In 1810, the Grimm Brothers first wrote down the story of Snow White, as told to them by some anonymous German folks.
1810年,也不知道格林兄弟是听了哪个德国老百姓讲述《白雪公主》的故事之后,率先记录下这个童话故事。
Not little redheaded men dressed in green and leading to the rainbows end. Not Santas helpers, nor anything like the ogres, trolls, and other monsters from the Grimm Brothers or Mother Goose.
一点儿也不像七个小矮人、芒奇金 、棕仙 、森林小仙 ,也不像指引彩虹的尽头、红帽绿衣的小人儿 ,更不像圣诞老人的帮手、食人魔 、北欧小矮人 ,或者是格林童话、鹅妈妈故事里的其他魔鬼。
Most modern versions of fairy tales come from two sources: the Grimm Brothers from Germany, and Frenchman Charles Perrault, the collector of the 「Mother Goose」 tales.
最现代版本的童话有两个出处:德国的格林兄弟,法国的查尔斯·贝洛,他创造了「鹅妈妈」等故事。
Before the Grimm Brothers gathered their collection of well-known German folk fairy tales, these stories followed an oral tradition, being passed on from grandmother to mother to children.
在格林兄弟时代,当这两个兄弟在搜集整理德国民间童话故事之前,这些古老的民间故事的都是口口相传的,一般由祖辈传给父辈,再由父辈传给孩子。
