《白雪皇后》的七个故事,1845年

the Snow queen IN SEVEN StoRIES, 1845

---

《白雪皇后》,儿童文学伟大的探索叙事之一,描绘了两个孩子在走向世界尽头的旅程中历经奇观异景的道路。

“the Snow queen,” one of the great quest narratives of children’s literature, traces the paths of two children through wonders and marvels as they journey to the ends of the earth.

虽然凯(Kai)和格尔达(Gerda)不是亲兄妹,但他们情同兄妹。

Although Kai and Gerda are not biological siblings, they are bonded as brother and sister.

在他们的旅行过程中,他们从童年步入青春期再成为成年人 —— 内心依然童真的成年人。

In the course of their travels, they pass from childhood through adolescence to bee adults—adults who remain children at heart.

他们充满磨难的旅程包含了童话故事的所有经典特征:

their trial - ridden journey contains all the classic features of a fairy tale:

一位保持着聪慧的勇敢女主人公,善与恶之间戏剧性的较量,在无辜女主人公的探索之旅中给予帮助的助手和捐赠者,拥有诱惑力量的反派,通向惊险冒险的危险旅程,以及内心纯真无邪者对邪恶的胜利。

a courageous heroine who maintains her wits, melodramatic contests between good and evil, helpers and donors who aid the innocent heroine in her quest, villains with seductive powers, perilous journeys that lead to breathtaking adventures, and the triumph of the innocent and pure in heart over evil.

这个童话故事也被构建为成人的寓言,阐明了科学和理性的危险诱惑,并预言它们将被基督教救赎的生命力所击败。

the fairy tale has also been framed as an allegory for adults, illustrating the dangerous seductions of science and reason and predicting their defeat by the life - giving forces of christian salvation.

《白雪皇后》在多个层面上发挥作用,其简单性掩盖了深度和复杂性,每次阅读都会产生新的意义。
