译文：

皇帝的新装 （1）

有一个皇帝，他喜欢各种各样漂亮的衣服。他花了大量的钱买漂亮的衣服。他不关心他的人民，国家和军队。每天，他都要换很多衣服，然后到大街上炫耀。如果有人问：皇帝在哪儿？大臣们会说：在更衣室。

一天，来了两个骗子，他们告诉皇帝：他们能织出最好的布，并且有最漂亮的图案。这种布还有一个神奇的功能：愚蠢的人看不见他。 皇帝想：这正是我喜欢的布。我可以用这块布分辨谁是聪明的，谁是愚蠢的。于是，他给了这两个骗子很多钱，并告诉他们马上开始。城里的人们都听说了这块布，他们都想看一下这块神奇的布，并检验一下他们是否愚蠢。两个骗子弄来了两台纺织机器，假装在机器上纺织。他们向国王要了很多丝绸和黄金，但是这些东西都进了他们的口袋。
