王后因为嫉妒白雪公主的美貌,作出了伤害别人的决定。
wáng hòu yīn wèi jí dù bái xuě gōng zhǔ de měi mào, zuò chū le shāng hài bié rén de jué dìng。
Because the queen envies Snow White's beauty, she makes a decision that harms another person.
猎人没有服从命令,而是让白雪公主逃进森林。
liè rén méi yǒu fú cóng mìng lìng, ér shì ràng bái xuě gōng zhǔ táo jìn sēn lín。
The hunter does not obey the order and instead lets Snow White escape into the forest.
她独自在森林里走了很久,终于看见一间小屋。
tā dú zì zài sēn lín lǐ zǒu le hěn jiǔ, zhōng yú kàn jiàn yì jiān xiǎo wū。
She walks alone through the forest for a long time and finally sees a small cottage.
小屋的主人听完她的经历,决定暂时收留她。
xiǎo wū de zhǔ rén tīng wán tā de jīng lì, jué dìng zàn shí shōu liú tā。
After hearing what happened to her, the owners of the house decide to shelter her for a while.
王后改变外表进行伪装,使白雪公主没有认出她。
wáng hòu gǎi biàn wài biǎo jìn xíng wěi zhuāng, shǐ bái xuě gōng zhǔ méi yǒu rèn chū tā。
The queen disguises herself by changing her appearance, so Snow White does not recognise her.
白雪公主苏醒以后,大家才放下心来。
bái xuě gōng zhǔ sū xǐng yǐ hòu, dà jiā cái fàng xià xīn lái。
Only after Snow White wakes up does everyone feel relieved.
在一座童话中的王宫里,白雪公主渐渐长大,新的王后却总是对着魔镜比较自己的容貌,把别人的美看成对自己的威胁。
zài yí zuò tóng huà zhōng de wáng gōng lǐ, bái xuě gōng zhǔ jiàn jiàn zhǎng dà, xīn de wáng hòu què zǒng shì duì zhe mó jìng bǐ jiào zì jǐ de róng mào, bǎ bié rén de měi kàn chéng duì zì jǐ de wēi xié。
In a fairy-tale palace, Snow White grows up while the new queen compares appearances in a magic mirror and treats another person's beauty as a threat.
当魔镜说白雪公主更美时,王后没有反省自己的嫉妒,反而叫猎人把姑娘带进森林,企图让她从此不能回到王宫。
dāng mó jìng shuō bái xuě gōng zhǔ gèng měi shí, wáng hòu méi yǒu fǎn xǐng zì jǐ de jí dù, fǎn ér jiào liè rén bǎ gū niáng dài jìn sēn lín, qǐ tú ràng tā cóng cǐ bù néng huí dào wáng gōng。
When the mirror names Snow White as more beautiful, the queen sends a hunter to take her into the forest so she cannot return.
猎人看见姑娘害怕的样子,不愿执行残忍的命令,便让她逃走,白雪公主只好沿着陌生的小路寻找可以暂时休息的地方。
liè rén kàn jiàn gū niáng hài pà de yàng zi, bù yuàn zhí xíng cán rěn de mìng lìng, biàn ràng tā táo zǒu, bái xuě gōng zhǔ zhǐ hǎo yán zhe mò shēng de xiǎo lù xún zhǎo kě yǐ zàn shí xiū xi de dì fang。
The hunter refuses the cruel order and lets her escape; she follows unfamiliar paths in search of a resting place.
傍晚,她发现一间小屋,屋里的小桌子上摆着七套餐具,旁边还有七张小床,她吃了一点食物,疲倦得很快睡着了。
bàng wǎn, tā fā xiàn yì jiān xiǎo wū, wū lǐ de xiǎo zhuō zi shàng bǎi zhe qī tào cān jù, páng biān hái yǒu qī zhāng xiǎo chuáng, tā chī le yì diǎn shí wù, pí juàn de hěn kuài shuì zháo le。
At dusk she finds a cottage with seven place settings and seven beds, eats a little food and soon falls asleep from exhaustion.
七个小矮人回家以后听了她的经历,决定收留她,又提醒她不要随便开门,于是这间小屋成了她暂时躲避危险的住处。
qī gè xiǎo ǎi rén huí jiā yǐ hòu tīng le tā de jīng lì, jué dìng shōu liú tā, yòu tí xǐng tā bú yào suí biàn kāi mén, yú shì zhè jiān xiǎo wū chéng le tā zàn shí duǒ bì wēi xiǎn de zhù chù。
The seven dwarfs hear her story, offer shelter and warn her against opening the door casually, making the cottage a temporary refuge.
小矮人把椅子拉过来,请她坐下。姑娘一边说,一边擦去脸上的泪水。屋外已经暗了,屋里却有灯和温热的饭,她第一次觉得自己不用继续在森林里奔跑。
xiǎo ǎi rén bǎ yǐ zi lā guò lái, qǐng tā zuò xià。 gū niáng yì biān shuō, yì biān cā qù liǎn shàng de lèi shuǐ。 wū wài yǐ jīng àn le, wū lǐ què yǒu dēng hé wēn rè de fàn, tā dì yī cì jué de zì jǐ bù yòng jì xù zài sēn lín lǐ bēn pǎo。
The dwarfs offered a chair. She wiped away tears as she spoke. Outside was dark, but inside were light and warm food; she no longer had to run through the forest.
王后从魔镜那里得知姑娘还活着,便换上陌生人的衣服来到小屋,用亲切的声音推销一根带子,把自己的恶意藏在笑容后面。
wáng hòu cóng mó jìng nà lǐ dé zhī gū niáng hái huó zhe, biàn huàn shàng mò shēng rén de yī fú lái dào xiǎo wū, yòng qīn qiè de shēng yīn tuī xiāo yì gēn dài zi, bǎ zì jǐ de è yì cáng zài xiào róng hòu miàn。
The queen learns that Snow White lives, disguises herself and sells a ribbon in a friendly voice, concealing malice behind a smile.
白雪公主相信了她,带子却使她不能呼吸,幸好小矮人回来及时剪断带子,姑娘才醒来,但王后并没有因此放弃伤害她的计划。
bái xuě gōng zhǔ xiāng xìn le tā, dài zi què shǐ tā bù néng hū xī, xìng hǎo xiǎo ǎi rén huí lái jí shí jiǎn duàn dài zi, gū niáng cái xǐng lái, dàn wáng hòu bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ fàng qì shāng hài tā de jì huà。
Snow White trusts her and cannot breathe because of the ribbon; the dwarfs cut it in time, but the queen continues her plan.
第二次,王后拿来一个有毒的苹果,姑娘刚吃一口便倒下,小矮人回来后十分悲伤,想尽办法也没能立刻让她重新睁开眼睛。
dì èr cì, wáng hòu ná lái yí ge yǒu dú de píng guǒ, gū niáng gāng chī yì kǒu biàn dǎo xià, xiǎo ǎi rén huí lái hòu shí fēn bēi shāng, xiǎng jìn bàn fǎ yě méi néng lì kè ràng tā chóng xīn zhēng kāi yǎn jīng。
The queen next brings a poisoned apple; Snow White collapses after a bite and the grieving dwarfs cannot immediately revive her.
王子派人抬走姑娘时,路上的震动使卡在喉咙里的苹果块掉出来,她终于睁开眼睛,重新看见身边的世界。
wáng zǐ pài rén tái zǒu gū niáng shí, lù shàng de zhèn dòng shǐ kǎ zài hóu long lǐ de píng guǒ kuài diào chū lái, tā zhōng yú zhēng kāi yǎn jīng, chóng xīn kàn jiàn shēn biān de shì jiè。
While the prince’s men carry her, jolting dislodges the piece of apple in her throat, and she opens her eyes to the world again.
小矮人一个接一个来到她身边,惊喜地叫她的名字。姑娘慢慢坐起来,先摸摸自己的脸,再向那些熟悉的面孔伸出手。
xiǎo ǎi rén yí ge jiē yí ge lái dào tā shēn biān, jīng xǐ de jiào tā de míng zi。 gū niáng màn màn zuò qǐ lái, xiān mō mō zì jǐ de liǎn, zài xiàng nà xiē shú xī de miàn kǒng shēn chū shǒu。
One by one, the dwarfs joyfully called her name. She sat up, touched her face and reached towards the familiar companions.
王子告诉她事情的经过,她想到帮助过自己的小矮人,便向他们道谢,也决定不再独自面对王后的欺骗。
wáng zǐ gào su tā shì qíng de jīng guò, tā xiǎng dào bāng zhù guò zì jǐ de xiǎo ǎi rén, biàn xiàng tā men dào xiè, yě jué dìng bù zài dú zì miàn duì wáng hòu de qī piàn。
The prince explains; she thanks the dwarfs who helped her and resolves not to face the queen’s deception alone again.
后来,她与王子结婚,小矮人也来到庆祝的地方,桌边的笑声与森林里的寂静已经很不一样。
hòu lái, tā yǔ wáng zǐ jié hūn, xiǎo ǎi rén yě lái dào qìng zhù de dì fang, zhuō biān de xiào shēng yǔ sēn lín lǐ de jì jìng yǐ jīng hěn bù yí yàng。
Later she marries the prince; the dwarfs join the celebration, whose laughter differs greatly from the forest’s silence.
姑娘再次想起小屋里七张小床和七只小碗,那些普通的东西曾经给她一个能够安心停留的地方。
gū niáng zài cì xiǎng qǐ xiǎo wū lǐ qī zhāng xiǎo chuáng hé qī zhǐ xiǎo wǎn, nà xiē pǔ tōng de dōng xi céng jīng gěi tā yí ge néng gòu ān xīn tíng liú de dì fang。
She remembers the cottage’s seven beds and bowls, ordinary things that once gave her a safe refuge.
