The Snow Queen
《冰雪女王》
Chapter 1 The Magic Mirror There was once a wicked demon who made a magic mirror. This mirror made everything good look twisted and ugly. Anything bad looked even worse.
第一章 魔法镜 从前有个邪恶的恶魔,造出了一面魔法镜子。 这面镜子会把所有美好的东西都变得扭曲丑陋。 所有坏的东西则会变得更加糟糕。
It's a fine mirror, snarled the demon's students. Let's show it off to the angels. Flapping their leathery wings, they flew up and up until... Smash! The mirror slipped from their hands, crashed to the ground, and broke into a million tiny pieces.
"这镜子可太厉害啦。"恶魔的学生们恶狠狠地说道。 咱们拿去给天使们炫耀炫耀吧。 他们拍着皮革似的翅膀,飞啊飞啊,直到…… 哗啦! 镜子从他们手里滑出去,摔在地上,碎成了上百万个小碎片。
Some pieces were no bigger than a grain of sand, but they were as powerful as the whole mirror. If a speck flew into someone's eye, everything looked horrible and wrong. But if a splinter struck a person's heart, that heart began to freeze.
有些碎片还没一粒沙子大,可魔力和整面镜子一样强。 要是小碎片飞进人的眼睛里,他看什么都会变得可怕又不对劲。 要是碎片扎进人的心脏,那颗心就会开始结冰。
Chapter 2. Gerda and Kay. Not long after the mirror shattered, a girl named Gerda was living next door to a boy named Kay. In all the world, no two friends were as close.
第二章 格尔达和凯 镜子碎掉后不久,有个叫格尔达的女孩,和叫凯的男孩是邻居。 全世界再也找不到比他俩更要好的朋友了。
One winter's day, as snow was falling, Girda's grandmother told them the story of the Snow Queen. She lives in the icy north, but in winter she flies around, disguised as a snowflake. Beware of her, the grandmother warned. She's a wicked woman, but don't worry, she added. If your heart is pure, you'll always see the Queen for who she is. Snow Queen
一个下雪的冬日,格尔达的奶奶给他们讲了冰雪女王的故事。 她住在冰天雪地的北方,但冬天会假扮成雪花到处飞。 "要当心她哦,"奶奶提醒道,"她是个坏女人,不过别担心,"她补充说。 只要你们心地纯洁,就总能看清女王的真面目。 冰雪女王
