English Original
In a large, crowded town, two poor children named Kay and Gerda lived in neighboring attic rooms. Their families had built a shared rooftop garden by placing wooden boxes across a gutter between their windows. Sweet peas and rose bushes grew splendidly, creating a green haven high above the streets. The children were inseparable, playing under the roses in summer. In winter, when frost covered the windows, they would warm copper pennies to melt peepholes and gaze at each other through the glass.
One snowy evening, Kay's grandmother spoke of the "Snow Queen," who ruled the snowflakes and painted frost flowers on the windowpanes. That night, Kay saw a large snowflake transform into a beautiful, icy woman who nodded to him before vanishing.
The following summer, as Kay and Gerda looked at a picture book, a shard from a cursed magic mirror struck Kay's eye and heart. It distorted his vision and froze his feelings. He became cruel, tearing their beloved roses and mocking Gerda. His games turned cold and intellectual; he admired the perfect, magnified beauty of snowflakes over real, imperfect flowers.
One winter day, Kay took his sled to the town square. A magnificent white sled, driven by a figure in white fur, appeared. Kay tied his sled to it, and they sped out of town into a blinding snowstorm. The driver was the Snow Queen. She took Kay into her sled, kissed his forehead (a kiss colder than ice that numbed his heart completely), and carried him away to her icy palace. As they flew over lands and seas on a black cloud, Kay forgot Gerda, his grandmother, and his home, enthralled by the Snow Queen's cold perfection.
中文翻译
在一个拥挤的大城镇里，两个贫穷的孩子——凯和格尔达——住在相邻的阁楼里。他们的家人在窗户之间的水槽上架起了木箱，共同建造了一个屋顶花园。香豌豆和玫瑰丛长得非常茂盛，在街道上方创造了一片绿色的天堂。两个孩子形影不离，夏天在玫瑰丛下玩耍。冬天，当冰霜覆盖窗户时，他们会把铜币烤热，在玻璃上融化出小孔，透过它们彼此凝望。
一个下雪的夜晚，凯的祖母谈起了统治雪花、在窗玻璃上绘制霜花的“冰雪女王”。当晚，凯看见一片巨大的雪花变成了一位美丽而冰冷的女人，她朝他点了点头，随后消失了。
第二年夏天，当凯和格尔达看图画书时，一块来自被诅咒的魔镜的碎片击中了凯的眼睛和心脏。这扭曲了他的视觉，冻结了他的情感。他变得残忍，撕毁了心爱的玫瑰，并嘲弄格尔达。他的游戏变得冰冷而理性；他更欣赏雪花被放大后的完美之美，而不是真实而有缺陷的花朵。
一个冬日，凯带着雪橇来到城镇广场。一架华丽的白色大雪橇出现了，由一位身着白色毛皮的身影驾驶。凯将自己的雪橇系在上面，他们飞速驶出城镇，冲进暴风雪中。驾驶者正是冰雪女王。她把凯带进雪橇，亲吻了他的额头（这个吻比冰还冷，彻底冻结了他的心），将他带往她的冰宫。当他们乘着黑云飞越山川湖海时，凯被冰雪女王冰冷的完美所吸引，忘记了格尔达、他的祖母和他的家。
