格列佛游记

It was the middle of winter. The snow was falling in flakes from the sky. A queen sat at her window and embroidered on an ebony frame. As she worked, she looked out on the snow and pricked her finger. When she saw three drops of blood fall, she said to herself,  "I would like to have a child as white as snow, as red as blood and as black as ebony."

　　Not long after that, she had a baby girl. Her skin was as white as snow, her lips were as red as blood and her hair was as black as ebony. So she was named Snow White. But the poor queen died as soon as the baby was born.

　　After a year, the king took another wife. She was very beautiful but so proud that she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. She had a magic mirror and often stood before it and said, "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of us all?"

　　And the mirror answered, "You are the most beautiful in the world."

　　Now, Snow White was growing prettier and prettier. When she was seven years old, she was much more beautiful than the queen. So one day the queen asked her mirror the usual question:

　　"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of us all?"

　　It answered,

　　"My queen, you are very beautiful, but Snow White is more beautiful than you."

　　This gave the queen a great shock, and she became jealous. At last she sent for a huntsman and said to him, "Take the girl to the woods and kill her. And bring me her heart."

　　But Snow White was so lovely that the huntsman felt sorry for her. "Go away, poor child," he said. "Never come home again."

　　Just then a young wild boar came running by, so he killed it, and brought its heart to the queen.

　　正是隆冬的时候。雪花片片从空中飘落。有一位皇后坐在窗边在黑檀木的框上刺绣。她刺绣时，望向外面的雪花而扎到手指。看到三滴血滴下来时，她自言自语道：『我希望生个像雪般白、血般红、黑檀木般黑的孩子。』

　　过了不久，她生下了一个女婴。婴儿的肌肤像雪一样白，嘴唇像血一样红，而头发像黑檀木一样黑。所以她就被取名为白雪公主。但是可怜的皇后在生下她后就去世了。

　　一年后，国王另娶。这位妻子很美，但却骄傲得一心想要成为世上最美的女人。她有一面魔镜，常站在魔镜前说：

　　『魔镜，魔镜，谁是世上最美的女人？』

　　魔镜回答说：『妳是世上最美的女人。』

　　此时，白雪公主愈长愈漂亮。七岁时，她就已经比皇后还美了。所以有一天皇后问魔镜同样的问题：

　　『魔镜，魔镜，谁是世上最美的女人？』

　　魔镜回答说：『皇后，妳固然美，但白雪公主比妳更美。』

　　这回答使皇后非常震惊，而且变得嫉妒起来。最后她找来一名猎人，对他说：『把这女孩带到树林里杀掉，并把她的心带回来给我。』

　　不过白雪公主实在太美丽了，就连猎人也为她觉得难过。他说：『走吧，可怜的孩子，永远不要再回来了。』

　　刚好这时有只小野猪经过，所以猎人就杀了它，把它的心带回去给皇后。

　　白雪公主只身在黑暗的森林里，心中充满恐惧，便拚命地跑，能跑多远就跑多远。
