白雪公主英語版:
Once upon a time, a queen was doing needle work while staring outside her window at the beautiful snow. It was because of her distracted state that she pricked her finger on her needle and a drop of blood fell on some snow that had fallen on her windowstill. As she looked at the blood on the snow she said to herself, "Oh how I wish that I had a daughter that had skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony". Soon after that, the queen gave birth to a baby girl who had skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony. They named her Princess Snow White, but sadly, the queen died after giving birth to Snow White. Later, the king takes a new wife who is beautiful but very proud, and possesses evil powers. She also possesses a magic mirror, to whom she would often ask "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?", and to which the mirror would always reply, "You are". But soon after Snow White becomes seven (which is the official age that a girl becomes a maiden) when she asks her mirror, it responds, "Queen, you're the fairest where you are, but Snow White is more beautiful by far".
The Queen is jealous, and orders a huntsman to take Snow White into the woods to be killed. She demands that the huntsman return with Snow White's lungs and liver as proof. The huntsman takes Snow White into the forest, but finds himself unable to kill the girl. Instead, he lets her go, and brings the queen the lungs and liver of a wild boar. (In the Disney movie, these are replaced by a heart.)
Snow White discovers a tiny cottage in the forest, belonging to seven dwarfs, where she rests. Meanwhile, the Queen asks her mirror once again, "Who's the fairest of them all?", and is horrified when the mirror tells her that Snow White, who is alive and well and living with the dwarfs, is still the fairest of them all.
Three times the Queen disguises herself and visits the dwarves' cottage where Snow White is staying to try to kill her. First, disguised as a peddler, the Queen offers colorful stay-laces and laces Snow White up so tight she faints and the Queen takes her for dead. Snow White is revived by the dwarves when they loosen the laces. Next the Queen dressed as a different old woman combs her hair with a poisoned comb. Snow White again collapses, and again the dwarves save her. Lastly the Queen makes a poison apple, and in the guise of a country woman offers it to Snow White. She is hesitant, so the Queen cuts the apple in half, eats the white part — which has no poison — and gives the poisoned red part to Snow White. She eats the apple eagerly and immediately falls into a deep, magical sleep. When the dwarfs find her, they cannot revive her; and so they mourn and place her in a glass coffin, thinking that she has died. (The Disney version only adopts the poison apple plot, and the queen meets her demise as she is chased by the dwarves.)
Time passes, and a prince travels through the land and sees Snow White in her coffin. The prince is enchanted by her beauty and instantly falls in love with her. He begs the dwarfs to let him have the coffin. The prince and his men carry the coffin away, but as they go they stumble, the coffin jerks and the piece of poison apple flies out of Snow White's mouth, awakening her. The prince then declares his love and soon a wedding is planned. (In the Disney version, the cure for this deep sleep was love's first kiss. The Prince takes a revived Snow White away, and the film ends.)
The vain Queen, still believing that Snow White is dead, again asks her mirror who is fairest in the land and yet again the mirror disappoints by responding that "You, my queen, are fair; it is true. But the young queen is a thousand times fairer than you".
Not knowing that this new queen is indeed her stepdaughter, she arrives at the wedding, and her heart fills with the deepest of dread when she realizes the truth.
As punishment for her wicked ways, a pair of heated iron shoes are brought forth with tongs and placed before the Queen. She is then forced to step into the red-hot shoes and dance until she falls down dead.
譯文：
很久很久以前，某個國家的皇后在冬季生下了一個女孩，因此她被命名為白雪公主，皇后在生下公主不久后就過世了，國王另娶了一個美麗驕傲的女人當(dāng)皇后。新皇后有一面魔鏡，她常常問魔鏡：魔鏡呀魔鏡，誰是世界上最美麗的女人？，魔鏡總是回答：您是世界上最美麗的女人。但隨著白雪公主的長大，有一天，魔鏡回答皇后說：皇后陛下，您的確是個相當(dāng)美麗的女人，但是白雪公主比你更美麗。
皇后非常嫉妒白雪公主的美貌，因此她命一名獵人帶白雪公主到森林中，并將她殺掉。為了確認白雪公主已死，皇后要獵人事成之后，帶著白雪公主的肺和肝回來，作為證明。獵人帶著白雪公主到森林中，但他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己無法下手殺害這個女孩，獵人放了白雪公主，然后獵了野豬，取它的`肺和肝交差。
在森林中，白雪公主發(fā)現(xiàn)一個小小的農(nóng)舍，這個農(nóng)舍屬於，她在這個農(nóng)舍中住了下來。此時，皇后又再度問魔鏡：魔鏡呀魔鏡，誰是世界上最美麗的女人？，魔鏡回答：白雪公主尚在人世，且和矮人們同住在森林中。於是皇后偽裝成一個農(nóng)婦，到森林中拜訪白雪公主，并給她一個毒蘋果，當(dāng)白雪公主咬下蘋果，立即昏了過去。當(dāng)七矮人發(fā)現(xiàn)她時，只能哀慟地將她放在一個玻璃棺中。
時光流逝，有一個國家的王子經(jīng)過這座森林，發(fā)現(xiàn)躺在玻璃棺中的白雪公主。王子被白雪公主的美麗所吸引并且愛上了她。他向矮人們要求，讓他帶走玻璃棺。他的隨從在搬運的過程中，有人不小心被絆倒，這一搖晃，讓一片毒蘋果由白雪公主的嘴中咳出，白雪公主也因此蘇醒。王子向白雪公主表明了愛意，決定婚期。
虛榮的皇后認為白雪公主已死，她再度問魔鏡誰是這個世界上最美麗的女人，魔鏡的回答卻使她震驚不已，魔鏡說：皇后陛下，您的確很美，但是新的皇后比您還要美麗。
皇后前往參加了這場婚禮，發(fā)現(xiàn)原來這個新皇后就是白雪公主。
為了懲罰她惡劣的行徑，她的雙腳被套上一雙熾熱的鐵鞋，然后她一直跳一直跳直到死去。
