精选格林童话故事:玫瑰公主
In past times there were a king and a queen, who said every day, "Oh, if only we had a child!" but they never received one.
Then it happened one day while the queen was sitting in her bath, that a frog crept out of the water onto the ground and said to her, "Your wish shall be fulfilled, and before a year passes you will bring a daughter into the world."
What the frog said did happen, and the queen gave birth to a girl who was so beautiful that the king could not contain himself for joy, and he ordered a great celebration. He invited not only his relatives, friends, and acquaintances, but also the wise women so that they would be kindly disposed toward the child. There were thirteen of them in his kingdom, but because he had only twelve golden plates from which they were to eat, one of them had to remain at home.
The feast was celebrated with great splendor, and at its conclusion the wise women presented the child with their magic gifts. The one gave her virtue, the second one beauty, the third one wealth, and so on with everything that one could wish for on earth.
The eleventh one had just pronounced her blessing when the thirteenth one suddenly walked in. She wanted to avenge herself for not having been invited, and without greeting anyone or even looking at them she cried out with a loud voice, "In the princess's fifteenth year she shall prick herself with a spindle and fall over dead." And without saying another word she turned around and left the hall.
Everyone was horrified, and the twelfth wise woman, who had not yet offered her wish, stepped foreward. Because she was unable to undo the wicked wish, but only to soften it, she said, "It shall not be her death. The princess will only fall into a hundred-year deep sleep."
The king, wanting to rescue his dear child, issued an order that all spindles in the entire kingdom should be burned. The wise women's gifts were all fulfilled on the girl, for she was so beautiful, well behaved, friendly, and intelligent that everyone who saw her had to love her.
Now it happened that on the day when she turned fifteen years of age the king and the queen were not at home, and the girl was all alone in the castle. She walked around from one place to the next, looking into rooms and chambers as her heart desired. Finally she came to an old tower. She climbed up the narrow, winding stairs and arrived at a small door. In the lock there was a rusty key, and when she turned it the door sprang open. There in a small room sat an old woman with a spindle busily spinning her flax.
"Good day, old woman," said the princess. "What are you doing there?"
"I am spinning," said the old woman, nodding her head.
"What is that thing that is so merrily bouncing about?" asked the girl, taking hold of the spindle, for she too wanted to spin.
She had no sooner touched the spindle when the magic curse was fulfilled, and she pricked herself in the finger. The instant that she felt the prick she fell onto a bed that was standing there, and she lay there in a deep sleep. And this sleep spread throughout the entire castle. The king and queen, who had just returned home, walked into the hall and began falling asleep, and all of their attendants as well. The horses fell asleep in their stalls, the dogs in the courtyard, the pigeons on the roof, the flies on the walls, and even the fire on the hearth flickered, stopped moving, and fell asleep. The roast stopped sizzling. The cook, who was about to pull kitchen boy's hair for having done something wrong, let him loose and fell asleep. The wind stopped blowing, and outside the castle not a leaf was stirring in the trees.
Round about the castle a thorn hedge began to grow, and every year it became higher, until it finally surrounded and covered the entire castle. Finally nothing at all could be seen of it, not even the flag on the roof.
A legend circulated throughout the land about the beautiful sleeping Little Brier-Rose, for so the princess was called. Legends also told that from time to time princes came, wanting to force their way through the hedge into the castle. However, they did not succeed, for the thorns held firmly together, as though they had hands, and the young men became stuck in them, could not free themselves, and died miserably.
Many long, long years later, once again a prince came to the country. He heard an old man telling about the thorn hedge. It was said that there was a castle behind it, in which a beautiful princess named Little Brier-Rose had been asleep for a hundred years, and with her the king and the queen and all the royal attendants were sleeping. He also knew from his grandfather that many princes had come and tried to penetrate the thorn hedge, but they had become stuck in it and died a sorrowful death.
Then the young man said, "I am not afraid. I will go there and see the beautiful Little Brier-Rose."
However much the good old man tried to dissuade him, the prince would not listen to his words.
The hundred years had just passed, and the day had come when Little Brier-Rose was to awaken. When the prince approached the thorn hedge, it was nothing but large, beautiful flowers that separated by themselves, allowing him to pass through without harm, but then behind him closed back into a hedge.
In the courtyard he saw the horses and spotted hunting dogs lying there asleep, and on the roof the pigeons, perched with their little heads tucked under they wings. When he walked inside the flies were asleep on the wall, the cook in the kitchen was still holding up his hand as if he wanted to grab the boy, and the maid was sitting in front of the black chicken that was supposed to be plucked. He walked further and saw all the attendants lying asleep in the hall, and above them near the throne the king and the queen were lying. He walked on still further, and it was so quiet that he could hear his own breath. Finally he came to the tower and opened the door to the little room where Little Brier-Rose was sleeping.
There she lay and was so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off her. He bent over and gave her a kiss. When he touched her with the kiss Little Brier-Rose opened her eyes, awoke, and looked at him kindly.
They went downstairs together, and the king awoke, and the queen, and all the royal attendants, and they looked at one another in amazement. The horses in the courtyard stood up and shook themselves. The hunting dogs jumped and wagged their tails. The pigeons on the roof pulled their little heads out from beneath their wings, looked around, and flew into the field. The flies on the walls crept about again. The fire in the kitchen rose up, broke into flames, and cooked the food. The roast began to sizzle once again. The cook boxed the boy's ears, causing him to cry, and the maid finished plucking the chicken.
And then the prince's marriage to Little Brier-Rose was celebrated with great splendor, and they lived happily until they died.
故事翻译:
从前有个巫师,装作穷人,挨家挨户地乞讨,而实际上他是碰到漂亮姑娘就抓。谁也说不上他把姑娘们抓到哪儿去了,因为他带走的姑娘没有一个回来过。
有一天,他来到一家人门口,这家人有三个漂亮的姑娘。他背着一个篮子,像是准备装人们施舍的东西,样子活像个身体虚弱、令人怜悯的乞丐。他求那家人给他点吃的,於是大女儿走了出来。巫师不用碰她,姑娘就会不自觉地跳进他的篮子,然后他就迈着大步朝密林深处自己的住所逃去。
他住处的一切摆设都是那么富丽堂皇,还给姑娘准备了她可能想到的每一样东西,他总是说:「亲爱的,你跟着我会过得很幸福的,因为你要甚么有甚么。」
过了几天,巫师对姑娘说:「我得出门办点事情,你得一个人在家呆两天。这是所有房门的钥匙。除了一间屋子外,其余你都可以看。这是那间禁室的钥匙,我不许任何人进去,否则就得死。」同时他还递给姑娘一个鸡蛋,说:「保管好鸡蛋,走到哪儿带到哪儿,要是丢了你就会倒大霉了。」
姑娘接过钥匙和鸡蛋,答应一切都照他的吩咐做。巫师走后,姑娘把屋子从楼下到楼上都看了个遍。所有房间都是金光闪闪的,姑娘从没见过这么多财富。最后她来到那间禁室,想走过去不看,可好奇心驱使她掏出了钥匙,想看看和其他的有甚么不同,於是将钥匙插进了锁孔。门「哗」地弹开了,她走了进去。你们想她看到了甚么?房间中央摆着一个血淋淋的大盆,里面全是砍成了碎片的人体;旁边是一块大木砧板,上面放着一把锋利闪亮的大斧子。她吓得连手里的鸡蛋都掉进盆里去了,结果上面的血斑怎么也擦不掉,她又是洗又是刮,还是没法去掉。
巫师不久就回来了。他要的第一件东西就是钥匙和鸡蛋。姑娘战战兢兢地将钥匙和鸡蛋递了过去,巫师从她那副表情和鸡蛋上的红点马上就知道她进过那间血腥的房间。「既然你违背了我的意愿进了那间屋子,现在我就要你违背自己的意愿再回到那里去,你死定了。」巫师说着就拽着姑娘的头发,一路拖着进了那间屠宰房,把她的头摁在砧板上砍了,把她的四肢也砍了,让血满地流淌,接着就把屍体扔进盆里和其他屍体放在一块儿。
「现在我该去把二姑娘弄来了。」巫师自言自语地说。他又装扮成可怜的乞丐,来到那家人家乞讨。这次是二姑娘拿了一块麵包给他,他只碰了姑娘一下就像抓大姑娘一样把她给抓住了。二姑娘的结局也不比大姑娘好,她也在好奇心的驱使下打开了屠宰室的门,看到了一切;然后在巫师回来时被同样杀害了。巫师又去抓第三个姑娘,她可比姐姐们聪明、狡猾多了。当巫师将钥匙和鸡蛋交给她,然后出门旅行时,她先是小心翼翼地把鸡蛋放稳妥,然后才开始检查各个房间,最后来到那间禁室。天哪!她都看到些甚么了?她的两位好姐姐双双躺在盆里,被残酷地谋杀了、肢解了。她开始将她们的肢体按顺序摆好:头、身体、胳膊和腿。甚么都不缺时,那些肢体开始移动,合到一起,两位姑娘睁开了眼睛,又活过来了。她们兴高采烈地互相亲吻、互相安慰。
巫师回来第一件事照例是要钥匙和鸡蛋。他左瞧右看找不出上面有血痕,於是说:「你经受了考验,你将是我的新娘。」这样一来,他不仅对姑娘没有任何魔力,而且不得不按照姑娘的吩咐去行事。「哦,真是太好了!」姑娘说,「你先得亲自扛一篮子金子去送给我父母,我则在家准备婚事。」说着就跑到姐姐们藏身的小房间,对她们说:「现在我可以救你们了,这坏蛋会亲自背你们回家。你们一到家就要找人来帮我。」她将两个姐姐放进篮子,上面盖上厚厚一层金子。然后对巫师说:「把篮子扛去吧。不过我会从小窗口看你一路是不是站下来偷懒。」
巫师扛起篮子就走,可篮子重得压弯了他的腰,汗水顺着面颊直往下淌。他刚想坐下来歇一歇,篮子里就有个姑娘在喊:「我从小窗口看到你在歇息了,马上起身走。」巫师以为是新娘子在说话,只好起身接着走。走了一会儿,他又想停下来歇息,立刻听到有人说:「我从小窗口看着你呢。你又停下来休息了,你就不能一直走回去吗?」每当他站在那里不动时,这个声音就会又喊起来,他又不得不继续前进,最后终於扛着两个姑娘和一大堆金子气喘嘘嘘地来到姑娘父母家中。
再说三姑娘在巫师家里一边准备婚宴一边给巫师的朋友们发请贴。她准备了一个咧嘴露牙的骷髅,给它戴上花环,装饰了一下,然后将它放到阁楼上的小窗口前,让它从那里往外看着。等这些事情都做完了,姑娘跳进一桶蜂蜜,然后把羽毛床划开,自己在上面滚,直到浑身都粘满了毛,人像只奇异的鸟,谁都认不出她了为止。她走到外面,一路上都碰到来参加婚礼的客人。他们问她:
「费切尔怪鸟,你怎么到的这里?」
「从附近的费切尔的家走来的。」
「年轻的新娘在干甚么?」
「她把楼下楼上已打扫得整齐乾净,我想,这会儿正从窗口向外张望。」
最后,她碰到了正慢慢向家走的新郎。他也一样问道:
「费切尔怪鸟,你怎么到的这里?」
「从附近的费切尔家走来的。」
「年轻的新娘在干甚么?」
「她把楼下楼上已打扫得整齐乾净,我想,这会儿正从窗口向外张望。」
新郎抬头一望,看见了那个打扮起来的骷髅,以为那就是他的新娘,便向它点头,很亲热地和它打招呼。可当他和客人们走进屋子时,被派来救新娘的兄弟和亲戚也赶到了,他们把屋子的门全部锁上,不让一个人逃出来,然后点起火来,把巫师和他的那帮人全部烧死了。
故事翻译:
以前,有个国王和王后一直没有孩子,他们为此非常伤心苦恼。有一天,王后正在河边散步,一条小鱼把头浮出水面对她说:「你的愿望就会实现了,不久你就会生下一个女儿的。」过了一段时间,那条小鱼所预言的情况真的实现了,王后真的生下了一个非常漂亮的女儿。国王高兴得时时刻刻爱不释手,决定举行一个大型宴会。他不仅邀请了他的亲戚、朋友和外宾,而且邀来了几乎所有的女巫师,让她们为他的女儿送来善良美好的祝愿。他的王国里一共有十三个女巫师,而他只有十二个金盘子来招待她们进餐,所以他只邀请了十二个女巫师,留下一个没有邀请。
盛大的宴会结束后,各位来宾都给这个小公主送上了最好的礼物。女巫师们一个送给她美德,另一个送给她美貌,还有一个送给她富有,她们把世人所希望的,世上所有的优点和期盼都送给了她。当第十一个女巫师刚刚为她祝福之后,第十三个女巫师,也就是那个没有被邀请的女巫师走了进来,她对没有被邀请感到非常愤怒,她要对此进行报复,要献上她恶毒的咒语。所以她进来后就大声叫道:「国王的女儿在十五岁时会被一个纺锤弄伤,最后死去。」所有在场的人都大惊失色。可是第十二个女巫师还没有献上她的礼物,便走上前来说:「这个凶险的咒语的确会应验,但公主能够化险为夷。她不会死去,而只是昏睡过去,而且一睡就是一百年。」
国王为了不使他的女儿遭到那种不幸,命令将王国里的所有纺锤都收上来,又把它们全部销毁。随着时间的流逝,女巫师们的所有祝福都在公主身上应验了:她聪明美丽,性格温柔,举止优雅,真是人见人爱。但恰恰在她十五岁的那一天,国王和王后都不在家,公主单独一个人被留在王宫里。她在宫里到处穿来穿去,大小房间都看完了,最后,她来到了一个古老的宫楼。宫楼里面有一座很狭窄的楼梯,楼梯尽头有一扇门,门上插着一把金钥匙。当她转动金钥匙时,门一下子就弹开了,一个老太婆坐在里面在忙着纺纱。公主见了说道:「喂!老妈妈,您好!您这是在干甚么呀?」「纺纱。」老太婆回答说,接着又点了点头。「这小东西转起来真有意思!」说着,公主上前也想拿起纺锤纺纱,但她刚一碰到它,立即就倒在地上失去了知觉,以前的咒语真的应验了。
然而,她并没有死,只是倒在那里沉沉地睡去了。国王和王后正在这时回来了,他们刚走进大厅也跟着睡着了;马厩里的马,院子里的狗,屋顶上的鸽子,墙上的苍蝇,也都跟着睡着了;甚至连火炉里的火也停止燃烧入睡了;烧烤的肉不炸响了;厨师此刻正抓住一个做错了事的童工的头发,要给他一耳光,让他滚出去,他们两个也定在那儿睡过去了。所有的一切都不动了,全都沉沉地睡去。
不久,王宫的四周长出了一道蒺藜组成的大篱笆,年复一年,它们越长越高,越长越茂密,最后竟将整座宫殿遮得严严实实,甚至连屋顶和烟囱也看不见了。
於是,关於这个王国流传开了这样一个传说,一个漂亮的正在睡觉的玫瑰公主的传说,人们所说的玫瑰公主其实就是国王的女儿。从那以后,有不少王子来探险,他们披荆斩棘想穿过树篱到王宫里去,但都没有成功,不是被蒺藜缠住就是被树丛跘倒在里面,就像是有无数只手牢牢地抓住他们难以脱身一样,他们最终都痛苦地死去。
许多许多年过去了,一天,又有一位王子踏上了这块土地。一位老大爷向他讲起了蒺藜树丛的故事,说树篱之内有一座漂亮的王宫,王宫里有一位仙女般的公主,她的名字叫玫瑰公主,她和整座王宫及里面的人都在沉睡。他还说,他曾听他的爷爷谈起有许许多多的王子来过这儿,他们都想穿过树篱,但都被缠在里面死去了。听了这些,这位王子说:「所有这些都吓不倒我,我要看玫瑰公主去!」老人劝他不要去试,可他却坚持要去。
这天,时间正好过去了一百年,所以当王子来到树篱丛时,他看到的全是盛开着美丽花朵的灌木,他很轻松地就穿过了树篱。随着他在前面走,身后树篱又密密地合拢了。最后,他到达了王宫,看见大院内狗躺在那儿沉睡,马厩里的马在沉睡,屋顶上的鸽子将头埋在翅膀下沉睡。他走进王宫内,看见墙上的苍蝇在沉睡,厨房里的厨师向上举着手,似乎是要打那童工一耳光,一个女仆手里抓着一只黑母鸡准备拔毛。
他继续向里寻去,一切都静得出奇,连自己的呼吸都清晰可闻。终於,他来到古老的宫楼,推开了玫瑰公主在的那个小房间的门。玫瑰公主睡得正香,她是那么美丽动人,他瞪大眼睛,连眨也舍不得眨一下,看着看着,禁不住俯下身去吻了她一下。就这一吻,玫瑰小姐一下子苏醒过来,她张开双眼,微笑着充满深情地注视着他,王子抱着她一起走出了宫楼。
此刻,国王和王后也醒过来了,王宫里所有的人都醒过来了。他们怀着极大的好奇心互相凝视着,似乎还不明白到底发生了甚么事情。马站了起来,摇摆着身体;狗儿欢跳不止,汪汪吠叫;鸽子由翅膀下抬起了头,昂首四顾,振翅飞向田野;墙上的苍蝇嗡嗡地飞了开去;厨房里的火又窜起了火苗开始烧饭,烧烤的肉又吱吱作响;厨师怒吼着扇了童工一个耳光;女仆继续给鸡拔毛,一切都恢复了往日的模样。不久,王子和玫瑰公主举行了盛大的结婚典礼,他们幸福欢乐地生活在一起,一直白头到老。
精选格林童话故事:费切尔的怪鸟
Once upon a time there was a sorcerer who disguised himself as a poor man, went begging from house to house, and captured beautiful girls. No one knew where he took them, for none of them ever returned.
One day he came to the door of a man who had three beautiful daughters. He appeared to be a poor, weak beggar, and he carried a pack basket on his back, as though he wanted to collect some benevolent offerings in it. He asked for a bit to eat, and when the oldest daughter came out to give him a piece of bread, he simply touched her, and she was forced to jump into his pack basket. Then he hurried away with powerful strides and carried her to his house, which stood in the middle of a dark forest.
Everything was splendid in the house, and he gave her everything that she wanted. He said, "My dear, you will like it here with me. You will have everything that your heart desires."
So it went for a few days, and then he said to her, "I have to go away and leave you alone for a short time. Here are the house keys. You may go everywhere and look at everything except for the one room that this little key here unlocks. I forbid you to go there on the penalty of death."
He also gave her an egg, saying, "Take good care of this egg. You should carry it with you at all times, for if you should loose it great misfortune would follow."
She took the keys and the egg, and promised to take good care of everything.
As soon as he had gone she walked about in the house from top to bottom examining everything. The rooms glistened with silver and gold, and she thought that she had never seen such splendor.
Finally she came to the forbidden door. She wanted to pass it by, but curiosity gave her no rest. She examined the key. It looked like any other one. She put it into the lock and twisted it a little, and then the door sprang open.
What did she see when she stepped inside? A large bloody basin stood in the middle, inside which there lay the cut up parts of dead girls. Nearby there was a wooden block with a glistening ax lying on it.
She was so terrified that the egg, which she was holding in her hand, fell into the basin. She got it out again and wiped off the blood, but it was to no avail, for it always came back. She wiped and scrubbed, but she could not get rid of the stain.
Not long afterward the man returned from his journey, and he immediately asked for the key and the egg. She handed them to him, shaking all the while, for he saw from the red stain that she had been in the blood chamber.
"You went into that chamber against my will," he said, "and now against your will you shall go into it once again. Your life is finished."
He threw her down, dragged her by her hair into the chamber, cut off her head on the block, then cut her up into pieces, and her blood flowed out onto the floor. Then he threw her into the basin with the others.
"Now I will go get the second one," said the sorcerer, and, again disguised as a poor man, he went to their house begging.
The second sister brought him a piece of bread, and, as he had done to the first one, he captured her by merely touching her, and he carried her away. It went with her no better than it had gone with her sister. She let herself be led astray by her curiosity, opened the blood chamber and looked inside. When he returned she paid with her life.
Then he went and captured the third sister, but she was clever and sly. After he had given her the keys and the egg, and had gone away, she carefully put the egg aside, and then examined the house, entering finally the forbidden chamber.
Oh, what she saw! He two dear sisters were lying there in the basin, miserably murdered and chopped to pieces. In spite of this she proceeded to gather their parts together, placing them back in order: head, body, arms, and legs. Then, when nothing else was missing, the parts began to move. They joined together, and the two girls opened their eyes and came back to life. Rejoicing, they kissed and hugged one another.
When the man returned home he immediately demanded the keys and the egg, and when he was unable to detect any trace of blood on them, he said, "You have passed the test. You shall be my bride."
He now had no more power over her and had to do whatever she demanded.
"Good," she answered, "but first you must take a basketful of gold to my father and mother. You yourself must carry it there on your back. In the meanwhile I shall make preparations for the wedding."
Then she ran to her sisters, whom she had hidden in a closet, and said, "The moment is here when I can rescue you. The evildoer himself shall carry you home. As soon as you have arrived at home send help to me."
She put them both into a basket, then covered them entirely with gold, so that nothing could be seen of them.
Then she called the sorcerer in and said, "Now carry this basket away, but you are not to stop and rest underway. Take care, for I shall be watching you through my little window."
The sorcerer lifted the basket onto his back and walked away with it. However, it pressed down so heavily on him that the sweat ran from his face. He sat down, wanting to rest, but immediately one of the girls in the basket called out, "I am looking through my little window, and I can see that you are resting. Walk on!"
He thought that his bride was calling to him, so he got up again. Then he again wanted to sit down, but someone immediately called out, "I am looking through my little window, and I can see that you are resting. Walk on!"
Every time that he stopped walking, someone called out, and he had to walk on until, groaning and out of breath, he brought the basket with the gold and the two girls to their parents' house.
At home the bride was making preparations for the wedding feast, to which she had had the sorcerer's friends invited. Then she took a skull with grinning teeth, adorned it with jewelry and with a wreath of flowers, carried it to the attic window, and let it look out.
When everything was ready she dipped herself into a barrel of honey, then cut open the bed and rolled around in it until she looked like a strange bird, and no one would have been able to recognize her. Then she walked out of the house.
Underway some of the wedding guests met her, and they asked, "You, Fitcher's bird, where are you coming from?"
"I am coming from Fitcher's house."
"What is his young bride doing there?"
"She has swept the house from bottom to top, and now she is looking out of the attic window."
Finally her bridegroom met her. He was slowly walking back home, and, like the others, he asked, "You, Fitcher's bird, where are you coming from?"
"I am coming from Fitcher's house."
"What is my young bride doing there?"
"She has swept the house from bottom to top, and now she is looking out of the attic window."
The bridegroom looked up. Seeing the decorated skull, he thought it was his bride, and he waved a friendly greeting to her.
After he and all his guests had gone into the house, the bride's brothers and relatives arrived. They had been sent to rescue her. After closing up all the doors of the house so that no one could escape, they set it afire, and the sorcerer, together with his gang, all burned to death.
