经典英语小故事两分钟-卖火柴的小女孩
Once upon a time a
little girl tried to make a living by selling
matches in the street.
The snow-clad streets
were deserted. From brightly lit windows came the
tinkle of
laughter and the sound of singing.
But the poor little match seller sat sadly beside
the
fountain. Her ragged dress and worn shawl
did not keep out the cold. She hadn’t sold
one
box of matches all day and she was frightened to
go home, for her father would
certainly be
angry.
The little girl’s fingers were stiff
with cold. If only she could light a match! But
what
would her father say at such a waste!
Falteringly she took out a match and lit it. What
a nice warm flame! The little match seller
cupped her hand over it, and as she did so,
she magically saw in its light a big brightly
burning stove.
She held out her hands to the
heat, but just then the match went out and the
vision
faded. The night seemed darker than
before and it was getting colder.
After
hesitating for a long time, she struck another
match on the wall, and this time
the glimmer
turned the wall into a great sheet of crystal.
Beyond that stood a fine table
laden with food
and lit by a candlestick. Holding out her arms
towards the plates, the
little match seller
seemed to pass through the glass, but then the
match went out and
the magic faded.
She
lit the third match and an even more wonderful
thing happened. There stood a
Christmas tree
hung with hundreds of candles, glittering with
tinsel and colored balls.
“Oh, how lovely!”
exclaimed the little match seller, holding up the
match. Then, the
match burned her finger and
flickered out.
Scarcely aware of what she was
doing, the little match seller lit another match.
This
time, she saw her grandmother. “Granny,
stay with me!” she pleaded, as she lit one
match after the other, so that her
grandmother would not disappear like all the other
visions.
However, Granny did not vanish,
but gazed smilingly at her. Then she opened her
arms and the little girl hugged her crying:
“Granny, take me away with you!”
A cold day
dawned and a pale sun shone on the fountain and
the icy road. Close by
lay the lifeless body
of a little girl surrounded by spent matches.
“Poor little thing!”
exclaimed the passersby.
“She was trying to keep warm!”
But by that
time, the little match seller was far away, where
there is neither cold, nor
hunger, nor pain.
从前有一个小女孩想靠在街上卖火柴来谋生。
白雪覆盖的街道被抛弃了。从明亮的
窗户传来的笑声和歌声的叮当声。但这可
怜的小火柴卖家却坐在喷泉旁。她那破烂的衣服和破旧的披肩，
并没有使她冷。
她一整天都没有卖掉一盒火柴，她很害怕回家，因为她的父亲一定会生气的。
小女孩的手指僵硬了。如果她能点火柴！但她父亲在这样一种浪费时会怎么说
呢！她迟疑地拿出一根火柴
点燃它。好温暖的火焰！卖火柴的小女孩捧着她的手，
和她这样做，她奇迹般地在光的大熊熊燃烧的火炉
。
她伸出手去给热火，但就在那场比赛走出去，目光渐渐消失了。夜晚似乎比以
前更黑暗，更冷了。
犹豫了很长时间后，她又在墙上打比赛，这一次微光墙变为一个杰出的单晶体。
除了站好桌子
摆满了食物和点燃的蜡烛。把她抱到盘子里，小火柴的卖方似乎穿
过了玻璃，但随后火柴熄灭了，魔术消
失了。
她点亮了第三场比赛，一件更美妙的事情发生了。站在挂着几百支蜡烛的圣诞
树，闪
闪发光的金属丝和颜色的球。”哦，多可爱啊！”小火柴人喊道，举起火柴。
然后，她的手指和比赛烧毁
熄灭。
几乎没有意识到她在做什么，小火柴点燃了另一根火柴。这一次，她看到了她
的奶奶。奶奶，和我在一起！”她恳求，当她点燃一根火柴后，让她的祖母不会
像其他所有的幻
象一样消失。
然而，奶奶并没有消失，而是微笑的看着她。然后她张开双臂，小女孩抱着她：
“奶奶，带我走吧！”
一个寒冷的日子，一个苍白的阳光照在喷泉和冰冷的道路上。一个小女孩被一
个小女孩所包围
，躺在一个小女孩的身边。可怜的小东西！”路人喊道。”她试图
保持温暖！”
但到了那个时候，小火柴的卖方是远远的，那里既没有寒冷，也没有饥饿，也
没有痛苦。
