安徒生童話精選（英文版）

看英文版的才發現不僅故事好，語言也很優美，常常合轍押韻充滿詩意，我們的童話翻譯似乎不太在意這方面

我已經二十歲了，似乎再也無法進入安徒生的童話世界了！但英文版提供了一個奇妙的距離和語感，使我如孩童般深深沉浸其中！

練聽力的嘗試，希望日積月累有結果

只要你是一隻天鵝蛋🥚，就算生在養鴨場裏又有什麼關係呢？是金子總會發光的！2020.3.19 安徒生的童話和小王子一樣，其實都是在童話故事裏面帶着很豐富的人生哲理，讀讀童話，守護我們內心那一塵不染的天真與單純！ 一隻天鵝蛋在鴨羣中破殼了，但因爲這隻小天鵝長得很醜，不但沒有被鴨羣接受，挨啄、被排擠、被訕笑，而且在雞羣中也是這樣。他因此覺得很自卑，因爲自己長得那麼醜陋，成了全體雞鴨的嘲笑對象，連他的親人們也排擠他。無奈之下，醜小鴨飛過籬笆逃走了。有一次，他遇到了一隻獵狗，但那隻獵狗只是聞聞他，並沒有把他抓住。他暗自慶幸，“我醜得連獵狗也不敢咬我了！”他爲自己逃生而慶幸，同時爲自己長得醜而懊喪。在這以後，醜小鴨遇到了很多磨難。後來，對美好大自然、美好生活的嚮往與追求驅使着醜小鴨不再依靠別人生活。有一天，三隻美麗的白天鵝從樹陰裏一直游到他面前來，小鴨認出了這些美麗的動物，於是心裏感到一種說不出的難過。小鴨感到自己要遊向他們，就算他們把自己弄死也沒關係，因爲他有一顆追求美的心。但他在水裏看到的是什麼呢，不再是那隻醜陋的小鴨了，而是——一隻美麗的天鵝！

這本書，是不是很多經典的安徒生童話都沒有收錄？🤨 打一般的原因之一。(不過反過來想，也好，看一些安徒生比較冷門的童話)。安徒生童話，動不動就church 、church bell 、god ……很好，纔想起，安徒生是虔誠的基督徒，再結合他的人生經歷，難怪是虔誠基督徒了.……去搜索“安徒生 基督徒”，會出來非常多基督教公衆號推安徒生……所以安徒生童話，起碼我跳着挑一些來看的，看到想棄書，簡直是宗教寓言以及宗教安利書……尤其是第四個故事：ANNE LISBETH ，滿滿宗教懺悔故事.....還長……(其實前面3個故事就看得我想棄書😂😂同樣的原因，宗教味道太濃)。另外，說是英文版，安徒生童話原版是丹麥語 + 一點德語，英文版是誰、什麼時候翻譯的？而且，有刪減和改寫嗎？/而且看到某個基督教微信公衆號說，安徒生哪些哪些故事、哪一句，是出自聖經哪些章節、哪一句等等。/還有一點，安徒生童話離現在，有200年了嗎？多少還是要結合當時的歷史背景來看的……/因爲聽說安徒生童話是黑童話，所以來找原版看，好，原版是丹麥語 + 一點德語，能有英文版看就不錯了。一本讓人不適的書，宗教味道挺濃，適合沒有宗教信仰的家庭給孩子看？？(沒看完來評論，有點受不了……)/補充：剛纔數了下，一共99個故事。安徒生一生寫了168個童話故事。

It is winter , the old man of the former year ; he is not dead, as the calendar says , but he is guardian to the spring , which is coming.

說是安徒生童話，結果根本沒有寫和安徒生童話的事

還是英文我是中國人，讀不懂。M1小學生。

The Brothers Grimm were collectors of true folktales - marchen, in German - who wanted an ethnographic survey of the newly-unified/unifying German state. They traveled the length and breadth of the German-speaking world and recorded enormous ranges of stories in their multiple forms as they appeared in different areas. Their morphological analysis of these stories - that is, their structural “dissection” of the plots and details of them - formed the basis of modern folklore studies. Anderson, in contrast, did not have national identity on his mind but rather moral education. While he based his original stories on the folk tales of Denmark and similar areas, his aim was to emulate the style of those stories to tell tales in order to reach the widest audience possible. Famously his original “Little Mermaid,” for instance, dies after making a bargain with the forces of evil AND SERVES HER RIGHT, goes the moral of the story. While there are morals in many of the German madchen collected by the Grimms, the lessons they teach might strike us as unusual. In “The Devil’s Stinky Brother,” for instance, the Devil turns out to be a pretty good employer who keeps his word even when the human he takes in doesn’t meet every piece of their original bargain. The human, in fact, ends up successful back in the mortal realm after his hitch with Old Scratch. So: Grimms = collectors who just cleaned up what they found into a canon of stories fit for analysis. Anderson = proto-Dickensian moralist who used folk tales as a template for original work.
