Long, long ago, there lived a beautiful queen whose greatest wish was to have a daughter.
很久很久以前，有一位美丽的王后，她最大的愿望就是有个女儿。
“I wish I had a child of my own. A beautiful daughter with skin as white as snow!with lips as red as a rose, and hair as black as coal. ”
“我希望我有自己的孩子。一个漂亮的女儿，她的皮肤像雪一样白！嘴唇像玫瑰一样红，头发像煤一样黑。”
It wasn’t long before the queen’s wish came true. She gave birth to a beautiful little girl whom she named Snow White!
没过多久，王后的愿望成真。她生了一个漂亮的小女孩，她给她起名叫白雪公主!
But sadly, the queen became very sick and died when Snow White was very little.
但不幸的是，当白雪公主很小的时候王后得重病去世了。
Snow White’s father, the king, eventually remarried. His new wife, the new queen, came to live with him and Snow White in the castle.
白雪公主的父亲、国王，最终再婚了。他的新妻子、新王后过来与他和白雪公主一起住在城堡里。
The new queen was very beautiful, but she was a proud and cruel woman.
新王后非常漂亮。但她是一个傲慢而残忍的女人。
In her room she had a magical talking mirror, and every morning she would stand before it and ask the same question.
她的房间里有一面会说话的魔镜，每天早上，她都会站在它面前问同样的问题。
“Magical mirror on the wall! Tell me! Who is the fairest of them all? ”
“墙上的魔镜!告诉我!谁是世界上最美的人?”
The magical mirror would always speak the truth and tell the queen that she was the fairest. “You, my queen.You are the fairest of them all.”
魔镜总是说真话告诉王后她是最美丽的。“你，我的女王，你是他们当中最美的。”
The queen was always pleased with the magical mirror’s answer because she knew that the mirror could never tell a lie.
王后总是很满意魔镜的答案，因为她知道镜子是不会说谎的。
The years passed and Snow White grew to be a beautiful young woman. Everyone admired Snow White’s beauty.
多年过去了，白雪公主长成了一个美丽的年轻女子。每个人都羡慕白雪公主的美丽。
Her skin was as white as snow, her lips as red as a rose, and her hair as black as coal, just as her mother had wished for.
她的皮肤像雪一样白，她的嘴唇像玫瑰一样红，她的头发像煤一样黑，正如她母亲所希望的那样。
One morning, the wicked queen approached the mirror and asked again. “Magical Mirror on the wall! Tell me! Who is the fairest of all?”
一天早晨，邪恶的王后走到镜子前又问了一遍。“墙上的魔镜!告诉我谁是世界上最美的人?”
To the wicked queen’s great shock, the magical mirror had a different answer for her that day.
让邪恶的王后大为震惊的是，魔镜那天给了她一个不同的答案。
“Snow White! Snow White, Snow White is the fairest of all!”
“白雪公主!白雪公主，白雪公主是世界上最美丽的!”
The wicked queen knew that the magical mirror only spoke the truth and she grew very envious of Snow White.
邪恶的王后知道魔镜只说实话，她非常嫉妒白雪公主。
So one day, when the king was away the wicked queen called a hunter to her chambers.
所以，有一天当国王走开后邪恶的王后把一个猎人叫到她的房间。
“You will take Snow White to the forest and get rid of her, and bring back a lock of her hair for me.”
“你要带白雪公主去森林，除掉她。给我带一束她的头发回来。”
The hunter took Snow White to the forest where they came to a cliff.
猎人带着白雪公主去了森林，他们来到一个悬崖边。
He prepared to push snow white off the cliff.

But when he saw how loving she was, he stopped himself.
但当他看到她那么可爱时，他住手了。
“Princess Snow White, your stepmother, the wicked queen has asked me to get rid of you, but I do not have the heart to hurt you.”
“白雪公主,你的继母、邪恶的王后要我除掉你。但我无心害你。”
“ Please stay here in the forest and never return to the kingdom.”
“请呆在这森林里。永远不要回到王国。”
The hunter then left Snow White in the forest, but he made sure to cut a lock of her hair first.
猎人把白雪公主留在了森林里，但他先剪了她的一束头发。
The hunter returned to the castle and presented the lock of hair to the wicked queen.
猎人回到城堡，把那绺头发交给了邪恶的王后。
“Snow White is gone! and I am the fairest of them all once again!”
“白雪公主不见了!我又成为他们当中最美丽的人了!”
Wandering through the forest, Snow White came upon a tiny cottage near some mountains.
白雪公主在森林里流浪，她在群山附近遇见了一座小屋。
She entered the cottage and found a delicious meal laid out on the table.

“Seven little plates! They are full of delicious food! ”
“七个小盘子!它们盛满了美食!”
Snow White was so hungry that she ate all the food.

She then went to rest in the bedroom. “Oh! There are seven little beds here. There must be seven children living in this house! ”
然后她去卧室休息。“哦!这里有七张小床，这所房子里一定住着七个孩子!”
“I think I’ll take a nap until they come back.” Quite exhausted, Snow White fell fast asleep.
“我想我要小睡一会儿直到他们回来。”白雪公主很困，马上就睡着了。
The house belonged to seven dwarfs. They were miners who worked in the mountains.
这房子属于七个小矮人。他们是在山里工作的矿工。
When they returned in the evening, they realized that someone was in their house.
