and told him they could make him the most beautiful clothes in the world, clothes so special that only wise and intelligent people could see them.The emperor was thrilled and immediately agreed to have the tailors make him a new outfit. The tailors pretended to work day and night, cutting invisible fabric and sewing invisible threads. After a few days, they presented the emperor with hisnew clothes. The emperor couldn't see anything, but he didn't want to admit it because he didn't want to seem foolish.The emperor decided to wear his new clothes in a grand parade through the city. As he walked through the streets, all the people cheered and complimented him on his magnificent outfit. But one little boy in the crowd shouted, "The emperor is naked!"At first, everyone was shocked, but then they realized that the boy was right. The emperor was indeed walking through the city without any clothes on. The emperor felt embarrassed and ashamed, but he learned an important lesson that day. He realized that it's not the clothes that make a person special, but their character and actions.From that day on, the emperor stopped caring so much about his appearance and focused on being a good and kind leader instead. And the people in the city learned to value honesty and integrity over empty praise and flattery. And they all lived happily ever after. The end.。

八下英语作文皇帝的新装Title: The Emperor's New Clothes.Once upon a time, there was an emperor who loved new clothes more than anything else in the world. He would spend his entire fortune on the most extravagant and extravagant outfits, regardless of the cost. The emperor's passion for fashion was so well-known that word spread throughout the kingdom, attracting the attention of two clever swindlers.These swindlers were not ordinary merchants; they were experts at manipulating people's minds and exploiting their weaknesses. They knew that the emperor was obsessed with new clothes, so they decided to take advantage of this obsession and make a fortune.The swindlers arrived at the palace and presented themselves to the emperor as skilled tailors from a distant land. They claimed to have mastered the art of creating themost beautiful and unique clothes in the world, made from a rare and expensive fabric that could only be seen by those who were wise and intelligent.The emperor, eager to add to his collection of outfits, immediately agreed to their proposal. He ordered the swindlers to begin work on his new clothes and providedthem with all the resources they needed. The swindlers promised to deliver the finished garments within a few days.As the days passed, the emperor eagerly awaited the arrival of his new clothes. However, he was surprised to learn that the swindlers had not yet begun work on them. They claimed that they needed more time to perfect thefabric and ensure that it would only be visible to the emperor's wise and intelligent eyes.The emperor, eager to please, agreed to their requestfor more time. Meanwhile, the swindlers continued to enjoy the emperor's generosity and the lavish lifestyle they had become accustomed to.Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. The emperor became increasingly impatient and demanded to see the progress of his new clothes. The swindlers, however, always had an excuse ready. They claimed that the fabricwas so delicate and unique that it required special careand attention. They promised that the emperor would be completely satisfied with the final result.As the months passed, rumors began to spread throughout the kingdom about the emperor's new clothes. People whispered that the swindlers were not really creating any clothes at all and were just using the emperor's obsessionto their advantage.However, the emperor refused to believe these rumors.He trusted the swindlers implicitly and believed that they would deliver the most amazing clothes he had ever seen. He even ordered his ministers and advisors to remain silent about the rumors and not to question the swindlers' work.Finally, after many months of waiting, the swindlers announced that the emperor's new clothes were ready. Theyinvited him to a grand ceremony where he would be able to see them for the first time.The emperor, excited and eager, arrived at the ceremony. He was led to a room where the supposed new clothes were hanging. However, when he looked closely, he realized that there was nothing there. The room was empty except for afew empty hangers.The emperor was stunned and confused. He looked at the swindlers, expecting them to explain what had happened. However, the swindlers just smiled and said, "Your majesty, the clothes are invisible because only a wise andintelligent emperor can see them. Everyone else is too foolish to appreciate their beauty."The emperor, not knowing what else to do, nodded and pretended to be impressed. He ordered his ministers and advisors to praise the new clothes and declare them to be the most beautiful and unique garments ever created.The ceremony continued with the emperor parading aroundin his "new clothes," while everyone pretended to admire them. The swindlers smiled and congratulated themselves on their successful scam.However, the truth was eventually revealed. A young child who was at the ceremony pointed out that the emperor was naked. Everyone laughed and realized that they had all been fooled by the swindlers.The emperor was embarrassed and angry. He ordered the swindlers to be arrested and thrown into prison. He also realized that he had been foolish and had allowed himself to be manipulated by their lies and deceit.From that day forward, the emperor learned to be more cautious and less easily swayed by others. He also stopped spending so much money on new clothes and instead focused on more important matters, such as ruling his kingdom wisely and caring for his people.The story of the emperor's new clothes teaches us an important lesson about being cautious and not easily swayedby others. It also reminds us that appearance can be deceiving and that we should not judge people solely based on their outward appearance. Finally, it teaches us that it is important to be wise and intelligent, not just in our appearance, but also in our actions and decisions.。

皇帝的新装英语作文八下The Emperor's New Clothes.Once upon a time, there was an emperor who was obsessed with new clothes. He had a passion for fashion and would spend countless hours selecting the finest fabrics and designs. His wardrobe was filled with the most extravagant and extravagant costumes imaginable, yet he never seemed to be satisfied.One day, two swindlers arrived in the city and heard about the emperor's obsession with clothes. They knew this was their chance to make a fortune. The swindlers went to the palace and claimed to be the finest tailors in the world, saying that they could create the most magnificent clothes the emperor had ever seen.The emperor was intrigued. He immediately ordered the swindlers to begin work on his new outfit. The swindlers asked for the finest silk and the most expensive dyes,promising that the emperor would be the envy of all his subjects.As days turned into weeks, the swindlers worked tirelessly, but no one ever saw them produce any clothes. They claimed that their creations were so exquisite that only the emperor's noble and refined taste could appreciate them. They even claimed that the clothes were invisible to those who were not worthy enough to see them.The emperor, eager to see his new outfit, sent his most trusted advisor to investigate. The advisor found the swindlers busily working, but he saw no clothes. However, he was afraid to tell the emperor the truth, as he knew how passionate the emperor was about his clothes. So, he returned to the palace and lied, saying that the clothes were indeed magnificent and that the emperor would look stunning in them.Finally, the day of the grand parade arrived. The emperor, dressed in his "invisible" clothes, walked proudly through the streets, surrounded by his courtiers andsubjects. Everyone was silent, afraid to speak the truth. They knew that the emperor was naked, but no one dared to say so.Suddenly, a young child, who had just arrived in the city, burst out laughing. He pointed at the emperor and shouted, "The emperor is naked!" The crowd gasped, and then a collective giggle broke out. Everyone realized that the emperor was indeed naked, and they couldn't help but laugh at his folly.The emperor, realizing that he had been fooled, was mortified. He ordered the swindlers to be arrested and thrown into jail. He also realized that he had been blinded by his obsession with clothes and had allowed himself to be manipulated by the swindlers.From that day forward, the emperor changed his ways. He no longer cared about his clothes, and instead focused on governing his kingdom and caring for his subjects. He learned to value truth and wisdom over vanity and appearances.The story of the emperor's new clothes teaches us a valuable lesson about the importance of seeing things as they are, rather than as we want them to be. It reminds us that vanity and blind obsession can cloud our judgment and lead us to make foolish decisions. By embracing truth and wisdom, we can avoid falling victim to such schemes and instead focus on what really matters in life.。

The Emperor’s New ClothesMany years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theater or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed (习惯)to say, "He is sitting in council," it was always said of him; "The Emperor is sitting in his wardrobe."Time passed merrily in the large town which was his capital; strangers arrived every day at the court. One day, two rogues, calling themselves weavers, made their appearance. They gave out that they knew how to weave stuffs of the most beautiful colors and elaborate patterns, the clothes manufactured from which should have the wonderful property of remaining invisible to everyone who was unfit for the office he held, or who was extraordinarily simple in character. "These must, indeed, be splendid clothes!" thought the Emperor. "Had I such a suit, I might at once find out what men in my realms are unfit for their office, and also be able to distinguish the wise from the foolish! This stuff must be woven for me immediately." And he caused large sums of money to be given to both the weavers in order that they might begin their work directly.So the two pretended weavers set up two looms, and affected to work very busily, though in reality they did nothing at all. They asked for the most delicate silk and the purest gold thread; put both into their own knapsacks; and then continued their pretended work at the empty looms until late at night. "I should like to know how the weavers are getting on with my cloth," said the Emperor to himself, after some little time had elapsed; he was, however, rather embarrassed, when he remembered that a simpleton, or one unfit for his office, would be unable to see the manufacture. To be sure, he thought he had nothing to risk in his own person; but yet, he would prefer sending somebody else, to bring him intelligence about the weavers, and their work, before he troubled himself in the affair. All the people throughout thecity had heard of the wonderful property the cloth was to possess; and all were anxious to learn how wise, or how ignorant, their neighbors might prove to be."I will send my faithful old minister to the weavers," said the Emperor at last, after some deliberation(考虑), "he will be best able to see how the cloth looks; for he is a man of sense, and no one can be more suitable for his office than he is."So the faithful old minister went into the hall, where the knaves were working with all their might, at their empty looms. "What can be the meaning of this?" thought the old man, opening his eyes very wide. "I cannot discover the least bit of thread on the looms." However, he did not express his thoughts aloud.The impostors(骗子)requested him very courteously(有礼貌地)to be so good as to come nearer their looms; and then asked him whether the design pleased him, and whether the colors were not very beautiful; at the same time pointing to the empty frames. The poor old minister looked and looked, he could not discover anything on the looms, for a very good reason, vise: there was nothing there. "What!" thought he again? "Is it possible that I am a simpleton(傻子)? I have never thought so myself; and no one must know it now if I am so. Can it be, that I am unfit for my office? No, that must not be said either. I will never confess that I could not see the stuff." "Well, Sir Minister!" said one of the knaves, still pretending to work. "You do not say whether the stuff pleases you." "Oh, it is excellent!" replied the old minister, looking at the loom through his spectacles. "This pattern, and the colors, yes, I will tell the Emperor without delay, how very beautiful I think them." "We shall be much obliged to you," said the impostors, and then they named the different colors and described the pattern of the pretended stuff. The old minister listened attentively to their words, in order that he might repeat them to the Emperor; and then the knaves asked for more silk and gold, saying that it was necessary to complete what they had begun. However, they put all that was given them into their knapsacks; and continued to work with as much apparent diligence as before at their empty looms.The Emperor now sent another officer of his court to see how the men were getting on, and to ascertain whether the cloth would soon be ready. It was just the same with this gentleman as with the minister; he surveyed the looms on all sides, butcould see nothing at all but the empty frames. "Does not the stuff appear as beautiful to you, as it did to my lord the minister?" asked the impostors of the Emperor's second ambassador; at the same time making the same gestures as before, and talking of the design and colors which were not there."I certainly am not stupid!" thought the messenger. "It must be, that I am not fit for my good, profitable office! That is very odd; however, no one shall know anything about it." And accordingly he praised the stuff he could not see, and declared that he was delighted with both colors and patterns. "Indeed, please you’re Imperial Majesty," said he to his sovereign when he returned, "the cloth which the weavers are preparing is extraordinarily magnificent."The whole city was talking of the splendid cloth which the Emperor had ordered to be woven at his own expense.And now the Emperor himself wished to see the costly manufacture, while it was still in the loom. Accompanied by a select number of officers of the court, among who were the two honest men who had already admired the cloth, he went to the crafty impostors, who, as soon as they were aware of the Emperor's approach, went on working more diligently than ever; although they still did not pass a single thread through the looms. "Is not the work absolutely magnificent?" said the two officers of the crown, already mentioned. "If your Majesty will only be pleased to look at it! What a splendid design! What glorious colors!" and at the same time they pointed to the empty frames; for they imagined that everyone else could see this exquisite piece of workmanship."How is this?" said the Emperor to himself. "I can see nothing! This is indeed a terrible affair! Am I a simpleton, or am I unfit to be an Emperor? That would be the worst thing that could happen--Oh! The cloth is charming," said he, aloud. "It has my complete approbation." And he smiled most graciously, and looked closely at the empty looms; for on no account would he say that he could not see what two of the officers of his court had praised so much. All his retinue now strained their eyes, hoping to discover something on the looms, but they could see no more than the others; nevertheless, they all exclaimed, "Oh, how beautiful!" and advised his majestyto have some new clothes made from this splendid material, for the approaching procession."Magnificent! Charming! Excellent!" resounded on all sides; and everyone was uncommonly gay. The Emperor shared in the general satisfaction; and presented the impostors with the rebind of an order of knighthood, to be worn in their button-holes, and the title of "Gentlemen Weavers. "The rogues sat up the whole of the night before the day on which the procession was to take place, and had sixteen lights burning, so that everyone might see how anxious they were to finish the Emperor's new suit. They pretended to roll the cloth off the looms; cut the air with their scissors; and sewed with needles without any thread in them. "See!" cried them, at last."The Emperor's new clothes are ready!"And now the Emperor, with all the grandees of his court, came to the weavers; and the rogues raised their arms, as if in the act of holding something up, saying, "Here are your Majesty's trousers! Here is the scarf! Here is the mantle! The whole suit is as light as a cobweb; one might fancy(想象)one has nothing at all on, when dressed in it; that, however, is the great virtue of this delicate cloth." "If your Imperial Majesty will be graciously pleased to take off your clothes, we will fit on the new suit, in front of the looking glass."The Emperor was accordingly undressed, and the rogues pretended to array(打扮)him in his new suit; the Emperor turning round, from side to side, before the looking glass."How splendid his Majesty looks in his new clothes, and how well they fit!" Everyone cried out. "What a design! What colors! These are indeed royal robes!""The canopy which is to be borne over your Majesty, in the procession, is waiting," announced the chief master of the ceremonies. "I am quite ready," answered the Emperor. "Do my new clothes fit well?" asked he, turning himself round again before the looking glass, in order that he might appear to be examining his handsome suit. The lords of the bedchamber, who were to carry his Majesty's train felt about on the ground, as if they were lifting up the ends of the mantle; and pretended to be carrying something; for they would by no means betray anything like simplicity, orunfitness for their office.So now the Emperor walked under his high canopy in the midst of the procession, through the streets of his capital; and all the people standing by, and those at the windows, cried out, "Oh! How beautiful are our Emperor's new clothes! What a magnificent train there is to the mantle; and how gracefully the scarf hangs!" in short, no one would allow that he could not see these much-admired clothes; because, in doing so, he would have declared himself either a simpleton or unfit for his office. Certainly, none of the Emperor's various suits had ever made so great an impression, as these invisible ones. "But the Emperor has nothing at all on!" said a little child."Listen to the voice of innocence!" exclaimed his father; and what the child had said was whispered from one to another."But he has nothing at all on!" at last cried out all the people. The Emperor was vexed, for he knew that the people were right; but he thought the procession must go on now! And the lords of the bedchamber took greater pains than ever, to appear holding up a train, although, in reality, there was no train to hold.。
