你好。
Hello.
欢迎收听《故事》播客。
Welcome to Stories podcast.
在本期节目中，我们将为您讲述格林兄弟的经典童话《白雪公主》。
In this week's episode, we bring you our take on the classic tale of Snow White by the Brothers Grimm.
敬请享受。
Enjoy.
我真希望有个孩子，一个可以拥抱和深爱的女孩。
I wish I had a child, a girl to hold and love.
一位聪慧、美丽、真诚又如鸽子般温柔的公主。
A princess wise and fair and true and gentle as a dove.
我真希望有个孩子，头发如煤炭般漆黑，嘴唇如新鲜血液般鲜红，皮肤如雪般洁白，皮肤如雪般洁白。
I wish I had a child with hair as black as coal, Lips as red as fresh new blood, and skin as white as snow, and skin as white as snow.
这些是米达勒王后在安静缝纫时所唱的歌。
These were the words sung by the fair queen of Middale as she worked quietly at her sewing.
她不小心被缝衣针刺伤，三滴鲜红的血滴落在窗台上堆积的皑皑冬雪上。
She had pricked herself with her sewing needle, and three bright drops of blood had dripped onto the freshly fallen winter snow that piled on the black wood of her windowsill.
红色与白雪、黑木相映成趣，她当即即兴创作了这首歌，并希望它能成真。
The red looked so pretty paired with the white snow and the black wood that she made up the song on the spot, and wished it to be true.
令国王和王国无比欣喜的是，她很快如愿以偿。
To the great delight of the king and the kingdom, she was soon granted her wish.
她的女儿降生了，皮肤如新雪般洁白如乳。
Her daughter was born with skin as milk white as new fallen snow.
她微笑的双唇呈现出鲜艳欲滴的红色，头发则如山中矮人从矿井中开采的煤炭般漆黑。
Her smiling lips were a perfectly bright shade of red, and her hair was as pitch black as the coal the dwarves of the mountains pulled from the mines.
他们给她取名为白雪公主，整个王国都为这位皇家公主的诞生而欢歌雀跃。
They named her Snow White, and the entire kingdom sang with the joy of their love for the royal princess.
不幸的是，这份喜悦并未持续太久。
Unfortunately, the joy wasn't to last.
在王国的另一处，一座被浓密如蛇般攀爬的常春藤覆盖的古老废弃城堡里，住着一位邪恶的女巫。
In another part of the kingdom, in an old forgotten castle overgrown with thick grain strands of ivy like climbing snakes, there lived a wicked witch.
就女巫的标准而言，她并非特别强大。
She wasn't especially powerful as far as witches go.
她无法变身为龙，也无法召唤出一座糖果屋，但她精通美貌的魔法。
She couldn't turn into a dragon or conjure a house made of candy, but she was skilled in the magic of beauty.
每天清晨，她都会吟唱咒语，施展古老的魔法，让自己永葆青春与美丽。
Every morning, she would sing her spells, working her old magic to keep herself young and beautiful beyond belief.
冬日凋零，秋日哀叹。
Winter withers, fall deplores.
夏日绽放，春日复苏。
Summer blooms, and spring restores.
风吟美丽，山峦蜿蜒，热铸其形，冷保其姿。
Wind sings beauty, or mountain curves, the heat it forges, the cold preserves.
她的美貌咒语完成后，便会转向她的魔镜。
Her beauty spell completed, she would turn to her magic mirror.
镜子，她会说。
Mirror, she would say.
镜子。
Mirror.
这面镜子是个贪睡鬼。
The mirror was a heavy sleeper.
镜子。
Mirror.
是的，我美丽善良的女巫。
Yes, my fair, sweet witch.
告诉我，谁是这世上最美丽的人？
Tell me, who is the fairest in all the land?
没有魔法咒语可不行。
Not without the magic words.
魔法咒语？
Magic words?
我该把你碎成千片，我最美丽的女巫。
I should break you into a thousand Manners, my fairest.
好吧。
Fine.
魔镜魔镜在我手，谁是这世上最美丽的人？
Mirror, mirror, in my hand, who is the fairest in all the land?
她每天都会向她的魔镜问这个问题，而魔镜每天都会回答：你是最美丽的。
Every day she would ask this question to her magic mirror, and every day the mirror would reply, you are the fairest.
我会知道这是真的。
I'll know it true.
没有人比你更美了。
There is no one near as fair as you.
这使女巫非常高兴，因为镜子只能说出真相。
This made the witch very happy, because the mirror was only able to tell the truth.
然而，在白雪公主八岁生日那天，发生了一件意想不到的事，几乎将米达勒王国的和平撕得粉碎。
However, on Snow White's eighth birthday, something unexpected happened, and it nearly tore the peaceful kingdom of Middale apart.
魔镜魔镜在我手中，谁是奥尔登兰最美丽的人？
Mirror, mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in Oldenland?
女巫在那个命运之日的早晨问道。
The witch asked that fateful morning.
亲爱的女巫，您很美。
Sweet witch, you're fair.
这仍然是真的。
That still is true.
但白雪公主比您更美。
But Snow White is ever more fair than you.
你刚才说什么？
What did you say?
女巫尖叫道。
The witch screeched.
我说白雪公主是整个王国里最美丽的。
I said that Snow White is the fairest in all of the kingdom.
别担心。
Don't worry.
年龄终究会找上每个人的，亲爱的女巫。
Age catches up to everyone eventually, sweet witch.
镜子似乎很享受说出这个真相。
The mirror rather seemed to be enjoying telling this particular truth.
白雪公主，那位公主？
Snow White, the princess?
女巫低吼着，一股邪恶的绿色烟雾开始从她弯曲如爪的手掌中飘出。
The witch growled, and a foul green smoke began to waft out of her curled, claw like hands.
我要给她点颜色看看。
I'll teach her a lesson.
说完，她把魔镜扔进了壁橱，披上旅行斗篷，多年以来第一次冲出古堡的大门，她可怕的笑声在幽灵森林中回荡。
And with that, she threw the magic mirror into a closet, slipped into her traveling cloak, and stormed out of the old castle doors for the first time in years, her terrible laugh echoing through the haunted forest.
白雪公主和她的王后母亲坐在花园里。
Snow White sat with her queen mother in the garden.
那正是她八岁生日后的几天，她是人们见过最美丽的小女孩。
It was just days after her eighth birthday, and she was the most beautiful little girl anyone had ever seen.
她的皮肤原本就如雪般光滑白皙，如今更如冬夜晴空下的月光般闪耀。
Her skin, already smooth and white as snow, now shone like moonlight on a clear winter's night.
她的头发原本就如煤炭般乌黑美丽，如今如一道无星的夜空般直垂至腰间。
Her hair, already lovely and as dark as coal, now fell straight and clean to her waist like a swath of starless sky.
她的嘴唇原本就红润健康，如今每天都会张开，为城堡庭院里的所有动物唱出甜美的歌谣。
Her lips, already bright and healthy red, now parted daily to sing sweet songs to all of the animals in the castle courtyards.
城堡里的每个人，从身披铠甲的勇敢骑士到洗碗的女仆，都一致认为，当白雪公主歌唱时，连鸟儿都会停下脚步聆听。
The castle folk, everyone from brave knights in their armor to the scullery maids washing dishes agreed that when Snow White sang, even the birds seemed to land and listen.
她正在为母亲歌唱，这是真的。
She was singing now to her mother, and it was true.
鸟儿确实停了下来聆听，而且还不止它们。
The birds did land to listen, and they weren't alone.
毛茸茸的兔子从洞穴中眨着眼睛爬出来，棕色的小鹿将头靠在她的脚边。
Fuzzy rabbits crawled blinking from their burrows, and tawny fawns laid their heads at her feet.
胖乎乎的大黄蜂停在低垂的雏菊上，蛇类从高草丛中的藏身处悄然滑出，只为更好地聆听这位小公主。
Chubby bumblebees paused on drooping daisies, and snakes slithered silently from their hiding spots in the tall grass to better hear the young princess.
城堡里美丽的少女，金发飘逸修长，能否将你的信物抛给我？
Lovely maid in your castle, hair golden and long, won't you throw me your favor?
能否为我唱一首歌？
Won't you sing me your song?
城堡里美丽的少女，能否与我共舞一曲？
Lovely maid in your castle, won't you give me this dance?
夜幕正迅速降临，这是我们的最后机会。
For night's falling swiftly, and this is our last chance.
当她唱歌时，突然所有动物都惊恐地抬起了头。
As she was singing, suddenly the animals all looked up in alarm.
蛇悄无声息地滑回了高草丛中，大黄蜂嗡嗡地飞回了蜂巢。
The snake slithered silently back into the tall grass, and the bumblebees buzzed back to their hives.
小鹿用细弱的腿跑回了树林，兔子则冲向了自己的洞穴。
The young fawns scampered on skinny legs back into the trees, and the rabbits ran for their burrows.
所有鸟儿同时飞起，像一片喧闹纷飞的彩色云朵。
The birds all took flight at once, like a great cloud of chirping, chittering color.
白雪公主，请过来，王后说道。
Snow White, please come here, said the queen.
怎么了，妈妈？
What is it, mother?
白雪公主问道。
Asked Snow White.
但她的母亲还没来得及回答，因为突然间，一股如龙息般的烟雾中，邪恶的女巫出现在了花园里。
But her mother didn't get a chance to answer, because suddenly, in a puff of smoke like dragon's breath, the wicked witch appeared in the garden.
她大步穿过花丛。
She strode through the flowers.
她每走一步，鲜艳的花朵便枯萎凋零。
And everywhere she stepped, the bright blooms withered and died.
原来你就是美丽的白雪公主，女巫说道。
So this is the beautiful Snow White, the witch said.
白雪公主的母亲吓得僵在原地。
Snow White's mother was frozen with fear.
但白雪公主从未见过女巫，她不明白这位突然出现在花园里既诡异又美丽的女子究竟是谁。
But Snow White had never met a witch before, and she didn't know what to make of this strange and beautiful woman appearing in her garden.
是的。
Yes.
我是白雪公主，她说道。
I am Snow White, she said.
那你又是谁呢？
And who might you be?
这使女巫笑了。
This made the witch laugh.
亲爱勇敢的女孩，她说，你认不出自己的母亲了吗？
Dear brave girl, she said, don't you recognize your own mother?
这使白雪公主感到困惑。
This confused Snow White.
但就在她注视时，女巫开始改变自己的容貌。
But even as she watched, the witch began to change her looks.
她缓慢而坚定地用魔法让自己看起来和白雪公主的母亲一模一样。
Slowly but surely, she used her magic to make herself look exactly like Snow White's mother.
白雪公主的母亲惊叫起来，只停顿了一下，便将白雪公主抱在怀里，开始逃跑。
Snow White's mother gave a cry of alarm, and pausing only to scoop Snow White into her arms, began to run away.
她刚走了三步，女巫的咒语就击中了她，将她定在原地。
She made only three steps before the witch's spell hit her and froze her in place.
白雪公主感到母亲的双臂变得坚硬而冰冷，还没等她反应过来，她的母亲——那位女王——已变成了一尊苍白的灰色石像。
Snow White felt her mother's arms grow harder and colder, and before she knew it, her mother, the queen, had become a statue of pale gray stone.
你做了什么？
What have you done?
白雪公主喊道。
Cried Snow White.
你现在就把她变回来。
You turn her back right now.
但女巫伪装成白雪公主的母亲，只是笑了。
But the witch, perfectly disguised as Snow White's mother, only laughed.
小姑娘，你这样跟妈妈说话合适吗？
Is that any way to talk to your mother, young lady?
白雪公主叫来了管家，管家叫来了卫兵，卫兵又叫来了她的父亲——国王。
Snow White called the butlers, and the butlers called the guards, and the guards called her father, the king.
但女巫骗过了所有人。
But the witch fooled them all.
她告诉国王，这座雕像正是为了纪念她，而白雪公主的想象力又在胡思乱想了。
She told the king that the statue was made in her honor, and that Snow White's imagination was running away with her again.
因为女巫的魔法让她看起来和皇后一模一样，所有人都相信了她，没有人相信可怜的白雪公主。
Because the witch's magic made her look exactly like the queen, everyone believed her, and no one believed poor Snow White.
这位年轻的公主在整个下午都试图说服父亲，说她的母亲其实是个女巫，但他根本不听。
The young princess tried for the rest of the afternoon to convince her father that her mother was actually a witch, but he wouldn't listen.
白雪公主，”他说，“我已经受够了你的这些故事。
Snow White, he said, I've had it with your stories.
如果你再不开始说真话，我就把你送去矿井里和矮人一起干活。
If you don't start telling the truth, I'm going to send you to work with the dwarves in the mines.
他当然永远不会真的这么做。
He would never have done it, of course.
但这是米德尔镇的父母们常对孩子们说的话。
But it was the sort of thing that parents in Middale were always saying to their kids.
把蔬菜吃完，不然你就得去矿井里和矮人一起干活。
Finish your vegetables, or you'll have to go to work with the dwarves in the mines.
收拾好你的房间，不然你就得去矿井里和矮人一起干活。
Clean your room, or you'll have to go to work with the dwarves in the mines.
对你的姑婆格特鲁德好一点，不然你就得去矿井里和矮人一起干活。
Be nice to your great aunt Gertrude, or you'll have to go to work with the dwarves in the mines.
没完没了。
On and on.
这简直把白雪公主逼疯了。
And it was driving Snow White crazy.
她最终意识到，自己唯一的出路就是在女巫把她变成石头之前逃离城堡。
She eventually realized her only choice was to escape from the castle before the witch could turn her to stone too.
她会找到某个人、某个地方寻求帮助，然后回来救她的父亲。
She would get help from someone, somewhere, and come back and rescue her father.
她等到国王和女巫被一场皇家晚宴分散注意力时，伪装成一个普通的农妇溜出了城门。
She waited until the king and the witch were distracted by a royal dinner and slipped out of the gate dressed as a normal farm girl.
她跑过吊桥，沿着小路一路奔入森林深处，直到这时才想起自己连一支蜡烛都没带。
She ran over the drawbridge and down the path, deep into the woods before she had time to remember that she didn't bring so much as a candle to light her way.
白雪公主走了好几个小时。
Snow White walked for hours.
森林变得越来越深邃黑暗，野兽的声响很快包围了这位年轻的公主。
The woods grew deeper and darker, and the sounds of wild animals quickly began to surround the young princess.
她感到自己在树木与黑暗中渐渐迷失了方向。
She could feel herself becoming confused in the trees and the darkness.
但直到她发现一小时前掉在荆棘丛中的发带时，才不得不承认自己真的迷路了。
But it wasn't until she found her own hairband lost an hour earlier in a pricker bush that she admitted to herself that she was well and truly lost.
她想坐下来大哭一场，但父母一直教导她，自怜自艾永远解决不了任何问题。
She felt like sitting down and crying, but her parents had always taught her that feeling sorry for yourself never accomplished anything.
于是她深吸一口气，鼓起更多勇气继续前行。
So she dug deep and found more courage to continue on.
她一直走到深夜，终于在远处隐约看到一缕微光，并听见一段歌声。
She walked well into the night until faint in the distance, she saw a flicker of light and heard a snatch of song.
她小心翼翼地靠近，生怕被发现或听到声响，朝着光亮和声音走去。
Creeping up carefully to not be seen or heard, she moved towards the light and the sound.
她所看到的景象几乎让她笑出声来，想起了父亲 earlier 的威胁。
What she saw nearly made her laugh out loud, remembering her father's threats from earlier.
是七个矮人从矿井工作一天后回家。
It was seven dwarves walking home from a day's work in the mines.
他们身材矮小，肌肉发达，五官粗犷。
They were short and widely muscled with big features.
他们的耳朵像面团一样下垂，大鼻子像悬崖般悬在宽阔嶙峋的嘴唇上方。
Their ears drooped like bread dough, and their big noses hung like cliffs over their big craggy lips.
他们看起来又脏又强壮，像他们扛着的镐头一样坚韧。
They looked dirty and strong and tough as the pickaxes they carried.
但他们那双大眼睛很友善，边走边唱着歌。
But their big eyes were friendly, and they were singing a song as they walked.
镐头和雪橇，宝石和黄金。
Pick and sleds, gems, and gold.
最好的留下，其余的卖掉。
The best we keep and the rest are sold.
雪橇和宝石，黄金和镐头。
Sledge and gems, gold and pick.
矿井黑暗，石头湿滑。
The mine is dark, and the stones are slick.
宝石与黄金，锤子与镐。
Gems and gold, pick and sledge.
我们敲碎岩石，淘起尘土。
The rocks we break, and the dust we dredge.
金色的镐，锤子和宝石。
Golden pick, sledge, and gems.
把管道装进烟斗里。
Pack the pipes into the stems.
白雪公主听着他们的歌声，跟在他们身后沿着小路走。
Snow White listened to their song and fell in behind them as they walked down the trail.
她小心地保持足够远的距离，让他们察觉不到她在跟踪，但同时也小心不失去对他们在小路上晃动的灯光的视线。
She was careful to stay far enough away that they didn't know she was following them, but she also was careful not to lose sight of their lights as they bobbed down the trail.
她从小就听了很多关于矮人的事，因为米达勒王国的每个孩子都听说过，她知道矮人总体上是善良友好的，也对国王很友好。
She had heard a lot about dwarves as every young child in the kingdom of Middale had, and she knew they were by and large a kind sort of people and friendly to the king.
他们辛勤地在地下劳作，开采出珍贵的黄金、煤炭和宝石，然后到城堡市场出售这些珍宝，卖给王国各地的人们。
They worked hard deep in the earth to pull out the precious gold and coal and gems, and then they frequented the castle market selling these treasures to men from all over the kingdom.
当白雪公主七岁时，一位留着长长银须的矮人送给她一枚细长的金戒指，用来束发。
When Snow White turned seven, a dwarf with a long silver beard had given her a slim golden ring to bind her hair.
这是她最珍爱的宝物之一。
It was one of her prized possessions.
于是，她拖着疲惫的双脚，彻夜跟随这些矮人，希望他们能带她去一个温暖安全的地方，那里有充足的食物和一张舒适的羽毛床。
So she followed the dwarves through the night on tired feet, hoping they would lead her someplace warm and safe with plenty of food and a nice comfy feather bed.
回到城堡后，女巫暴跳如雷。
Back at the castle, the witch was in a rage.
她没想到白雪公主竟敢离开，现在她只能困守国王身边，而时间所剩无几。
She didn't think Snow White would dare leave, and now she was stuck with the king, and her time was running out.
将王后变成石头是一项极其艰难的魔法，而如今，她或许只剩下一天时间，之后魔力耗尽，国王就会识破她的伪装。
Turning the queen to stone had been a very difficult bit of magic, and now she had perhaps one more day before her power was spent, and the king saw through her disguise.
她必须让白雪公主处于自己的控制之下，因为只有王国中最美貌少女的鲜血，才能恢复女巫的容颜。
She needed Snow White under her control, for only the blood of the fairest maiden in the kingdom could restore the witch's beauty.
但公主已经逃进了城堡北面的茂密森林中。
But the princess had escaped into the thick woods north of the castle walls.
在这方面，公主算是幸运的。
The princess was lucky in that regard.
她并不知道，那片森林里，矮人和仙灵的魔法力量强大，女巫的咒语会变得微弱且不可靠。
She didn't know it, but in those woods, the magic of the dwarves and fairy folk was strong, and the witch's spells would be weak and unreliable.
因此，只有一件事可做。
So there was only one thing to do.
她召来了猎人。
She called the huntsman.
这并不是女巫喜欢做的事。
It wasn't something the witch liked to do.
猎人又脏又粗暴且残忍，但他在这方面是最出色的，尽管他做的事并不令人愉快。
The huntsman was dirty and brutish and cruel, but he was the best there was at what he did, even if what he did wasn't especially pleasant.
他是一名顶尖的追踪者，无论目标是罪犯、野兽还是公主，他都能在森林中追捕并将其带回城堡。
He was an expert tracker, and he would hunt anything, be it criminal or animal or princess, through the woods and bring them back to the castle.
他每天穿着同样散发着酸臭味的衣服，上面沾满泥巴和树叶，以便融入森林，手中握着一把细长的斧头，刀刃锋利得能像切黄油一样轻松劈开石头。
He wore the same sour smelling clothes every day, streaked with mud and leaves to blend into the woods, and he carried a slender axe with a blade sharp enough to cut through stone like butter.
他那满是疤痕、怒气冲冲的脸庞连国王都害怕，因此只能由女巫来下达命令。
His scarred and angry face scared even the king, so it was up to the witch to give him the order.
追踪白雪公主，把她带回女巫那里。
Track Snow White down and bring her back to the witch.

矮人们终于穿过一座小桥，跨过潺潺的小溪，来到了他们的家。
The dwarves finally crossed a small bridge over a babbling brook and arrived at their home.
那是一间由精工切割的石头建造的温馨小屋，巧妙地坐落在一片小空地上。
It was a cozy little cottage made from expertly cut stone, cunningly arranged in a small clearing.
他们全都进了屋，很快，白雪公主就看到壁炉里火焰熊熊，一大锅浓稠的肉汤和洋葱在火上咕嘟咕嘟地翻滚。
They all went inside, and soon Snow White could see a fire roaring in the hearth and a big pot of stew thick with meat and onions bubbling steadily in the flames.
她的肚子也跟着咕咕直叫，于是她决定，向矮人们坦白自己的身份是值得冒这个险的。
Her own stomach bubbled and growled with hunger in return, and she decided that revealing herself to the dwarves was worth the risk.
也许他们能帮她打败女巫。
Perhaps they could help her defeat the witch.
如果不行，他们至少可以给她吃的。
If not, they could at least feed her.
她抬起手准备敲门，却听到身后阴影中传来一阵沙哑的声音。
She raised her hand to knock on the door, and heard a raspy voice speak from the shadows behind her.
不，小公主，猎人从阴影中走出说道。
No, little princess, said the huntsman, stepping from the shadows.
没必要让那些臭烘烘的矮人卷入这件事。
No need to involve those stinking dwarves in this.
你跟我回你母亲那里去，没人会受伤。
You come back with me to your mother, and no one has to get hurt.
白雪公主背靠在木制的矮人小屋上。
Snow White pressed her back against the wooden dwarf, the dwarf's cottage.
她认出了这位来自城堡的猎人。
She recognized the huntsman from the castle.
她父亲偶尔会雇他去追捕危险的罪犯。
Her father hired him from time to time to track down dangerous criminals.
但据说他也为地精和女巫做事。
But it was rumored he worked for goblins and witches as well.
此刻，白雪公主觉得这些传言恐怕是真的。
It seemed to Snow White now that those rumors must be true.
她不是我母亲。
She's not my mother.
她是个女巫，我不会跟你走，”白雪公主鼓起勇气说道，尽管她内心并不那么确信。
She's a witch, and I'm not going with you, Snow White said with a bravery she didn't entirely feel.
毕竟，她只是一个年轻女孩，而猎人高大魁梧，他的斧头在月光下仿佛泛着光芒。
After all, she was just a young girl, and the huntsman was tall and broad, and his axe seemed to glow in the moonlight.
母亲的女巫们，她们的黄金花起来都一样，”他说。
Mother's witches, their gold all spends the same, he said.
现在，你是跟我走，还是要我把你拖回家？
Now are you coming with me, or do I have to drag you home?
白雪公主感到身后门开了，七个矮人轻轻从她身边走过，用他们魁梧的身躯挡在她和猎人之间。
Snow White felt the door open behind her, and the seven dwarves pushed gently past her, putting their bulky bodies in between her and the huntsman.
他们手中拿着大锤和撬棍，胸前穿着由铁环组成的长外套。
In their hands were their sledgehammers and pickaxes, and they wore long coats of iron rings on their chests.
她说她不去，矮人们几乎异口同声地说道。
She said she's not going, the dwarves said, more or less in unison.
喂，猎人，你不如趁这些臭烘烘的矮人给你上一课礼貌之前，赶紧滚回你的女巫那里去吧？
Now, huntsman, why don't you just run back to your witch before these stinking dwarves give you a lesson in courtesy?
有一瞬间，白雪公主以为猎人会向矮人们动手。
For a moment, Snow White thought the huntsman would try the dwarves.
他的手抚弄着斧头的把手，但最终打消了念头。
His hand played with the handle of his axe, but he thought better.
矮人以善战闻名，即使像猎人这样的人也不敢同时面对七个。
Dwarves were notoriously good fighters, and even a man like the huntsman wouldn't dare face seven at once.
你母亲会听说这件事的，”他说。
Your mother will hear of this, he said.
她不是我妈妈，白雪公主喊道。
She's not my mother, yelled Snow White.
但猎人已经走了，重新没入森林的阴影中。
But the huntsman was already gone, back into the shadows of the forest.
你们救了我，她对矮人们说。
You saved me, she said to the dwarves.
矮人们齐刷刷地转身，深深鞠躬，他们沉重的靴子扬起一片尘土。
The dwarves turned as one and bowed low, their great beers dusting the ground.
为了国王，我们义不容辞，他们说。
Anything for the king, they said.
为了公主，我们义不容辞。
Anything for the princess.
其中一个矮人走上前，握住了她的手。
One of the dwarves stepped forward and took her hand.
白雪公主突然认出他就是去年生日时送她金发带的那个矮人。
Snow White suddenly recognized him as the dwarf who gifted her the golden hairband on her last birthday.
谢谢你们，善良的矮人们，她说。
Thank you, kind dwarves, she said.
矮人们带她进了屋，那里温暖又安全，还给了她双份的炖菜。
The dwarves brought her inside where it was warm and safe, and gave her a double helping of stew.
然后让他们让她躺在最柔软的羽毛床上，不久之后，白雪公主就安心地睡着了。
And then they let her lay on their softest feather bed, and before long, Snow White was happily asleep.
猎人回到城堡，每走一步都在咒骂那些矮人。
The huntsman went back to the castle, cursing the dwarves with every step.
那些矮小、踩碎石头、满身矿洞气味、挖矿拿镐、在树林里没完没了的人。
Those short rock crunching cave smelling gem mining pickaxing, on and on through the woods.
当他终于回到城堡时，发现女巫正等在门外，仍伪装成温柔的王后。
When he finally got back to the castle, he found the witch waiting for him outside, still disguised as the gentle queen.
好吧，她说。
Well, she said.
她从来就不怎么讲究问候。
She was never much for greetings.
白雪公主在哪里？
Where's Snow White?
猎人低头看着自己满是泥巴的靴子。
The huntsman looked down at his muddy boots.
她逃走了。
She got away.
她说什么？
She what?
王后问道。
Asked the queen.
你是传奇的猎人，而她只是一个八岁的女孩。
You're the legendary huntsman, and she's a girl of eight.
她怎么可能从你手里逃掉？
How did she possibly escape you?
是那些矮人，他说。
It was the dwarves, he said.
什么矮人？
What dwarves?
女巫问道。
Asked the witch.
北方矿井的七个矮人，就是那些总给国王和王室送来新珠宝的矮人。
The seven dwarves of the Northern Mines, the ones who are always bringing in new jewelry for the king and his court.
我讨厌矮人，”女巫说，这确实是实话。
I hate dwarves, the witch said, and it was very true.
矮人比普通人更坚韧强壮，对魔法有很强的抵抗力，这让任何女巫都难以接受。
Dwarves, being hardier and stronger than normal men, were very resistant to magic, and that had never sat well with any witch.
立刻回到他们的木屋，把那个公主给我带回来。
Return to their hovel and fetch me that princess at once.
你自己去把她抓来，”猎人喊道。
Fetch her yourself, yelled the huntsman.
他不愿承认，但他害怕矮人们的锤子和十字镐，还有那有力的巨大臂膀。
He didn't like to admit it, but he was afraid of the dwarves' hammers and picks, and the great big arms that held them.
你这无礼之徒！
Why, you insolent, yelled the witch.
她猛然释放出强大的魔力，将猎人瞬间变成了石头。
And with a great blast of power, she turned to the huntsman to stone where he stood.
他变成了一尊相当丑陋的石像，但女巫还有更大的麻烦。
He made a rather ugly statue, but the witch had bigger problems.
突如其来的魔法爆发削弱了她的伪装咒语，她的真实面容开始在王后的外表下显露出来。
The sudden burst of magic had weakened her disguise spell, and her true face was beginning to show under the queen's features.
她沮丧地大喊一声，回到了城堡里。
She yelled in frustration and went back into the castle.
在王室房间里，国王正大声打鼾。
In the royal chamber, the king was snoring loudly.
女巫已经对他施了睡眠咒语，好让他在这段时间里别来碍事。
The witch had cast a sleeping spell on him to keep him out of the way until she could sort all of this out.
她不耐烦地打了个响指，魔镜便出现在她手中。
Irritably, she snapped her fingers, and the magic mirror appeared in her hands.
魔镜魔镜在我手，她迅速说道。
Mirror, mirror in my hand, she said quickly.
谁是这世上最美丽的人？
Who is the fairest in all the land?
我的女巫，至少对你来说是坏消息。
My witch, bad news at least for you.
白雪公主才是最美丽的。
Snow White is fairest.
我知道这是真的，魔镜说道。
I'll know it true, the mirror said.
在镜面上，它显示出白雪公主正舒适地待在小矮人的小屋里，嚼着一个粉面的苹果，等待着小矮人们从矿井归来。
And on its surface, it showed Snow White, cozy in the dwarf's cottage, chewing a mealy apple, and waiting for the dwarves to return from the mines.
女巫微笑着将魔镜塞进袖子的深褶里。
The witch smiled and slipped the mirror into the deep folds of her sleeve.
她有了新计划，白雪公主不会再是那个最美丽的人很久了。
She had a new plan, and Snow White wouldn't be the fairest for much longer.
白雪公主还在等待矮人们从矿井回来时，听到了敲门声。
Snow White was still waiting for the dwarves to return from the mines when she heard a knock on the door.
她感到心脏剧烈跳动，充满恐惧。
She felt her heart thump loudly with fear.
矮人们去矿井与其他矮人商讨如何正确击败女巫，临走前严格吩咐白雪公主不要为任何人开门。
The dwarves had gone to the mines to consult with the other dwarves in the proper way to defeat a witch, and they had left Snow White strict instructions to not answer the door for anyone.
然而，她还是透过窗户往外看，感到松了一口气。
Still, though, she peered through the window and felt relieved.
那既不是猎人，也不是女巫，更不是任何可怕的人。
It wasn't a huntsman or a witch or anyone scary at all.
只是一个卖苹果的老农妇，推着一辆小车。
It was merely an old farmer's wife selling apples from a cart.
那些苹果看起来新鲜可口，比矮人们存放在地窖里的陈旧水果好得多。
They looked fresh and delicious, much better than the old stunted fruits the dwarves kept in the cellar.
她微笑着打开了门。
She opened the door with a smile.
你好。
Hello.
你今天卖苹果吗？
Are you selling apples today?
白雪公主问道。
Snow White asked.
是的，亲爱的孩子，女人说。
I am, sweet child, said the woman.
要来一个吗？
Would you care for one?
白雪公主正要答应，突然想起自己没有钱支付。
Snow White started to say yes, and then remembered she had no coin to pay.
对不起。
I'm sorry.
我没有钱买苹果，她说。
I don't have any money for apples, she said.
但老妇人只是微笑着。
But the old woman just smiled.
别担心，可爱的孩子。
Not to worry, sweet child.
第一个苹果免费。
The first apple is free.
女人说，来，拿这个吧。
The woman said, here, take this one.
它和你的嘴唇很配。
It matches your lips.
白雪公主惊喜地叫了一声，接过了老妇人递来的苹果。
Snow White gave a cry of delight and took the apple the old woman was offering.
她咬了一大口，感受到果实在口中清脆的口感。
She took a big bite, feeling the crunch of the fruit in her mouth.
但有些不对劲。
But something was wrong.
展开剩余字幕（还有 117 条）
没有了红苹果那酸甜的滋味，取而代之的是一种酸涩、金属味浓重且令人窒息的味道。
Instead of the tart sweetness of a bright red apple, the taste was sour and metallic and choking.
老妇人突然变年轻了，面容变得消瘦而更加美丽。
The old woman suddenly got younger, her face slimmer and more beautiful.
一瞬间，那根本不是什么老妇人，而是带着全部魔力的邪恶女巫。
And suddenly, it wasn't an old woman at all, but the wicked witch with all of her power.
白雪公主的世界陷入了黑暗。
The world grew dark for Snow White.
她开始向地面倒下。
She started to fall to the ground.
现在，我的小公主，女巫说，你的血会让我重获青春。
And now, my little princess, the witch said, your blood will make me young again.
她俯身想把白雪公主拖回城堡，但一颗如鸡蛋大小的红宝石击中了她的头部，让她踉跄后退。
She bent down to steal Snow White back to her castle, but a ruby the size of an egg struck her in the side of the head and sent her staggering.
魔法镜子从她的袖子里滑落，掉在了白雪公主身旁的草地上。
The magic mirror slipped from her sleeve and landed in the grass next to Snow White.
滚开，你这个邪恶的东西。
Get back, you evil thing.
是七个矮人，刚从矿井回来。
It was the seven dwarves, just back from the mines.
滚开，我们说的。
Back, we say.
女巫向最近的矮人释放了一道魔法，但他的皮肤太坚硬了。
The witch unleashed a blast of magic against the nearest dwarf, but his skin proved too tough.
他没有变成石头，反而大笑起来。
Instead of turning to stone, he just laughed.
我们矮人是石头的主人，他们喊道。
Us dwarves are the masters of stone, they cried.
我们生于岩石，以黄金宝石为食。
We are born into rock and weaned on golden gems.
你的魔法在这里毫无作用。
Your sorceries hold no sway here.
现在滚开。
Now be gone.
他们高举矿镐向她逼近。
They advanced on her, picks raised high.
女巫尖叫起来，容颜不再，魔法耗尽，化作一缕龙烟消散了。
The witch screamed, beautiful no more, her magic wasted, and she vanished in a puff of dragon smoke.
矮人们冲向白雪公主，但为时已晚。
The dwarves ran to Snow White, but they were too late.
年轻的公主静静地躺在地上，一动不动。
The young princess was still and silent on the ground.
我们该怎么办？
What do we do?
他们喊道。
They cried.
他们试了又试，却无法唤醒她。
They tried and tried, but couldn't wake her.
他们争论不休，大吵大闹。
They argued and blustered.
他们摇晃着年轻的公主，但最终想不出更好的办法，只好把白雪公主和魔镜一起装进矿车，启程前往城堡。
They shook the young princess, but eventually, coming up with no better plan, they bundled Snow White and the magic mirror together in their mine cart and set off towards the castle.
不幸的是，女巫比他们先到了。
Unfortunately, the witch beat them there.
当矮人们把公主和魔镜推入城堡时，发现所有人都陷入了魔法沉睡。
When the dwarves rolled the princess and the magic mirror into the castle, they found everyone overtaken by an enchanted slumber.
从沉睡中的骑士到伏在餐具边打盹的女仆，整个城堡里没有一个醒着的人。
From the knights asleep in their armor to the scullery maids dozing in their dishes, there was not a soul awake in the entire castle.
嗯，除了女巫之外。
Well, except for the witch.
她站在王座厅里，面对着在王座上打鼾的国王。
She stood in the throne room in front of the king who was snoring on his throne.
她嘴角挂着邪恶的笑声，丑陋得令人恐惧。
There was a wicked laugh on her lips, and she was hideously ugly.
让整个城堡陷入沉睡耗尽了她所有的魔力，她已经没有多余的力量来维持美貌了。
Putting the entire castle to sleep had used up all of her magic, and there was none left for beauty.
你们这些矮人也许很坚强，但并不聪明，她说。
You dwarves may be tough, but you aren't smart, she said.
在你们的魔法森林和矿井里，你们拥有力量。
In your enchanted woods and mines, you have the power.
但在这里，我才是掌控者，而你们把公主亲自送到了我面前。
But here, I'm in control, and you've brought the princess right to me.
她再次大笑，朝七个矮人做了个手势。
She laughed again and gestured at the seven dwarves.
粗壮扭曲的带刺藤蔓从石地板下破土而出，缠绕住这些矮小的英雄们，将他们牢牢钉在原地。
Thick and gnarled bands of thorny roots burst through the stone floor and wrapped around the stocky would be heroes, pinning them in place.
剧烈晃动的地面使整个王座大厅猛烈颤抖。
The shaking floor caused the entire throne room to tremble wildly.
装载着白雪公主的推车翻倒了，年轻的公主跌落在地上。
The cart holding Snow White tipped over and spilled the young princess to the ground.
她一撞，那口苹果就从她嘴里飞出，滑过地面。
When she hit, the bit of apple shot from her mouth and slid across the floor.
矮人们奋力挣扎，却无法挣脱这些带刺的枝条。
The dwarves struggled but could not free themselves from the thorny branches.
国王在王座上打着鼾。
The king snored on the throne.
女巫狂笑起来，而Snow White——那颗魔法苹果从她嘴里掉出后，Snow White醒了过来。
The witch laughed wildly, and Snow White well, with the enchanted apple out of her mouth, Snow White woke up.
够了，她说着站了起来。
That's enough, she said, rising to her feet.
放了我的朋友们，立刻唤醒所有人。
You let my friends go, and you wake everyone up this instant.
女巫低吼着，她那扭曲的枯手蜷缩成爪子。
The witch growled, her crooked old hands curling into claws.
你醒了？
You're awake?
无所谓。
No matter.
我很快就会得到你的美貌，成为王国历史上最美丽、最强大的女巫。
I'll have your beauty soon, and I'll be the fairest, most powerful witch the kingdom has ever seen.
我会统治为女王，所有人都会向我下跪，否则他们将永远沉睡。
I'll rule as queen, and everyone will kneel before me, or they'll sleep forever.
白雪公主突然看到魔镜躺在她脚边的地上。
Snow White suddenly saw the magic mirror laying on the ground by her feet.
它在马车翻倒时从车上掉出来，现在她迅速跪下，将魔镜握在手中。
It had spilled from the cart when it had tipped over, and now she knelt quickly and slipped it into her hand.
她有了一个计划。
She had a plan.
你永远别想得到我。
You'll never have me.
我会逃跑，我会躲藏，永远不会停下。
I'll run, and I'll hide, and I'll never stop.
你得把我变成石头才行，”白雪公主喊道。
You'll have to turn me to stone too, Snow White cried.
矮人们沮丧地大喊，不明白这位勇敢的年轻公主为何要独自对抗如此强大的女巫。
The dwarves yelled in frustration, not understanding why the brave young princess would stand alone against the darkly powerful witch.
你说石头？
Stone, you say?
这很容易办到，”女巫阴森地笑道。
That can be arranged, the witch cackled.
就像她对王后和猎人做的那样，她直接向白雪公主施放了一道强大的咒语。
And just like she had with the queen and the huntsman, she sent a powerful spell straight at Snow White.
但白雪公主早有预料，她已经做好了准备。
Snow White was counting on this though, and she was ready.
当咒语划过房间时，她举起魔镜，像盾牌一样挡在身前。
As the spell streaked across the room, she raised the magic mirror in front of her like a shield.
咒语击中了魔法镜面，将镜子击成千片碎片，并将咒语反弹回女巫身上。
The spell hit the enchanted glass, breaking it into a thousand pieces, and reflected it back at the witch.
女巫甚至来不及尖叫，咒语就直接击中了她的心脏。
The witch didn't even have time to scream as the spell struck her full in the heart.
她瞬间完全化作了石头，变成一尊双手高举的丑陋雕像，那可怕的狂笑永远凝固在她的唇边。
She was instantly and completely turned into stone, an ugly statue with hands raised, the hideous cackle frozen forever on her lips.
束缚着矮人们的荆棘枝条枯萎了，矮人们得以脱身。
The thorny branches holding the dwarves withered, and the dwarves broke free.
国王从魔法沉睡中醒来，整个城堡的人也都苏醒了。
The king woke from his enchanted slumber, and so did the rest of the castle.
他们看到女巫僵立不动，浑身石化的灰白色，开始欢呼庆祝。
They saw the witch, frozen still and stone gray, and started to celebrate.
人们为勇敢的年轻公主爆发出热烈的欢呼，但白雪公主却开始哭泣。
A great cheer went up for the brave young princess, but Snow White began to cry.
怎么了？
What's wrong?
矮人们问道。
Said the dwarves.
怎么了？
What's wrong?
国王问道。
Said the king.
你已经打败了女巫。
You've defeated the witch.
这是我们王国的大喜日子。
It's a great day for our kingdom.
你没看见吗？
Don't you see?
白雪公主说。
Snow White said.
母亲依然被石化了。
Mother is still frozen as stone.
女巫死了，没人能把她变回原样。
With the witch gone, there's no one to turn her back.
国王几乎晕倒了，但七个小矮人彼此严肃地对视了一眼。
The king nearly fainted, but the dwarves gave each other serious looks.
他们一个接一个地走上前，深深鞠躬，胡须都蹭到了泥土上。
One by one, they stepped forward and bowed so low, their beards brushed the dirt.
我们的小公主，他们说，如果你的母亲变成了石头，也别担心。
Our sweet princess, they said, if your mother is stoned, then fear not.
我们矮人从第一次挥动矿镐对抗群山之时起，就是石艺的大师。
Us dwarves have been the master of stone since we first set our picks against the might of the mountains.
带我们去见你的石像吧，如果她能恢复原状，那非我们矮人莫属。
Lead us to your statue, and if she can be made whole again, we are the dwarves to do it.
白雪公主既害怕又突然燃起希望，带领七个小矮人来到女巫首次出现的花园。
Snow White, scared but suddenly hopeful, led the seven dwarves to the garden where the witch had first appeared.
一只大乌鸦停在她母亲的石臂上，白雪公主赶走了它，为矮人们腾出空间。
A large crow was perched on her mother's stone arm, and Snow White shooed it away to make room for the dwarves.
矮人们敲了敲石像，用他们大大的耳朵倾听石头的声音。
The dwarves knocked on the statue and listened to the stone with their big ears.
他们用大鼻子嗅了嗅石头，神情非常严肃。
They smelled the stone with their big noses, and they looked very serious.
他们低声交谈、敲击、聆听、嗅闻，直到白雪公主觉得自己快要尖叫了。
They whispered and knocked and listened and smelled until Snow White thought she would scream.
但最终，他们终于面带灿烂的笑容看向这位年轻的公主。
But eventually, finally, they looked at the young princess with broad smiles.
这是坚硬的石头，亲爱的公主，但真正的内心仍在跳动，他们说道。
It's hard stone, sweet princess, but the true heart still beats inside, they said.
做个乖女孩，去把我们的镐子拿来，我们会把这位女王从她的石壳中孵化出来。
Be a sweet girl and fetch us our picks, and we'll hatch this queen from her shell.
白雪公主跑回去为矮人们取来了工具。
Snow White ran and got the dwarves their tools.
最终，要小心翼翼地移除石头而不伤害里面的人，是一项极其缓慢的工作。
In the end, it was a lot of slow work to remove the stone without harming the woman inside.
但终于，一镐准确击中，石头裂开、碎裂、剥落，露出了女王的身影。
But finally, a pick struck true, and the stone cracked and crumbled and fell away, revealing the queen.
她昏昏沉沉，神情困惑，但除此之外毫发无损，只是从那天起，她对乌鸦有了不同寻常的偏爱。
She was groggy and confused, but otherwise unharmed, though from that day forth she had an unusual soft spot for crows.
他们把石女巫放在城堡前，与石猎人并排摆放，以此警示那些痴迷于美貌的人。
They placed the stone witch in front of the castle next to the stone huntsman, and left them both there, as a warning to those who obsess over beauty.
国王册封了这些矮人，从那天起，他们成为皇家卫队，尽管他们仍会不时返回矿井，因为所有矮人都会如此。
The king knighted the dwarves, and from that day forth, they served as the royal guard, though they still returned to the mines now and then, as all dwarves will.
至于白雪公主，她日渐长大，愈发美丽。
As for Snow White, she grew older and more beautiful still.
但她从未忘记从邪恶女巫身上学到的教训。
But she never forgot the lesson she learned from the wicked witch.
她总是特别用心，对王国里每一个人都温柔善良。
She went out of her way to always be kind and gentle to all of those who lived in her kingdom.
她从不关心自己是不是全国最美丽的，或者第二美丽的，甚至第三百八十名美丽的。
She never much cared if she was the fairest, or second fairest, or three hundred and eighty first fairest in all of the land.
她有朋友，有家人，这就足够了。
She had her friends, and she had her family, and that was more than enough for her.
